a year of progress and building
activity for the Wheat City.
Already have the plana been
made for the erection of several
new buildings and other build
ings will bo enlarged, while the
County Court, will erect the
High School building as was de cided
yesterday afternoon.
The court levied three-mill tax
for the purpose of building the
high school, thus establishing a
fund of $20,000.00. from which
$15,000.00 will be used in erect
ing a beautiful two story brick
building, ' the remainder to be
UHed for purchasing a building
site, and paying running ex
penses, teachers' salaries, etc.
Although the court has not gone
so far as to decide the location of
the school, it is believed it will be
placed in the northeast part, of
the city.
Dunn Bros. ' have already
signed the ' contract for the
building of another story on
their brick block.' J. N. Uayliss,

ENTHUSIASTIC "BOOSTER'S" MEETING
In spite of the snow storm
which kept the principal speaker,
Tom Richardson of Portland, as
well aa many people from differ
ent sections of the county, from
gathering at the court house on
Wednesday evening, a most en
thusiastic "booster meeting"
was held by a few of the loyal
supporters of - the , experiment
station.
Gathered in the corner of the
big room, hugging the stove to
keeepwarm, were several mem
bers of the executive committee
and members of the Gilliam
County Improvement League,
who at once proceeded to busi
ness upon the .arrival of Secre
tary Horner who had letters re
ceived since the last meeting.
It was reported that all peti
tions sent out were well filled
with the names of taxpayers,
showing that the majority were
in favor of a tax levied by the
county court for the purpose of
purchasing necessary land for
the experimental farm. Many
letters were read containing of
fers of suitable land, price rang
ing from ten to twenty-seven
dollars per acre. Others wished
to rent, while some were willing
to turn land over free of charge.
Since such enthusiastic inter
est is being demonstrated for the
securing of Ihe farm and the
short amount of time before the
session of legislature, those pres
ent upon the suggestion from
Representative Mariner's letter
passed that the executive com
mittee see that a clause, author
izing the county court to make a
tax levy up to $10,000.00 for . the
purpose of purchasing station
site, be amended to the bill to be
presented at thfa session. :":
Upon the motion of Chas II.
Williams, it was unanimously
voted that a person be named by
by the executive committee to
secure options on suitable land
along the railroad from Harnett
to Gwendolen, from which the
state committee could select
The local committee is now in
possession of some good options
and offers for the farm sites but
the work of securing more op
tions will be carried on so as to
be able to offer the state author
ities the best location possible
for the experiment station.
' Other business taken up was
the petition to Congress asking
for a reduction of the duty on
grain bags. The petition shows
that our farmprs are paying ljc
duty on each grain bag used.
Many ranchers have already
placed their name on the paper.
Academy expects to begin the
work as soon as the weather per
mits. The improvements will
mean an .expenditure of $5,000.
The growth of business enjoyed
by this firm necessitates the re
modelling of the lower floor,
while a new front with lower
show windows will transform
the building . into most roomy
and comfortable quarters.
In' all probability Condon will,
during the summer, see a mod
ern $(1,000 hospital erected. Dr,
Wood, who is contemplating this
move, is receiving the support of
many residents, ko that it is al
most an assured fact that a two
story framo building, with eight
sick rooms, the doctors office,
nurse's rooms, housekeepers'
rooms, etc., will be Condon's
newest building.
