The hard times have forceO ne"
style among country editors, and many
Of them wear a belt instead Of suspen-
ders. When they get word from home
, that there Is nothing for dinner they
siniply tighten the belt another notch
and feel too full for utterance.

For various reasons, Condor will not
celebrate this Fourth, after all. Our
band has not prscticed any this sum-
mer and could not get In practice In that
time and the death Of Claude Henshaw
leaves vacancy in the band that would
be impossible for new man TO fill In
such short time. 0nr people will be
content TO yisit the neigh boring celebra-
tions this year.
Hon. W. w. Steiwer, Of Fossil, Gil
liam county, ex-state senator, is regis
tered at the Imperial. He says that the
large sales OF cattle and the increased
, price obtained and the large wool clip
are making good times In Gillian. The
grain outlook 10 also exceedingly good,
and, II the hot winds do not prevail TO a
) great extent, there will be an abundant
rvest.--Friday's 0regonian.
The present prices are very encourage
ing to cattlemen. The poorest scrub In
the herd is now bringing better prices
than the best stock on the ranges did
two years ago. But the question is,
what will the next few years bring
forth?' In some instances even calves
have been sold and the entire brand
shipped out of the country. No wonder
young calves are in such demand.
Rev. Bade writes from Weston that
Rev. A. r. Odds viii arrive at Condor

gardless Of their religious beliefs. Rev.
Bade will take the place Of Rev. 0lds at
Weston until after the revival here.

the bones Of the leg about two inches
above 1t. DIR. Hollister reduced the
fracture, and Husted that night express
ed his determination TO start home next
day, but changed his mind and will re-
main several days.-Dalles Chronicle.
California is going to force wide tires
upon Its farmers, with threats Of fearful
punishment. The new Law goes into

width than specified in the law shall be
tined $25 to $500, or imprisoned 25 days
or elk months. Tires are to be from
three inches TO six inches wide, accord
. ing to size Of axle.
For the last couple OF months 1t seems
that each week from half dozen TO q
dozen GLOBES turned up missing in the
postoffice here, which causes consid-
erable complaint among our subscrib-
ers. To make sure that no mistake is
made in the GLOBE office we will here
after compare lists each week after the
names are written on the papers. We
did that last week, but half dozen or
more turned up missing in the postoffice,
, just the same. Any Of our subscribers
+ who fail to get their paper regularly will
do us favor by reporting the fact at
this Office.
, w. j. Bryan has concluded to make
speech at Pendleton in the afternoon of
July 18th. A tent will be put up large
enough to seat 10000 people, and the
Ry. companies will reduce the rates
! from all Oregon, Idaho and Washington
!, points. A number OF Gillian county
ties will be there TO hear the "next
president Of the United States'--as he
Is introduced everywhere. His next
speech will be at Salt Lake. Even John
Wanamaker, the great Pennsylvania re-
publican statesman. says 1t would be as
: easy to keep the earth from revolving as
to keep Bryan from reaching the presi-
dents chair in 1900.
