JANUARY 5, 1917 NO. iff as life "mm 1916 EXPORTS FROM CONDON GAIN0VER1915 The records at the local station show that G43 loaded cars were shipped from ths Condon yards during 1916. This exceeds the total shipments of 1915 by C5 car load, although the cars of some produce in 1916 f til far short of 1915. Following is the compari son of shipments for the two years: Loads in 1916 Lottds Id 1915 231 Wheat 252 46 Barley 17 47 Horses 70 44 Hops 64 12 Cattl 102 119 Sheep 60 19 Wool 22 4 Hay Rye 1 4 Emigrant 643 ' 578 The total value of the 1916 shipments, not including the emi grant cars, is approximately $1,513:500. The fact that less wheat was shipped last year than in 1915 is not due to any lack of this grain for the Condon ware houses are full and much' yet to be hauled. The farmers are holding their wheat Had they sold earlier the wheat shipments for 1916 would have far exceed ed those of 1915. In spite of this 1916 has been the record year for Gilliam county as far as ship irents of produce are concerned.
