federal Court
Is LIKELY To BE
Held in RENO
ATTORNEYS OF RENO WILL ASK
CONGRESSMAN BARTLETT
TO INTRODUCE BILL

The lawyers of Reno are all sign
ing petition in the Office of Mack
& Green, which will soon be for
warded to United States Senator
Newlands and Nixon and Congress-
man Bartlett, praying them to have
congress pass a bill providing for
the federal judge of this district
to hold court in Reno and Elko
as well as in Carson.
The petition does not ask that
the federal court be moved from
Carson to Reno or Elko, but that
the federal Judge hold sessions of
court each term in both Reno and
Elko as well as in Carson. The
practice of the federal Judge hold
ing court in different parts of his
district is carried on in other states
and the lawyers say that this prac-
tice should be in vogue here.
The petition already contains
nearly 40 names and when all the
lawyers have signed up it will be
circulated among the business men
of the city and also among the law
yers and other citizens of Elko.
The petition states that by the
federal court holding court in Re-
no and Elko as well as in Carson
the federal government would be
saved much expense as would the
attorneys and the litigants. The
Reno attorneys are not doing this
to hurt Carson, but claim that il
would be just move and earnestly
beg of Nevada representatives in
congress to do all they can to have
this provided for.

cate their children, as the educa-
tional advantages are excellent
Condor has five churches that
are holding regular services.
In connection with one of these
churches is reading room, con-
tanning many volumes, which is
a special delight to the boys and
young men, who are, respective
ly, organized into Clubs.
An Athletic Club is an organiza-
tion Of which any town or city
can be justly proud. The Con-
don Athletic Club has a member
ship Of many young and progress
sive men of high moral standing.
This Club has done a great thing
toward the upbuilding of Condor
and is now preparing to do some
aggressive work.
Condor has a $50, 900 court
house, two large general depart
ment stores, two national banks.
two newspapers. several confec-
tionery stores, two drug stores.
two jewelry stores, grocery store
and bakery, exclusive gents fur

tablishments. three livery and

plant, telephone system, city wa
ter works all Of which, are wor-
thy of commendation. Improve
ments of various kinds are being
made continually and many new
dwelling houses are being erect
ed.
The cost Of living is an item
worth considering. An excep-
tionally good quality of water is
secured from a large spring
about five miles north west of
the city, and is plentiful. The
nearby mountains are covered
with an abundance of timber,
therefore wood and lumber are
secured at a very moderate
cost. Vegetables, fruit, eggs,
butter, meat, etc., owing to an
abundance, are a great deal
cheaper than in larger places.
Since the railroad has come to
Condor, not only food has been
reduced in price, but all produce
likewise. While vacant houses
are somewhat scarce in this city,
rent is moderately low. Ten
dollars here will rent a house
that would cost much more in
the larger cities. Business and
resident lots are sold at reason
able prices.
A word about the people will not
be amiss. They are loyal, hos
pitable, generous-just the kind
of people that make successful
communities. The business men
are very progressive, and are ad-
ding their full quota toward the
development of every industry.
The knocker. who is a detriment
to any district, is not among us,
and the good people of this city
extend you an invitation to come
and live here where the possibili-
ties and advantages are great.

"Cilliam County, The Land Of
Opportunity"

Gillian County, which at the
present time offers golden oppor-
tunities to the home-seeker, is
situated in Eastern Oregon on
the south bank of the Columbia
River, one hundred and twenty
five miles from Portland. Since
the farmers are just learning to
get the best results from the rich
soil, Gillian County has proved
to have vast resources and
wealth untold. This territory
is practically a new country and
land is now selling at an ex-
tremely low price. The lands
are now productive to an extent
not understood by the farmers,
and when several great irriga-
tion projects are carried out, so
that thousands of acres will be
irrigated, their section will have
a reputation for producing re-
gion that is excelled only by q
few countries. No other section
offers such sure inducements to
the home-seeker, who, as there
is some government land open
to settlers, can for a few dollars,
get a good start.
The Climate of this section
of Oregon is favorable. There
is always sufficient rainfall to in
sure good crops. During the
winter months there are only a
few days that reach the zero
point. Mild winters and moder-
ate summers are the rule in Gil
liam County. The climate is in
.ducive to good health and the
nights are always cold enough to
insure a refreshing sleep. No
disease in this section of Oregon
need be feared by the home-seek-
er.
Gillian County is composed of
a broad, rolling plateau, broken
here and there by ravines and
draws. These are of great inn
portanee to the rancher as they
furnish cheap pasturage. As a
.home-seeker is riding along the
sandy railroad near Arlington, he
does not want to get the idea
that all of Gillian County is the
same kind Of soil, for such is not
the case. He must get out on
the plateau before he forms an
idea. There is no sand and on
the thousands of acres there
will be found only a very small
amount of rocks.
