Since the advent of the Big
Christmas Edition last Friday
afternoon the Globe office has
been recipient of many fine and
appreciated compliments for the
work done on that excellent
number. Several hundred extra
copies were mailed from this
office. Others were mailed by
our many friends and subscrib
ers bringing the total up to 1,000
copies. The advertising value
of this edition alone is inestim
able, sufficient to say that at
least 5000 pairs of eyes will scan
its column in search of inform
ation regarding the county and
town. A live and up -to -date
newspaper can do much for the
UDbuildine of anv city and if
Condon and Gilliam County do
not receive their full share of
the increase in DODulation and
developments it will be no fault
. of the Globe's.
The Oregon Agricultural Coll
eee will commence its annual
special short courses for farmers
on January 3 and the instruction
to be offered this year is prob
ably the best since these courses
were started several years ago
Experts in the various branches
have been secured and the
special work will extend over a
period of six weeks.
ESSAY ON GILLIAM COUNTY
By John Dunn
Gilliam Co. ha3 long since
gained for itself the distinction
of being the "Land of Opportun
ity."
It is situated in the eastern
cart of Oregon. The typogra
phy might be said to be rolling
or table lands permeated m van
ous directions by various can
vons. and beautiful streams
Although one of the smallest
Counties of Oregon in point of
area, it is a land of big things
iri other respects.
In 1866 the first permanent
settlers began to straggle in.
stout of frame and heart, clean
. of conscience, adventurous, but
full of Durnose were these men
and women who here made
themselves humble homes and
began the slow and toilsome
task of civilization.
TVipv flowed and rearied add
ing little by little to cultivated
areas, buildings, livestock and
progeny. They built rude
school houses and churches,
they had plenty of necessities
hut no luxuries. They endured
' manv hardships, but enjoyed a
healthful, hopeful, and simple
life amontr natures profusions
In the lonir summer days the
soft breezes fanned into motion
the tall bunch crass and heavy
headed vellow grain and in the
dark but mild winter the cabin
firelight flashed out in the even
ing on gumboots, rifle and spina
in or wheel.
So they toiled, suffered and
rejoiced while hewing out the
foundation stone of Gillim Co.
Some yet remain to entertain
us with tales of the early days,
and to wonder at Time's trans
formation. But ere long the
lieht will have passed from the
last eyes that looked out over
the "Land of Opportunity."
Farming is the greatest 'in
dustry of the county at the pres
ent time and in the various
phases always will be. The
farms at the present time con-
sist of holdings from 160 to 3000
acres, the average ranch having
nhoiit 320 acres.
The principal product of the
farm is wheat which is raised in
abundance, the fertile soil yield
ing an average of from 20 to 50
bushels tier acre.
The larirest croD in the history
of the county was in 1907 giving
Condon, the county seat, the
distinction of being the largest
primary wheat shipping point in
the United States.
A reduction of the size of
farmland greater diversity of
crops both of which are possible
and rational will make Gilnam
County one of the most densely
Douulated sections in Oregon,
Taking every feature of this
County into consideration it
offers exceptional advantages to
every class of humeseekers.
Favored not only by climatic
and other physical conditions
the district possesses the char
actor of soil which does not wear
out. Throughout the county the
earth is composed of volcanic
ash, deep and fertile. It holds
that peculiar characteristic un
known in the east of retaining
moirturein the sub-strata, and
while the surface may be dry
the roots are plentuully nour
ished, notwithstanding appear
ances to the contrary.
Severe storms, destructive to
life and property are unknown.
It is the one spot where natural
conditions are ideal and where
one may feel the warm south
winds of the winter season and
the cool western winds in sum
mer,
No where are soil and climate
better adapted to guarantee
large and speedy returns to
capital seeking investment
Gilliam County offers superior
inducement to the immigrant
whether he possesses money or
not. for the moneyed man will
find ample opportunity for safe
investment, and the moneyless
man will find nature with all her
varied capabilities ready to re
spond to the touch of the toiler's
hand
If you want to profitably in
vest money or if you want such
a home as Mother Nature has
provided for her children who
are willing to work, come to
this region of Opportunity
If you want to spend some
money in the line of stock or
land speculation, come to Gilliam
County. If you want to be a
resident of the "Wheat City" of
Eastern Oregon, come to Con
don the one town which is ex
ceptionally blessed with educa
tional advantages having a
splendid High School modern
and well equipped Si3ters Acad
emy and good Grammer School
The Star of Empire is still
wendine its way westward
The ever increasing population
of the eastern and middle states
is constantly augmenting com
petition and the struggle for a
livlihood becomes more tense as
the density of inhabitants in
crease.
The realization that greater
opportunities await boys in the
far west compels the reiteration
of Horace Greely's advice, "Go
West Young Man."
The present rate of influx
from the east is an indication
that Gilliam County will house
and home thousands of people.
