the second day was won by Wade

Beenon with Hoover of Fossil
second.. The football game this
afternoon was won by Mayville
by the low score of 5 to 0. This
is the first team ever turned out
by the high school in this city
and the majority of the team
had never seen a game. Their
work was brilliant in many re
spects however and with prac
tice and experience this team
will set a high mark for the fol
lowing teams to reach.
The officers and directors of
the fair may feel proud of the
results obtained through their
well directed efforts, for the dif
ferent exhibits were far above
the average.

CONDON WILL SEND
TO TRI COUNTY FAIR IV
Will Decide on Location for Fair-Con-
don Logical Point-Meeting to be
in Arlington ; October 31st.
A mewling is to be held in Arlington on Tuesday, October 31, to de
cide upon the location of a tri-county fair to be held next year in which
Gilliam, Morrow and Sherman will be fntereited. A demonstration train
aent out by the O. A. College will sjno be in Arlington on that date. The
date for this meeting waa originally set for October 17, but ' we have
been advised by D. O. Lively of Portland, of the postponement. A spe-
'. cial car has eeen secured by the Commercial Club of Portland for the
use of its membeas in attending this meeting and we are informed that
It car will be well filled with prominnt Club members when it arrives
at Arlington. The Portland business man realize the great possibilities
of this section and are very enthusiastic over this movement. The bus
iness men of this city are much more interested and should' be even
more enthusiastic. About fifteen have promised to attend this meeting
and this number will no doubt be doubled when the date arrives. This
fair can be secured for Condon and nothing should be left Undone to
bring it here. As stated before by this paper, this is the logical place
for such a fair. Should the business men of this city decline to co-operate
and allow this chance to go by oh account of petty jealousies It will
show a lack of proper interest In the upbuilding of this county.' Every
one should make arrangements to attend this meeting at Arlington on
the 31st and secure this fair for Condon. ; ,
OLD FOLKES CON
CERTED SUCCESS
... r
Ye Olde Folkes Concerte which
was given in the American -The-
atre on last Friday night by the
Ufio Igo Club of the Congrega
tional church was a great success
both as pleasing entertainment
and in a financial way. The
Club cleared something over $26
which will be used in church
work. The old songs which were
sung seemed io please the audi
ence immensely. Two of the
costumes, at least, deserve
special mention and they are the
dresses worn by Miss Booth and
Mrs. Bond, both dresses being
over 100 years o'.d. Mrs. Thies
sen as Juanita, was very good
and her solo was heartily encor
ed. The readings given by Miss
Tillotson and Mrs. Ferris were
highly appreciated. The work
and costumes of Miss Parsons,
Mrs. Stephenson and Mrs. Hol-
len in "Cousin Jedediah" were
very good. Ralph Potts made

PRECINCT LINES
THE; FIXED
The date for establishing pre
cinct lines in the counties of the
state is a full year in advance of
the general election, and some of
the county courts of the . state
are liable to be caught napping
next month. Section 2 of the di
rect primary law, it will be re
membered, was amended so as
to require that all things pertain
ing to elections shall be the same
as they were before the date for
the general election was changed
from June to November. When
the general elections were held
in June the precinct lines had to
be established in November pro
ceeding. Therefore i lhe same
date must be observed for estab
lishing the precinct lines this
year. This is the fir$t'time in
the state that the connty courts
have had to establish these lines
one full year before the election.
The 12 months beginning next
month will be a "continual round
of pleasure" for parties person-

cilmen Burns, Williams, Hire,
Campbell and Portwood were

minutes of the former meeting
were read and on motion, ap
proved. Hire then introduced
ordinance No. 59 which in effect
w.-u an ordinance to reduce the
saloon license of this city from
$800 to $600 per year. Williams
immediately protested the pass
age of the ordinance, saying that
the city, in its present financial
condition, cannot afford to lose
any revenue from any source.
He left the council chamber be
fore the ordinanance was put to
a vote stating that he would op
pose its final passage. The ordi
nance was then read in full for
the first time. Hire then moved
and Burns seconded that it be
read a second time and on call
ing the roll the following votes
were cast: Campbell, no; Burns,
Hire and Portwood, yes. The
motion was declared carried and
BUY PARTY FOR TWO.
Several of the teachers and
young people of the city partici-
pated in a birthday party given
Monday evening at the honie of
Mr. and Mrs. II. A. Hartshorn
in honor of Miss Booth, teacher
in the public schools, and Roy
Sheldon. The evening was
spent in playing musical games
and with vocal and instrumental
music. Refreshments were serv
ed and those present departed at
eleven o'clock for their various
residences.
The Daisy Club was entertain
ed on Monday evening at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J.H.Bond.
The evening was pleasantly and
profifably spent in arranging the

ths. Games were also enjoyed.
Delicious refreshments were ser
ved. J. E. Jenkins of Fossil shipped
a car of cattb on Monday from
the local yards to the Portland
market
ally interested in votes and vot
ers. Precinct lines will be es
tablished in November, registra
tion uooks will be opened in Jan
uary, the primary elections will
pe held in April, and the general
election in November. Not only
is the date of fixing the precincts
far removed from the primary
nominating elections, but these
elections are extraordinarily far
from the general election.
At the next April primary el
ections the people of Oregon will
have to select their delegates to
the national presidential party
conventions, express their pref
erence for United States senator
to succeed Jonathan Bourne,
nominate candidate for secretrry

time. It is now filed with the
Recorder and will be read a
third time and placed on its final
passage at the next meeting of

proposition to the council that he
would do all labor and hauling
necessary to put a crosswalk on
Main street at the corner of the
First National Bank if the city
would furnish the material. The
council accepted his offer and the
walk has already been put in.
