THE GOriDQH CLOSE,

THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY. OREGON.
tmm
The Heppner papers Gaette mid
Timet), have just ended lively contest
before the Morrow coonty court for of
ficial honors, which has finally been de
cided in favor of the Gatette, whose
worn list of subscribers in the county
was at little the largest. The official pa
per in that county is a plain worth look
ing after, as it is given all of the county
printing at regular legal rates, which
amounts to perhaps ten times the prices
paid in Gilliam county for such work.
Judge Bartholomew of Morrow county,
one of the ablest judges in the state, in
conversation with the writer recently,
said he cannot see how any intelligent
man can construe the state law any other
way than that the official paper, which
reaches the largest number of readers,
is entitled to all the county printing, and
at legal rates as the members of the
legislature, who agreed upon a legal rate
for advertising, knew what tbey were
doing, and that he has no desire to
change the state laws. It is different in
this county, where the state laws, gov
erning such matters, are ignored and
the county printing let to the lowest
bidder, whether the paper receiving it
has any circulation in the county or not.
The populists of the state are having
a "'hot time" over their leaders, Young
and U'Ren. These men are accused by
numerous republican papers of having
sold out to Simon, Bourne, et al, down
at Salem last winter, and now cor
respondence pertaining to that subject
and giving the whole thing away, has
been brought to light and proves that
what these papers had to say was correct.
Any amount of "white-wash" will not
avail to cover op the treachery of these
men to their party. They should be
dropped like hot bricks. Heppner Ga
zette. The Globe cannot afford to descend from
ita high standard of journalism to jangle
with scrub soreheads whether jealous
con tern poraries or individuals. Our read
ers prefer the live, local county news in
preference to such slum rot, and that is
why our list contains the names of all
the best element of people in the county.
And tbey are all bona fide subscribers,
too ; the paper is not obliged to force
itself onto people who never ordered it,
in order to keep np a list.
There is nothing sure but death and
taxes, and even death may be a little
uncertain, as is illustrated by the case
of an Idaho stockraiser, who lived about
100 miles from Shoshone, the nearest
place where he could get a coffin. His
wife was sick, so near onto death that it
was thought certain that she could uot
live, so he sent for the coffin. When it
arrived, however, the woman was np and
attending to her household duties.
The rich class constitute 9 per cent of
the population. The middle class con
stitute 39 per cent of the population.
The poor class constitute 52 per cent of
the population. The rich class own 71
per ceut of the wealth. The middle class
own 26 per cent of the wealth of the
country, and the poor class own but 3
per cent of the wealth. These facts are
gathered from the United States census.
Miss Ella Jones, who was for three
years a writer for and compositor on the
Cottage Grove Leader, and later on the
Kiddle Enterprise and Myrtle Point pa
per, now has control of the North Doug
las Watchman. We wish this enterpris
ing young lady unbounded success.
Boseburg Review. The Journal man
mast have only imagined that Benton
Mires had control of the "Watchman."
The tax levy in Linn county this year
2 mills for all purposes. This is
said to be the lowest levy of any county
in Oregon. The levy is made up as fol
lows: State, 3J mills; county, 3 29-30;
indigent soldiers, 1-30 ; county schools, 5.
The total levy of Marion and Washing
ton counties is 15 mills, 3 mills less than
last year.
Pendleton Herald: About every so
often an escaped lunatic gets together
enough cash to start a republican paper
in opposition to the Portland Oregonian,
and for three months imagines be has
the Oregonian groggy. Trying to run a
Portland republican paper in opposition
to the Oregonian is like trying to freeze
ice in hades.

New Butcher Shop.
I have opened a meat market in
Condon, in the corner building just south
of the furniture store, and respectfully
ask for a share of the public patronage.
I am an old experienced butcher and
know how to treat you right. Fresh
meats, salmon, oysters, bologna sausage,
etc. always on hand for sale. Buy some.

NON-ALCOHOLIC.
No man who lives on meat was ever
known to lick his wife, or ask for a
divorce. A vegetable diet woman is as
cold and clammy as a turnip. If you
want your girl to have rosy cheeks and
vitality in her motion, feed her on beef
steak with occasional doses of Dr. Haw-
son's Tonic Bitters. Sold everywhere.
The Wasco Warehouse Co. has wool
sacks, fleece twine and sack twine for

To The Public.
I have taken charge of the old Dod
son livery stables in Arlington and hope
my friends from everywberewill remem
ber me when they come to town. My
rates are very moderate and the very
best care is taken of stock left in my care.
Give me a chance. J. F. Thomas.

Good Advice.
Don't let whisky get the best of yon,
but if you want the best of whisky,
wines, beer, liquors and cigars, the place
to find them is at theSnmmit Saloon,
in the old drag store bnilding. A fine
pool and billiard parlor in connection.
Drop in and see for yourselves. The
finest line of "wet goods" in the city.
Seed Potatoes for Sale.
I have at my ranch near Clem two rarietiea of
fine potatoes one purple, with white aromid the
eyes that I imported, and is called the "Centen
nial;" tbe other I originated here and have
named it "The Gold Standard," becaase I don't
think it will depreciate in value as a wholesome
food. Both kind are snow-white inside and of
a most delicious flavor. They are easily grown
without cultivation, and the yield is very large.
Tbey grow to enormous size, many of them 5
and 6 pounds apiece. I can spare a few of these
potatoes for seed at 2c per 100-lb lots, or 2'.,c for
smaller lots, at my ranch. Those wanting any
of them most order soon, as tbe supply is limited.
