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

DEDICATION AND INSTALLATION

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

was assured, has had a stimulat
ing effect upon the hog-raising
industry in the Rock Creek re
gion, aaysacorrespondenttothe
Journal. 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. !

local stock yards are a little

Beavers on Rock Creek Are
Laying In New Supplies In
Anticipation of Coming Spell

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

L Huff on the. John Day river,
about 16 miles from the Colum

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

contend that the most severe

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." .
