At the next regular meeting of the city council, it is probable that the committee to which was referred the application of the Central Oregon Townsite Com pany for a franchise to lay tracks and operate electric cars within the corporate limits of Condon, will make its report In the application, the com pany asks the privilege to run its railway lines on Main, also on Oregon and on Ward streets. The city is given the power to regulate the transportation of any freight and express matter and to prescribe certain condi tions for the unloading of such. The proposed ordinance is quite a lengthy and minutely prepared document which the committee intends to peruse carefully to protect the rights and interests of the city. It is provided that tracks be laid on the same grade as the street so as not to obstruct traffic. The passenger cars are to be of approved design and modernly equipped. The town council at Fossil has granted a franchise to the com pany, which is to be void unless the construction work is begun next year and the road completed as far as Fossil in three years.

AFTER TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS Old Friends Meet After Sepa ration of Twenty-eight Long Years. Boyhood Compan ions Meet In Condon. Joe Mattingly, the well-known pioneer, is enjoying a visit from George W. Hawkes and family, of Davis, Co., Mo. The reunion between Mr. Mattingly and Mr. Hawkes who were boys together Jmck in old Nebraska, is prov ing of unusual interest as they re count the days when they fished and hunted 28 years ago. Mr. Hawkes has disposed of his farm interests in Missouri and has almost decided to settle in this locality and not to go back to the "state of yellow corn and big muies." He has been down in the San Joaquin valley in Cal ifornia, in the orange and red-wood forest districts and en joyed the change of conditions ex isting there. More recently Jie has been up in the Walla Walla dis trict visiting his cousins where he found out that his friend, Joe was living in Gilliam county. He mailed a letter to Joe Mat tingly addressed at Trail Fork but Joe had left that neck of the woods years ago and it took Uncle Sam's agent ten days to locate him. Joe was joyously tickled to learn that his boyhood companion was near, He sat down and dashed off an invita tion to Mr. Hawkes to be sure to come to see him. On receipt of Joe's invitation, Mr. Hawkes who had already purchased his tickets for the east, went to the ticket agent and told him of his change of plans. Uncommonly obliging was the agent, who re funded the money and took back the tickets. Mr. Hawkes and family came on to Condon and are well pleased with the appear ance of things here. Joe Mattingly saw Condon grow up from a mere camp around a spring to a busy, grow ing town of more than 1,200. He came to this region in 1883, and settled in the Trail Fork neighborhood. He is still a be liever in the fact that Gilliam county is good enough for any man who is willing to go on a ranch and work a little. Eighty-five cents a piece for water bags, eighty-five cents a piece for header forks, $3.75 for nails, six cents a foot for half inch galvanized pipe, forty dol lars for either a Singer, White, or Wheeler & Wilson sewing machine is cheap enough, and dear enough. If you are paying more you had better change to Hunt, the Hardware Man, to do your trading. Increased joy has come to the home of County Judge and Mrs. Edward Dunn because of the arrival Tuesday morning of a bright baby boy. The mother and child are doing finely and Judge Dunn is as happy as he can be. The parents have been the recipients of felicitations from their many friends. Water bags have taken a tum ble in the market and you will get the benefit of it if you buy them of Hunt, the Hardware Man, at 85 cents a piece. G. Seaton Taylor left yester day for Mt Hood where he goes for a week's outing. He will be joined by his parents and a party of excursionists who will make the ascent of the snow-clad peak. Mrs. C. W. Lord has gone to The Dalles to be the guest of her parents Mr. and Mrs. George Rusch. Miss Ethel Shurte, of Arling ton, was here during the week in the interests of the "Pacific Northwest." George Berry, manager of the local branch of the Arlington Lumber Company, leaves Satur day for a week's outing in the Willamette valley. He will meet his family in Portland and from there will go to Balston, in Polk county to see the scenes of his youthful davs. n km COUNTY 1 1 News Notes Items of Interest Gathered by Our Country Correspondents.
