Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1895-12-27

| One of the strongest wind storms ever
felt Ia this section lasted nearly all Of
Sunday night. We have not heard Of
any damage done, except that nearly all
the haystacks In the country suffered
more or less. Hugh Strickland says the
hay Is scattered 80 evenly all over the
country that the only way to gather it
up again Is TO go over the ground with
hay rakes--and everybody knows that
Hugh wouldn't lie about 1t.
A buggy belonging to Mr.. Crane Of
Mayville was left In q. w. Rinehart's
barn at Condor last night. Some evil
disposed reprobate who, it Is presumed
had iancied grievance against Mr..
Rinehart and thinking II was his prop
erty, ruined one Of the wheels by placing
handspike In such a manner as to
break the spokes Of the wheel and also
the axle. The penalty for such mali
cious destruction Of property is very Sc
we're, and il is hoped the guilty party
will be apprehended and heavily fined.
A criminal Of that kind ia too dangerous
TO be allowed TO run at large.
A group Of people we're one evening
discussing the merits Of former pastor,
the weight Of criticism being on the an.
favorable side. AT last one Of the num-
Der remarked: "Well, don't think he
WAS much Of preacher anyway. |
never could get interested In his SER
mons, "and, appealing to an aged Off
cial brother who was present, and from
whom she expected sympathetic an
swer, was Immediately silenced by his
reply as follows: well sister, the
poorest preacher that ever heard could
preach better than can live, and new
er feel like criticising a minister. -
Exchange.
The w. O. w. lodge Of this place will
introduce at It's next meeting--the first
Thursday evening in Jannary--a new
feature, which doubtless will prove very
interesting 10 the members and will
cause them 10 take more interest in at
tending the lodge meetings more regu-
larly. The question, Resolved, That
the government should own the rail-
roads," will he debated by l.. w. Dar-
ling, affirmative, and H. b. Hendricks,
negative. These antagonists will choose
an equal number from the other mem
bers 10 assist them, and it IL gratifying
70 know that this great and yexed ques-
ton will at last be definitely decided.
| w. s. Thompson Of Fossil arrived
! home Monday from bis visit to his par
ents in Los Angeles. He informed us
that flowers Of all kinds are in bloom in
Southern California and that the mar
( ket there Is overstocked With all kinds Of
berries, fruit and garden vegetables.
Another pleasing contrast he could not
help noticing was the ladies' dressed in
white summer costumes, carving para
/ SOILS The thermometer stood at about
so degrees all the time he was there
about like II is here during the months
OF June and July. But with all It's fav-
ored climate, Mr. Thompson thinks it is
the worst place in the world for a poor
man 10 do business. The people gener-
ally are SO wealthy and the country so
well developed that one has to have a
fortune almost in order to get ioothold
there in any kind OF business.
/ The Goldendale Sentinel is alarmed
because the GLOBE gives so much local
news from Arlington. Brother Byars
certainly has queer idea as TO the duty
of local newspaper II he thinks it is a
detriment TO paper to give the news.
The Gi.oBE gives each week not only all
the important news from Condor, but
all over the county. That is what the
people Of this county are most interested
in, and because the GLoRE gives all oi
the local news Of the county every week
Is why ii is read each week by about 3
times more people than any Of the 9th.
er county papers. The rapidity with
which our subscription list is gradually
increasing right along proves that it is NJ
detriment to the paper to give all OF the
county news. It is read by every busi'
ness man and, with very few exceptions
every taxpayer in Gillian, county.
