CONDON - LARGEST PRIMARY WHEAT SHIPPING POINT III WORLD Contributes 1,350.000 Bushels of Grain Gilliam County's Crop Output Reaches 3,350,000 Bushels of Grain Means at Least $1,750,000 to Be Divided Among the ' Residents of Gilliam County. ' One million,, three hundred and fifty thousand bushels of grain is the latest rcjwrt of the amount of wheat and barley which will be Bent out into the world as Condon'a contribution. This enormous showing makes Condon the largest primary grain shipping point to the United States and no doubt in the world, since Ritzville, Wn., which has claimed the record in former years, has had to give way to the county seat of Gilliam county. This statement is no doubt a great surprise to the majority of the 0. R. & N., 1.100,000 bu I shels of wheat and barley have 'already been received, or rather have been shipped or awaiting shipment To this must be added the large amount of grain which is yet scattered over dif ferent parts of this vicinity, waiting to be hauled to town be fore spring. From the best of authorities, men who are keep up with the movement of the crop, is learned that 250,000 bu shels will yet find its way to this station -making the grand total of 1,350,000 bushels of grain to ... A from Gilliam county. By add ing to the last total the, 600, CO') bushels of( grain which will be kept at ome for feed and seed, Gilliam county's wonderful grain output is summed up at three million, three hundred and fifty thousand bushels. At the average price of 70 cents per bushel, for wheat as was received this year, and which made up the greatest share of the crop output, can readily be computed the great wealth of Gilliam . county. It means that over $1,750,000 will PrDarlns the Soil on a Gilliam Countv Ranch for a "La roar 1S08 Cron." . . . - -.. . ---- Jt the people in this section of the state, as very few persons have heretofore given this matter a thought Ritzville, the little town over in Washington which claimed the record of being the largest pri mary shipping point last year, was credited as such on a basis of shipping 1,250,000 bushels. . This year the crop output was much smaller, while the territory feeding Condon was blessed with the most favorable conditons. From figures which have been gathered from the local agent of be shipped from Condon, - " No less remarkable is the crop throughout the remaining sec tions of Gilliam county, the totals of the different stations coming up to more than the amount to be shipped from this station. It must also be remembered that thousands of bushels of grain har vested along the edges of Gilliam county, are shipped from near by railroad points in the adjoin ing counties and when added to the above amounts will make the total of 2,750,000 bushels of grain that will be sent out broadcast be received and divided up among the ranchers of Gilliam county for their crop alone. To this large amount can 'be added the proceeds from other vast re sources, such as cattle, horses, sheep, etd, which will prove and show beyond a doubt Gilliam county's untold wealth. To give a ' clearer idea of this enormous quantity of wheat to be shipped from Gilliam county, grind it into flour -and then bake it into loaves of bread 120,000,000 loaves, which when (Concluded on last page. ) LOCAL LOOSES HOLD ANNUAL INSTALLATION AND BIG FEAST Odd Fallows Entertain Local Rebekaha also Brother and Slater Lodges from' Mayvllle.

NORTH MAIN STREET 3 fmmLmmm wa How a Cough Starts 2 nnnnAnu, A cough is like a debt in that 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 cresentlv it develops into a downright nuis- a ance. 1 he (tickling sensation 5 at first experienced is Nature's 5 warning that an irritation is 5 affecting . , the mucous ? membrane lining in the throat , 5 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 PINE AND TAR WITH CODEINE COUGH SYRUP. vruinruui .
