Dick Stanley, of Portland,
Successfully Rides Famoui
Outlaw Horses.
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."

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

Vancouver Entertained
Royally, Says J. P. Rollins.

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

honor, as told in the address of
welcome of entertaining during

Preliminary Work
V
3 Surveying on the proposed line of the Wasco County
Electric Co. '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

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.

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

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

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."
