Observe Memorial Day.
Editor Globe:
. Tha suggestion made editorially in
Your last issue regarding a fitting obeer
vance of Memorial day should touch a
responsive chord In the heart of every
loyal cltlsen of Condon ami vicinity.
We can offer to the world no valid rea
son for not observing the day set apart
to pay tribute to departed ones. Conm,
let os serlonaly coiiidr the matter, all
work in unison and make the day one
pathos and patriotism. There are a
number of shakers in town, any of
whose service could be obtained to de
liver tha address and the Sunday school
could prepare a joint program suilabla
to tha occasion.
We are proud of our city, our county,
and our slat and we can add to the
loyalty ol all three Iu no better way
than paying homage to the memorv of
those who have preceded us to the great
beyond. Let us act, art, in the lit ng
present. Yours truly,
AF. W.
Sunday's Ball Came.
The Fossil ball team crossed bat with
tha home team on the Condon diamond
last Sunday and for 6 Innlngt things
were doing. Fossil went first to the bat
and the three scores they tMllied in the
first looked big to them until Condon
took a whack at the sphere and piled np
twice as many. Tha second inning was
tame, Condon making a score and Fossil
tha same and tha third was blank. In
tha fourth Fossil picked up an easy
mark and In the fifth she fell down.
Condon came to the bat with lowering
clouds and rumbling thunder as an ac
companiment and succeeded in count
ing three good scares before the rain won
out. Following is the lineup:

Score, Condon 10,
MissTellaiy, who has just finished a
succesatul term of school In the Arm
strong district, Ferry Canyon, left Sat
urday morning for Uoldeudale, Wash
ington, where she will visit for awhile
with her uncle, ft. S. Thomas, lie fore re
turning to her home In Iowa.
Mrs.' Mary lleaddy, wife of James
lleaddy, of Beecher Flat, died at tha
Summit hotel, in thic city, Friday even
ing, Mav 6th. Deceased was a daughter
of Sam Grant, of Wheeler county, and
was well known in that section. She
was only 20 tears old and had been
married less then a year. The remains
were taken to Fossil Saturday morning
for interment.
A. 8. Ilollen has secured a lease on
the Condon Milling Co's plant and will
put tlie plant In operation as soon as
fuel can lie secured and a few neceasnrr
repairs lie made. Mr. Smith, the head
miller In charge for the past vear will
continue iu that capacity and the new
management expects to nierate the
plant to its full capacity. .The town is
to be congratulated that thia important
Industry is to continue to operate.
A fine son was born to Dr. and Mrs
J. F. Wood last Friday evening since
when the doctor's night calls have in
creased to such an extent as to seriously
interfere with his usual rest. In addit
ion to his professional duties he Is also
practicing the latest step in tha mid
night cakewalk a la pajama, while
searching for the festive tack with his
nnsllppered feet. Doc. is game tho
and swears the new son and heir ia the
finest ever.
We notice by the Condon papers that
Mrs. R H. Wain has sold her interest
in the Condon hotel. Mrs. Wain is one
of the best natured landladies in Ore
gon, whose ambition was to make her
guests feel at home. After a hard stage
ride over a rough and dusty road many
a traveler has lost his nerve, but .oon
regained It when once her pleasant smile
was focused upon him. May success
follow her in her future undertakings.
Cline Falls Press.
The many Gilliam county friends of
Hon. George J. Cameron, of Portland.
II congratulate that gentleman on the
splendid vote he received at the pri
mary lHst Saturday when he was given
the republican nomination for munici
pal judge of that city. Mr. Cameron is
well known here having on two different
occasions been the principal speaker at
the annual meeting of the Caledonian
club.He hns served his city in the same
office before and It is safe to predict that
the big vote he received Saturday is but
an earnest of what will be given him at
the regular election.

investment. There is good money in
Gilliam county real estate.
A congratulatory letter has been indited
by friends of Judge Cameron in this city
relative to his recent nomination for
municipal Judge of Portland. Coupled
with the congratulations is an earnest
plea that the mercy of the conrt be ex
tended to all signers of the epistle if
they should chance to be haled before
hi -court during his term of office.
Buuchgrassers do well to take some
such precautionary measure before
trusting themselves to the snares and
pitfalls of city life during the Fair.
A Creeping Death.
Blood poison creeps op towards the
heart, causing death. J. E, Stearns,
Belle l'Uine. Minn., writes that a friend
dieadfulty injured bis hand, which

healed the wound, and saved his life.
