that before the meeting was
called to order Councilman
Williams made a short talk in
which he expressed his viewg in
regard to his position on the
City 'Council. . He said that
while he did not aspire to the
office he would do what he
could, not in a factional or
political way but to benefit the
taxpayers, the ones who elected
him. He said that if after a
strenuous trial he failed to
accomplish anything he would
resign in favor of someone else.
He further Baid that Condon
had been going backward for
the past few years and asked
the council to stand together in
extricating the city from its
present position. He gave out
as his idea that no councilman
should take his position lightly,
that some council must inaugur
ate some wav to pub the cityr on
a business basis and' if. it were
possible for any council to-do
so it is possible for the present
one. ' , w ,
The Condon Meat Company is

brine and the cold storage pipes
will also be furnished from the
same source, by tms system
they can produce a temperatnre
in the storage room which will
freeze and kep frozen the meat
which is stored there.' When
this system is in running order
the Condon Meat - Company will
have one of the finest meat mar
kets and cold 'storage plants in
all eastern Oregon.
Walter H. Knapp, who has
been visiting in thja cjty atthe
home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H.
Williams,' has 7 decided after

on cities that Condon is the best
he has seen and he wilt open - an
up-to-date cigar store, confec
tionery and pastime" in the, near
future. Mr. Knapp is an ex
perienced man in. this business
having conducted V wholesale
and retail cigar business in
Chicago. . , ' '

SEED GIVEN AWAY
; The 0-WR.&N. Itailroad Co.
have sent to D. T. Tierne, local
gent, 175 lbs of Milo Maize, to
be distributed among the farm
ers of this county. It is desired
by this company that the farm
ers take it and report on the re
sults. . Milo is a crop having a
good commercial value and if it
can be adaptedto the conditions
of the soil, climate, etc., in this
part cf the ittate, it will add just
that much more to the commun
ity's agricultural wealth, and
add to- the prosoerity of the
farmer. - Those who wish to ob
tain booklets containing infor
mation on this crop, how to pre
pare the soil, seeding, etc., may
obtain same by addressing the
United States Department of Ag
riculture, and asking for farm
er's bulletin No. 322, covering
Milo as a dry land crop.
The principal difficulty in rais
ing this crop will be in obtaining
4 crop the first year, but the sec
ond year's crop from Oregon
grown seed, .will of course, be
better adapted to local condi
tions. ""

Congregational Church Notes
On the coming Sunday morn-
ning Dr. Ferris will begin a ser
ies of three sermons based on
the ground of modern Psycholo
gy. Investigation along the

the question of religion from the
human side of the question. The
first sermon will deal with thi3
under the title of "The Psychol
ooyof Religion." The second
sermon will be on "The Psychol
ogyofSoul Healing," and will
deal with the question of how
far the mind .itself tends to rem
edy moral evil when aided by the
will. The third sermon on the
Psychology of bodily healing will
deal somewhnt with the theories
of Christian science and : Mental
science and other philosophies
regarding the physical health.
