lington Record, accompanied by
Mrs. Norvel, were in Condon
last Friday afternoon and re
turned home the following morn
ing. This was their first vhit to
the Wheat City and were im
favorably
impressed with'
appearance of Condon, naturally
they missed the shade trees of
Arlington's Main street but
found that the weather was cooler
than at their home town. The
editor has been kept quite busy
since taking charge of the Rec
ord and never had the time to
come to the county seat While
here Mr. and Mrs. Norvel called
at the court house and the Globe
office and "took in the sights."
Mr. Norvel is an Arlington

fails to tay a good word for it
He said that rumors were afloat
to make Arlington the center of
an irrigation project which is to
take in a considerable area.

Clem is still growing, you had
better "watch it" .
The little city in the midst of
the wheat fields, has decided to
have a water system and within
a month it will be installed. W.
Jost, the Clem merchant,
while in Condon the fore part of
the week and speaking to the
Globe representative said: "We'
re going to have a water system
right away. A carload of coal
has been ordered for the big
well driller and as soon as it ar
rives John McEacheron will have
his machine throwing up dirt
The new well is to be located
near the old well next to the
county road. " Mr. Jost went on
to say that $6000 had been t ec
ured from Portland men to carry
on the work and that within a
month pipes would be laid to
every house in town. It is
thought that the depth of the
well will be about 4000 feet &nd
a 10-horse gasoline eng .; e will
be used as motive power to pump
the water. When the water
systejn is completed Clem will be
well protected against fire.
When asked as to the building
operations now in progress in his
town, Mr. Jost replied that every
thing was progressing satisfact
orily. The new school house is
to be plastered and will not be
ready for occupancy before tne
hrst of October. I he lra fhil-
ds residence is hearing com
