As ever, this space belongs to GILLIAM COUNTY FARMERS SEE BIB MONEY IN STOCK RAW Aro Going Into this Industry on a Larger Scale A Sure Revenue and Paying Side Issue for All Condon Shipped Hundreds of Carloads of Stock to City Markets in 1907. Gilliam county has always been known as a grain-producipir center, and its name and re sources are now being heard in every section of the country since Condon, its county scat, has become the greatest primary grain shipping point in the Uni ted States. Everyone, of course, understands the meaning of such an cnornmous crop to a commun ity and county the immense wealth for the residents of that territory. Yet, there are other vast resources that are rarely ever given a thought since the country has turned to a grain center. v Should the wealth derived from the cattle, horses and hog?, to say nothing of the wool pro ceeds, be given for the past year the results of the stock industry in this county would be a great surpriso to many. The cons tant high prices of the stock market either in cattle, horses and hogs has been a great in centive to the people of this county to keep up this industry. 'During the year 1907, from the most conservative estimate, at least 200 cars of fat stock have been shipped from Condon to the Portland market and at least 200 cars more of stock cattle arid sheep have been . shipped to Colorado and the Dakotas to be fed for a short time and then sent on to the Chicago market The news, as stated by the city papers some time ago, that the packing plant at Portland DEDICATION AND INSTALLATION Mayville Grangers Move Into New Home Under Auspicious . Ceremonies Officers Instal led by Visiting Granger. On January 29th the Mayville Grangers celebrated their 21st anniversary by dedicating their new hall. At 10:30 a. m. the program of the day began by a talk from the Master, C. J. Quinn. He appointed Mrs. Vale of the Eastern Star Grange of Portland, who was sent by the State Grange as the speaker of the day, to install the Lecturer, Ceres, and.Pomona. The officers taking their places, the dedicat ing exercises were commenced which were both interesting and instructive. The public was - then highly entertained by short talks from several retiring masters. At the noon hour nearly two hundred people ate their fill of the delicious dinner prepared by the Mayville Grange ladies. The time was spent in a social good time until 2:30 when a short program was rendered as fol lows: ' , Song - . by the Grange Talk on Grafting Trees, A.

A great many up-to-date farmers are sure the waste grain on the thousands of acres of stubble fields in Gilliam county could be turned to good advantage by pasturing hogs in them during the fall and winter months. Among those in the Rock Creek country who are already pre pared or are making extensive preparations for better hogs and more of them are A. A. Carothers of the Locust Grove fruit and stock farm, and W. K. France of Rock Creek. Both are in the business of breeding thoroug breds and both have large herds. Loyd & Conyers, in the John Day district, are preparing to enter the business of growing hogs for the market, exclusively. All of these farmers have alfalfa fields which they will use as pasture. Several other farmers have expressed the intention of entering the hog-raising business. There is no reason why Condon should not become a great center for the shipping of stock for the vast surrounding territory. The only drawback this for has been the lack of enterprise in secur ing the necessary accommoda'i tions for the shippers, and this has meant the loss of thousands of dollars to Condon. !

The appearance of beaver so near the Columbia river as the mouth of Rock Creek, on the John Day River, not only proves that this-valuable ' fur-bearing animal is not entirely extinct in this section jf eastern Oregon, writes the correspondent to t he Oregon Journal from Rock Creek. A family of these industrious little animals made their appear ance last fall on the farm of J. L Huff on the. John Day river, about 16 miles from the Colum bia river. They built their house and cut enough Willow chunks, it was supposed, to supply them with bark for food during the winter. But during the past two weeks it has been noticed, that they are out again, presumably after more bark, at least thev I were engaged in cutting more :ii W111UWS. - . Sportsmen in the vicinity, dif fer as to the reasons for their ap pearance at this time. Some contend that the most severe weather of the winter has passed and that there will be an early spring. Others claim that the worst is yet to come, and the beavers are preparing for it ' The weather developments of the last few days seem to give the more pessimistic theory the best of it. J. A. Walker was in Portland this week on a business trip. more up-to-date as they now have water in them, but there is still a minus quantity in in the lack of scales. And for this reason the main shippers Brunzel & Son, Henry Necl and others have been compelled to- ship carload after, carload from rival shipping points Heppner and Shaniko. Golden-Brown.

New Railroad For Condon According to the Monument Enterprise "the citizens of Mor row county are taking active steps toward the erection of a railroad from Condon to Hard- man. All necessary bonds have been made out to cover the ex penses of the proposed new road and we will have to admit that a railroad would mean a great im provement to this (Grant) county if it does only come to Parker's Mill." .
