Official Paper for Gilliam County.,. Condon National Bank Building.... VOl 4 XXII CONDON. OREGON. FRIDAY. JULY 21. 1911. NO. 1 iiiifiii C L HOLDS SP MEETN6 In Regard to Restrain ing Order Brought. DECIDE TO PAY NO ATTENTION TO SUIT Condon Electric Co. Wishes To Offer Bid On Distillate Council Has Asked For Bids. A special meeting of the city council was called on Saturday evening by Mayor Wood and it was the first meeting held in sev eral weeks at which a full coun cil was present. Mayor Wood Btated the object of tho meeting as boing to decide what tho city should do in regard to the suit which has been started in the federal court by .Abel. After much discussion it was decided to pay no attention to the suit as tho permanent restraining or der, which is asked for, will have no bad effects and the expense of hiring counsel would be much greater than to suffer a default. J. F. Keisacher, repre senting the Condon Electric Co., s)id that the company wished to offer a bid on furnishing distill ate and the matter being brought before tho council, Williams moved and Campbell seconded that the city issue a call for bids on distillate to be delivered at the Hay Creek plant for both cash and warrants, the bids to be handed in to the Recorder prior to the next regular meeting of the council, the council reserv ing the right to reject any and all bids. The motion carried unanimously. It was decided that F. E. Hennet and J. W.Hire be employed to haul the car of distillate now on hand to the city pumping station. It was moved by Campbell, seconded by Hire, that the council adjourn. Condon's Climate Is Best. During the past week the res idents of this city have been get ing a slight dose of the heat from which the people of the eastern states have been suffer ing. All records show, however, that Condon has had the best of it. , The thermometer has regis tered 112 in Pendleton, over 100 in Hood River. 106 at Roseburg, pver 100 in Western Oregon cit ies and these figures are not as hiuh as the records of ths east, but the government thermome ter in this city has registered on ly 96 degrees as the highest tem perature and this was at ten o' clock Sunday morning. Don't forget that the Ameri can Theatre Shows a complete change of pictures every Satur day and Sunday nignts. A nice place to spend a pleasant hour. Show Starts 8 p. m. Now that the distillate ques tion is settled, the council can give some of their attention to other necessary questions, for instance, the unsanitary condition of many of the back streets and, in some caseB, the main streets. That they need inprovement is indisputable. Celebrates FUtietk Birthday. Last Sunday waa J. A. Mc- Moriss' fiftieth birthday and quite a number of his friends gathered at his home to help him celebrate the occasion. Music and reminiscences were highly enjoyed by those present. The most enjoyable feature of the occasion was, however, the re freshments which were served by Mrs. McMorris. On Monday evening the boiler of the Inland Limited sprung a leak and the train had to I left about four miles north of town, there being barely enough water left in the boiler to bring in the lone engine. The passengers rode in on the engine and the first class mail was also brought in. , A new engine was brought up from The Dalles and the old en gine was taken out on Tuesday morning to the shops to be thor oughly overhauled. GO NATIONAL BANK PAYS FOR DISTILLATES-TAKES WARRANTS immense Saving to City and Taxpayers and Brings Relief to City Council. The vexatious distillate question is settled at last, and, to the majority at least, settled satisfactorily. The Condon National Bank has voluntarily agreed to pay the necessary cash for the distillate used by thl'&ty, and freight on same, and in return will accept the equivalent in city warrants. It is the solution of the problem, w$H save the city a large sum each year and the Condon National Bank should be and is given much credit for inaugurating a move which means so much each year to the city and taxpayers. The city can now buy its distillate direct at cash prices and all this without giving anyone a chance to vent their spleen by asking for restraining orders. Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Moore and familof the Mayville country were in this city Monday morn ing on their way to Portland to remain a few weeks. Mr. Moore reports that his crop this year will from present indications be a very fair average crop. ICEPLAlT FULL OPERATION The Condon Meat Co's ice plant has been in full operation for about three weeks. .They have manufactured about : one ton each day and besides supply in the demand now have on hand seven or eight tons of ice. The' plant is run night and day, 4n- eluding Sunday, on account of j the fact that .should the plant be allowed to stop it would take at least a day before the tempera ture could be reduced to the ne- cessary point Forty-five cakes of ice, each weighing 100 pounds are frozen at one time and the plant is operated by a gasoline engine. Besides freezing the water, the plant keeps the tem perature of the large storage rooms below the freezing point The company delivers ice to Rock Creeek, Mikkalo, and other points outside of Condon. Any amount of ice can be delivered at any time and it is good ice, not as generally supposed, treated with chemicals. The company will probably install a good filter in the near future and expect to boil or condense all water used so that the ice cannot be other than absolutely pure in every way'. The inspection of this plant is worth a few minutes of anyone's time and is a credit to Condon and Gilliam County. Doggerel on a Dog. y A dog sat out in the midnight chill and howled at the beaming moon; his knowledge of music was strictly nil and his voice was out of tune. And he howled and howled as the hours went by, while dodging the bricks we threw, till the moon was low in the western sky, and his voice was -split in two. And there wasn't a thing at which to howl over which a pup should weep, and the course of the dog . was wrong and foul, for people were wild to sleep. There are plenty of men like that blame fool hound, disturbing the country with senseless sound the pess imist's doleful song. " John W.
