The recent treaty with Japan may
cause this country much trouble in the
future. The Japanese are fewer in mini

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.

En. Gi.ortK, Condon, Oregon:
I am in search of good agricultural
lands that are subject to homestead

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

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.

I got D. C. Andrews and our black
smith, Mr. Sprowles, to goand kill those

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
