Of great benefit 10 the town and
county Rnd'will, il the citizens OF
Condor aud vicinity viii unite in
giving the organization the support
and encouragement il merits. No
section Of country can attain its
highest state Of development with
eut some organization on the part
Of it's citizens aud thoughtful men
IN this city aud county begin tn
realize that the time has arrived
for united effort in bringing grand
old Gillian county out of the
shadows Of the old regime aud into
the prominent position which her
rich and varied resources entitle
her TO occupy in the newer and
greater Oregon.
When the call was issued for the
first meeting to perfect an organi'
zation there were doubtless many
citizens who thought, If they did
not say, that it was no use to at
tempt such an organization at this
time. Similar efforts had been
made in the past only to come to
naught, The town is going ahead
oil right as it is and We might as
we'll let we'll enough alone. Even
the warmest friends of the project
may have had misgivings but if
they had they didn't say so and
the lively manner in which the
club was organized and the active
interest shown in every question of
public concern which was brought
up at that time quickly dispelled
all fears that the people of Condor
were not ready to take their places
alongside the progressive citizens of
other up-to-date towns of the state
in an earnest effort to advance the
material interests of the state,
county and city.
Two matters of great Importance
10 Condor were broached at the
first meeting and, forthwith, CON-
mittees of prominent citizens were
appointed to investigate and make
reports to future meetings of the
club. We refer to the water ques-
tion and to the matter of necessary
changes in the city charter. Every
body has realized for months that
the town must have a better water
supply and that in order to keep
up with the rapid growth of the
city certain changes in the charter
are absolutely necessary. But no
one was in a position to successful
ly take the initiative in these mat
ters and so they were allowed to
drag along until the Commercial
Club was organized. Even before
the club was permanently estab-
lished these matters were taken up,
and in such a decisive, business
like way that it was at once patent
chat the people wanted action
at the earliest opportunity. All
that was needed was an organiza-
ton. That has now been supplied
and it devolves on every citizen to
give it his material and moral sup
port in all things it may un-
dertake looking to the betterment
of Condor and Gillian county.
Let every one stay by the CONNER
cial club. Let's push ahead and
pull ahead with a big boost alto
gether for the advancement of Con-
don. United we can just as easily
have strictly first-class, up-to-
date city as to pull at variance and
have country cross-road village
and the cost will be no greater for
the formar than for the latter.
Condor has never had boom and |
many citizens say they don't want
to see one and while this club is not
q boom organization its members
seem to have decided to go in for a
good town even at the risk of get |
ting boom. whats the Diff" say
they. "We'll take a long chance
on the boom and if it comes in
spite of us and makes city out of
a small town and brings trade and
advances the price of property and
cleans up the streets and fixes the
sidewalks and puts in a gravity
water system and builds a sewer
and does lot of other things that
we want done we will take our
medicine"
Stay with the club.
