Cd h fIl ell Europe this yeaF, and spend
ti00DO0,OOO in gold, wotid be wiser tc
have stayed at home or have visited
some Of the interesting places In their
own country. There are thousands Of
Americans wandering over the Cont.
ncnt who know little Of the county next
10 that in which they we're born and
nothing Of the adjoining state.
i Among those from this county who at
tended the Middle Oregon Baptist Asso-
citation held at Mitchell from June 1ltb
TO the i4th are: Mrs. David Hamilton,
Mrs. /. Meador and J. w. Brown ol
Fossil, Rev. Lawson and family and +.
Simmons Of Mayyille, Mrs. Morgan
Ward Of Lone Rock. About 70 delegates
and visitors were present. The next an
nual meeting will be held at Msyville.
i DIR. Hogan expects to leave here about
the first week In July TO be absent one
month at Fossil, TO take charge Of the
extensive practice Of DR.. Howard, who
has concluded TO take months much
needed rest and visit his relatives in
Washington and elsewhere. Dr. Hogan
will not realize much OF rest in this
change, as DR.. Howard's practice is very
large and requires much riding and hard
work.
Billy Keys writes from Hamilton,
Mont, that he will start home about
July LIST, having finished his work with
the company. He spayed 400 head Of
cattle and lost only one, which shows
that he understands his business. Jack
Glasgow has . good position with same
stock company and desires the GLOBE to
say that he will return TO Condor about
Sept. LIST, prepared TO look after bis case
In circuit court.
In America, newspaper man through
the columns OF his journal, has the IL
cense TO designate President Cleveland
as bald-headed lunatic, pot-beIlied
gold bug, a bnll-necked fisherman, etc.,
but when German editor questions the
sanity OF his royal smartness, Emperor
William. be 10 hustled of TO the cooler.
Over 80 editors are now serving terms in
German prisons for criticising their en-
perors.
The difference between lawyers and
publishers IL this: When lawyer pre-
sents good big fat bill to the county
for fees rendered and the courts try TO
cut It down every lawyer in the county
will rice up and swear the charges are
reasonable. But let poor, lean. lank,
hali-starved editor put in bill at half
rates and his fellow publishers will rise
up and call him "robber" with o big
adjective in front Of it.--Times.
Seyenty-nine years ago was the year
without q summer. Frost occurred
every month in the year 1916. Ice form
ed half inch thick in May. Snow fell
to the depth Of three inches in New
York, and also in Massachusetts, In June
Ice was formed Of the thickness Of a
common window glass throughout New
York on the 9th day Of July. Indian
corn was 90 frozen that the greater part
was cut in August and dried for fodder,
and the farmers supplied themselves
from the corn produced in 1916 for the
seed OF the spring of 1917.
1t is true saying that ''it is not al
ways the best man who wins at an elec-
tion." Charley Parrish Of Grant coun-
ty, one Of the best prosecuting attorneys
in Oregon, was defeated at the recent
election BY populist, who scarcely
knows any law. Some of those who OPP
posed him used the argument that If
Parrish remained in that position sever
al years longer he would have half OF
the people OF bis district in the peni-
tentiary. He was terror to the law
breakers and they we're ''too many for
him" ut the polls.
They are having real old 40 times at
Juneau in Alaska. Mr.. McDutfie of
Portland, who has just returned from
there, says the town has 1000 inhabi-
tants and SS saloons. Men, women and
children run all night and sleep in day
time. Gambling houses, dance-halls
and worse are in full blast; all the ho-
tells are crammed full, and steamers are
loaded to the guards with other adven-
turers. To get to the mines from Ju-
neau requires six weeks OF travel on
sledges drawn by hand or by dog teams.
Each party carries six months provis-
ions, sheet iron stove and shipsaw
When they reach the upper Yukon they
cut down trees, whipsaw lumber, build
boate and float down to the mines.
Laborers are getting $40 day with
plenty OF work.
