SUM TRAINS HUE -A THINS OF THE PAST New Contract for Car rying Mail Does Not Include Sunday Mail as Heretofore. The local Sunday train which boa in many ways proved a ben efit to the people of Gilliam coun ty has been discontinued for some time at least Perhaps the most Inconvenient part will be the loss of the Sunday mail, but this is offset by the fact that it will be a boon to the crew on this branch, who have, under the for mer schedule, had no time to spend at home at all. The reason of the discontinu ing of the Sunday trains is that in making the new contract be ginning the first of the year for the carrying of the mail the railroad company has eliminated from the form the Sunday mail heretofore included. ' The new contracts on the branches feed' ing the main line of the 0. It N. only call for the carrying of mails on six days so Sunday trains on all branches have been taken off, Fltzwater-Cochran. J. Robert Fitzwater and Miss Pauline Cochran were united in marriage at the home of the bride, at 5 o'clock Wednesday evening, in the presence of a few immediate relatives and friends. The impressive marriage service was read by Rev. Riggs. The groom is a son of J. K. Fitzwa- tor and is a prosperous young farmer. He is well known and highly respected thjroughout the community.,. The bride is prom inent in social circles and has a host of friends over the county. The Globe joins with their many friends in congratulation and in wishing them success and hap piness. Another popular .young man promised us the job of writing up his wedding this week also, but aa it does not as yet appear on the records that he has secur ed a license it will not do to men tion his name in this issue. How ever, it will not be long before our readers will have the pleas ure of reading half a column with his name aa one of those at the head. Oregon 8heep Win Prizes. High honors were won by Ore gon sheep 'when some Lincoln merino yearlings, purchased last spring of Smytho & Son of Ar- ington, took first and second prizes at the International Stock Show at Chicago. The prizes were competed for by sheep from almost every state in the west Following the show these prize-winners were sold for $G.10. which was a price 35 cents higher than that given for any other at the show. Jas. Kirlin left this morning for Los Angeles where he may remain throughout'.the winter. Fred Groves who has been spending a week or two in Con don returned this morning to Arlington, . Fred Wilson was a passenger this morning for outside points. The Truth As It Is. Be Not Deceives Prices Have Dropped. Arthur Schilling spent Christ mas with his mother and Her bert in Forest Grove, returning Friday of last week. , , Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Downing left this morning for Vancouver, Wash., where their daughter, Mrs. Geo. Wright, lives, to assist if possible in unearthing the facts in connection with the strange disappearance of Mr. Wright which occured some weeks ago. The last seen of him was when he boarded the ferry boat for Portland since which time the police and detectives have been searching, for him without finding the slightest clue to his whereabouts. We have coal in our bins that oobI fit per ton and have ooal corn- in? that coeli but $8.50 per ton. Conditions in the coal trade are exactly tht merit of last year. At ibis time last year eoal could not be had at any price from Wyoming and other rail points, tbe only available supply for Portland, to be depended upon, was Australian ooal, and that in small quantities and at high prices. Tbe importers of this coal expecting like eondt- lions ''W'prevair ibis" year aslast bought very heavily of Australian ooal and this coal in now coming to Portland at tbe rate of several car goes per month. Notwithstanding the panic having changed conditions in all lines, which has placed Wyo ming, Washington and Oregon ooal in the market at much lower prices and will cause those import ers to drop prices below cost, en tailing a loss of nearly one hun dred thousand dollars to one firm We purchased some of this Austra lian coal last year tnat cost us 115.00 per ton delivered at Condon, and thought we were favored it being given it while other people all over the state were clamoring for ooal and could not get it, we being besieged for this car at any price before its arrival at Condon. We aim to protect our patrons at all times, not alone in price, but in the assurance that they have coal available at all times. And you will find our prices as low or lower than thoBO prevailing in any sec tion of eastern Oregon. We meet all legitimate competition and guarantee our weights and measure, and only ask that you buy where you can buy the cheapest, quality and service considered. Prices have dropped in all coal mining sections as well as retail communities and we have dropped our prices in con formity thereto. Thanking you for your patronage (a large volume of which- we have enjoyed) and assur ing you we will always have eoal and make tht prices right, and wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year. .

At the school meeting of the Condon district on last Saturday was voted a Bchool tax of ten mills. This extraordinary high tax had to be levied on account of the indebtedness of the school district, most of which has been caused through the maintenance of the High School during the last three years. The people of this school district have been working for many years for a better school and an addition of higher grades which has natur ally proven very expensive as the different grades have been added from year to year. At present it is estimated that the district has added about $250 per month to the expense list for the payment of high school teachers; hence the increase in the tax levy. The work of the high school in this city has already proyen a boon to the community in bring ing many people here during the winter to seek higher grade ad vantages. But as the county high school problem is to come up at the June election j there is no doubt that ; the Condundiifa Jet -after this year will not have to bear alone the expenses of running a high school THETRUTH Home people's advertisements are c!iructerint:o of their way of doing buHiiiPKs. The truth if. coal is higher at the mines in Wyoming now than it was a year ago when the people of Condon were paying from 15 to (8 per ton more for it than now. Why the difference? Blame Simpson for it. The panic had nothing to do with it. I bave lots of coal and will have all win ter. Get prices of C. A. Simpson, at Condon Steam Laundry. on nmruniwwwnr anruxnnnnnjxn.

It takes very little to start a cough or cold. An op en window, an open door, sit ting in a draught, insufficient clothing, a sudden change from a heated interior to a cooler atmosphere these and plenty other reasons are quite suffi cient to cause one to realize that a cough or cold has lodg ed in the system. The symp toms are slight The incon venience is trifling. But if it remains unchecked the cough grows worse and presently it develops into a downright nuis- a ance. The tickling sensation A warning that an irritation is affecting the mucous membrane lining in the throat and bronchial tubes. Every cough affects this delicate membrane. The longer you cough the more affected it be comes. Presently the mem brane becomes inflamed and congested. Coughing becomes frequent and painful, after which the results become more direct, dire and disastrous. It is therefore obvious that an effective quietus should, at the very outset, be put upon the cough. This is best done with WHITE PISE AND TAR WITH CODEINE COUGH SYRUP. txnnmwnnm Prepared by uuuvuuvu R. L.
