Grand Court for Condon.
Condon will entertain tht oiiitibtn of
thaQrand Court, Forester of A merle
In 1900. Tbl wa definitely decided up
on at Iht Uraod Court meeting held in
l'ortland lait week whan Dav Moliane,
who represented Court Condon, No. 64,
at tht l'ortland meeting, by little deft
manipulation of tht condition! a ht
found them aurceeded In quietly ileal
Ing the coveted prlie before the advo
cate of othei towrni readied juit where
thev were at.
Mr. McUane li well known all over
thli lection ol Eastern Oregon ai a most
genial gentleman, a lip-top barber and a
mighty good fellow but It wn not sua
peeled by hit cloeeet frlendi that he waa
possessed of thoee characteristics which
go to make the finlihed politician, itut
It eeenn he had those qualities carefully
towed away In hn sleeve and when he
reached Portland and found a merry
fight In progreee over tht selection of
grand officer! he quietly went to work
to land the nett eeealon of the grand
court for Condon. He loat no time In
getting to work and to quietly were hie
plain carried out that when he took the
floor to make a speech In which he drew
a vivid picture of the glories and possl
bllitlei of Kaitern Oregon In general and
of Condon in particular, not only ai to
their material resources bat also ai re
garded the promiae of thil field for the
upbuilding of the order of Foresters, he
elmply carried the convention by itorm
and when he had finiihed a fellow con
aplrator jumped to hie feet and moved
that Condon ahould be the neit meeting
place. The motion wa quickly second
ed and ai quickly put to vote and before
you could eav "ecat" the thing wit done.
The order of Foresters in thliiute
comprieea about 80 court aud thli will
mean an attendance at the Condon
meeting nett year of more than 100 dele
gate. It ii of much importance to the
city tor every place In Oregon in which
a member of the order lives will hear
wore or lea of Condon within the nett
year. McBent la all right, lie will be
remembered i the man who packed
convention, Hole a grind lodge and help
ed to make the dot which represents
Condon on the map of Oregon a little
bigger, a little blacker and more con
epicuoui than it wm before.
It Is Funny.
One of tht funny thing about a conn
try itor ii the questions they ak.
"I the quality of thews good up to the
highest itandard?" aik one. .
"Ye," wii the anawer, "after you
have uaed the article several month, If
you art not perfectly iitlifled you may
return It and get your money back."
"Do you give fall weight and ineaa
ore?" "Yea, or yoa can do your own weigh
ing and meaaurlng it you wiah," wa the
anawer.
"Do vou trust anybxty (or good?
"Yea, everyone who I entitled to
credit."
Weill If there inch a atort in Con
don it mailt be llunt'e Hardware Store.
Ita the only place where they do buai-
net in luch a funny way.

For a Better Road to Condon.
An earnest movement Is on foot look
ing towards tht Improvement of tht

Tht county of Wheeler and the city of
Foaail are working in notion to that
end, and it le hoped that the people on
tht Uilliam county sldt of the lint will
take the matter np with equal enthu
siasm. .
Last year two miles of tht worst of
this road, west of the town of Foaail,
waa graveled with white gravel, and U
now by far the twit piece of road be
tween Condon and Foaill. This year
the road district and the people of Foaail
expect to gravel and make a Brat-class
road out to tht foot of tht Camming!
hill, a distance of from 4 to 4 miles
roin Fossil. As this work will exhaust
our resources thla year, and aa It is of
great importance to tht farmers In tbt
vicinity and to tht town of Condon that
tht often impassable road between the
top of the Cnromlnga hill and tht town
of May villa bt graveled before the Fall
raina begin, the farmera of Mayville and
the progressive business men of Condon
will he asked to take a hand in thla
good work. Unless this work is done,
even though the John Day be bridged,
hot little of the large shipping trade
from eouth of the John Day will bt di
verted to Condon, aa Shanikc, the com
peting railroad point, ia about the same
distance and baa no mud like tht May
ville "dope" to contend with. Fo.sil la
Interested in diverting this traffic to
Condon for the reaaon that it will all
have to pass through this place and In
doing so will materially Increase the
biuineea of the town.
Several Mayville farmera have already
promised to subscribe from ono to two
weeks' work with their teams to improve
this road, and we have no doubt that
many others will do likewise when the
matter la pat before them in tht proper
light. It ia proposed to have ail the

veit time.'. ,,".... . :
