BANK HOLIDAYS
(RE OVER
All Buslnoaa Picks upon Hrm
BasisLocal Banks Report
Amounts Deposited Great
ly Exceed Withdrawals.
The bank holidays are a thing
of the past, having ended Dec
ember 14th. Business in gener
al, while not as good as before,
has picked up with a rush that
is reassuring. The' local banks
have not been taking advantage
of the holidays for Some time
and their reports show that dur
ing the past week the amounts
that have been deposited are
greater than those drawn out,
although some of the knockers
who persist in looking in the
wrong direction, predicted that
Borne of the local banks would
have to suspend as soon as the
holidays were officially declared
off. The wheat buyers are Jn
the market offering 68 cents per
bushel. Not only in Condon is
business picking up but accord
ing to our exchanges it is the
rule throughout the state.

MASQUERADE

sentee. The masquerade ball given at
the Bkating rink lost Friday ev
ening was a success in every
way. The costumes were well
gotten up and not a few of them
were very appropriate. The ball
was attended by about 150 peo
ple many of whom were specta
tors. Shouts of laughter greeted
the appearance and antics of
the maskers who were there for
that purpose. Four judges were
chosen early in the evening and
and after an hour and a half of
dancing, the judges awarded the
prize Mr the best lady masker,
a glove and handkerchief box to
the lady representing the Gilliam
Co. Milling Co., Mrs. W. L.
Blakely, and grize for the best
gentleman masker, a smoking
set, to Master James Flett, who
took the part of a Brownie. Mrs.
Blakely's costume was unique,
being made of flour sacks sewed
into a dress with the brands on
the outside. Several other cos
tumes were worthy of mention
especially those representing the
Kerr, Gifford and Interior Ware
houses, which were made of
grain sacks. After the prizes
were, given the participants un
masked and dancing was the or
der until a late hour.
It is reported by the best of
authority that the majority of
the stockmen in the mountains
south of Condon who ship their
stock to Portland, ship it from
Shaniko. Almost all of these do
their business there, buy their
clothing, groceries, in fact all of
their supplies. Why is this? To
use the words of one of these
stockmen, this is the reason:
'The reason we ship our cattle
from Shaniko instead of Condon
is because in the stock-yards at
Condon there is neither scales
nor water, while at Shaniko there
is both." We would much rather
ship from Condon and do our
trading there but we can't afford
to ship from there nor make an
extra trip over there to buy sup
plies." This is not the senti
ment of one man alone, but of
all who ship much stock. Even
Brunzel & Son, our local buyers,
ship most of their stock from
Shaniko for this same reason.
The city of Condon loses thous
ands of dollars every year, mon
ey that would otherwise come
here but for the fact that our
stockyards are not up-to-date.
Would it pay to look after this?
A ten pound boy was born to
Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbons of
Mayville Tuesday night. Dr.
Wood in attendance.
According" to "an exchange,
the majority of eastern Oregon
sheepmen will devote the entire
month of January to trapping,
poisoning and otherwise ridding
the country of the sheepmen's
pest, the coyote. At the time
the $2 bounty was declared off
the coyotes were few and far be
tween but now it is a common
thing to see them roaming over
the hills, sometimes four or five
in a bunch.

Everybody Knows
the name Studebaker
Manufacturer of Wagons and
South Bend Watches. We don't
sell the Wagons but we do sell the
Watches to those who insist upon
having them. We like to sell
them for one reason, and yet we
don't like to for another reason.
The reason we like to sell them is
because the margin ot profit is
mucbgreater than on our higher
grade watches, yet we would rather
sell you a standard timepiece which
we know would give entire satis
faction and make you our perma
nent customer. We sell more
watches than any other dealer in
the county for two reasons, the
first is because we handle all the
high grade movements, and never
try to talk a customer into buying
an inferior article, knowing that
by so doing we not only lose his
trade, but also his good will, and
sacrifice our established reputation
for square dealing and reliability.
The second reason is expressed in
a very few words, being nothing
more or less than that our prices
are about 25 per cent, lower than
those of our competitors, regard
less of their misleading assertions,
and we are here to prove it to you
Our goods are marked in plain fig'
ures, and we havebut one price to
all. ROBINSON, Graduate Optl
