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,

High honors were won by Ore

merino yearlings, purchased last
spring of Smytho & Son of Ar-

west Following the show these
prize-winners were sold for $G.10.

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. . Yours very truly,

SCHOOL DISTRICT VOTES
I TEN-Kill TU LEV?
May Be Last Levy on
District for Support
of Local High School.
June Vote to Decide.
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

How a Cough Starts
Mtvwnnnu A cough is like a debt in that "wuww
both may be easily contracted
but soon become a nuisance
and often mighty hard to get
rid of. 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.
