FIRST GRANGE FAIR A HUGE SUCCESS
Wonderful Display of Gilliam and Wheeler
Counties' Products Thoroughbred Stock
on Exhibition 548 Entries Received.
"A huge success", was the
comment heard on all sides dur
ing tho closing hours of the May
villo Fair, given under the aus
pices of the Granges of Gilliam
and Wheeler counties on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week.
So successful was this first at
tempt that it is understood simi
lar events will be held each year
in the future. During the two
days exhibition of the products
of the two counties, it has been
estimated that fully 2,000 people
saw the wonderful display of the
resources of Gilliam and Wheeler
counties and all of these -have
praised the work of the different
granges and especially the peo
ple of Mayville who spared no
efforts in making the fair what
it was.
The fact that 648 entries were
received confirms the idea that
the first Grange Fair was well
patronized. The display of the
products from fruits, garden
truck to articles of the .culi
nary art and needle work, was
large and especially of a choice
selection, displayed in a large
building to a great advantage.
A Globe representative who had
the pleasure to witness the ex
hibits heard many who were
heretofore unacquainted with
Eastern Oregon products, utter
exclamations of surprise upon
their first glance at the array
of fruits and vegetables. Some
even said that we had no rivals
when it came to apple raising.
The master of the Oregon State
Grange, A. T. Buxton, who is
an old . friend of the Globe
representative, was especially
astonished at the exhibits and
said, "We, of Western Oregon,
who come here for the first time
have no idea of the excellence
of the products you grow in these
two counties. I must say that
this fair is a great success and
that others should be held in the
future."
The stock show was still more
interesting as many farmers had
brought their thoroughbred stock
for exhibition. The yards were
filled with prize winners and
among the cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep were rivals for any state
fair blue ribbon winners.
Among the Condon people who
attended the Mayville Fair were:
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Merrifield,
Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Thomas, Mr.
and Mrs. Bert Wells, Miss .Belle
Townsend, Miss Hockett, R. R.
Butler, Dr. Wood, W. A. Camp
bell, E. M. Larkin, Geo. Riggs,
Horace McBride, A. Meresse, H.
S. Rice, Frank Golden, R. Fro
man, Stewart Campbell, Chas.
Lillie, Len and Wm. Searcy,
R. H. Robinson, Ruff Stanton,
Mrs. J. Ramsey and son.
An explosion in ' the boiler of
A. Greiner's threshing engine
delayed operations for a few
days but a new one was imme
diately ordered and the outfit has
again started up.
Fossil was well represented at
the Mayville Fair and many, at
tended from the country around
Spray. '
George Blake went to Arling
ton on business the first of the
week.
The two days were also filled
in with excellent programs and
grange work. R. R. Butler of
Condon gave tho main address,
and several prominent local
grangers gave interesting talks
on grange work. A. T. Buxton,
of the Oregon State Grange,
spoke of the work and influence
of the Granges in the political
strife of the country, he urged
co-operation of the granges in
working for the great wants ol
the farming class. The program
was interspersed, with songs and
recitations.
Among the sports of day was
the Beeson - Gibbons wrestling
match and Foss-May ville foot
ball game which resulted in a
scoreless game. The Mayville
boys had the best of the game
from start to finish and played
in Fossil's territory nearly all the
time.
The mounted drill by 21 young
ladies and young men of May
ville showed much preparation
and hard work.
Wm. Wherli won the prize for
the best winter wheat "
Mrs. J. Blankenship won the
reputation of being the best
bread baker in the two counties
and also demonstrated that the
Premier flour" makes the best
bread.
W. Thompson had a beautiful
of display of apples that secured
prizes. '
The thoroughbred cattle of W.
J. Edwards took home a bunch
of blue ribbons and other prizes.
Ed. Stinchfield's horses were
prize winners.
The list of entries and prizes
awarded are so large that space
cannot be given them this week.
Now that it has been proven
beyond a doubt that the first
fair ever held in this district
has been such a decided success.
lei all start planning for a larger
fair next year. Let all take up
the slogan " A larger and better
Fair for 1908," Such enterprises
are a great boon to a district and
aid wonderfully in advertising
the real worth of its resources.
The Catholic Ladies Aid will
hold a Fair in this city on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, Decem
ber 12th, 13th and 14th, for the
benefit of the new school build
ing. Many entirely new and
novel features will be presented
at this Fair. Further particulars
will be given later.
The Madison Square Theatre
Co. has certainly pleased the
theatre goers of Condon and vi
cinity as the numbers who filled
the hall night after night during
the past week testify. Mr.
Lowe has brought to this city a
good troupe and it is hoped that
many others of such standing
will be secured during the win
ter. A laughable comedy will be
presented this evening and to
morrow evening the famous dra
ma, "Ten Nights in a Bar Room",
will be presented. . This compa
ny is going to Shaniko next week
and will be at Frineville during
the Fair to be held at that place.
Horse r ail With Boy.
A serious accident almost re
sulted Saturday while Floyd
Dunlap and several of his chums
were having a good time on
Main street Floyd was riding
his horse and pulling a small
express wagon in which the boys
were riding, by means of a 25
foot rope tied securely to the
horn of the saddle. Everything
went on well for a while and the
boys were having the time of
their lives until Floyd jerked
back on the ' reins; the horse,
being tender mouthed and feel
ing the rope tightening, reared
back so high that it lost its
balance and turned a complete
sommcrsault backward with the
boy. Luckily, as the horse fell
on top of the boy it rolled over
to one side. Bystanders were on
the spot in a moment and the
lad rescued before further harm
could be done him.
Upon examinations it 1 was
found that he was not seriously
injured, although badly bruised
about the head and legs. Floyd
will be able to be out again in a
few days.
Taylor Chllds.
A very pretty and impressive
marriage ceremony took place on '
Monday, October 14th at the!
home of E Wheir, in this city,
which united the lives of Miss
Marion E. Childs and Henry S. I
Taylor, both of Olex. The knot
was tied by Justice Wheir in t)ie'
presence of Wm. Fair and farni-;
ly and other friends of the bride'
and groom. A sumptuous' wed
ding supper was enjoyed after j
the ceremony .at the Oregon
Hotel. j
The bride is a native of North
Carolina, where her parents now ,
resides, but has been making her!
home at Olex, where her happy j
disposition has won her a host of
friends. The groom is a young1
man of good habits, being well- j
known and respacted in the J
vicinity of Olex. The young
couple left Condon Tuesday for
Olex and will make their future
home on Wm. Fair's ranch.
The Globe joins with their
many friends in wishing them
much success and happiness.
A. T. Buxton, Master of the
Oregon State Grange, arrived in
Condon Tuesday evening, leav
ing the same evening for May
ville where he was to take part
on the program of the Gilliam
and Wheeler Counties Grange
Fair. Mr. Buxton's home is a
few miles from Forest Grove
where he has a model farm and,
although one of the youngest
farmers in the state, is one of
the most successful. His farm
in Western Oregon is certainly a
prize winner as the result of di
versified farming. Mr. Buxton
is now spending much of his time
in the advancement, of. the
Granges of Oregon and his work
is for the betterment of the farm
ers. While in Condon he visited
with his friend and former towns
man, A. Meresse, of the Globe.
Rev. G. W. Riggs left Monday
for Salem to-attend a meeting of
the Congregational Ministers
Association. He returns Saturday

in with the latter's sheep. Har
die claims $80 damage. .
