ARLINGTON THE GATEWAY TO
No more delightful place in
which to spend one's days can be
found in Lantern Oregon, or any
where in the United States, for
that matter, than our own charm

Consulting Engineers Favor
ably Impressed With Route
and Rich Territory.
Affairs along the line of the
proposed electric road to be built
from this city southward, invao
ing and tapping the rich Central
Oregon country and eventually
developing the latent resources
of this district, are rapidly shap
ing themselves into the real
thing. Tho promoter of the
proposed system, accompanied
by li. Carroll Shipman, a con
sulting engineer of the firm of
Shipman, Denny & Rhane, of
San Francisco, and Rollo A.
Hollenbeck, a locating and cons
tructing engineer of Spokane,
were in Condon last Sunday on
a return trip over the projected
route, having gone into Central
Oregon fron Shaniko south and
returning by way of Fossil.
After having spent a week in
the territory to be developed
by the railway, the party was
favorably impressed with the
country to be traversed by the
road and the general details al
ready obtained.
A telegraphic message re
ceived from the head of the pro
motion department yesterday
stated that the prospects were
favorable for starting the work
and that the contracts would be
signed today and that the matter
of selecting and sending out sur
veyors in the field would immed
iately follow.
Five applicants, four young
women and a young man, are

tions this week. The board of
examiners is composed of Coun-

Arlington and Mrs. Mulkey, of
Rock Creek.
Miss Mary Steiwer, of Fossil,
was in Condon, the forepart of
the week, having come to meet
her college friend, Miss Blanche
Huston of Portland, who arrived
in Condon Wednesday evening.
The young ladies left for Fossil
yesterday morning.

excessive rains of the western

Condon Man Sells Sheep.
That the superiority of Eastern
Oregon sheep is being recog
nized by sheepmen of other
states, is shown by the fact that
Rea Bros, of Montana, through
their agent Mr. Flemming who
is well-known to Gilliam county
sheepmen, are now making large
purchases.
During the past week, C. A.
Brown, of this city, who has a
band of sheep near Baker City,
sold to this firm. The price paid
was considerable lower than last
season's price, but it is claimed
that sheep yet bring sufficient
money to make the business
profitable.
Widow Gets Big Estate.
Mrs. Virginia A. McDaniel, 80
years of age, becomes the sole
heir to the $35,000 estate of her
late husband, Josiah McDaniel,
under the will filed to-day. There
are four sons and one daughter
surviving, ranging in age from
40 to 50 years, and their father
explains in his will that he has
kept them all in mind, as well as
three grandchildren, but is con
fident that his wife will deal
justly with all of them.
McDaniel died on July 6, leav
ing real estate valued at $9,000
in Multnomah, Clackamas and
Polk counties, and about $26,000
worth of personal property. The
widow and W. H. Fulkerson are
named to look after the estate.
The children are Andrew J. M.
McDaniel of Rock Creek, Willis
H. McDaniel of Dallas, and Han
nah E., Newton M., and Lee H.

Bring Forth the Proof.
Arlington, Ore., Aug. 8, '08.
Editor Globe: I am just in
receipt of an anonymous letter,
purporting to come from some
one in Condon, as it was mailed
there this morning, stating that
there were numerous crimes be
ing committed daily in that town,
which could be proved by good,
reliable citizens. I wish to say
in reply to this letter that if the
writer will be man enough to
sign his name to his next letter
or even give me the names of the
"reliable citizens" whereby I
may be able to get proof of these
crimes, I stand ready and willing
to take the matter up and
thoroughly investigate any
definite charges for him.

Two Small Blazes.
Through the carelessness of a
smoker who either dropped a
burning match or a lighted cigar,
the fire department was called
out to extinguish a small blaze
started in the dry grass on the
vacant lot opposite the Hunt
hardware store, Sunday. The
fire was within a few feet of the
building formerly occupied by the
Condon Furniture & Hardware
Co. There was no damage done
but more precaution to avoid
starting such fires should be
exercised at this time of the year.
Another grass fire, north of
the railroad yards, kept the Jap
anese railroad work gang busy
for about a half hour Monday
morning. For a while the fire
gained headway on the little
brown men bui was finally put
out before dqing serious damage.
