According to the opinion of the own
ers, there are a great many racehorses
in the county, and it seems that each
one of the owners is certain that his
horse is the fastest. In order to decide
the thing, R. W. Crane suggests that all
persona having fast horses in Gilliam
county meet at Mayville on July 4th and
have the thing settled, there being a
splendid race track at that place. Mr.
Crane suggests that all who wish to run
their horses, pay as an entrance fee $10
each, and the winner take the entire
purse; the money to be paid to Wm.
Trask at Mayville, not Inter than June
15th. Distance, single dash of one mile.
Jso trained horses admitted. What do

A popular official in Oregon once went
fishing with a minister. Bites were
plentiful, but the official seemed to get
all of them. The minister fished away,'
but never got a bite. He was about to
give up in despair, when lo, and behold
he was at last favored with a nibble.
The fish broke the line, and the preacher
fell in, heels over appetite. He came up
blowing like a whale, and frantically
shrieked to his companion: "John, if
my early education had been neglected
what do you suppose I'd have said 7"
A great many lots were sold in differ
ent parts of our city this week. W. 8,
Myers bought two lots lying east of the
public square, for W. K. Wakefield, who
expects to erect a hotel here this sum
mer. Mr. Wakefield has plenty of the
wherewith lying in the bank, and there
is no danger of the thing falling through.
Geo. Knox and Mont Ward each bought
several more lots on North Main street ;
F. M. Filter bought two lots in the block
lying south of the public square, and ex
pects to build a residence thereon at
once. We understand a number were
also sold in the south end of town.
So far as we are able to learn, Hon.
W. II. Wilson, our present efficient pros
ecuting attorney, seems to be-the favor
ite throughout this county and section
for re-election to that position. He has
made an excellent record for himself
during his term in that office, and has
made himself extremely popular witii
our people. The voters know from ex
perience that a better man can not lie
found for the office, and they are not at
all anxious to exchange him for a new,
Inexperienced man, who doubtless is
not so well qualified for the position.
Mr. Wilson ought to be re-elected, and
we hope he will be.
An exchange bits the street loafer a
stunner, in the following language: In
the beginning God created heaven and
earth and all things therein. He then
created man and woman, and left the
loafers on the cornors. In due time they
multiplied and spread into the saloon,
postofTk and stores. In the latter place
they sit and explain state and national
problems that have vexed great minds,
and exist by partially sampling goods.
While he is thus engaged, his wife is out
washing for his neighbors, and the poor
helpless children are left at home to
care for themslves as best they can.
There is nothing more noticeable than
the loafer.
The roar and din of the hammer and
saw at Condon is almost deafening, and
no doubt will continue so all summer.
Four carpenters are busy on J. H. Mil
ler's house, while two others Mr. Mc
Morris and son John are building an ad
dition onto his store ; Bill Thurnagle is
hammering away at A. Henshaw's new
furniture store; and work on Knox's
large livery stable will begin next week.
A dozen teams or more are constantly
on the rond hauling lumber from the
Lost Valley mills, and lots are being
sold almost hourly to parties who exiect
to build here this summer. Verily Con
don is booming, under the Gi.obk'u pow
erful influence.
School clerk Darling has notices post
ed again for another school meeting on
June 2d, for the purpose of electing one
director to till the unexpired term of W.
S. Myers, resigned. Also to vote a small
tax with which to pay the teachers, and
a few other current expenses. It is sin
cerely hoped the voters of the district
will be able to see, before it is too late,
the vast importance of maintaining a
good school in their district. The ex
penses already incurred must be paid,
and we can't expect some other district
to pay our debts. This is only what all
other districts are obliged to do when
school funds are needed. Do not get
the idea into your heads that this voting
a tax is a war between the town voters
and the country voters. It is nothing of
the kind. The town people are so much
in the minority that the country people
really ought to be more interested in the
school than anyone else. Don't come to
the meeting on the 2d, with your mind
made up to "vote down any motion that
is made for the good of the school," no
matter what the motion is which, we
are sorry to say, seemed to be the case
at the last meeting,
The Arlington Mudslinger last week
made another sickly starvation groan in
its distressingly weak effort at abuse of
the Globe the ofllcial and leading pa
per of Gilliam county. When the gur.-
slerof that worthless and starved-out
would-be paper glances over the Gi,obk
and sees it literally running over with
legal and other good-paying advertise
ments, besides containing all the import
ant news of the county, it has the same
effect upon him that a red rag has with
an enraged bull. The miserable old
whisky tank has made a most dismal
failure at everything he has ever under
taken yet (except guczltng whisky) and
it evidently is mortifying to him to see
the Globk having such brilliant success,
while he is gradually being starved out.
If the snide pettifogger will devote the
time h'e wastes in debauchery and abuse
of the Glouk to reading law, perhaps he
might be able in the course of ten or fif
teen years' time to be admitted "again"
(???) to the bur (to practice law). He
might then bd able to make "a respecta
ble living, and would not then be com
pelled to prostitute journalism as he is
at present. The first issue of the Mud
slinger was a disgrace to journalism, and
it has been getting worse every issue to
everybody says, , It will soon be in the
dishonorable grave, ulready dug by its
own guzzling management. .
A Political Farce.
About the weakest , and by far the lit
tlest political shyster work yet heard of
up to date is that of several parties who
are now at work in the 7th district cir
culating printed "comparative records"
of Judges Bradshaw and Watkins. As
aforesaid, it is the weakest thing yet
heard of up to the hourof going to press,
except the Watkins boom for judge. The
alleged "comparative record" seems to
refer to the terms of circuit court held in
Morrow county, and is sworn to by one
F. J, liallock. (Who the devil is F. J.
Ilallock, anyway? He doesn't seem to
bo chairman or secretary of any central
committee, or is in no way interested in
the courts). Couldn't a more prominent
person be drummed up over there to
shoulder the statements in question?
This fellow Ilallock does not testify that
the "record" comprised the whole trans
cript thereof, and possibly his statement
is correct as far as it goes bnt it doesn't
go very far. It is an injustice to Judge
Bradshaw to misrepresent him in such a
manner, and the whole thing is a mis
erable farce. If anything, it weakens
the Watkins boom which seems to be
about as weak already as it could be.
The following letter to one of oar citi
zens this week explains the matter in
its true colors, and is from thoroughly
reliable parties, too:
Thb Dalles, Ob., May 20, '92.
My Dear Sia: Having received several
letters from your county in regard to the
Watkins comparative statement, we take
this opportunity of addressing you :
In the first place we, through the Sun,
dared them to publish the alleged state
ment, so thaf the people might see it
and give Judge Bradsiiaw an opportuni
ty to answer it; but they refused to pub
lish it, preferring to circulate it in a
clandestine manner amongst some of
their hired henchman. It is such a con
temptible, little piece of business that it
is hardly worth noticing. - It is not the
whole truth about the matter, and is
done for the purpose of misleading the
people.
I have talked with Judge Bradshaw '
about the matter, and he says the rec-
ords do not bear them out in the state-;
uient. In the first place, at the Febru-
arv term of 1886 the first term held in
this county by Judge Watkins, he was
assisted by Judge Taylor, who was judge
of this district, Taylor being present
during that term for ten days and tried
seven jury cases for Watkins. The state
ment is silent on that point, but gives
all the credit to Watkins for the work
done. Then again, when Watkins went
on the bench, he took the business from
Judge Taylor who had kept the docket
up, so that Watkins had no old business
to dispose of. Judge Bradshaw took the
business from Judge Bird, who had been
sick and unable to attend to business for
about eighteen months, there having
been no court in the county during that
time, except when we could get some
outside judge to come and hold court,
and that wasn't very often ; and when
they did come they could not stay long
enough to cleanup the docket. The con
sequence was, the business came to Judge j
Bradshaw, in very bad shape, but he
worked hard and faithfully, and the
dockets are now all clear.
Another false point of the Watkins
statement is, he doesn't show how long
at each term of court the jury was held.
Everyone knows that the expense and
working time of court is while the jury
is present. For instance, he claims that
at the February term of this year the
court held fourteen judicial days and
tried five jury trials.. ' Now, the records
show that the jury was discharged at the
end of the first week, making six judi
cial days, in which time five jury cases
were tried. The balance of the time was
taken up in hearing equity cases, at but
little or no expense to the county. In
his statement he does not mention the
number of cases that were on the docket
at each term, what kind of cases they
were whether criminal or civilthe
length of time it took to try the cases,
the expense of the term, or anything
that would lead to show to the people
the truth of the matter.
If he refuses to publish this statement
we will publish it for him. with all nee-
weary ex plawaikms,- lffore eUnaiioft, -

Ed Gibbons Drowned.
Sunday's Oregonian contains the fol
lowing sad telegram from Umatilla, un
der date of May 21st:
"Ed Gibbohs, a 15-year-old boy. was
drowned in the Umatilla river near the
railroad bridge to-day (21 Ht). He went
to take a bath and as he did not return,
search was made and his clothes found
on the river bank. His body has not
yet been found. It is supposed he step
ped in a deep hole and could not swim.
The boy's folks live at Mayville, Oregon.
About six months ago he came here, say
ing that his father, who is a painter, bad
given him $10 and told him to strike out
for himself. The boy has been working
in a hotel here since."
The unfortunate boy's father, Mr. Geo.
Gibbons, passed through town early
Wednesday morning, en route to Uma
tilla. The parents are heart-broken over
the extremely sad affair. The father is
particularly so, for the reason, as he sta
ted to the editor of the Globe, that from
the report given in the dispatch, people
may think he had mistreated his son,
which he says is a mistake. Mr. Gib
bons has always been a kind and dutiful
father, and the editor knows personally
of several instances during the last year
or two when the boy ran away from
home and the father spent a great deal of
time and money hunting him and bring
ing him back. The boy was naturally
kind-hearted, and was not by any means '
vicious, but always hud an irresistible
inclination to rove around. The be
reaved parents and family have the sym
pathy of the entire community.
