THE GOiiDOII GLOBE. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22. 1897. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OP GILLIAM COUNTY. OREGON. , Lone Rock Rumblings. Our day school seems to be progress in nicely under the management of PrufStratton. Next Sunday and Monday is the time of the quarterly meeting of the M. E. church at this burg. P L Ham and R M Johnson returned from Portland Sunday, where they had beeu attending the Urand Lodge K of P. R O Robinson has bought several head of Hereford calves from D H Smith, of Thirtymile, at $25 per head. Pretty live ly price for heifer calves. 8 B Barker was np in this vicinity lately looking after sheep range. We understand he has bought some land here with a view of establishing sheep camp. Nat Webb is on trade with a sheep buyer by the name of Wright, for a band of old ewes at $2 per head. The same sheep this time last year would not have brought (1 per head. PL Ham has "taken a tumble" to business at last, and has his store chuck full of Al goods at reasonable prices. He is doing a big business. Verily, Lone Rock is liable to "boil and run over" jet. The farmers of this locality are quite busy putting in their fall crops. An drew Keel and Jeff Hayes have just pur chased one of Clark's Right-Lap Plow aud Seeder combined, for which they paid f 75. They say it does fine work. Jerry Vickers got in from the Green horn country the first of the week with Hayes Bros sheep. Jerry says all the boys were glad to get out of the moun tains this fall, as feed was pretty scarce. Besides, the ranchers oat there are in the habit of using sheepherders for marks to try their guns on, instead of patting spots up on the trees, as used to be the custom. Beecher Flat Notes. Cool weather once more. J M Carl has commenced hauling his wheat to Arlington. He has to haul two and three parts of loads to the stage road and there reload all onto one wagon The roads are bad and have not been worked this year. B K Searcy & Co. have finished thresh ing grain on Beecher for this season, the wheat averaging 25 bushels to the acre, Mr Searcy plowed 40 acres, sowed the same, cat 60 tons of hay, and threshed 3,489 bushels of as fine grain as at man wants to look at. He sowed a small patch of the new kind of oats, called the "dry weather" oats. He cut and thresh rd 548 bushels of it. It makes the Beech- erflaters look down their noses to think of the heavy taxes they have to pay and 25,000 bushels of grain to haul off and no roads to get oat on, without having to travel from 15 to 20 miles before they can start to Arlington. There has not been one lick of work done on our roads since the new road system went into ef fect. Beecher (latere say "look oat Mr Coanty Coart, or there will be a break in the republican line tbat will surprise thejiatives, and don't forget it." It is high time the roads were pat in repair, Little did we think when we read the prophetic warning from different parts of the coanty, published in the Globe, that the work would all be done, from Fossil to Arlington only, and around their vicinity. Bat alas, how true. We, the taxpayers, will pat you on the back, County Court, for your kind forethought of as bat it will be when yoastepdown and out. The taxpayers are "laying for you." When a man holds an office of that kind too long there is danger of his getting the big-head to such an ex tent as to imagine he owns the earth and tbat nobody has any rights bat him self. . - Taxpaybb. Olex Explosions. Edgar Randall is now superintending the Randall ranch at Olex. yme a namner or new pupils are starting to school at Olex this week. Rev Barnbart failed to arrive at Olex last Sunday, as per bis appointment. Warren French has rented the old Mat Ward ranch and will embark in the wheat growing venture. Jess McKinny thinks of setting ten acres of his ranch in bops, which seem to do well on Rock creek. Fall sowing has commenced in dead earnest, and this coming year will see more wheat in the ground than ever before. Let the good work go on. A fellow arrived in Olex horseback featurday night, got bis horse fed and supper for himself and then skipped ont without paying his bill. The "pen" is full of such animals. Miss Maud Smith, who went from Olex to go to school in the Valley, writes that she prefers to return and go to school at Olex, as she is tired of that rainy country, where it rains 32 days in each month. Rev Matheney preached at Nott school house laot Sunday to a large congrega tion. He is from Portland and belongs to Christ's church, no denomination bat all serving one God ought to all worship foffther. Thin U a eood creed. The Place Where You Get the Most Change Back. Of course when you are buying har ness and saddles you want the best. 1 keep in stork only the very best ma terial, and while maintaining my repu tation in this respect, I go to the other extreme in keeping prices down to the lowest point. I know that nothing builds up business like the selling ot first-class goods. I sell them, and don't sell anything else. When you need any thing iu my line, give me a call, and like the fable of the cat, "you'll come back again." T. L. Fortwood, Condon. Are Schilling's Best ta baking powder cofft flavoring extracts soda , and ipkea as good as we say? Don't you see they are money -back? Fotuleby S. B. Barker Good Advice.
