Show Upon Certain
Condition!.
A meeting of the Condon Bus
iness Men's Association was held
in Judge Parker's office and the
advisability of holding the Tri
County Fair in Condon next fail
was discussed Tuesday. Nothing
definite was decided because the
business men here wish to hear
what the other counties think of
the proposition and also it is
largely left to the decision,of the
Mayville Fair people. If they
will join in the fair here the
local business men feci that they
can finance it again and make
even a greater success of it this
year than last
Sherman county wants the
other counties to turn over their
fair appropriations to hold the
Tri -County Fair there but it is
not likely that this will be done.
If the fair is located here agnin
no assistance will be asked f rem
the other counties " except exhi
bits, etc. The fair can be put on
here this year at less expense
than before for the reason that
several of the costly improve
ments made last year are per
manent. In regard to the Sunday train
question it was decided that
resolutions be drafted to be pre.
sented,to the railroad company
and also to the railroad commis
sion. G. W. Parman, C. F.
Kennedy and Elmer Montague
were appointed as a committee
to draft the resolutions. A copy
will also be sent to Congressman
Sinnott. The petitions from the
Fossil people are already in.
Mr. and Mrs. Robertson of Ar
lington were here Sunday in their
automobile.
Tickets for "The Ranchman"
are on sale at Graves & Van

John A. McMorris Appointed
Postmaster at Condon by
President Wilson
Faithful Democrat, .Who Has Lived in This County lor Twenty-Six
Yean, Will Make Idea Postmaster. '
J. A; McMorris has been ap
pointed by President Wilson as
postmaster for Condon and altho
he has received no official notice
as yet it is reasonably certain
that he will get the place. His
appointment gives general satis
faction to the patrons of the off
ce. Mr. McMorris says that if
he gets the position his first rule
will be "A Square Deal to Every
Patron," and when he says that
it means that it will be followed
to the letter.
26 ytr la thU county. ,
John McMorris came to Gill
iam county in May, 1887. He
taught school in the county for
twelve years, was county sur

Hard Time Dakce Increases .
Local Baseball Team fond
The hard time ball given in
the skating rink last Friday eve
a'ng was not as well attended as
was expected tut quite a sub
stantial addition to the baseball
treasury resulted.
W'
HEN anyone tells you that Gilliam county is too dry,
that the land is not productive, that there are too many
crop failures, etc., just tell them that they do not know
what they are talking about and then prove to their satis
faction that they don't It is easy to prove. There are
farmers in the Ferry Canyon country who report that they
have never had less than eighteen bushels of wheat per
acre and their average in many years of wheat raising was
24 bushels per acre. Does this sound like crop failures?
One of these farmersJias never had less than 20 bushels
per acre and has raised as much' as 45 bushels per acre.
Does this sound like non-productive land or drouth? A
farmer in the Mayville neighborhood ha3 planted twenty
six crops of wheat and has harvested twenty-six good crops.
Does this sound like crop failures? f There are plenty of
other illustrations to offer as proof.

FIRST GAMEOF
SEASON LASTS
TEN INNINGS
Ten innings for the first ball
game of the season in Condon is
a new record and up to the tenth
the game was a hummer, the
score being 3 to 3 until the Fossil
team went to bat in the first
half of the tenth when they ran
in four scores so fast that the
scorekeeper had to call for time.
Fossil started the game with
Hoover on the hill and Hartsell
receiving but Hoover -was re
placed by Rinehart in the seventh
and the change from starboard
to port proved effective in keep
ing the uonaon Batters trom
enough safe connections to pro
duce results. Harry Fitzmaurice
burling for Condon had the dope
on the pellet and kept the hits
scattered and few. The final
score was 7 to 3.. Several
wrangles made the game less in
teresting to the spectators.
