THE EDISON

We want you to try the new
Edison Triumph Phonograph,
with Coygnet horn. It pos
sesses all the advantages of
horns having straight stems
and none of the faults found
in horns with sharply curved
stems. It's conformation per-
mits the unobstructed passage
of sound waves, the most inn
portant feature in a talking
machine horn. It is support
ed at the back with a crane
and when in position is out of
the way, leaving the front of
the phonograph free and clear.
The bell can also be easily
be moved to the right or left,
swinging in an arc of 180 de-
grees. Cygnet horns may be
used on any Edison Fireside,
Standard, Home, Triumph or
Alva Photographs.
The manager of the Red
Cross Co. goes to Portland on
Saturday next to purchase new
goods for their various lines,
and sufficient time will be de-
voted to the careful selection
of the best of the new Edison
records, $50 in all, in the two

upon their arrival we will be
pleased to have everybody
come in and play them, wheth-

CONVERT DESERT
into GARDEN
What irrigation would
do for northern part
of Gillian county,
Why not do it2

At the north end Of Gillian
County between Condor and Ar
lington. Oregon, lies a body of
land, which is devoted to raising
wheat and other products Of the
soil that do we'll without irriga-
ton. This soil is a volcanic ash
Of fine texture and wearing quail
tiles, the kind of land that has
made other sections Of the west
famous, the world over, as fine
fruit raising districts. She has
a climate that is the peer of any
in the northwest. With her al
titude of about 281 feet rising
gradually to about 600 feet near
Shutter Flat and Barnett; end
her protection from heavy winds
makes this an ideal locality for
raising the finest kind of high
class fruit.
On February LIST, this year.
there were two tennis games in
progress at the outskirts of Ar
lington. Any climate in which
this can be done at this time of
the year is certainly ideal for the
raising of fruit and early garden
truck. Why then not advocate
the upbuilding of that locality?
How are we to do it? BY build
ing the John Day irrigation pro-
ject. If this is done, that sec
ton of Gillian county will be
another Yakima or Wenatchee
which has gained a world wide
reputation for raising fine apples.
We care not where you may go
you cannot find a country that
will surpass the territory en-
braced between Condor and Ar
Ilington, which would come un-
der the irrigation project, that is
better. 1t is one of the finest
bodies of land to be found in the
west for irrigation, and which is
capable of producing apples,
fruit and garden truck that is
the equal of any raised in the
west. In order to prove this as
sertion we need only call atten-
ton to the fact that one of the
ranches on Rock Creek, now
owned by E. c. Rogers of Con-
don, produced apples that took
the gold medal at the Omaha
Exposition. Such was the feat
accomplished by apples grown ir
a district that is practically un'
known today, and where the ap'
pie industry is not receiving the
attention it does in old apple dis
tricts. What then could we ex
pect if this locality could be put
: under water? Most certainly
: one of the finest fruit districts
in the west, none excepted.

DEATH CALLS
GRANT WADE
Prominent man dies
stSpokane after SUBJ
hitting to surgical
operation.

On Sunday morning about ten
o'clock. like a bolt of lightning
from a clear sky. came to Con-
don. over the wires. the sad news
Of intelligence, informing the
people Of our city that Grant
Wade had succumbed to the sur
gical knife at Spokane. The
news spread like prairie fire am
ong his friends in Condor, and
caused profound sorrow among
our fellow townsmen. II was al
most impossible for many of
them to believe that this worthy
citizen. in the prime and glory OF
his life, had passed away. But
after some hours the people be-
gan to realize what q blow had
been struck, and then there
seemed TO be a calm as ifafter a
terrific electrical storm. He was
last seen in Condor on the 18th
day Of January, enroute to Spok-
ane on important business, and
while there was taken down
with an attack Of strangulation
Of the intestines which called to
his bedside his son, Lester Wade
of Condor. After undergoing
an operation he seemed to rally
and was convalescing nicely that
evening, but during the night
his temperature rose 10 lot and
at3:l5 a. m, on the morning of
Feb. 9th, he passed off to yonder
shore.
Funeral services were held at
0lex. Ore, and was one of the
largest funerals ever held in the
county, being attended by sever
al hundred friends who came
from far and near to pay their
last respects to him whom they
loved so dearly. His casket was
covered with carnations, roses,
lilies, etc., which were given
by his friends, which speak loud
er than words can express of
their regard for him. A quartet
sang Rock of Ages, which was
his favorite hymn, after which
C. A. Hill sang a beautiful solo.
Rev. Curran delivered a splendid
sermon eulogizing the life of the
departed neighbor, after which
the friends of the deceased took
q last look at him, which caused
many strong men to weep like
children. He was taken to the
cemetery by the Masons who
laid him to rest under very i'm
pressive ceremonies, he being o
member of the Arlington branch
of that order.
Grant Wade was born in Clack.
amas County, Oregon, on the 9Th
day of May, 1866, and at the
time of his death was 43 years,
months and n days of age.
Twenty-eight years ago, wher
this part of Oregon was looked
upon as a wilderness and the
home of the Indian, he came tt
what is now Gillian county tt

lot of the pioneer. Rugged, ath
letic, in the prime of life, anC
bubbling over with good health

frontiersmen, set his stake il

to grapple with her conditions
until life's battle for success hat
been won.

On Friday evening last, quite un-
foreseen and unexpected, the Angel
of Death" visited the home of Mr.. anC
Mrs. John O'Brien and in departing
took with her their little flower
Agnes, a beautiful babe of only five
months. The illness preceding the
passing of this innocent life was oi
but two hours duration and In these
days of sorrowing the parents have
the sympathy of large circle oi
warm friends.
When our little baby, darling
Crossed the river dark and wide,
Who was there to bid her welcome
Who met her on the other side?
For the way was long and dreary,
Baby was so weak and small,
Who will love her over yonder,-
Who will heed her tiny call?
While / ask, there comes an answer
To my doubling and alarm,
For the little one, forever.
Is beyond the reach of harm;
He who gathers in His bosom
Little lambs that need His care,
With the love of Heaven will love her
Till we meet her over there"

he could find in st. Petersburg, so that

not single lamp was to be found in

YERINGToN LOOKS GOOD
Camp Is Dull, but Livelier than
Other Places.


Jack Welsh, superintendent of the
Mason Valley mine, has returned from a
ten-days' trip, during which he visited
Pine Grove, Aurora, Masonic, Bodie and
other old camps. He found things
pretty quiet about these old camps and
says that the Yerington district is live
lier than any of them.
The tunnel at Pine Grove is in about
$500 feet and il is figured that it will
have to be driven 1900 feet further,
when the big and rich gold ledge will be
tapped 500 feet deeper than the old
workings from which millions were
taken
Bodie has about 100 men working. but
the Standard mine is unable to work be
low the S00-foot level, owing to the in
creased flow of water, and lack of power
necessary to take care of it. Aurora and
other camps i'll the vicinity are very quiet
for the same reason.
This state OF affairs will be remedied
when the power plant at Lundy is COM
pleted. This will furnish from Is, 600 to
20, 900 horsepower, AT reasonable price.
and the juice will be put in Bode.
