Conductor Andrews who has
been on the Inland Limited for
the past week is telling one on
himself. 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. She appeared to
bo worried about something and
she took a live in'erst in the sta
tions when the train stopped
After the train had left Rock
Creek aha asked. 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.

To The Editor of The Condon
Globe, I
In your paper of the 18th, of
March you published an item to
the effect that Graves & Weinke
Company had been instrumental
in sellinir my farm.- I do not
know who gave you this inform
ation but in order that the public
may not be deceived in this par
ticularand that I may not be
misrepresented, I beg to advise
you that this real estate firm had
nothing whatever to do with the
sale of my ranch. 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

the train and made the people

Explains Why It Should Be
Held In This City On
- April 4th.
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 .

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.

requested to bring the people of
Condon together. 1
On Wednesday hieht after
coming to Condon with Mr. Wells
I escorted him to the post office
and as we were leaving the place
I took him into Mr. Reisacher's
harness store to meet Mr. Rei-
sacher. 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.

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.

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

It will come as a surprise to

considerably higher than that of
