Oregon won the laurels at the Cheyenne Frontier Days and first place went to Dick Stanley, of Portland, in the world's cham pionship broncho busting con test Ikusa Purely and Archie Kaaua, two Ilawniiuns, won first and third place in the Bteer roping contests. There are many admirers of Walter Scale, of Condon) who now wish that the boy might have gone to the con test. It is unfortunate that those who started the movement to send him there did not carry their plans to fruition. A Cheyenne exchange says: "To Stanley belongs the honor of being the first man who ever scratched 'Old Steamboat' and remained on his back, for the best riders in the country have failed to stick and scratch the outlaw. ' "The Portland man weighs less than 120 pounds, and not only rode straight up, but rode part of the time with his feet out of the stirrups and his spurs drag ging back and forth across 'Old Steamboat's' sides. "Again and again the vicious outlaw attempted to throw him, trying every jump, ist and turn he knew, but finally de cided that he hiitfnet his mas 'fer, for Stanley only smiled and whipped and spurred the harder."

France, Rock Creek, Or. tf The Harvester's Since Gilliam county has be come one of the great wheat producing districts in Oregon, it is only natural that the very day life of the harvesters be made comfortable and con venient in its surroundings. The modern cook house which follows the harvesting crew, is al most the equal of a Pullman diner when compared to the former un tidy accommodations offered to the men who toil in the harvest fields. Dave Cantwell, the vil lage blacksmith, has earned an enviable reputation as a builder of cook houses. He has made a study of these wagons and dur ing the past year designed and constructed a house on wheels which will accommodate twenty two men around the table at meal time. Though the wagon is but 10x28 feet it is fitted up with a large cooking range, cup Inspects New Route. Dr. Homer I. Keeney, of Port land, who is interested in the new electric line was in Condon ! Wednesday and left for Fossil on Thursday. Dr. Keeney was well pleased over the proposed route. In speaking of the road he said, "The work at the present time ny ., is going on at the rate of two miles per day, and the boys will have their headquarters in May ,ville by Saturday or the first of .JJVe week. The grades are easy, "' being only two per cent." Gospel meetings are being held every night in the big tent across from the office of the Arlington Lumber Co. In spite of other attractions the meetings have been fairly "well attended. , In a splendid outburst of enthusiasm following a fervent appeal made by the eloquent Right Rev. C. J. O'Reilly, bishop of the Iiaker City diocese, the t-um of $15,000 was raised last Sunday by local Catholics to complete the new St. Aquinas School in this city, now in course of construction. Thirteen prominent members of the congregation do nated a thousand dollars each, and the remaining $2000 were easily secured. The local church realizes the importance of the school to the interests of the church in Condon and vi cinity and has rallied to its support with commendable zeal. The institution will be owned by the Dominican Sisters, and when finished will cost about $.'5,000. According to present expectations, the building will be ready for occu pancy about February 1st of the coming year. The contract for the erection of the building is to be let the first of the week, and work will follow soon after and , ' . .11. !:!!.- l-AJ , proceeu uninterruptedly uniu me eumce is compieiea. g 3ini iwuvvann wnnvnw runnrru vnuvuvrviuuvnnnnnAJniinuuvinrc Vancouver Entertained Royally, Says J. P. Rollins. . P. Rollins the photographer, returned from Vancouver, Wash. Monday evening where he had been in attendance at the session of the convention of the Photo graphers of the Pacific North west, Mr. Rollins when speak ing to the Globe man regarding the convention, was enthusiastic over the manner the camera-men were entertained by the city on the banks of the Columbia. No thing seemed too good for the photographers; banquets, recept ions, and moonlight excursions on the Columbia were inter spersed in the convention pro gram, making it doubly interest ing. Vancouver has had the honor, as told in the address of welcome of entertaining during the year, the "pumpkin rollers" the Grangers; the "pencil push ers" -the Washington State Ed itorial Association and lastly the "shadow smashers" the photo graphers.

's railroad is being carried on as fast as pos sible, the party under O. Denny having made their camp on Thirtymile, where their headquarters will be until they reach Mayville. The route to be fol lowed by the new road is through the Maidock Canyon as an easy grade has been found. Rollo A. Hollenbeck, another engineer, who with a crew of surveyors passed through Condon the first of the week on their way to the John Day river, where one of the proposed dams and electric power plants is to be situated, returned to Condon yesterday after having surveyed the location for the dam. The party left for Portland the next day, where Mr. Hollenbeck will use the data obtained to draw up the plans for the cons truction of the dam and power plant ' In a few days the same crew will leave Portland for . Shaniko and will proceed to the Deschutes river on a similar survey for another dam and power station some c; loriy nines lrom ananiKO. i- duvxuvaruvnr vvuirumnnjvwvuinruruvuuin Condon Man Will Enlarge His Shanlko Hotel. E. C. Rogers, of the Oregon hotel, says that he is enjoying a fine business at hisShaniko hotel and as a result will erect an ad dition 32x64 to the main hotel building which will add much to the convenience of the hostelry. The improvements will consist of an office, a ladies' parlors, a kitchen and fourteen bed rooms-, thus making fifty-four available rooms. Mr. Rogers expects to leave for Shaniko as soon as he can conveniently do so, to see that the annex is rushed to early completion as he will make a strong pull for the commercial trade which has been drifting elsewhere. . Words of Praise. The Condon Globe issued a beautiful and instructive harvest number last week, that is bound to bring settlers into Gilliam county. Fossil Journal. of Coook Houses Mr. Cantwell is enjoying a good business in this line of work in Condon. He also makes a specialty of building header beds and hay racks. The in crease of business has been such as to necessitate the employ ment of competent help. To do all kinds of harvesting machinery repairing, he has secured the services of an expert blacksmith in the person of C. W. Olsen, at one time connected with the blacksmithing department of the Oregon City Paper mills, and those of an expert woodworker, H. L. Odell. Although having resided in Condon for a few years, Mr. Cantwell has made his home in this section for the last twenty years, having run a sawmill in Lost Valley now the property of the Arlington Lumber Co. on Power Plants. . ... Opposed to Organization of Legislature on "State ment" Lines. "If I had subscribed to State ment No. 1 I would keep my pledge," said Congressman Ellis, who is in Portland looking over the political situation. "I have been asked a number of times by polil icians about the senatorial situation," continued the representative of the Second Congressional District, "but I have informed them that I have nothing to say. I was not con sulted at first on the matter, and as my advice was not sought then, there is no occasion for my saying anything now. There fore, I am keeping my hands off and am taking no interest in the matter. ''There are enough Statement Nd 1 men in the legislature to elect Governor Chamberlafn. Had I subscribed to the pledge 1 should keep it As to the organ ization of the legislature, how ever, I do not believe that it should be organized on Statement No. 1 and anti-statement lines. The statement should not be made an issue in the legislature, for there are other matters to consider beside the statement, and it affects only the senator- ship. If a member introduces a gool bill it should be passed, ir respective of whether the advo cate of the bill is a statement man or an anti. I cannot see that anything can be gained by or ganizing the Senate and House on the statement The state ment members are in control of both branchep, bat only in con trol through the assistance of the Democrats. Therefore, I favor organization -withcut-the statement" Speaking of the presidential election, Representative Ellis has no doubt that Taft will carry the state by a big majority. Even ing Telegram. New Mall Car on Flyer. Improvements on the local branch are still being made by the railroad company, this time in the shape of a better and more modern combination mail and baggage car. The new car made its first trip to Condon last evening and created no little at tention. Mr. Cooper, the mail clerk, has now more comfortable quarters, half the car being given to the mail department Condon, the Wheat City. Referring to Condon's claims to the title of "Wheat City," over those of Pendleton, the Hood River News-Letter says: "Sure, Globe, Condon is the 'Wheat City.' This is once that you caught Judge Lowell napping, notwithstanding the fact that he lives in a 'dry town." WARNER'S RUST PROOF CORSETS Give Satisfaction.
