Chas. Fix has the thanks of the town
for filling in and levelling up the street

stable. .
Notwithstanding the fact that times
are a little quiotor than usual, the roar
of the hammer and saw still continues
unabated all over our little city. Con
don is building tip very rapidly, and is
of the permanent and substantial kind,
too. There is no longor any doubt that
it Is destined to lead all other towns In
Eastern Oregon within five years. Now
is the time to invest and build here
while property is yet cheap. ,

M, V. Harrison of Hood River seems
to 1 in a bard row of stumps. Eastern

son manages to keep on making costly
Improvements and yet apparently seems
to always be deeply involved in debt.
The Oregonian has quite a lengthy ar
ticle on convict labor being put on pub
lic highways. This would undoubtedly
be the proper thing to do, as it would
Improve our roads and not take work
from the man who wants it and is trying
to make an honest living. The way
criminal labor has been managed for the
past few years has almost been an in
ducement for a man to commit crime to
keep from starving in many places, as
they have been deprived of work be
cause it could be done cheaper by con
vict labor.
Nancy flanks has again lowered her
record, this time on the regulation track
at Terre Haute, Indiana, changing the

all previous records, not excepting those
of the kite-shaped track. By this feat,
Doble, Nancy's driver, . wins the $5000
prize offered by Robt. Bonner to the
first horse that went 2:05 on a regula
tion track. Those who have kept a care
ful eye on Nancy Hanks have about con
cluded that the mare will never be en
tirely happy until she has kept up ber
two-minute gait for four consecutive
quarters.
There is no occasion whatever for our
business men to get discouraged at the
slight dullness of trade. It is true, trade
at present is not quite so brisk as it has
been; but all the travelling men tell us
that more business is done at Condon,
for the size of .the place than at any town
in tiie state. Our business men cannot
expect to do a "land office business"
when all other towns in the country are
even duller than ours. They also inform
us that Condon cannot be excelled any
where in the West for thrift and enter
prise, which is the result of its live news
paper.

and Miss Lillian Rohrer occompanied
them on their homeward trip.
Commissioner Ralston is about to be
gin painting his new house. From the
neat and tidy manner in which Uncle
Joe is having things fixed up, one can
hardly avoid suspecting that he has mat

that sort.
John M. Brown finished threshing
Tuesday, His crew of hands was well

Halverson, representing CopnerACo.;
J. B. Goff, the postolileo ; and R. G.

tune of f 1.50 per day. ,
Quite- an-extenmve -fand-'- trade- was
made here a few days ago between Mr.
Silas Brown and his son Billy by which
the latter becomes the owner of the Ca
mas Prairie ranch, while Grandpa gets
thollOO-acre Rock creek farm. Both
these tracts contain choice and valuable
land. Cowhov.
To Our School Patrons.
The amount of public money on hand
in our district at present is $'-'50, which
falls short about $350 of being sufficient
to run the six months term of school, at
the rate of $100 por month, vtbe amount
it will take. : v ' f
After careful consideration, we have
concluded that the most practical and
satisfactory manner, to the district at
largo, by which to raise the necessary
amount is to levy a rate bill, and thus
raise the amount among the patrons of
the district who send children to the
school. This rate tax will be collected
at the end of the term. All scholars at
tending our school from outside the dis
trict will be charged as follows: For
the grammar department, $fl per quar
ter, and the primary department, $5 per
quarter, payable strictly in advance.

How to Destroy Squirrels.
En. Globb : For the benefit of your
many readers who are likely to be dam
aged by squirrels next season, I give my
modus operandi in destroying them,
which I believe is the best yet known
I speak from my experience last spring:
Owing to the lateness of the spring
and the frequent snowfall, it was very
easy to find their holes in tne snow, and
making my rounds after the snow fell,
dropping a little of the poison wherever
squirrel tracks were found, and after re
peating this five or six times, I found
that not a single corn or cabbage plant
was damaged and very little (train de
stroyed. The little pests must lie "nip
ped in the bud j" after they get a start
it is next to impossible to exterminate
them.
The squirrels make their apearance
about the middle of March, and in some
favored localities they do not hole-up
until about the middle of August. They
do the most damage in July, before the
grain is thoroughly ripe, when poison is
of little, if any, use and when the grass
and grain is so tall that the shotgun is
of little effect in killing 'them. .There
fore, use your poison early, and don't be
fooled by thinking because there seems
so few it is not worth bothering about
them; they multiply with a rapidity
that is astonishing. Another reason for
beginning early is that the dead squir
rels are eaten by their survivors.
I prefer strychnine, especially in wet
weather. One dollar's worth is suffi
cient for 320 acres if judiciously used.
I mix it as follows: Take a quart can
and put into it pint of molasses,
pulverized strychnine about one-sixth
of an ounce of an ounce will
make about 6 quarts) after mixing the
syrup and poison thoroughly. Stir it in
corn meal, graham or shorts ; but not
corn meal alone, as it will not stick to
gether. Make it as stiff as you can with
an old knife, then drop a piece the size
of a bean in each hole, repeating as of
ten as you see signs of life.
By following the above directions, I
am satisfied yonr labor will be amply re
warded and the county saved from a
great deal of annoyance and needless ex
pense. Hoping my few remarks will
prove of some benefit to my brother far
mers, I subscribe myself, Farmbb.
, Germany Gems.
Mr. Kelsay, brother of B. Kelsay of
Fossil, passed through here Sunday from
Long Creek, on his way to the valley
with a band of horses.
Val Wheeler is building the new school
bouse here, which will be 24x30 in size.
No doubt it will be a good job. Val has
a way about him that whenever he starts
into do anything, he generally "gits
thar." We noticed that also when Ee
ran for assessor. So did Val.
The bright warm weather has brought
out the abominable fly again, with the
vigor of a buzz-saw. After careful figur
ing we have discovered that we could
have done without 'em, at least until
the "beautiful snow flies" again. ; The
foregoing joke is purely original also a
good one, as you have noticed.

To Friends of Education.
The president of the United States has
by proclamation set apart the 21st day
of October next as a public holiday, it
being the four hundredth anniversary of
the landing of Columbus. In his proc
lamation the president recommended
that it be esiecially observed by the
public schools ; that the American flag
be raised on every school house in the
land, and that appropriate exercises be
had in all the school houses at that
time.
Not wishing to be behind in anytbfng
that will tend to make our school one of
the best and most attractive in the state,
we have decided to celebrate this day
with appropriate exercises, and to this
end we would respectfully ask the hearty
co-operation of all those who are inter
ested in the cause of education.
We would especially request all old
veterans to assist, as to them will be as
signed the task of raising the flag.
These veterans are to include not only
those w ho wore the blue, but also those
who donned the gray, as it is the aim of
the public school system to teach the
rising generation the oneness of our na
tion and our flag. So let all veterans,
either of the "blue" or the "gray" that
are willing to assist, report to me as soon
as possible so that arrangements can 1
made for their part in the program, as
well as for their entertainment at that
time. There will be a parade of the
School on this occasion, and the military
and civic organizations will receive for
mal invitations to take part.
We expect to have a general good time
and would earnestly request all who have
an interest in the general welfare of the
country, and especially of the future of
the country, to assist the children in
commemorating this the greatest discov
ery that the world has ever known.
