County School Superintendent
G. T. McArthur has filed his an
nual report with the state school
superintendent at Salem. It is
an interesting document and
shows the total enrolment of
of school children to be 746 of
which 392 are boys and 354 are
irirla. The total number of per
sons of school age, between 4
and 20 years, is 1,112. There
were 51 teachers employed the
past year, 4 men and 47 women,
all of whom are subscribers to an
educational paper. The county
is divided into 35 organized dis
tricts and the number of school
houses is 36, two of which were
built during the year. (Another
is to be erected at Clem and still
another in District No. 14.)
Every school district except one,
was visited by the county super
intendent and one institute was
held.
The financial statement of the
report makes an exceptionally
fine showing in that the receipts
exceed the disbursements by
$2,776.05; the receipts from the
various sources were $23,067.45
while the disbursements were
$20,291.40. The value of the
school houses and grounds is es
timated at $27,305.10. Accord
ing to the report the average
salary rrnid to male teacher is
$85 and $56.79 to female teacher,
Heavens Were all Aglow.
The meteoric phenomenon that
shot across the skies in a north
westerly direction in the cold
gray dawn Wednesday, scatter
ing rays of light and setting the
firmament aglow, was one of the
nrettiest sisrhts ever witnessed
in Condon. The strange appar
ition resembled a huge sky roe
ket and the illumination lasted
about three seconds. It then
burst forth into a number of
scintillating balls which gradi
ally disappeared from view,
The phenomenon was seen by
A. T. Walker, the Portland en
gineer who is taking the place
of Mr. Marble at the local elec
trie plant. He is enthusiastic in
his description of the peculiar
pyrotechnic effect it gave the sky.
Improvements on the Flyer.
Thoroughly clean and swept
passenger cars on the Condon
branch is the innovation which
the railroad company will inau
gurate before the middle of the
month. A compressed air plant
for cleaning coaches will be ins
talled here, as the result of an
official visit of Master Mechanic
J. T. Langley to Condon this
oweek. The cleansing process
to be used here is to be the same
as that in vogue on the main line,
It is expected that the plant
will be in working order by Aug
gust 15. This improvement will
receive the approval of the trav
eling public.
Condon Has Mild and Equable
Climate Weather In
Summer Is Ideal.
That Condon's climate is mild,
healthful.und equable is demons
trated by the records of the
Weather bureau department
The erratic statement made last
week in a Gilliam county paper
that the thermometer regist
ered 104 degrees in the shade in
Condon is unqualifiedly absurd.
igures giving the maximum
temperature for the oppres
sively hot days" were obtained

8, 840; on 19th 91; on 20th 93o;
on 21st 910; on 22nd 89; on 23rd
83o. These are figures that set
to naught the pipe dreams of an
over-worked editor.
Weather Man Gives Figures.

cury climbed to 93o in Condon,

Forty Fold Wheat Yields Elev
en Sacks to the Acre Fine
Milling Wheat and
Tests High.
At the inception of the har
vest season there is always a
good deal of rivalry among local
warehouse men for the distinc
tion of handling the first wheat
of the season. This year the cov
eted honor falls to the Pacific
Coast Elevator Co., of which
Charles F. Kennedy is local man
ager. The first load of new
wheat was brought to Condon
Tuesday and consisted of 119
sacks. The wheat was grown
by Wm. Ebbert, who has reasons
to be proud for the wheat gave a
yield of 12 sacks to the acre.
Manager Kennedy 'in speak
ing of the wheat says: "It is of
the 40-fold variety and has fine
color. It is a splendid milling
wheat and tested 58 1-2."
