A young lady got on the train at Arlington a few days ago after kissing a tearful farewell to a dozen girls who were on the de ootDlatform.

Conductor An Jrews to please tell her when the train arrived at Clem. Claud, who is exceptionally considerate, for a railroad man, agreed to do sc but there waa a rush of business when the train got to Clem and he forgot his promise but thought of it when he saw the young lady after the train left tha station lie stopped the train and went back to the girl and said: 'This is Clem, shall we back the train to the depot for you?" The girl thanked him and said: No, Mr, Andrews, I didn't want to get off at Clem. Mamma said I was to take another pill when I got to Clem and I was afraid I would forcret . Thank you. Mr. And rews." It is needless to say that the demonstration train which was in this city Monday and Tuesday was highly appreciated by the people of Gilliam County. In spite of the cold, disagreeable weather, enthusiastic farmers from all sections of the county and Beveral from Wheeler were present and all took great inter est in the demonstrations shown by the experts in the various branches of agricultural work, t is said that this train was the best ever sent out by any railroad in the United States. It was made up of eight cars, six o.f which were filled with various exhibits. Twenty-five people, in- udinsr experts representing all inca of agriculture, horticulture and stock raising, accompanied the train. Heretofore the prin cipal features of demonstration trains have been lectures cover ing the different subjects. " The only regrettable feature was that the allotted time of two. hours was not long, enough to satisfy those present The dry farming car was in charge of Prof. II. D. Scudder and was devoted to ex hibits of soils. The next car was filled with horticultural exhibits.

I gave them a contract to sell the land which expired on February 18, 1910, and I notified them in writing that the land was withdrawn from their agency. I made a sale to Mr. N. M. . McDaniel without any aid cr assistance of this concern and the only thing they had to do with the transaction was to attempt to make me pay them $650.00 com- fanning machinery were very attractive to many but probably tha most interesting feature was the dairy exhibit and the de monstration of the milking ma chine.

I am somewhat surprised to learn that there is some dis satisfaction as to the place of the citizens holding the meeting on April 4th of Arlington, outlining the plan Uhtive to conervation dam on of the railroad company, which 1 rv. r w w . was wellattended by Arlington s l!ftlA wv-in ,met f enthusiastic progressive and r in nf flW fp., patriotic citizens, They immedi- it my duty to of fer explanaticn. ately grasped the long looked for In t. filt , -r(1.r fo gather data we will have to have opportunity to advertise the county, under the plan suggest ed by Mr. Wells. The next morn ing Mr. Wells heard Walter Wade of Olex, who happened to be eating at the same breakfast table with Mr. Wells, that Con don was divided on the Gilliam County Booster Club. This made him approach me on the subject- whereupon I gave him the histo ry of the club. It then was his access to the Assesors Rolls and Co. Plats which can only be gained through an Attorney and our Water Codes with which Condon is supplied. I have talked this matter over with' some of Condon's leading business men and Citizens and find, them in hearty accord with the move and have the assurance of their help and support in the measure. sincere aesire mat me noume ne rvn n, n-,.5i t patched up and the organization and ouf county j deemed be made a harmonious one, and I it for reasons already set forth. asked me if it could be accom- as the proper place for a meeting nlished.

I then offered to take him to the office of Bowerman but to this Mr. Wells protested for the reason that he had not not from any selfish notions or influence from any source whatever. So, now friends from far and near, let us lay aside any differ ence of opinion along this line and gather in Condon on April 4th, with the sole purpose and intent of bettering our conditions and the the County in general. C. W. Martin. LOCAL LODGE OF REBEKAHS PRACTICING FOR DRAMA E. C. Rogers went to his Rock Creek ranch Monday. Mr. Rog ers spends a good share of his time there in order superintend the work. He reports the big plowing outfit to be doing fine work and expects to hmsn ms 700 acres of spring plowing some time next week. . Much interest in the big machine is manifested by the extensive farmers of the country. Jay Bowerman left. Wednsday morning for Portland. Wednes day night took it upon themselv es to form a club for the purpose of advertising Gilliam county to the outside world, and the fact that I was one of those who with drew from a committee to whicl I was assigned for duty, 'it be comes necessary for me to ex plain to the public what has caused this breach and why this step was taken. ' The citizens of Gilliam County well knew that certain Individ uals, in co-operation with the Condon Globe, for ,' several months advocated a booster club for our county, but no one came forward to lend their assistance toward this worthy cause, and which would have meant thous ands of dollars to the farmers and merchants of Gilliam County. During the month of February last some of the progressive and enterprising citizens of our coun ty took it upon themselves to cause such an organization to be formed. And this with a view that Gilliam County be advertised on a small scale, so that people could be provided with literature about Gilliam County which would not have the name of real estate concern attached to it But between the period that the club was formed and the day Mr. Wells came; to Condon, Mr. G. E. Townsend came into The local lodge of the ' Rebek- ahs are preparing a drama which will be put on in this city durintr the next two weeks.".

There consented. After supper that evening I returned to the hotel and found Mr. Wells and' while there waiting Mr. Rei- sacher came in, and it was sug gested that we go down to meet! some of the business men, among them being J. Bowerman. After reaching Bowerman's office I laid before him the birth of Gilliam County Booster Club.
