R. E. Wright one of the pro-
minent sheepmen in the vicinity
of Spray is making experiments
which if successful will save him
hundreds of dollars each year.
He is plowing 100 acres of the
hill land on his ranch on Parish
Creek and will sow tito spring
wheat which he will cut for hay,
bale and slide down a chute te
his big barn on the creek. Mr.
Wright spent $1,000 for feed last
winter and if his. crop is a sue
cess it will do away with that ex
pense. 1t would also prove tha
such land now being used TO
range only can be converted int
productive wheat farms.

ON CONSERVATION MEETING
Explains Why II Should Be
Held In This City On
April 4th.

/ am somewhat surprised to
learn that there is some dis
satisfaction as to the place of
holding the meeting on April 4th
relative to conservation dam on
Rock Greek. Imay have been a
little hasty..in calling meeting at
C ondon instead of Olex. SO feel
it my duty to offer explanation.
In the first place in order to
gather data we will have to have
access to the Assessors Rolls and
Co. Plats which can only be
gained through an Attorney and
our Water Codes with which
Condor is supplied. Ihave talked
this matter over with some Of
Condon's leading business men
and Citizens and find them in
hearty accord with the move
and have the assurance of their
help and support in the measure.
Condor being the principal twon
and our county seat / deemed
it for reasons already set forth,
as the proper place for meeting
of this kind to be held and select
solely upon my own judgement
not from any selfish notions or
Influence from any source what
ever.
| So, now friends from far and
near, let US lay aside any differ
ence of opinion along this line
and gather in Condor on April
18th, with the sole purpose and
Intent of bettering our conditions
and the the County in general.
/ C. w. Martin.

1910.
To The Editor of The Condor
Globe,
In your paper Of the 18th, Of
March you published an item TO
the effect that Graves & Weinke
Company had been instrumental
in selling my farm. / do not
know who gave you this inform
alton but in order that the public
may not be deceived in this par
ticular and that | may not be
misrepresented, | beg to advise
you that this real estate firm had
nothing whatever to do with the
sale of my ranch. | gave then
a contract to sell the land which
expired on February 18, 1910
and I notified them in writing
that the land was withdraw
from their agency. / made
sale to Mr.. N. M. Mechanic
without any aid or assistance
of this concern and the onl,
thing they had to do with tn,
transaction was to attempt t
make me pay them $650.00 com
mission which | refused to do.
Ihope you will give this lette
the same prominent space i,
!, your paper that you gave to tn
former news item.

II is needless to say that the
demonstration train which was
in this city Monday and Tuesday
was highly appreciated by the
people of Gillian County. In
spite of the cold, disaereeable
weather, enthusiastic farmers
from all sections of the county
and several from Wheeler were
present and all took great inter-
est in the demonstrations shown
by the experts in the various
branches Of agricultural work.
1t is said that this train was the
best ever sent out by any railroad
in the United States. 1t was
made up Of eight cars. six Of
which were filled with various
exhibits. Twenty-Five people, in.
luding experts representing al
lines Of agriculture, horticulture
and stock raising, accompanied
the train. Heretofore the prin.
cipal features Of demonstration
trains have been lectures cover
ing the different subjects. This
only regrettable feature was that
the allotted time of two hour
was not long enough to satisf,
those present. The dry farming
car was in charge of Prof. H. d
Scudder and was devoted to ex
hibits of soils. The next car wa

BOOSTER CLUB EX-

following letter.

To the Editor of the Globe:-
Owing to the breach in the
ranks Of those who on Wednes-
day night took it upon themselv-
es to form a club for the purpose
of advertising Gillian county to
the outside world, and the fact
that | was one of those who with
drew from a committee to which
I was assigned for duty, it be-
comes necessary for me to ex-
plain to the public what has
caused this breach and why this
step was taken.
The citizens of Gillian County
well knew that certain individ-
uals, in cooperation with the
Condor Globe, for several
months advocated a booster club
for our county, but no one came
forward to lend their assistance
toward this worthy cause, anC
which would have meant thous
ands of dollars to the farmers
and merchants of Gillian County
During the month of Februar!
last some of the progressive ant
enterprising citizens of our coun
ty took it upon themselves t
cause such an organization to b,
formed. And this with a viev
that Gillian County be advertise,
on a small scale, so that peopl
could be provided with literatur

1t will come as a surprise to
some, and as a sail-fattener to
others, to know that an unemo-
tional study of Coy ernment fig
ures shows that the average
grain yield of the Northwest is
greater than that of Canada.
And the average grain yields in
what is commonly called the In
land Empire of the Northwest is
considerably higher than that of
the entire Northwest. For the
five-year period, 19O4-1908, the
official average wheat yield per
acre for Oregon was 20.2 BUSH
els; the entire Northwest, 22.4
bushels. Official Canadian sta
tistics show that for the same
five-year period the average
wheat yield per acre of Saskatch-
evan was 1875 bushels; Alberta,
21.4 bushels; both provinces,
16. 9 bushels. During the same
period, the entire Northwest
produced an average of S6,6
bushels of oats per acre; Sas-
katchewan, S1,4 bushels; and
Alberta, S5.7 bushels, Also the
Northwest produced an average
of 1874 of barley per acre: Sas-
katchewan, 1913 bushels; and
Alberta, 25.8 bushels. Apri

Company and informed the writ
er Of this article that the o. r.
N. Co. got out a fine booklet
for Mosier Ia copy Of which was
handed to me at that time] and
he thought the railroad company |
was furnishing several dollars |
for every one a community |
would put up. This information
| conveyed to the directors of
the Booster Club, who instructed
me to write to the railroad COM
pany and see what they would
do. Whereupon received the re-
plies which appeared in a recent
issue of theGlobe.
The Booster Club then made
arrangements to meet with Mr..
Wells at Arlington and Condor.
On March the 22nd he gave an
elegant address to the citizens
Of Arlington, outlining the plan
of the railroad company, which
was wellattended by Arlington's
enthusiastic, progressive and
patriotic citizens. They immedi-
ately grasped the long looked for
opportunity to advertise the
county, under the plan suggest
ed by Mr.. Wells. The next morn
ling Mr.. Wells heard Walter
Wade of 0lex, who happened to
be eating at the same breakfast
table with Mr.. Wells, that Con-
don was divided on the Gillian
County Booster Club. This made
him approach me on the subject
whereupon gave him the histo-
Try of the club. 1t then was his
sincere desire that the trouble be
patched up and the organization
be made a harmonious one, and
asked me if it could be accom-
| plished. After this the directors
of the Booster Club held a con-
ference with Mr.. Wells in an
endeavor to find ways and means
whereby the obstacles could be
overcome. We finally agreed te
take the matter up, and ! was

CONSTABLE DENIES
TONG WAR PERJURY
ueorge Starr Explains Relations
With Chinese and Will Face
Formal Charges

OAKLAND, March 1S.-InYestigation
was made today by Judge Brown into
the charges that George Starr. deputy
constable, had concocted charges of
robbery against three Chinese. Leung
Bow, Low Yen and Louie Toon, had
given perjured testimony against them
and had then offered to square the
charges against them for $3.50 each.
Before the investigation had proceeded
far Judge Brown directed Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Smith to reduce his
charges to writing and TO open up the
case again next Tuesday.
The charges against Starr were made
by Smith and Attorney Clarence Reed.
who represented the Chinese. Reed de-
-clsred in court last Tuesday that Starr
had offered for $3.50 to fix the testi-
mony against the Chinese so that they
could not be convicted. Starr was in
the employ of the Yee family. Reed
declared, and had fabricated the
charges against the Chinese at the in
stance of his employers, who wanted
the defendants out of the way because
they were members of the On Yick
tong with which the Yee family was at
war a few months ago.
EMPLOYED AS BODYGUARD
w
morning Starr admitted that he had
been in the employ of the Yee fam
lily, drawing $40 a day as a bodyguard,
but he denied that he had ever greed
10 prepare cases for them against their
enemies. He said that he was no long
er active a deputy constable, being
engaged in the loan and collection bust
ness. though he held appointments as
deputy from Constable Hampstead of
Oakland township. and from Constable
Allen of Brooklyn township. Starr s
appointment as deputy constable was
revoked in October, 1908. by Constable
Lane because of alleged irregular ac-
tivities in conducting a loan and col
lection business.
Concerning the charge that he had
offered to sell out his clients, Starr
declared today that he was Joking when
he made that remark 10 Reed. He
caused laughter in the courtroom by
saying that he had intended to explain
10 Reed that the way the Chinese
could benefit by the $3.50 was in hiring
a good lawyer.
Reed will take the stand next Tues
day. His testimony as to what Starr
said TO him will be corroborated by At
torney Bingaman, who was with him
the time.
CHINESE CASE CONTINUED
The investigation into Starr's ac-
tivities was the result of Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Smiths motion to dis
miss the cases against the Chinese.
He said that the testimony against
them was q mass of perjury. Smith
made the same motion at the prelimi-
nary examination of the accused men.
but il was denied.
Yee Ming. the complaining witness,
blandly contra dicted himself on the
witness stand and declared without a
blush that he had never spoken to
Smith in the latter's office, whereas the
latter had gone over his evidence with
the Chinese in detail d few days before.
Yee. who was present today, was
ordered to be in court Tuesday. In the
meantime Judge Brown continued the
cases of the three Chinese.
