Winona, w ho has been resid ing in Ferry Canyon the last two years, has moved with his family to the valley, starting Monday last, going via The Dalles and Portland. Mont Ward has as neat a little home south of town as can be found any where. Ills line new bam, just coin !!nted, is a model for convenience, with a large hogpen under the floor. There is a town in Washington state named Puyallup. This Is undoubtedly a mistake. It must mean "Payaliup" and is one of those places where there are no delinquent subscribers to news pars.

Two Pendleton attorneys have drafted a bill for the neat legislature, providing that no attorney fee provision shall ap pear on a promissory note or contract, nd invalidating any paper containing euch provisions. Shed Grider and A' Moyer are at work this week flooring and ceiling the 2 1 story of the Armory hall a much needed improvement. : The hall needs a cout of paint badly. It will soon be ruined without it. A merchant in a valley town has pur chased 100 copies of his local paper for a year, to be used as a premium to pur chasers of goods. It is a good advertis ing scheme for the merchant and helps the local paper also. A company of distinguished Spaniards visiting New York could not be enter tained by a bull fight, hut they were taken to a football match, which is much more brutal, and were delighted. It I I led the bill exactly. Mrs. D. 8. Hall and little son returned lioine last week from Los Angeles, Cal., where she hud !een visiting her old home two months. Her husband met her at Arlington and they stopped in Condon Saturday night. Dr. liogan returned home Tuesday evening from Lone Rock, where he had. been in attendance upon A. W. Moore for several days. The young man is resting easy at present and unless somo tinforseen complication arises he ought to recover. A true bill was returned fatnrday by ' the federal grand jury at Portland against Ernest Waterman, assistant post master at Caleb, Or., for taking posses sion of a letter directed to Oakes & Wil son, at Mitchell, Or., in which was en closed 450.

B. Barker has just received a choice stock of dry goods, clothing' ami every thing usually kept in a well-managed merchandise store. His prices are rea sonable and he is deserving of a large patronage. The New York World finds that in the ten states in which official election re turns have been received the democratic vote decreased 5r4,000, w hile the repub-j lican vote in the sump states in IHW) fell olTSM.OCO, a difference of 40,000 In favor of the democrats. Jas. Bui pes of The. Dalles was np a few days ago to his farm on Matney Flat, which Johnny (irons has rented. Mr. Snipes brought with him, to keep on the place, a 700 lb Shorthorn bull, 7 months old as fine an animal as was ever seen in this country, Lee llenkle has again demonstrated that buckwheat can bo succeitsfuHy grown in Denton county, lie raised a limited quantity on bis farm near Philo math, and it makes cakes better than the. imported article. Why not try the experiment in this section ? There was an out-and-out cork fight at Fix's livery stable yesterday.

The Japanese are fewer in mini lsr than the Chinese but their country ix as badly overcrowded and Mages are as cheap as in China. The Pacific coast has had enough cxteriem:e with the curse of Asiatic emigration. School Supt. Stevenson this week butchered two eight-months-old pigs which dressed 2' 5 and 240 pounds re spectively. Who can beat them? Eugene Guard. (Hand over the belt. Geo. W. Rinehurt of Condon last week butchered two pigs, same age, which dressed 274 and 250 pounds respectively.) Some time ago a New York parr pul lished a receipt for getting rid of the snoring habit. It was merely to sleep with the mouth closed. A Condon Irishman, when he read this said: "That is right, I've tried itmeself; I broke meself of thesnorin' habit; when iver I found meself aslape with me mouth oen, I got up and shut it." According to the official directory pub lished in the Fossil paper, Gilliam coun ty hasn't any coroner. It advertises J. G. Stevenson as J. P. of Matney pre cinct, which is a mistake, as Matney has not had any J. P. for several years. Neither has had Rowe creek. It also overlooks the fact that Val Wheeler is now surveyor and that Mr. Wilkinson White is J. P. of Trailfork precinct. There seems to be quite a spirit of dis satisfaction about the Benton countv court allowing (o0 per month for extra county clerk hire. They argue that the clerk's salary of $1S0U per year is quite sullleient to pny a deputy, if one is need ed, which, if at all, is not over a couple of months in each yenr. The cierk would then have a very nice salary left, with what he makes out of his private land and notary busiucss.etc Corvallis Times. Tire United states grand jury at Port land failed to find a bill agaimtt Gihons, Savage or Klein for robbing the post office at The Dulles, which was rohlied about three months prior to the robliery of the express office. There was no tes- tiniony except that of Klein, ami that j the m,ty settled up is for each one to unsupported would not be sufficient to j 0 towards encouraging immi convict. Besides the testimony eomingL,.,,.;,,., amj new-comers. Nearly every Ironi a person already convicted oi a crime had but littlo weight. We were misinformed concerning the death near Mayville last week. The de ceased, Irene Lewellen, was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. 8. E. Lewellen, and was aged 15 years and 8 months. Our informant last week reported that she was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Lillie. Doubtless the reason for the mistake is that the funeral took place from the home of her aunt, Mrs. C. L. Lillie, the burial taking dace Friday. Charley Slater was in town Monday subscribing for the Gi.oiik. . He inform ed us that Friday night, Dee. 28th, he will give a ball at his hall in Lost Valley, which promises to be a lively affair. An Interesting feature of the occasion will be the marriage, by Justice White, of Win. I). Johnson of Lost Valley and Miss Edith Waddle of upper Thirtymilo, which will be performed in the ball. Tickets to the dance, including supper and horsefeed, $1.50. The Seattle Telegraph, after sinkitnr a lavge amount of money, has sold to the competing morning paper. The Held was not largo enough for two papers to be run at a proHt. The newspaper Held in Oregon is overcrowded. It appears that the public will tolerate, and at least feed any man who can get hold of a hat- fill of type and issue what by courtesy is termed a newspaper, although news, es- pwialjy f'l Ills locality, Is about the last i thing thought about. Eugene (.iuard. The Globb has been shut out of Tor key, We have iweu notified of the seiz ure at the frontier of foreign newspapers containing accounts of the Armenian massacres. This attitude of the Turkish government is supposed to lie doe to the position assumed by the American press on the Armenian question. 8. C. Beach of Portland is sending clr cnlars to all the newspapers of the state, requesting them to recommend a certain voting machine he is Interested in. No body should pay any attention to the scheme. The Australian ballot systc m Is good enough for all honest voters. Read our leading editorial and see what I the S. F. Examiner has to say about it. i ,, .. i.i if even the number of people at- ... i ,, . , , I. t tend the ball here Tuesday night who I have been invited, and who say they I are coming, it will be the largest ball ever given in this county. There is no doubt that it will be the grandest event of the kind ever given in the county. Music will be furnished by 8. P. Shutt, lead violin; Hob Robinson, 2d violin, ami O. J. Kenaston, organist. Jesse Nye, the good-natured old "P.ach"of Clem was in town Wednesday j renewing his sub. to the Gume and; looking after other business. Jesse's wheat tins year averogeil atiout .ii riun els to the acre and the warehousemen at Arlington pronounced his 1100 bushels: the best wheat sold there this year. Jessu is in the market for matrimony, and would get married if some lady would help him. j A social dance was given Friday night at the home of Geo. Hansen, seven miles west of town, which was attended by a nuiiiter of onr young people. There was a dance given at Charley White's place on Trailfork the same night. Hertert Stephenson attended ami says they had doodles of fun also that Henry Hawk and Emmett Johnson iudoltted in a very warm debate for awhile just to make things lively. The following item appears in the Prineville paper, oigned "Taxpayers": "Upon what grounds does the county court huso its opinion that a deputy sheriff and deputy clerk are needed for Crook county? The county court has appointed deputies for the sheriff and clerk nt a salary of If'iO per month, and as taxpayers we would like to know why the outlay of our money. They are needed about as much as a wagon needs five wheels." It is quite true that there are a great many more women than there are men, but still that need not make young sin gle women dispair of being married. The reason that women are more numer ous than men is that they live to a great er age, and there are far more old wo men than there are old men. Between the ages of 15 and 45 women are less numerous than men, and the bachelors outnumber the spinsters in the United States by about 13,000. Gilliam Needs More People, New Blood, New Energy.

Every enterprising citizen of the coun ty is interested in the advancement and Upbuilding of the county. Every in telligent citizen knows that we need more settlers, and the only way to net 8 ! .nn In ll.lu eniml.e k miwa of one or more vacant claims in his section. Let each one write to Mr. Barry, and all other persons in the same business of locating that they know of, and see if the popu lation of the county can not be doubled within the next year or two. It has been at a stand-still or retrograding long enough too long for its own good or for the good of the people already here. Wake up, and let's keep np with the procession of thrift and enterprise.

Geo. W. Crawford is a particular friend of ours and we wish him success. But we think he might have patronized our home paper with his ad; besides our girls would have seen it much soon er. Stay with it Ireorge; you'll come out on top yet. I got D. C. Andrews and our black smith, Mr. Sprowles, to goand kill those deer I spoke about last week. They only killed four in two days hunting and we concluded that we could dispose of them here; so I will not want that batcher shop in Conlon. Rev. Bramblet created quite a sensa tion last Sunday evening at the Christ mas tree meeting when he gave his reason that he could not be here on that day. He said he was going to visit an old friend on Christmas and marry his daughter in the evening. (But the sup position is that he will just tie the knot that will make two hearts beat as one.) A. W. Moore is improving aa fast as could be expected from the effect of the operation performed on him for appendicitis, but he will not be out for some time yet. On account of Mr. Moore not being able to take charge of the school for some time he has request-: ed the directors to get a teacher to fin ish the term of school which I heleive to be about three months.
