"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

Mr. Flett
He is in the midst of the hay
ing season and has 500 acres in

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

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.

The Condon Ice and Meat Co.

already ordered the piping which
will enable the freezing process
to be made quicker than hereto

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.
