An explosion of gas or Are damp at Rob lyn, Wash., Tuesday of last week, killed every person in tho mine, 45 in all. The list of dead shows that nearly all killed had large families. Mrs. J. H. Putnam and sister, Miss Emma Meek, came over Wednesday from Fossil and are visiting at the home of their mother, Mrs. E. Meek, seven miles west of town. Father Lemay of Heppner held mass in the Catholic church at Condon, Sun day, to a large and appreciative congre gation. He is a well-educated gentle man, and a fluent orator. t An eastern editor announces the arri val of a twelfth responsibility at his hor.se, and makes the following appeal thereafter: "More subscribers wanted immediately at this officer W. G. Keys and a number of other cat tlemen will begin riding for cattle, June 1st, beginning at the head of Buckhorn for a general round-np, and on June 8th they will move to the old Cromwell cor ral, near Crown Rock. Geo. Knox is levelling off tbe ground this week, preparatory to beginning . Vork on a large new livery stable on North Main street, Just north of where the Glasgow barn stood. The size of tbe new barn will be 64x70. Condon Is to have another store soon. Geo. Neale informs ns that as Boon as lumber can be procured he will build a notion and grocery store, between Mil ler's store and tbe harness shop, on the east side of Main street. Notice L. W. Darling & Co.'s new ad. This wide-awake firm keeps almost any thing you can think of even to wagons, buggies, farming implements, furniture, etc., and their prices compare favorably with those of the city. Call and see for yourselves. Thos. Morgan, who had been chief clerk in the ralace hotel at Heppner alnce last summer, Is visiting relatives and old friends in Gilliam. He has se cured a position with the Eastern Ore gon Fair Association, with headquarters at Prairie City. The booths for the June election should tie erected at once, so that voters may tret used to them.' This voting under the new law is a serious matter. Keep VR lact at lewnt in sour mind, that yog are to scratch out all the names except those you wish to vote for. Condon is to have a new enterprise Boon in the form of a gin mill. J. M. Curl of Mavville purchased a gin mill in the valley and will move it up here at wtice. lie thinks because Condon Is cen trnlly located, it is the most suitable place he could find for his distillery. A change has been made in the time card of the Union Pacific. Passenger trains west-bound will be due nt Arling ton, one at 12 :40 at night, the other at 1 :50 p. m. East-bound, one at 2:15 a. m.. the other 3 :37 p. m. See new time card on pagel, of the Globk. next week M r. and Mrs. I). M. Ri nehart and baby came over from Lone Rock Friday and ... ace visiting their relatives In town. They wHl move back to town about June 1st, that being the time Dan's mail contract expires. They are good neighbors and citiaens, and we are glad to welcome them back. Assessor D. Mason was in town several days this week. The Gi.obr'b complete and first-class Job office turned out a lot of fine work for him this week. It Is the only job office in the county, and our magnificent "Universal" jobber Kits been buraing almost incessantly during the last mouth or 2. Jones Miss Hiigly is going to innrry a printer, 1 here. She What could she see in him to admire? Jones His ex cellent presswork; I guess. Judge. About a dozen of the Beecher Flat cit izens, whose patience has been worn out waiting for this road district to improve Its roiid on 30-mllu grade, have left their plows and are Improving the road them selves this week. They deserve much credit for this, and our people surely ought to appreciate the great favor. It is astonishing how suddenly a first class oflkial paper can make a doctor out of a man. Last week in our mention of Mr. Dan Ilodgin's arrival here, our force of type-setters must have missed their toe-hold and got a 1) in frontof the r, in stead of an M, thus making it Dr. In stead of Mr., as it should have been. If you will show us a man who is kick ing his home paper, In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred, he will prove to be un successful in his own business, if he has any. Men of that calibre seldom ever get Into business of any kind except to waste all their time looking out for their neigh bors' shortcomings.-l larney Ti mes. Rev. W. C. Wise left Saturday to at tend the Mid-Colurnbia Association of the Congregational churches of Eastern Oregon, which met at Hood River on the 19th. Before returning to Condon, Mr. Wise will take a short and much needed rest. Ho will visit Forest Grove, Scappoose and other points in the valley and on the coast. - Four carpenters Messrs. 8. 8. Grider, II. M. Hoss, A.J.Walker and Squire Tatom, began the erection Monday of J. II. Miller's fine dwelling in the south end of town. A foot or so of water has been reached already in his well on the same lot, and when all is complete, Mr. Miller and family will have a very cozy and comfortable home. , Heppner Gazette: D. M. Rinohart, the Lone Rock stage man, informs us that work on the Lone Rock-Heppner road is being pushed very rapidly, the Sweetmilk canyon grade having been completed, and a crew of twelve men are now at work on the Buttermilk canyon. The people who subscribed to this work should appreciate the fact that the mon ey Is being used In the right direction. Teachers' quarterly examination closed at Condon Friday. All of the 12 appli cants, with one exception, were success ful in securing certificates. Miss Ethel Parman has taught several successful terms, on a 3d grade ; but according to the new school law, it made it compul sory for her to secure a 2d grade this time, which she fell just a little short of accomplishing. She will be better pre pared for the next trial in August, at which time she hopes to bo successful. Steve Metteer and Henry Panning re turned home this week from Custer county, Idaho, whore they went early in the spring to secure work. That coun try depends entirely upon the support of mines, and for some reason all the mines shut down for the present, hence their return home. They say Gilliam county is away ahead of any country they saw on the entire round, in every respect. A person to thoroughly appre ciate this section onr excellent climate, resources, advantages, etc., has only to try his luck on a hunt for better. It cures them every time. They all come back here again. Charley Gross and family are anxious to come back again, and we understand they will move back this spring from Athena. The democratic candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization, 7th district, is Hon. William Hughes of Heppner. Mr. Hughes has all the nec essary qualifications for the position for which he has been nominated. He is a man of shrewd business instincts, his judgment in all matters pertaining to the valuation of property is sound, his experience in business affairs covers a long period, and peculiarly fits him for the duties of the office. We have had the privilege of a personal acquaintance with Mr. Hughes for nearly five years, and we can honestly recommend him to the democratic and republican voters of this district as a man who has the pub lic welfare at heart and who, if elected, will bring to the office tact, firmness and TTeTeruuhation tolto justiceTo ail classes, irrespective of their circumstances or politics. MorO Observer. Johnny Maddock arrived home Mon day, after three weeks ntedieul treat ment In the Keeley Institute at l'orest Grove. This surely is one of the grand est and noblest institutions in the world. In 21 days Johnny has regained the vigor and manhood and brightness of intellect, that he had been unfortunately, cruelly deprived of for many years. He is a now man altogether, and it would be difficult to find words to express the joy and hap piness of himself and family at his res cuo and recovery from the awful and mis erable affliction which made life a bur den to him. Johnny Is a man of rare In tellect, and Is certain that he will have no rouble in steering clear of any fur ther Inclination of allowing liquor to get the best of him again. The Keeley cure of the liquor habit, as well as that of ex cessive use of tobacco, opium, morphine, etc., is certainly a boon and God-send to humanity. In three weeks time It lifts any of the unfortunate victims out of the very jaws of degredation and worse than death, and returns them to life and use fulness again; it makeB them human again, instead of remaining a sorrowful joke on humanity nnd a feeble-minded horror to their families and friends. The special school ineeting in this dis trict Wednesday for the purpose of vot ing a small tax with which to defray the expenses of rnnning the school, paying the teacher, etc., resulted In the tax be ing voted down. This will look badly to outsiders. If the citizens of this district have no Interest in maintaining a good school here, who can they expect to have? No doubt all who voted against it are fully aware that nothing Is so ben eficial to their district as a good school ; and that nothing increases the value of their property so much. Yet we ven ture the assertion that not one of them can give a sensible or satisfactory excuse why they voted against the tax. Not one of them feels proud over their vic tory, Tho little district of Moro, Sher man county (about half the size of ours) a few days ago voted a $5,000 tax for a new school houses af Wasco, a town the same size, a $10,000 tax ; at Heppner a $12,000 tax ; and all around us the peo people seem to have a natural pride in building up good schools and maintain ing them. Why should we not be like wise? Our school house was built on the most economical plan possible, at a cost not to exceed $2000. Yet a few of the citizens (always on the lookout for a mare's nest) will try to leave the impres sion that the district has robbed them 1 when the records show plainly where every cent was spent in the most judi cious manner doubtless much more so than the kickers could have expended the school funds themselves. Arlington Antonatlons. Rev. Wise of Condon preached in the Methodist church here Sunday last. Frank Remington has been appointed agent for the water works, from May 1st. Mrs. C. A. Franks, who is visiting in Ellensburg, says it is still winter over there, with doodles of snow yet. 8. F. and Jake Ralston who have been scouring the country buying cattle the last month, received 300 head Sunday from Blurock & Peters. A meeting is called for June 20th by the Arlington & Klickitat Ferry Co. So it looks as if there is going to he another boat put in here before long, after all. Patsy Lynch's melodious voice was heard on the north end of Main St. Mon day evening. His voice is better adapt ed for roast beef and pears, however, than for singing. Wool teams throng the street daily, and the warehouses will soon be filled to their utmost capacity. In fact they are nearly as full now as some of the boys were a night or 2 ago. Hon. W. L. Bradshaw of The Dalles was in town one day last week on busi ness. The judge is extremely popular down here, and our people will give him a rousing vote the 6th of next month. We understand E. B. Frum, 8. CollinB and C. Bressler have taken up claims east of Castle Rock, and that they are "building" a ditch with a view to ob taining water for their places by means of the Columbia river. Considerable disappointment was man ifested in the Armory hall Monday when Miss Alice Hamill was ordered to liqui date a license before proceeding with her entertainment. She refused to do so, and refunded the admission fees. W. L. Ballard and wife hud been fast sinking with consumption. Saturday last the husband breathed his last, the remains being interred Sunday. The wife's lease of life is very short. Every thing that human power can conceive has been done to alleviate their suffer ings. Sub. Contention Crosscuts. McAlister & Peaslee have had the mutton barbers at work for over a week, yet only about 1200 have been sheared. Peaslee takes it pretty easy, but "Ale" scours so that it reverberates against the rocks for miles around. The suit against G. L. Frizzell and 11. H. Wheeler by the toll road company resulted in a victory for the defendants, at which decision everybody, excepting the plaintiffs, rejoices. This toll road is a nuisance and ought to be abolished. Joe Chapman's largo new barn was completed this week, and it's an honor to his place. It is a mammoth struct ure, but Joe will have grain to fill it bo full that it will ooze out through the roof. In other words, "as full as a stall fed tick." Never in the history of the country has there been such good prospects for enormous crops of all kinds as at pres ent. There w ill not be room to stack the hay on the ground it grows on, and the stacks will have to bug over onto the neighbors' farms. The John Day is still very high, which state of affair, makes it pretty rocky for sheepmen who have to cross their flocks. Helms ferry broke loose Thursday while crossing with a lot of Zaeh Keys' sheep. It lauded about three miles below on an island. All but 32 head swam ashore, and the rest were taken off safely. Politics isn't sizzlin much over here. Not a single candidate (or married one, either) has set a foot on this side of the divide yet. The other day a man here offered to bet 2 to 1 on Val Wheeler's election for assessor, but no one would take the bet. Bully for Vail There never was a better or more worthy roan plttced ou any ticket than Yal, and he ought to, and we think will, receive the solid vote from this end of the county, regardleae of party feeling.

Dated May 6. 1892. Lone Rock Rumblings. School in the upper district is pro gressing nicely, with good attendance. The heavy rains of last Sunday caused a suspension of our Sunday school that day, it being the first failure of this kind for many Sundays. Little Ethel Goff had her collar bone broken while at play a few days ago, but is getting along nicely and will be well again in a few days. Paul Jones has brought his band of 300 head of cattle to the Juniper range for the summer. Bill Matlock is his foreman, buccaroo and rustler. After trying his luck several weeks at road work, Pat Lynech abandoned the pick ami shovel. lie says too many bosses, and long-hour clocks does not meet with his approval. Of course we all accept Rov. Wise's excuse of last week as bona fide, and truly hope the weather may become mild and tranquil in the course of a few months, so he can try it again. The weather the last couple of days has been warm and sunny, which change of weather is duly appreciated by our people. Farmers are about through seed ingand are preparing for harvest, which is not a great distance off. The road workers on the L. R. & Hepp ner road are sending up fire and smoke in such vast quantities that people are beginning to think that is the cause of bo much rain. Old Jupiter Fluvius has favored ns with abundance of rain this season, a fact that most of you have no- ticed, no doubt. Cowboy. Germany Gems. "D n the grippe" becomes very and ible( ?) quite often nowadays. S. M. Thomas, of Cal., a nephew of P, C, Martin, arrived here recently, accom panied by his little son. - j A private letter from California states that cherries are ripe (-.own there "in the land of the orange and palm." Poor consolation to us, however; we can jet cast our eagle eye upon snow-covered hills almost every day. Ugh! the rain won't stop. But my I doesn't the grass and grain look tine? Some fear is entertained that the rapid i and rank growth will not be able to stand the hot, dry winds of June. It is best to not borrow trouble before it comes, however. We are glad to think there iB a pros pect for a friendly meeting of companies 11 and E on July )4 at Fossil. We hope the thing will be made to go. If so, we will, as an inducement, promise to go to see them "perform." Frisky. Of No Use. Stern parent 1 teli you what it is, j llanna Jane, I'm tired of seeing that young fellow coming here two or three evenings a week. I think I shall have to sit down on him.
