Dr. Withvcombe and his party are scheduled to take part on the program of an agricultural fair to be held in Prineville, October 13 and 17, and are planning to be at May ville a week earlier. It is probable that one of the prominent features of the program to be presented by the college professors will consist of a Btereopticon lecture, it will deal on various phases of hus bandry. The fair management is making an etTort to make the fair even a greater success than a year ago. Already the fair is getting con- Biacraoie puuueuy ana wiu inter est in the event is much more pronounced than a year ago, at this season. Secretary Dukek received a letter this week from M. D. Wisdom, of Portland, one of the Oreeon commissione a to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo sition to be held at Seattle, stat ine that he had just noticed in the waDers that an agriculture fair was to be held at Mayville in the fall and asked if arrange ments could not be made to for ward some of the Mayville exhi bits to the Seattle fair.

FOR DEVELOPMENT Rock Creek Rancher Wants Trolley Line to Tap His Section WILL GIVE BETTER MARKETS FOR BETTER MAIL SERVICE Postal Authorities Investigate Feasibility of Quicker Delivery on Branches. W. G. Flett Offers to Give Right of Way-Line Would be Means to Raise Values wuuuuuwnwnnnnrvvnnn'Wfl s Nothing slow about the wheat market The bulls have taken the bears by surprise. Eighty cents wheat at the inception of harvest has no precedent locally. Buyers yester day contracted lots at 82 cents. Contracts are re ported to have been made at a shade under 83 cents. The question before the farmer is 'To hold or not to hold." It's uo to you. 3 "I believe that the develop ment of this section of country will be brought about by trolley lines," said W. U. rlett, one or the most progressive ranchers of the Rock Creek country, to a Globe reporter when in Condon Monday. The building or a trolley line through the Rock Creek country would be the ma king of that section,': he con tinued. "It is a rich country now, but with the coming of a trolley line taking our butter and eggs and other produce to mar ket, our land would ennance in value and the greater market facilities would make ranching all the more profitable. The un der brush would be cleared and the rich alluvial soil made to produce more abundantly. I will K've rights of way and a cash mus of $500 if the proposed line will come near my ranch," added Mr. Flett He is in the midst of the hay ing season and has 500 acres in alfalfa. To his regular custom ers he has sold hay at $5 per ton from the field. Mr. Flett is a reader of the Globe, and comes around every two years to swell the right side of the publishers' ledger. Mr. Flett has been iden tified with the development of this section of the country for forty-years. To Enlarge Capacity of Plant. Slot Machines Are No More. The moral wave which is sweep ing the country touched Gilliam county Thursday and the nickel-in-the-slot machines are no more. District Attorney Burdett has issued ah order requiring all persons operating slot machines to desist doing or to suffer the ncunlties of the law. Every slot machine owner has been individ ually notified and his attention called to the provisions of the law regarding games of chance. The district attorney cites Sec. 1955 Bellinger & Cotton's coda The issuance of the order caused no utir and the slot machines were put of commission at once by the owners.

STURGILL, School Superintendent The Condon Ice and Meat Co. will enlarge the capacity of its ice plant in a few days, having already ordered the piping which will enable the freezing process to be made quicker than hereto fore. The plant has been turn ing out during the past month an average of a ton of ice every twenty-four hours. 'Che addi tional cooling pipes will give an increase of the output of ice without enlarging the ma chinery. That the home ice plant has come to fill a long felt want is shown ny tne growing patronage the local firm is en joying. . The postal authorities have been investigating the feasibility of arranging a better mail ser vice between points on the Con bon branch and those on the Columbia Southern which, if in augurated, will prove a great improvement At present it takes three days to get return mail from Wasco, Moroand other towns on that branch because the Pendleton local does not carry the mail when it arrives at Arlington. In the proposed change, a closed mail sack is to be made up on this line by the mail clerk. placed on train No. 7 and carried the same day to Moro, and other towns on that railroad branch, As a large amount of mail matter is carried between the various towns on the tvo branches there is an imperative need for im proved mail facilities. Sweeping Conflagration. Fernie. which is the center of the raging forest fires that have swept the country for miles in southern British Columbia, ren denng thousands homeless, is situated on the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Rexford branch of the Great Northern. The city of Fernie had a population of 6.000 and 70 blocks of smoulder ing ashes mark the spot where the city formerly stood. Losses are estimated at many millions. Hun dreds of families are homeless. Cattle and horses were burned bv the thousands. The cause of of the conflagration is ascribed to a gale that fanned an unguar ded fire. Wanted More Teacher. Gilliam county is in need of school teachers probably 25 of them for the rural districts. Some of the districts which have not as yet secured teachers, are among the best in the county. Prof. J. C. Sturgill states that but few teachers' contracts have been filed with the county super intendent The annual report of the county school superintendent published exclusively last week in the Globe shows that educa tional affairs in this county will open auspiciously for the new year.
