1HE COIIH GL06E H. A. HARTSHORN PabiMMr. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1907. Mrs. J. M. Blakely, of Umatil la county, passed through Con don Monday morning on her way to her home at Pendleton.

They were brought to Arlington by the sheriff of Wasco county where they were met by Sheriff Rogers who brought them to Condon and lodged the county jail It is also reported that they stole a harness of Joe Wool- ery at lone. Rev. Father Cantwell left Mon day morning for a few days visit at Baker City. G. S. Taylor, bookkeeper for the Kerr, Gifford Warehouse Co., spent Saturday and Sunday in Portland attending to business matters and visiting with, his parents. Dr. L. L. Taylor performed an operation on one of Frank Moore's horses Monday, removing sever al pieces of bone from the foot. It seems that the horse had step ped on a sharp of bone about two weeks ago and several pieces remained in the foot causing in flammation and festering. The animal's worth is estimated at $200 and it is lucky that Condon has a good veterinary as without proper treatment the wound would probably have caused blood poisoning and the loss of the horse. . Mrs. W. H. Duncan, who has been visiting with her brother, ,C. A. Simpson, for about three weeks, left Monday morning for her home in Portland. Mrs. Simpson accompanied her and will visit in Portland and other points in Western Oregon for a month before returning. John Reisacher, who has been here for some time visiting with his son, J. F.

Myrick, who has been here for a week or ten days at tending to business interests, left Monday morning for his home in Pendleton. Mr. Myrick owns a ranch southwest of Condon which is rented this year and says that his crop is very good and he is well satisfied with his investment rLnuxruvruwvuvuwuwvuwnjvp ChrQ In Olot Mmflmnt dwnnnnjvfunnrvnnnruunnnnuvv The deal was consummated this week whereby A. Meresse, who has lately been employed at the Times office, purchased half in terest in the Globe printing of fice, real estate and abstract bus iness. Mr. Meresse'8 ability as a newspaper man is shown by the fact that he formerly managed and edited the Washington County News and was for some time the City Editor of the Ore gon City Daily Star and the peo ple of Condon and vicinity are aware of his workmanship in the job and ad line. Fred Anderson will retain his position as fore man of the office and this will give the patrons of. this office their choice of the two best printers in Eastern Oregon. Any and all job work will be turned out as soon as the copy is brought to the office. Mr. Meresse will assume charge ! of the paper and Mr. Hartshorn will devote his entire time to the rapidly growing abstract and real estate business. A new cylinder press has been ordered and is now on the road, the present press being totally inadequate to handle i the job and newspaper work, and when it arrives the paper will be enlarged and bettered in every way. The management from this on will be ready to turn out the latest and most up-to-date printing ever done in Gilliam county. We will design and give you estimates that will surprise you as to quality of work and prices prices that will be much lower than the Portland prices to say nothing of the time you will save. Our motto is, "The best at the most reasonable cost " And the best when it comes to your stationery, is surely what you need.

A serious accident occurred last week at the home of George Hawk near the head of Thirty- mile when his little daughter was accidentally shot by her brother. It seems from the meager accounts obtainable that the little girl was leaning over a fence and her brother, who was shooting squirrels with a .22 caliber rifle, was standing direct ly behind her leading the gun or getting ready to shoot when the weapon was accidentally dis charged, the bullet entering the back of the girl's head and com ing out about four inches above. A doctor was immediately sum moned and at last reports it is thought she will recover. A very pretty wedding took place at 4 o'clock last Saturday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wehrli on Keys Flat when their daughter, Marie, was married to Mr. Herbert My ers, Rev. Father Cantwell offi ciating. Frank Golden acted as best man and Miss Elsie Brown as bridesmaid. About fifty friends and relatives were pres ent at the ceremony and the cou ple received many beautiful and useful presents. The bride is a most estimable young lady and has many friends not only in the vicinity of her home but also in and around Condon who will wish her much happiness. The groom who has lately conducted a bar ber shop at lone is a young man of good habits and has been suc cessful in his chosen profession. The happy couple expect to make Condon their future home.

Moore, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Greiner, Frank Golden and Miss Elsie Brown.

The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Rose of Pine Ridge and and is well and favorably known throughout that community. The groom is a nephew of F. B. Stevens and has made his home with him for the past five years. The happy cou ple will make their future home on Mr. Stevens' ranch on the east fork of Thirty-mile. One day last week J. W. Booth of Wasco offered to wager $50 that Elmer Hall could haul 75 sacks of wheat from Mr. Booth's ranch four miles east of town to Condon with four horses with out getting stuck, unhitching his trail or trouble of any kind. Bud Rinehart had a different opinion and called the wager with the result that the trial was held Sunday and Mr. Hall delivered the grain in Condon with no trouble at all. Forty sacks of wheat is considered a good load for four horses and considering the fact that there were almost twice as many on this load it shows that there are some very good horses in Gilliam county. A. Greiner of Mayville was ov er a few days this week getting his new Pride of Washington separator which came in Satur day evening. It is one of the best machines made, having all of the latest improvements and will undoubtedly do good work. Mr. Greiner says that the wheat in his section is averaging 30 bushels per acre. Almost all of the grain is in the stack and is ready for the thresher. His ma chine has been running over two weeks and he says that he still has a run of thirty days at least He started from Condon Tuesday with the separator.

The building of the additional two rooms to the public school building, as advertised in the call for bid, has been given up as the board has decided that the district could not afford to spend so much money this year.

The company will be given SO days in which to comply with the new ruling. Another of J. W. Hire's teams ran away Thursday morning.
