King Winter rules in Gilliam County and the old timers Bay that this Is the coldest spell since 1839, nineteen years ago. Thai winter was one that those people have been unable to forget since nearly all of them lost every thing. The winter of '89 began in earnest in December, the mer cury falling to 85 below zero, while the ground was covered with a thick blanket of snow that lasted until February. Just when the stock that had survived ' was thought to be out of danger, another storm, much harder than that which had ended twelve THE WHEAT CITY SEEMS TO BE ON THE MAP Condonite for Presi dent of Senate. The legislators of Oregon are busy these days at the capital Everything in the way of organ ization went on smoothly. Mc Arthur's election as Speaker of the House was made unanimous on Monday. The name of the caucus nominee was presented to the house by Campbell, chairman of the cauous. Munkers, of Linn, representing the House minority, nominated his colleague Corrigan, of Yamhill, for Speak er. McArthur cast a compli mentary vote for Conyers and himself received the votes of the other 50 Republicans present.

So damaging were the re sults that the winter of '89 still remains firmly planted . in the memory of the many stockrais ers and sheepmen' who were put completely out of business. The deep snow of 1834 is also remembered, but the present spell, with the actions of the storms, snow, sleet and winds, the pioneer stockman say re minds them as a repetition of the terrible winter of 1881, when so many lost all their worldly goods -at that time cattle and horses. The storm that year also began in January, with the ground cov ered with 18 incnes of snow. For months blizzards of snow and sleet raged over the country while the thermometer ranged from 20 to 35 degrees below zero. Thousands of unsheltered cattle, covered with ice, unable to get feed, perished before the March Chinook. Men who went through the or deals of that winter and who have been comparing the actions of the present storm and the winds, predict a long spell of weather, many even say that it will not break until March. k Cold During Past Week. The coldest night in this city was last Saturday night when the mercury fell down to 201 below zero. The thermometer has P. O. Receipts Prove Condon Is Growing. The building activity that is to come over the Wheat City dur ing the year 1909 brings up the question of Condon's growth during the past year. The resi dents can readily bring to mind the many improvements made, the new buildings that were erected, the organizations that were started, etc, all pointing to a good substantial and healthy growth. But for still further proof that Condon and vicinity has had a good increase during the past year, the reports of Postmaster Reisacher will give the fact that the general gross receipts during every month of the year 1908 were larger than the correspond ing months of the previous year. The business of registered mail during the year 1908 was more than double that of 1907, while the money orders sent out of the office amounted to $500 more in 1908 than in the previous year. This all goes to show a health ier condition in the community and neccessarily an increase in population. W. A. Tate of Rock Creek, Ore, is in this city making final proof on a homestead.

The snow in different parts of the country ranges from a depth of 16 inches to two feet . All wheat growers are jubilant over the prospects for good crops since the soil was in the best of conditions to receive the white blanket and the cold snap. Cattlemen and sheepmen are feeding and the majority have plenty of feed for some time.! Only one or two exceptions have reached this city that certain sheepmen were short of feed. Josh Hardiewho has several thousand sheep in the Ferry Canyon country was in town the first of the week arranging for the hauling of feed to his winter quarters and there is no doubt that plenty of feed can be had.
