always gives his patrons better paper
than bis support justifies.
The weather Wednesday was about
the worst we have ever seen in this
country. All day long it showed and
the wind blew terrific hurricane
throughout the day, drifting the snow 8
and 10 feet deep In some places. Over
foot Of snow fell, and today the glor-
ious chinook 10 "getting in Its work"
in fine shape. No one predicts hard
winter and we hope they are right.
Every business man and, with few ex-
ceptions, every taxpayer Of any note in
Gillian county takes the GLOBE. The
few who are not regular subscribers bor-
row the paper from their neighbors and
read II anyway. The GLOBE is read
each week by three times more people
than any other paper published In Gil
liam county. and IL does not have 10
force itself onto its subscribers either.
Our list is bona fide.
A Missouri editor says he has sub
scriber who gets drunk every little while
and invariably insists on paying years
subscription. He has his paper paid
for in advance up TO 1925. We would
like to know II that brand Of whisky
will work backward az well as forward
as we have some delinquent subscribers
that. we would have to keep soaked
about month in order to get their ac-
counts squared up.-Salem Journal.

Probably the most exciting foot-race
ever run in Eastern Oregon was run at
Prineville on Christmas, for $1,000 side.
In addition to this, several thousand
dollars were bet by the racers hackers.
The race was between A. s. Henderson,
(the champion sprinter Of America, and
probably the world, who was under the
assumed name there Of Chas. Hammond}
and Harry Stevens, the professional
who was defeated at Antelope several
months ago by u. NJ. Shut. Hender-
son, OF course, won the race and the $1,000,
The Office OF superintendent Of ed
ucation," an expensive state office, is
one which might very properly be abol-
ished. II san Office not necessary; the
public schools OF the state could be car
ried on just as well without it, and a
very large saving could be effected.
This Office in one way or another costs
the state not less than $4,000 a year,
and the schools would be just as well
without it, These times no Office not
absolutely necessary should be permit
ted to exist. -Oregonian.
Stock Inspector Lewis A. Miller OF
Lone Rock informs the GLOBE that the
number Of sheep in Gillian county is
| I3S, 1888; number OF bands, 6s. There Is
less disease among sheep in this county
than there has been for years, there be-
ing only one band affected with scab,
and they have been carefully dipped
and are almost cured. Mr.. Miller says
sheepmen generally are in better spirits
times SO much as they did year ago.
| Altogether the sheep outlook is growing
brighter right along.
| Frank B. Stevens arrived home Fri.
day from The Dalles, where he and his
wife had been residing since Nov. lst,
and where his wife had been confined to
her bed with sickness for several weeks.
Her life was almost despaired Of for a
week or more aud Was under treatment
OF two of The Dalles' best physicians.
At present she is convalescing and will
soon be able to he out again, we are
glad to state. Mrs. Stevens expects ia
visit her sister at Salem, Mrs. Churchill,
several weeks and will return home to
her husband in February.
A Seattle paper says: That large
number OF book.keepers, clerks, etc., are
out Of work is shown from the fact that
last week commercial firm in this city
placed an ad, in the daily newspaper
one issue, stating that book-keepel
was wanted, and that the business would
not justify paying over 81 a week. Be
