We learn that Frank Bclliard, who moved to New York luat summer with his wife, intends to -return to his Ferry Canyon ranch again thit spring. City life dovt not seem to agree with him. Anv business man whoalrnggles along , without advertising aayt plainly to the public that he doc not want their cus tomand ho seldom ever gets it, either, No danger of getting bilked by dealing i ' w ith the business men who advertise in the Globs. Charley rinkham and family of Pine creek visited their relative at Condon the laat week, Sheriff Wilcox and family. One o( the l'ln It hi m children, 8 months old, it dangerously tick with bronchial pneumenia. Mr. and Mrs. U. J. Caven came over today from Pine creek to help wait on the child. At a school nieeting laat Friday it was decided by a vote of 74 agina,t 68 to not levy a tax. It I a deplorable fact, es pecially at thit aeaaon of the year, that we cannot have a school. Then, attain, taxet have become 10 eronormous in Marahfield that property holder have to unite for economy or give their prop erty a ay and leave town. Marshfleld Sua. In our rush to get to press last week a mistake wa made in giving the name of the new ollleers of the I. 0. O. F. lodge of this place. II. B. Hendricks' name should have appeared a secre tary, Instead of that of P. H. Stephen-' on. Some people might think that printer are proof against making mis takes, but right here ia a good place to add that they are not. The following appear In The Dulles Times-Mountaineer of Saturday, nnder the headingofLandTrunafers." "Nel lie E. Uarnnrd and husband to F. Mo Beth, parcel of land in Antelope, $1,150." "W. li. Silvertootb, guardian, to W. E. Barnard, parcel of land in town of An telono. 005" "llatlie and Arthur Cof fin to Emma Thompson, lot 6, block 25, Bigelow addition to Dalles city, 1.!' A dispatch from Washington saya: Senator McBrlde ha reported favorably from the committee on public lands, Senator Mitchell's bill, extending the time for payment by settlers on forfeit. ed lands.. It is expected that the bill aii nuns both houses at this session. It will be sinned because the interior de r nartment hna recommended it, and lias ; anspanrlod entrle on the lands pending I the passage. An exchange remarks : It was record ed that Noah was the first advertiser. lie advertised the flood and it came through all right. The fellow who laughed at his advertisement drowned. Ever since Noah' time the advertiser has been prosperous while the other fellow had been struggling to keep hi head above the Hood of disaster. The attorney for B. Glede, defendant In the Strickland-Glede sheep trespass caae, have succeeded in carrying the case to the state supreme court and the case will come to an end al Pendleton at the May seaaion of court next spring. The witnesses and Juror no doubt think their fee are a long time coming, hut in case of thl kind there appear to be no other alternative but to wait until the suit I ended. A rer advertleement. Ed Smith of The Dalle organised a dancing school atCondonlaat Saturday evening. Un til further notice he will teach the ladies every Saturday afternoon In the hall from 4 to 6 o'clock and in the evening all who deaire to attend the achool gen tlemen and ladies are Invited to atvqd This is an excellent chance to learn to dance and goodness knowt some of them need it. . - A number of the cltlaen of thl dis trict met Saturday and voted a 6- mi II tax and also mill to pay the inter eat due on bonds, making a total of 734 mills. This tax will bring in about $U0, a the taxable property in the district amount to about $80,000. A there it considerable Indebtedness Incurred, we believe it would have been better to vote a 10-mill tax while they were at it, but it is too late now. A private letter from Hon. J. E David at Salem concludes thus: "The hold-up still continues, with no pros pect of any change. I am torry for the taxpayers, for I thought I would be able to so on record a voting for reduction of expenses, which meant to ourcitixent equally at much a to elect a senator. While it i one of the highest duties of the legislature to elect a senator, it is equally of a much importance to have an economical administration of state affairs, and neither can be done if mem bers-elect refuse to qualify and proceed to business." Believing that it would not be to the beat interests of thit county to annex any portion of Grant county to Gilliam several parties last week circulated remonstrance against annexation and in a couple of day received the signatures of a majority of the taxpayers and legal voters of thl county, and this without going over much more than one-half of the county. It is firmly believed that fully nine-tenths, if not more, of the taxpayers of this county are opposed to annexing anv more territory. Theconn ty is just the right size the way it is Sherifl Wilcox took the remonstrance to Salem the first of the week. Reform in the school laws is urgently needed and is being demanded by every one connected with the public schools, Most strongly urged is a change in con nection with teacher' certificates and of this there Is greatest need. As the law is, an inexperienced candidate need only I reach the rediculously low average of 60 per cent, and manv fall to 40 in some branches, and still' I licensed to teach. Even the dullest pupil, coming fresh from his books cannot 'Help passing. Having nothing to recommend him he oilers to work at any price in order to get a start and some small district which desires to have as much school aa possi ble rinplova him in the belief that hie 'Certificate ia evidence Tf hi ability to teach. This county now ha teachers receiving f 12 and il6 a month hardly enough to pay lioard. The experiment mav be a success, but it rarely is, and in three months a poor teacher does more harm than a enod teacher can cor rect in a year. In fact, wrong teaching can never le entirely corrected and will continue to hamper the pnpu tnrougn ottt his lifetime. Better no teacher than a poor one. Forest Grove Hatchet. Arlington Items. 8. O.

Several boys of the Gun club went op to Castle Rock last Saturday ou a rabbit hunt and bagned about 150 and bad great sport. A J San lord ol 1 ne uaiiee accompanied them. Mr. Morrison, who brought down a raft of logs from up the river laat week, reports it rather cold work standing on raft all day witn tne inermeier humiu around tbe zero mark. Tbe ferry boat wa taken into winter quarter last week on account oi me cold spell, but has been put into service again. There was a great deal of Ice running for several day. The school entertainment, advertised to come off this week, has been postpon ed until Feb. 13th on account ol un avoidable circn instances. The proceed are to be used toward buying a library for the school. Mrs. Jayne and friend gave Mr. Jayne a surprise party last Friday even ing in honor ot his birthday. I here were about 40 present, who enjoyed the evening in a game of drive whist, after which a fine lunch was served. Ed Smith and wife returned last week from a two months' visit with hi par ent in Southern California. Ld ay there is quite a contrast between there and here, especially at this time of year. They have all kinds of ripe fruit and berries down there now. Friday night the Woodmen of the World will give an entertainment at tbe A O U W hall. A good speaker will be present and a fine program will be ren dered. Music hy the Arion club. o admittance will be charged. During the cold spell, by some book or crook, water got into one ot the cylinder. It caused the company to boy a new pump, which was put in the first of the week. It looked like old times to see men hauling water about town in barrels toaupply thecity. They are very heavy pumps, a they have to raise the water over 2U0 feet to tbe res ervoir. Laat Monday evening the K of P lodge of thi place gave a fine sopper, to which their wives and friends were invited to attend. After the routine work of the order was gone through with, the even ing was spent in playing whist and other pastime gauiea nntil time for lunch, when all quit, to partake of the many good things that they (the wives) had nreDsred for the occaeion. By unanimous vote the evening entertain ment was declared a grand success. Alder Grove Officers. Owing to the absence of the installing officer, Mrs. F B Stevens, the semi-annual installation of officers of Alder Grove No. 24, was deferred and a special meeting was called for Jan. 28th, when the following officers were dnlv Installed: Worthy Guardian, Mrs. J H Hudson; Adviser, Mrs. II N Eraser; Great Magi cian, L W Darling; Attendant, Mrs. H O Strickland; Inner Sentinel, MisParl Fitzwater; Outer Sentinel, Mis Carrie Danneman; Banker, Mr. H.

The weather is the most changeable ever expcr'(m''ed in this locality. It will rain awhile, then a dense frost fog, j then a little snow; but principally fine warm weather like spring time. Dud Flynn came over from lleppner Monday, where he had been receiving medical treatment, on account of being pawed by a horse on the side of his head a few days since. Dud' head Is badly swollen vet and had a big hole in his jaw. A gentloman by the name of Nuckola with his wife and little girl arrived in our burg last week. John Bowlen gave them employment for the remainder of the winter in hia restaurant. We are pleased to note that there ia quite a cIibiibo in the code of morrals about this establishment since their coming. Dr. Howard was over to attend the youngest child of J 11 Bennett the first of the week, and pronounced It a case of scarlet fever. Everybody felt pretty acary for a few days, but every precau tion possible is being taken to keep the disonse from spreading. Quite a num ber of persons are ailing with sure throat, which ia quite severe. A petition is being generally signed here asking the county court to change tho road districts back the way they were and allow a supervisor for each district, so na to have the work done on the roads when moat needed. There is no great objection to paying their money, hut thev want some one in their own district to expend it at tbe proper time ; Twickenham Twitchets. Feb. 1st. i Stock of all kinds are doing nicely and areas fat as butter. , Grain and fruit prospects are also moat flattering. The climate on the river is the finest in the world just like summer all the year round. This is troly a paradise when it comes to climate. We do not know" of a taxpayer in Southern Gilliam who favors the change our county court has just made in the road districts. What in thunder has got over our county court? It is next to impossible for the taxpayers to pay their countv. school and state taxes, without saddling such unnecessary burdens onto them as this road tax and coyote bounty tax. For goodness' sake, let n work out all the taxes we can; we are all stout and don't care how hard the work is. There is general dissatisfaction about this matter all over the county. If the taxes must be increased and cash paid, the people over here prefer letting j it go towards building a court house at Condon. . We regret that the remonstrance against the annexation of a portion of Grant county to Gilliam was not circu- lated in the south end of Gilliam coun ty, a every voter and taxpayer, with few exceptions, south of Fossil, onld gladly have signed it. The people over here are unanimous against the annexa tion of any more territory tothiscounty. Grant county is almost bankrupt' by the criminal element in the very section of country that wants to be annexed to this, and the same fate await Gilliam if it is taken In. The fow people in this county who favor annexation can not conceal the real object; it ia so trans parent that any child can see through it. The same "sneak" was attempted two yeara ago but failed, and we hope it will meet the same fate this time. J. H. P. For Sale or Trade. D. A.
