ed that Noah was the first advertiser.
He advertised the food and 1t came
through all right. The fellow who
laughed at his advertisement drowned.
Ever since Noah's time the advertiser
has been prosperous while the other
fellow had been struggling TO keep his
head above the flood Of disaster.
The attorneys for b. Giede, defendant
In the Strickland-Giede sheep trespass
case, have succeeded In carrying the
case to the state supreme court and the
case will come to an end al Pendleton at
the May session Of court next spring.
The witnesses and jurors no doubt think
their fees are long time coming. but in
cases Of this kind there appears to be no
other alternative but 10 wait until the
suit Is ended.
As per advertisement, Ed Smith Of
The Dalles organized dancing school
at Condor last Saturday evening. I'm
til further notice he will teach the ladies
every Saturday afternoon In the hall
from A to Q o'clock and in the evening
all who desire to attend the school-gen-
tlemen aud ladies--are invited to attend.
This Is an excellent chance to learn to
dance--and goodness knows some OF
them need IL.
! A number Of the citize ms Of this dis
trict met Saturday and voted 6.mili
tax and also mills to pay the inter
est due on bonds, making total Of IN
mills. This tax will bring in about 5000,
as the taxable property In the district
amounts TO about $4,000. As there Is
considerable Indebtedness incurred, we
believe it would have been better to vote
a l0-mill tax while they were at it, but
1t 10 too late now.
/ A private letter from Hon. J. T..
David at Salem concludes thus: "The
hold-up still continues, with no pros
pect Of any change. am sorry for the
taxpayers. for 1 thought would be able
TO 90 on record as voting for reduction
OF expenses. which means TO our citizens
equally as much as 10 elect senator.
While IL Ia one Of the highest duties OF
the legislature TO elect senator, IL IL
equally Of rs much importance to have
an economical administration OF state
affairs, and neither can be done II mem
bers-elect refuse TO qualify and proceed
TO business"
Believing that II would not be to the
best interests OF this county TO annex
