ed to furnish the music and
dancing will commence prompt
ly at nine o'clock lasting until
twelve. The price wi'l be only
50 cents. This company expects

ture every week. A pleasant
time is assured. . ,
The musicale and moving pic
ture entertainment which was
given last Saturday evening by
the Condon Amusment Company
as the formal opening of their
new theatre was a decided suc
cess in more ways' than one.
Every seat in the house was oc
cupied and standing room was at
premium. The musical numbers
were well received especially the
vocal solos by Mrs.D.H.Cottmire
and Miss Kittie Nickolson. The
other musical numbers were a
mandolin solo by J.E. Schroeder,
cornet duet by Clarke and Hart
shorn and two selections by the
Wheat City Orchestra. The films
shown were also very good.
MARCUS PORTWOOD
The sad news was flashed
over the wire to this city yes
terday of the death of Mark
Portwood at Chehalia, Wash, by
an injury received. It is impos
sible to state full particulars
this week.
North Portland Stock Market
Receipts at this market for the
week ending today were; cattle,
2054; Calves, 395; Hogs, 1250
Sheep, 6183; Horses and mules,
47.
The cattle market for the week
has been steady to strong, with
the recovery of from 15c to 25c
from the break of last week.
The sheep market has been from
strong to higher, while the hog
market assumed a steady position
after the decline of the first
part of the week. The demand
for Cattle and Sheep has been
brisk.
Happenings of interest to the
livestock trade have been the re
tirement of Mr. Wm. Shepherd,
a long time cattle buyer at Port
land, to look after his own inter
ests. The establishment of a
horse and mule market is also
worthy of note, and horse and
mule raisers of the Pacific North
west can take advantage of
this opportunity of disDosintr
oi tneir surplus arart animals.

N NORTHWEST
The wheat raisers and or
chard ists throughout this sec
tion of the state are again
confronted by the problem
of obtaining sufficient help to
take care of and harvest their
crops. Not only does this apply
to this section but also to the
northwest in general. Employ
ment agencies in Spokane alone
have orders for more than 10,
000 men and thus estimating the
amount ,of orders which must
be placed ' with employment
agencies of the other large cities
of the northwest, places the
number of men wanted at
enormous figures. The majority
of these orders comes from the
grain and fruit districts of East
ern Oregon and Washington,
North and Central Idaho, and
Wekern Montana, in which ter
ritories, according to the state
inspectors, the crops this season
will be larger than at any previ
ous time in the history of the
country. The Yakima Valley
alone wants 1500 to handle the
peach crop which promises to be
especially abundant
It is estimated that the wheat
crop alone in the four states will
be fully 65,000,000 bushels this
season, and to harvest this the
services of more than 40,000
men will be required. The farm
ers of this section say that al
though early in the season, it is
already almost impossible to se
cure help although large wages
are being paid.
Lillian McDonald who, it will
be remembered by many, played
the leading part in East Lynne
while in this city about five
years ago, is playing the lead and
managing the company which is
to present " The Girl From the
Golden West" in this city next
Wednesday evening.
CONVENTION
ILL ATTENDED
Nearly all Members of
Unions Present.
COUNTY UNION ORGANIZED
County Officers Elected May
Keep Representative on
Board of Trade. '
The official call for a County
Convention of the Farmer's Ed
ucational and Co-operative Union
of America was responded to
quite loyally. Nearly all of the
members of the five local unions
attended the convention held in
this city last Saturday. It was
decided to join the five unions
into a county union and the fol
lowing county officers were el
ected; Wm. Wehrli, Pres;H.S.
Edwards, Vice.Pres; P.H.Steph
enson, Sec and Treas; Jacob
Larch of Clem, Geo. McLaughlin
of Arlington, H. D. Randall and
W. S. Wade of Olex, C has. Lil
lie and Geo. B. Dukek of May
ville, W. J. Mariner of Blalock
and E. C. Rogers of this city
were elected as directors. The
matter of keeping a represent
ative on the Board of Trade in
Portland to keep the farmers in
touch daily with the prices of
gram was quite generally and
favorably discussed. The local
union is buying a large quantity
of wood and coal to be delivered
next fall.
Livestock shipments to the
Portland markets for the month
of May are far ahead of the
same statistics for May of last
year, Bhowing the growing im
portance of that market Par
ticularly is a big gain shown in
hog?, which is indeed gratifying.
A total of 515 cars of livestock
of all kinds were received at the
stockyards during May of this
year. 1 he increase in hogs re
ceived was over 7000 head. The
O. R. & N. has decided to place
in commission a regular stock
train service, operating twice a
week from Huntington to Port-
and and way points. This will
begin June 21 and will be a
great convenience to the stock
raiser. Many of the fanners in this
vicinity have been busy cutting
rye for hay during the past
week. The stand is, in general,
most excellent

Game From Fossil
KiKES THREE OUT OF FOUR
Almost Errorless Came by Club
Plays .Heppner here Sun
day, June 26th.
The Condon Ateletic Club team
and the Fossil team met on the
local diamond last Sunday for
the fourth game of the season
between these teams. The
game was close and highly in
teresting up to the sixth inning
when a batting rally on the
part of the Club team assisted
by numerous errors by the Fos
sil players, put the former well
in the lead and when the game
ended the score stood 10 to 3
with the big end hanging to the
belt of the Club team. The
Club team played an almost er
rorless game in the field and
while their work with the stick
is still not up to the standard it
shows much improvement
Burns was easily the batting he
ro of the day, getting three long,
safe drives out of four times up.
ChiX Fitzmaurice's -work be
hind the bat was another fea
ture in spite of his injured fin
ger, 'Shang" Laughrige dem
onstrated his ability to keep his
side of the garden clean of hits.
Ashenfelter handled the horse
hide for the visitors and Hart
shorn was on the mound for the
Club team. The attendance was
not as large as at the former
games but those piesent display
ed their loyalty.
The club team will play the Hep
pner team on the local diamond
a week from next Sunday, June
25. On the following Sunday
the Heppner team will play a
return game on the local dia
mond. Everyone should make
it a point to be present at the
game on June 26.

MRS. C. H.McVICKER
Mrs Glenn ILMcVicker passed
over the last hill of life's journey
to the beautiful! Valley where all
is rest and peace, on Monday.
June 13. 1910. at Excelsior
Springs, Missouri, after an ill
ness of three months duration.
janie Lousse Hartshorn was
bom in Wright County, Iowa in
1889, came to this city with . her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. B.
Hartshorn, in 1902 and resided
here until March, 1908. when.
with her ' parents, she" went to
Iiamoni, Iowa. She was married
on Dec 25, 1909 to Glenn IL Mc-
Vicker whom she leaves, with
her father, mother, two sisters
and three brothers to mourn her
loss.'
Her life was gentle but like
the still waters it was deep.' In
her heart of hearts she carried
those she loved, and her hand
was never weary, her step never
failed in ministering to, caring
for, waiting upon those "who
were in any way dependent upon
her. She was a faithful member
of the Latter Day Saints Church,
not only to her Church but just
as faithful in believing it to be
her duty as a Christian to do the
will of the Master at all times.
Gently, almost unconsciously,
she helped those coming in con
tact with her to strive for, if not
to attain, the realization of her
own high ideal The loss of the
strong influence of this loving
heart which gave of its gifts so
generously will long be felt in
her home and among those who
knew her.
IITROL
GRAIN OUTPUT
Preliminaries have been com
pleted for the consummation of
a gigantic plan in which the
grain growers of eastern Oregon
and Washington, north and cen
tral Idaho, and western Monta
na are greatly interested and
which is expected to be of great
benefit to them by placing them
in a position to sell their wheat
at the greatest profit by eliminat
ing the middlemen.
At a meeting held last week
the Fanners' Warehouse Associ
ation of the Inland Empire, con
trolling approximately 40 per
cent of the 60,000,000 bushels of
wheat annually harvested in the
district referred to, was formal
ly organized under the direction
of officers of the Farmers' Edu
cational and Co-operative Union
of America. , The immediate ob
ject of the plan is to pool the
grain grown in this part of the
northwest and sell it in lots of
100,000 bushels and Upward di
rect to millers and exporters,
charging the growers not more
than one cent a bushel for hand
ling and marketing the grain. ,
