Till section of Gilliam county has made marked progress during the year that I about to close, and the Improve ment made are all of a most inbutantlal character. In the town proper the fol lowing now building have been erected : Congregational parsonage, neat cot tage; Mrs. Rice, rovldtmce; J, R. Clark, residence; II. G. Jordan, meat market; J. F. Risacher, residence; Masonic Lodge, large two story business build ing, containing two store room on the ground floor and lodge room alwve. Bedde these a large number of build ing have received additions, repair and other aubstantlal Improvement, there being few in the town but have received some attention either on the Interior or exterior. In addition to all these and by far the moat Important Im provement of the year I the city waU-r work, now In courts of construction nd which will b completed early In the new year. Taken In the aggregate,, the Improvements In Condon during the year, including the water work, repre sents an outlay of almost $10,000. Gui de of town and in the Immediate vi cinity of Condon the same aubetanllal Improvement It notlcable, the following persont having erected elegant and sub stantial residences: Mr. Maley and W. B. Smith, of Ferry Canyon; 11.8. Tobey, of Hay creek'; Mr. Mary Brown, of Rock creek, and Alex Hardle and Frank Bpringaton, of Trail Fork. Ik-tides these there have been a large number of smaller resi dence, addition, repair, etc. Thete Improvement are evidence of prosperity among our people, and, when we take Into account the bountiful crop of the past season snd the still larger acreage being prepared for tha com ing one, we, as a people, have no ca:ie to complain of what the year 1808 hat brought n. Settled by Arbitration. A. Hartman, I). B. Trimble and 8. Slater sat as a court of arbitration for sevsral days latt week, to eeltle eome dlfferencee In account, contracts, etc., between J. C. Cooney and Mrs. Hannah Billing. It appears that Mrs. Billings had contracted to sell Mr. Cooney the Billing ranch, but some time ago sold It to W. 8. Myers. The matter wa settled by allowing Mr. Myers to keep the ranch, and all other accounts, etc., were tquared op and payed. All dif ference were settled, finally, aa the Interested partiee had each signed an agreement to abide by the decision of the arbitrator. This I a more sensible and much cheaper way to settle disputes than to carry them into the courts, as by the time costa, fees, etc., are paid the winner I generally loser. The Grim Reaper.

The residence of Frank Moore, about two mile northwest of town, burned to the ground Tuesday afternoon. The fire originated from a defective etove pipe. Mr. Moore and hi brother had left home that morning for a few days' bunt on the John Day river, leaving no one but the women and children at home, When the fire wa discovered it had too great a start for them to do anything toward extinguishing It, and they turned their attention to the contents and succeeded in saving moot of them. The house whs new, having been com pleted but a few week. There was no insurance, and the loss will fail heavily on Mr. Moore., A subscription paper wa circulated in town yesterday morning and inlets than 80 minute over $100 wa raised by our generous citizens to assist Mr. Moore In rebuilding hi borne. Donation of money, lumber or labor will be accept able, a it it the intention to rebuild the house at once. Further donationt may be loft with Earhart 4 Moore at the Summit saloon, with Rev.
