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. Kern reports that he
has been engaged by John Walk
er to have full charge of the
kitchen. John is famous all over
this county as being a first-class
chef. He has been a reader of
the Globe for several years and
says each isxuo is the same to
him as a visit from a friend.
I Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Butler left
oh Saturday last for The Dalles

tice law in that city.

"Across the Continent"
There is a striking significance
a wealth of the romantic atmos
phere of the awakening west,
and a vivid, elaborate picturing
of the wilderness responding to
the genius of western construct
ive civilization in the beautiful
book written by Isabella Carpen
ter Kendall, entitled "Across the
Continent," a copy of which has
just come to the Globe's desk. It
is the first book of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound Rail
way, and as a luxuriously design
ed and printed volume descrip
tive of the wonderlands between
the Mississippi and the Pacific
Ocean it compels attention as a
superb work of art Its chief
significance lies in its'demonstra
tion of the scenic grandeur and
magnificence of the 1,400 miles
of new railway through new ter
ritory in the prolific west
