Johnny Maddock drove a band of fine mutton sheep to Arlington this week, which he sold to J. A. Thomas. B. B. Jkrker sold some sheep and drove them to Arlington this week also. Can't you hear the hearts of the can didates going thumpety-thump? It'll all be over by Tuesday, and then the de . ieatod ones can go back to work again as if nothing had happened. Mrs. B. K. Searcy returned home the first of the week from Eugene, where the went to attend the meeting of the etate grange on May 24th. She reports the meeting as being unusually interest ing this year. , Sheriff Wilcox and Deputy Johnson distributed the ballot boxes and tickets to the various precincts of the county this week. The tickets this year are larger than usual, owing to a third party being in the field. ' Oqr city council has let the contract for building the Main street culvert to Jas.'

He is not making a partisan fight in this campaign. The reason he nrgues and, truthfully too, that the office o which he aspires Is wholly tkiiipoliti- cai. v ".' - v ' J. P. Lncas received word Monday from his wife, who is visiting relatives in Portland, that she was very sick. As there has beea no uusil since that time, and the railroad being in snch a shape that he,eannot go to Portland, he is very tuoav and alarrned. , H. B. J'.firkfir has jubt received a lrge quantity of Waltsbarg J'eerltSH flour, and is selling in at the very low price of 80c per smrk, cash. This flour is of the very best quality, as all can testify to who have nsed it. Very few people understand why the names of candidate oh the voting baf lots are mixed up so. It Is eany to ex plain. It Is required by law to have the names placed on the ticket in alphabet ical order, commencing with A and run ning to Z. Chas". Pcrrin returned Tuesday morn ing from bis visit to Antelope and Moro. Charley lias made arrangements to es tablish a harness shop at Antelope in a week or two. He has made a wise selection and we bespeak for him a healthy trade over there. Walter Albert Goodwin, Rep. candi date for county coroner, began work this week on a neat little residence for E. L. Johnson on his homestead about 8 miles west of Condon, at the head of Ferry Canyon. He has also secured the con tract for building the new school house in Ferry Canyon next month. Rev. E. Curran will preach at Condon next Sunday, morning and evening. The evening discourse will be upon the subject of election. As this subject is in the minds of all just now, his remarks cannot help but be interesting. Demo crats, republicans and populists are es pecially Invited to be present. Decoration Day, Wednesday, was ap propriately observed at Condon. The schools of Miss Dunn and Mrs. Taylor met in the school house at Condon in the afternoon and an appropriate and beautiful program was rendered by the scholars and teachers. Flowers were strewn on the graves of the dead also. The road from iiere to Arlington has been lined with wool teams the past week or so, It will be encouraging news to our sheepmen to learn that the price of wool is coming up, and is selling for several cents more than last year. We are informed that a man sold his wool at Heppner last week at 10c per pound. Chas. F. Perrin, a harness-maker of Condon, was over this week, and made arrangements to establish a harness and saddlery shop at Antelope in about a month from now. This is an institution that has long tteen needed here, and as it is a splendid location, Mr. Perrin will no doubt work up a big business here in a short time. Herald. Miss Daisy Downing, who has been attending the Pacific University at For est Grove, Washington county, the last nine months, returned home Saturday, Her brother Manley, who is attending the same school, is expected borne a week frem today, but Miss Ethel Par man and Elgin Myor will not return home for about three weeks yet. The editor and family visited the pleasant and cheerful home of Mr. and Mrs. II. T. Propst nesr Clem Sunday last. There are but very few people in Oregon' who have finer flower gardens than that of Mrs. Propst, or who have a greater variety of flowers. She makes a specialty of growing plants and flow ers for sale, and has selected them from various portions of the United States. Saturday was a lively day at Condon, owing to the political speaking. Rous ing speeches were made by J. E. David, 11. Clay Myers, B. K. Searcy and G. M. Irwin. A large crowd was out and each speaker received his share of applause, each one taking particular care to stop long enough at the end of each sentence to be applauded. Has the reader ever noticed bow much good it does a politi cian to be applauded often and loud? They like It. F. M. Lacey has bought 2300 bead of sheep in this section, which he intended to ship to Kansas City, starting this week, but owing to the railroad along the Columbia being damaged by the high water, he will be obliged to hold them here awhile yet. Joe Thomas is in even worse luck, as he had a trainload at Arlington ready to ship, east, and in order to avoid the heavy expense of holding them for several weeks he has undertaken to drive them to Umatilla Junction. After careful consideration we have concluded that it is not necessary to con tradict the malicious falsehoods that a certain sorehead is circulating alout the Globe refusing to publish a certain let ter, favoring a certain candidate. No one who knows him, or his object will believe it anv way. There is not a word of truth in the reports he is circulating. No letter of the kind was ever written for or sent to the Globe for publication, so how could we refuBe to pnblieh it? The reports are being circulated for polit ical capital only, and will be considered as such by all fair-minded men. W. II. Pease of Salt Lake City, the well-known mail route contractor, who secured the Arlington-Fossil mail con tract for the' next four yoars at (1808, has sublet the contract to Lee Phares of Fossil and Ed Trimble of Condon for $1800 a year. These are enterprising young men who no doubt will give satis faction and keep up the good record made for this route by Ed Nelson. Mr. Nelson will be greatly missed, as he is quite a favorite all along the route. The new proprietors will equip the route with the best horses and most comfortable hacks that can be obtained. They have purchased 14 head of Ed Nelson's horses, but have not yet' made a dicker for the coaches now in use. The Giobe wishes the new managers success. For Sheriff. ' Condon, June 1st. Ed. Gihe: In this week's Arlington Record ap pears a column or two of very childish rubbish, signed "Straight Republican," telling why he thinks some one else be sides Wilcox ought to be elected sheriff. There isn't an intelligent voter in the county who can not help feeling amused at his weak and childish effort. There is no sense or argument in his letter whatever, whi;b evidently was written by some one with more enthusiasm than brains. All there is in his letter is that he (Straight Rep) thinks this and thinks that, and every other word is a think. But he does not give a single reason why Wilcox ought not to be re-elected. Who cares what he thinks? The taxpayers, republicans and democrats alike, do not need to think or guess anything about Wilcox's ability to conduct the office in the mos( competent manner possible. They are sure of it and know without any doubt that he is able to give satis faction without having to think or guess at it. When "Straight Republican" al ludes to monopoly of holding office he strikes a harder blow at one of bis own candidates than at anyone else. , No office in the county is of so much importance to the taxpayers as that of sheriff. When they have an opportunity to elect a man whom they all know is their friend ; who has accommodated all of them, regardless of what party they belong to; who has befriended them even to his own personal loss by not crowding the taxpayers when he could have ruined them by forcing collection, by all means, now that you have the chance, show your appreciation of these favors by casting your vote next Monday for W. L. Wilcox for sheriff. There is not the slightest doubt that Mr. Wilcox had the power to put every de linquent taxpayer to costs and expense since April 2d. District Attorney Wilson says so, and he knows the law in these matters. Before casting your vote for Bheriff next Monday, think of all these things calmly and with an unprejudiced mind, and see if you will not feel that it is your duty to stand by a friend who has stood by you when you needed help the worst. With due respect for his opponent, there is no comparison between the two men in point of ability and qualification for the office. Mr. Wilcox's election will insure to the taxpayers two more years of efficient, accommodating service, and surely that is what they want more than simply a change in the office because a few of the bosses enemies of the taxpay erssay there onght to be a change. Taxpayer. Dufur vs. Jayne. By electing Hon. E. B. Dufur district attorney the taxpayers of this county will be Insured against useless and un necetwary expense. Everybody knows that this position requires the very test timber that can be found. Whenever there is an important criminal case, the defense of course employs the ablest law yers and best legal talent in the land such as Hon. A. 8. Bennett. What success can a district attorney of limited experience expect to have with such op ponents as Mr. Bennett in a case? As able an attorney as is W. II. Wilson, it is all he can do to "hold down" Bennett, and then very often, even with the best case, he doesn't succeed, as all our tax payers know. Mr. Bennett recently told a Condon citizen that he would rather have for his opponent in a case any at torney in the 7th district in preference to E. B. Dufur; that he (Dufur) was by far the ablest lawyer in the district. Taxpayers, before you cast your vote for district attorney next Monday, con sider this case with Bound judgment. It is strictly a nonpartisan office, so you are not obliged to "vote a straight ticket," as the bosses will holler. About all the sympathy a political boss has for the taxpayers is to get as much money out of them as possible without earning It. Beware of the political boss. The voters of this county know better than to pay any attention to the cheap penny-a-line stuff that appears in the Arlington paper against Mr. Dufur. Probably the few cents its publisher re ceives for such work blinds him to the best interests sf the taxpayers of this county. The Globe is simply working for w hat it honestly believes is to the best interests of the taxpayers and coun ty, and is not favoring the election of Mr. Dufur with the selfish motive that prompts the Arlington paper to "boost" his opponent at a ponny a line.. No doubt the reason, and it is a very good one, that Mr. Dufur has not made any speeches is for the same reason that Judge Bennett says he has not made any speeches in this campaign because the office is not a political one. Where there's a will there's a way for lawyers to make some money. An Oregon girl was married a short time ago. She immediately sold her piano, bought a sewing' machine and has made three shirts for her husband and two dresses for herself, and now twenty-three young men and seven wid owers are trying to marry her Bister. Ex. An exchange tells how a fanner tried a new way of catching rats. He took a keg and filled it half full of water and placed corn meal in the water, which floated on the surface. He then placed the keg in his baru. Next morning he emptied his keg of over a hundred drowned rats. ' Arflngton Items. S. Col linn' large irrigating wheel was carried away by the high waters. Mrs. A. A. Jayne and family sre visit ing relatives in Heppner this week. ' Nelson, the ferryman has lieen forced J to abandon his house owing to the high water. Miss Lou Baker, who has been visit ing friends here, has returned to her home across the river. J. A. Thomas is holding a large band of she- here, which he will ship east as soon as the trains can run again, Geo, Leghorn had a narrow escape from death a few days ago, while on the river. The bank caved in completely hurrying him and his boat. Fortunate ly help arrived before it was too late. The Columbia is higher than it has been for years, and is still rising. The railroad track is washed away in a num ber of places. Trains have -not been running for two days, and probably can not run for a week yet. The extent of the washouts is not fully known as most of the wires are down. A large and enthusiastic concourse as sembled at Armory hall Monday even ing, where they listened for two hours to an able and eloquent address by Hon. T. T. Geer who spoke on the political issues of the day. Mr. Geer is an ex cellent speaker, presenting his ideas in a clear and forcible manner. He liter ally handled the populists "without gloves." Gov. Pen n oyer was in town Tuesday. He was on his way to The Dalies where he was billed to speak in the evening. He did not succeed in obtaining a con veyance to the Dalles, and after consid erable nrging consented to deliver an address here. Quite a large crowd as sembled to listen to him. He is a pleasant speaker. Joe Waldrop, pop ulist candidate for congress, was present at the meeting and spoke a short time. I Lone Rock Riplets. Doc Brown, one of Condon's big sheep ow ners, has been here looking after bis sheep interests in this valley for several days. , Tom Quade has been here for several days collecting up the 2000 head of one- year-old wethers that he bought in this vicinity. Stock Inspector Miller has finished his spring ride and reports the county comparatively free from stock diseases of any kind. Dr.. John Joseph Hogan of Condon was in our villiage several days this week shaking hands with his friends with as much vigor as if he were a can didate. - Next Monday is election day and from all accounts Lone Rock will make itself known then. , Everything is politics just now, consequently there is no news of any Importance. Bob Robinson of Condon called on his old friends last weak. He says there is uo place like Condon when' it conies to business, and is well pleased with that thrifty little city. Two six-horse loads of Fossil flour was brought to Lone Rock last week and left at Ham's store. It was something that was very much needed here, and our people can now have bread three times a day. Sheep shearing is well along and every one reports a good clip this season. The heavy rains washed the sheep as clean as could be done by hand, and we should get the top price for the wool this season. What is the matter with the Lone Rock and Condon people getting together on the 4th of July and having a good social time here in the mountains? It would be quite a treat to us and I am sure it would be for the Condon folks also. Let us hear from some one on the subject. There are some fine places for a picnic in the foot hills. Jno. Doe. The Columbia on a Tear. The Columbia river is higher than it has lieen since '62 The water has washed out miles of railroad between Umatilla and Portland, and it will be at least two or three weeks before it can be repaired so that trains can run again. Nearly a mile of road is washed away just above Arlington, and the town of Grant is entirely submerged, all its citi-seps-being obliged to desert their homes. At Quinns the water is four feet deep on the track and is up to 3d street in The Dalles. All the streams in the country are higher than they have been for many years, the Willamette doing its share of damage along with the rest. Skiffs have been used on Front and First streets in Portland the last week. No mail hasj been received here since Monday, but j we understand a steamer has been ! brought down from Snake river, which will meet the Portland steamers at Celilo, and the mail, express and freight will be transported by boat until trains can run again. The damage by the Columbia will run into millions of dol lars. Card of Thanks. The populists of Gilliam county here by desire to heartily thank the republi cans of Condon for the kindness and courtesy shown thorn at the republican speaking at Condon Saturday, by invit ing joint discussion.
