SCHOOL NOTES
The Condon Public School, No.
25 closed Friday May 17th with
the exception of Mrs. Berry's
and G. T. McArthur's rooms.
Mrs. Berry had two and Mr. Mc
Arthur three days of lost time to
makeup.
The school has been a pro
nounced aucesa this year judging
from the quality of work done
and the satisfaction given.
Nearly all pupils attending regu
larly passed with grades that are
a credit to themselves and their
teachers. Regular attendance
counts every time when it comes
to the test Bert Knox has the
record for attendance in the Con
don school, having attended for
three years without being absent
a day or being tardy a minute.
Members of the eighth grade
who were neither absent or tardy
during the year are Geogia Sear
cy, Pearl Hardman and Tula Kins
ley, of the seventh grade
Tilly Dams.
Out of a class of ten from the
Condon school who took the State
Eighth Grade Examination, eight
passed with honors, one failed in
arithmetic and one was kept out
to work the last half day of exam
ination so did not get to finish,
which she could have done with
ease, as it could not be avoided
she has the sympathy of " her
classmates and teacher. Those
. who passed are, in order of grad
es made, Georgia Searcy, Frank
White, Ray Bunnell, Bessie Dod
son, Tula Kinsley, Charles Fitz
maurice, Belle Townsend and
Herbert Clarke, Charles Mo

ORQWKEO IN THE JQHH DAY
Another life was added to the
list of the treacherous John Day
river on Monday, May 27, when
J as. Paul, a prosperous rancher,
of Spray, was drowned while
fordinsr the river above the
backwater of the new dam. Mr.
Paul had been accustomed to
fording the river in this place
place and as near as can be learn
ed nobody knows the exact cir
cumstances. His body has not
been recovered and probably
never will be, on account of the
quicksands just below the place
he was crossing. Mr. Paul was
32 years of age and leaves a wife
to mourn his untimely death.
He was a brother of Mrs. R. R.
Keys of Fossil.
BASEBALL NOTES
A few of Condon's base ball
"veterans" picked up enough
men to fill out the team and
went over to May ville Sunday to
play the Mayville boys on their
new diamond. The Mayville
team, remembering the "drub
bing" they recieved over here
three weeks ago, had strength
ened their team and proceeded to j
trot around the bases for a total!
of thirteen scores while on Con
don's side only nine men were a
ble to cross the home plate. The
diamond was slow and no inter
est was taken in the game by
either side. Wild throwing lost
the game for Condon. Since
coming home the boys say that
the only way the only way they
can get any commendation from
some of the citizens is to play a
tie game, which they will en i sa
vor to do in the future. These

BE YOUR 0M DOCTOR.
Dr. Riatoh, New York's most
successful, eye, ear, nose and
throat specialist was recently
asked the question, can catarrh
be cured? II replied, it cer
tainly can, and the remedy i
dimple and easily applied He
went on to say that hi success
was due to a discovery h aoci
dentally made while in Aitetra
Ha some years ago when he no
ticed the inhabitants there were
almost entirely free from any
catarrhal affections due to the
atmosphere there being, laden
ith the antiseptic and healing
properties of the Euealyptne
and other plants growing there
n abundance. ''
