The second annual county fair hat passed into history an the most successful ever held tin der the auspices of the granges of Gilliam and Wheeler counties The fair closed Friday evening with an old-fashioned dance where jollity reigned supreme as scores of dancers tripped the 'light fantastic" bidding the big event farewell. ' Proverbial Mayville hospitality was everywhere in evidence and the visitors were made to feel at home while in the thriving town. Splendid exhibits, big horses, ""Tine fruit, clean sports and happy crowds these were the features of the county fair. ' Fine Exhibits Congressman Ellis in his ad ' dress complimented the fair management on their efforts and the unqualified success of the enterprise. Dr. Jas. Withycombe . who has attended fairs held in varv nnnnl'v in tha tntfl nrnised the agricultural and livestock ex hibits in no uncertain terms. Such comments mean much to those who worked faithfully to make the fair a success and give renewed encouragement for the preparation of future fairs. The ! wheat exhibits for a dry year ;: . demonstrated the fecundity of ' the soil of Gilliam county and the fruit displays were a revel: ation to those who did not know that this county can produce fine fruit. The . exhibits in the hall were not so numerous as last year but the quality was equal in every respect Rock Creek fruit growers had exceptionally fine displays and the high land or ! chards of the Ferry Canyon and Mayville districts astonished the Willamette people who for the r first time saw the possibilities of this section for orcharding. Next Year-What? The executive board of the fair was pleased at the interest which Condon citizens showed in the fair, on both days strong del egationsof Condonites were in attendance. Thursday, the Condon boosters with badges printed iu red, white and blue, were at the fair shouting for the Kood Grangers, and the enter prising citizens of May ville and boosting for the Wheat City. They were there, thirty strong. There were others from Condon, too. Some of the Wheat City enthusiasts believe that the fair should be held here next year as the accommodations for visitors would be more adequate "and the fair could be reached easier from Willamette valley and eastern Oregon points because of the railroad. Grounds and an exhibit pavilion, a har monious, pull-together spirit wil be necessary. : Tha Muslo The Mayville Cornet Band con tributed to the enlivening of the occasion, The instrumentation of the organization is as follows: Bass drum, Finley Thomas; drum Gertie Edwards; cornets, D. T Santo, Harry Santo and Jay Mayfleld; trombones, Glen Santo, JohnMcConnell; tuba, Bert Ed wards; Mrs. McConnell, alto; Fred Stinchfield, baritone; Mrs. P. Stinchfield, tenor. Timely Addresses. Tho speaking at the fair was full of interest. Congressman Ellis made the address on the opening day. He said that these county fairs were the means of raising the standard of husband ry. They promote rivalry and rivalry engenders the desire to excel. Excellence in farming means profitable and more pleas ant farming. Judge Ellis re ceived a warm greeting as . he arose to speak. At the conclu sion of the address the applause was hearty and prolonged. The adJre ses of Dr. Withycombe, Prof. Scudder, and Prof. Lewis were timely and of interest The lack of space prevents further comment on these addresses. , Declamation Contest At the close of the address by rof. Scudder, President Quinn announced the recitation contest The contestants acquitted them selves creditably. llcjccie were Dr. Jar. Withycombe, Miss Thacker, and Miss Dodson. In the class over 18, on any subject F. L Laughrige, 1st; Mrs. Mar vin, 2nd. Laughrige gave Wen dell Phillips' oration on Toussaint L'Ouverture.

Beeson, 1 first; Broad Jump Lester Beeson, first, G. S Taylor, 2nd. Ball Games The baseball game between the Condon and Mayville teams on Thursday afternoon resulted in a victory for the Wheat City by a score of 5 to 3. For the first few innings the game was slow and the rooters not very enthu siastic but during the last five innings both teams played good ball and the rooters gingered up. The batteries were: Condon K. Welshonsand H. Fitzmaurice; Mayville Beeson and Graham. There was no "kicking" on the decisions of the umpire, John Anderson. The football game on Friday afternoon resulted in a tie, the score being 0 to 0. The Condon team, however, had the better of it, having the ball several times within a few feet of their oppo nents' goal. The Mayville ag gregation was very heavy, aver- aging about 185 pounds but this weight was offset by the speed of the Condon team which aver aged about 140 pounds to the man. Both teams showed the lack of practice. Mr. Prosser of Fossil, refereed and gave gen eral satisfaction. Some of tne Award.

Pauling has added to his Drug and Jewelry Store a room 6x28 feet and fitted up the most complete, modern, up-to- date Optical Parlor in Eastern Oregon. It is in the charge of -DR. A. A. KEENE- who is a graduate from two of the best Optical Colleges in the United States. He also has a di ploma from a Horologies! School. Mr. Pauling has also installed another Watci Repair Bench as he found that one man could not handle his much increased re pair work. With two bencher and two Watch Makers you can now have your watch repaired at Pauling's almost while you wait While in Portland last week Mr. Pauling ordered over $2,000.00 worth of new WATCHES, JEWELRY. OUTCLASS and SILVERWARE. These goods will be shipped di rect from the factory and will reach Condon about Nov. 1st This lot together with others al ready ordered will give the Pauling Store the largest assort ment of high grade holiday goods in Gilliam County. Mr. Paul ing's marvelous success in the Drug and Jewelry business in Condon is due to the fact that he has always stood back of his goods with a personal guarantee and is satisfied with a reasonable profit These are two factors which mean much to the people, who as a rule are not supposed to be judges of the quality and prices of either Drugs or Jewel ry but are lorced to reiy upon the honesty and integrity of the man with whom they 'deal An other feature about thd Pauling Store is that all goods are mark ed in plain figures, consequently the man in the overalls pays ex actly the same price for the same goods as does the banker or merchant If you are looking for a square deal all the time, "get the Pauling habit" REMEMBER If you have Eye Troubles you crn have your eyes tested by Graduate Optician entirely free of charge. If Dr. Keene says you must wear glasses, Mr. Pauling says they must give enure satisfac tion or you get your money back. If your children are backward in their school work it may be caused by some unsuspected af fection of the vision, now why not have their eyes examined when it costs you absolutely no thing. In examining children 8 eyes, Or. Keene uses the Ophthalmom eter, an iiiMrumrnt which records the refractive error without having to rely upon the judgment of the child at all. This accounts, to some extent, for Dr. Keene's re markable success in fitting child' rn with spectacles. AT PAULINOS Waltham or Elgin Watches 4.75 Jewelry and Silver Engraved Free of Charge.
