) - THE! GILLIAM COUNTY "BOOSTER"
CHINOOK BRINGS SUDDEN CHANGE
Warmer Weather Reported This Morning from Different Sections
! . of County Storms of Past Week Sets Old Timers Recalling
Hardships Undergone Nineteen Years Ago.
At last Boreas, the blusterer,
after a week's sport with his
freezing wind, has given way to
to the , warm mild Chinook and
this morning the mercury had
risen to 2 degrees above freezing.
It's a sudden change. Have you
noticed It yet? Only a few nights
ago it was 20) below zero.
The great amount of snow cov
ering the ground all over the
county will mean enough moist
ure to insure good crops this
year. . A sudden thaw followed
by freezing weather might do
some damage to crops, while it
would relieve the stockmen who
are short of feed.
Recalls Old Storms.
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

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.
There was likewise no opposi
tion to Jay Bawerman of Condon,
Senator for Gilliam, Sherman
and Wheeler, for permanent
President of the Senate.
A large number of bills have
allready appeared before the
house and senate. In the house
Mariner is expected to be chair
man of the committee on com
merce. Irrigation and experi
ment stations will be big sub

Proposed Basketball Tour
The basket ball squad of the
Condon Athletic Club are expect
ing to take a trip the first week
in February under the manage
ment of Geo. W. Parman.: They
will goto The Dalles where they
will play the Lane & Sexton
team, and from there they will go
direct to Walla Walla to play the
Y. M. C. A. team of that place.
! From Walla Walla they will goto
Weston and play the State Nor
mal team and thence home.
The boys will begin practicing
at once and good results can be
expected.
days before, came over the coun
try. 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. His vitnesses
are W. Head and H. Barnhart,
also of Rock Creek Tuesday's

this week. On Tuesday he at

been ranging below zero during
the day ever since the storm
started on January 4th. From
the May ville country comes the
report of 28 below on last Mon
day, while at Arlington it reach
ed 26 below. . Quinton this far
reports the coldest, 32 below on
Monday. The extreme cold in
the aorthern part of the county,
is due, no doubt, to the piercing
wind along the frozen Columbia.
Means Good Crops.
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.
On Monday the trains along;
the main line were blockaded but
with the aid of big rotary plows,
traffic has been kept open since
that time. .
