aid and support of every citizen
in Gillian County and elsewhere
and should not be shelved every
time Congress meets for some
project which is far less merit
orious. AS long as we lay down
and fail to stand for what be-
longs to us we will be pushed to
the rear, and float down stream
like a lot of dead fish and the
live ones win go up and get their
project through.
Gillian county pays her share
of the government taxes and
should receive recognition in
Congress by having her project
started and carried to compile
tion. The people of our district
can make it an issue, and pledge
our government representatives
to work to that end or they will
not support them. What we
need is action and not talk about
it, and the only way to get it is
to make it an issue.
With such a project completed
would come unbounded wealth
to Gillian county. The city of
Arlington, which now has many
unoccupied buildings, would be-
come thriving little city and a
fine shipping and trading point
for the fruit belt. She would
come to her own by virtue of the
fact that she is so located that
she offers excellent advantages
to the people in her locality.
Condor and Mayville would be
benefited by having their wheat
fields and farm products brought
to the attention of the outside
world. They would also secure
the advantages which are caused
by lands that are irrigated, by
virtue of the fact that such lands
naturally draw rain clouds which
hover in the sky and act as a
magnet. The grain fields on
Condor Prarie would also receive
the benefit of the many thousand
gallons of water on these acres,
which naturally would cool the
the hot winds which pass over
this country, and by the time
they reached Condor Prairie
be tempered down to where they
would do little damage. We can
cause this condition if we will
only stand together and work
with that end in view. This ac-
complished, the improved orchard
land in the irrigated belt will
bring as high as $1,000 per acre,
and the wheat fields of Gillian
County will be as certian as the
Palouse farms in Washington,
and with it, it follows as night
the day, that our wheat land will
sell for about $50 per acre with
in five years after the project is
completed.
We are interested in any move
ment which will in any way has
ten the completion of this wor-
thy project, and are very anxious
to see the views of those who
are interested in the up-building
of Gillian County and the coun-
try surrounding it.
Address all communications,
relative to this matter to boxes

DEATH CALLS GRANT WADE
Continued from first page }

young and prosperous merchant
of Condor, Jay Martin Wade,
aged five years, and Doris Wade,
born October Is, 1909.
When mankind enters this
world to make life brighter or
darker. history points back to
those who have been here before
US. Men have come and gone.
Some have been blessed with all
the things that are near and
dear to life. Nothing that wealth
could purchase was denied them;
they knew no trials and tribula-
tions as their desires were graft
fed. But as you look back into
the shadows of life and see those
who have been cast out into the
open forest of the world, and
look upon the struggling mass of
humanity among the briars and
thorns before they are landed in
the garden of plenty, we can see
picture of our departed neigh
Dor and fellow citizen.
In the struggle for a compet-
ence he had been victorious and
was arranging his personal af-
fairs so he might enjoy the fruits
of his hard earned victory. But
as he was about to open the door
to retirement, and walk in and
there enjoy the dearest and most
cherished ambitions of life, and
while he was still in the spring
time eot his life, the master hand,
our Creator from yonder valley,
commanded the bugler in the
Garden of Peace to call those
who were to rest in peace forev-
er, and when the roll was called
on the morning of Feb. 6, 1910,
among them was our beloved
friend and neighbor, Grant
Wade.
He has left US in body but not
in spirit. In years from now,
when his body has turned to
dust from whence it came, we
will remember him, whose pleas
ant countenance and sterling
qualities of heart, have made
their impress on our memories,
and him the friend of those
whom he met. At home he was
loved as a model husband and
father. By his friends he was
known as man who believed in
the doctrine do unto others as
you would that they should do
unto you." Many are those who
have received assistance through
his kind and charitable nature.
His generous heart, his fore
sight and business accumen,
made him what Americans term,
the most honorable station in
life, "A self-made man., and
one that is a credit to the high
er laws of life. May those who
love him, cherish the thought
that he is at rest and delivered
from the exhausting cares of
this world.
Gone before us, 0 our brother,
To the spirit land!
Vainly look we for another
In thy place to stand.
Who shall offer youth and beauty
On the wasting shrine
Of a stern and lofty duty,
With path like thine.
If the spirit ever gazes,
From it's journeying back:
If the immortal ever traces
Ger its mortal track;
Wilt thou not, o brother meet us
Sometimes on our way,
And, in hours of sadness greet us
AS spirit may?
Peace be with thee, O, our
brother,
In the spirit land!

The action In THIS mornings stock
market was as though Wall-st was
