BASEBALL'S POPULARITY.

According to unofficial statis-
tics. the total attendance in the
American and National leagues
for the last seeason was more
than 1000, 600, and the year be-
fore it was even more. This fall
in the attendance was due to the
bad weather and not to any de-
crease in the interest in the
game.
The two big leagues form only
a small part of those that claim
the attention of the fans. There
are leagues throughout the coun-
try, and wherever it is possible
to raise enough money to put out
a team that city becomes part of
a league, be it composed of three,
four or more towns. The games
draw out more people than any
other sport on the calendar.
1t is estimated that there are
more than 1000. 900 amateur
clubs, and more than 100000
school and college teams playing
the game. The amateurs hold
forth in every town, and it is
from these that the present pro.
fessionals who make a good liv-
ing at the game rise. Physical
Culture for June.

CONDON WILL
CELEBRATE 4TH

After canvassing the city quite
thoroughly for an expression as
to whether or not il is advisable
to hold a Fourth of July celebra-
ton this. year. Mr.. Graves, the
chairman of the committee. has
found that most of the business
men are opposed to it along any
lines except that of a very mod.
crate celebration. 1t has there
fore been decided to do away
with the elaborate program at
the race track, which means all
of the Roderio features. There
will be three good baseball games,
however, and all of the foot races
and other sports as originally
planned. A suitable baseball dia-
mond and track for the races
will be prepared on a vacant
block on the east side of Main
street. Several have offered to
donate services for the prepara-
ton of these grounds, w. H.
Searcy having offered to furnish
two men with two teams for two
days. The band will furnish
the same amount of patriotic Tu-
sic and these features, with a
good dance each evening, will in
sure a celebration for Condor
without mourning a big expense,
which will be more satisfactory
to everyone concerned. Admis-
sion will be charged as usual TO
the ball games and other sports,
and an entrance fee of fifty cents
will be charged those entering
in any of the foot races or other
sports. The money thus taken
in will be used in defraying ex-
penses, making it much easier
for the business men who expect
to donate.

SCHOOL MEETING
WELL. ATTENDED

The annual school meeting held
on Monday afternoon was at
tended by forty taxpayers of this
district. The meeting was called
to order at 1:25 p. m. by Chair
man Reisacher. The minutes of
the last annual meeting were
read and approved. Nomina-
tions being in order, Chas. H.
Williams nominated G. w. Par
man for. director and j. ]. Port
wood nominated j. F. Reisacher.
Upon counting the ballots it was
found that there were fifteen cast
for Parman and twenty-five for
Reisacher. Reisacher was then
declared elected. M. Fitzmau-
rice then nominated C. O. Port
wood for clerk and Frank Hollen
was nominated by ]. A. McMor-
ris. The final count showed
twelve for Hollen and twenty
nine for Portwood. The clerks
yearly report was then listened
to and it appeared that the dis
trict now has on hand a balance
of about 1890. There was some
discussion as to what was best in
regard to raising the teachers
salaries, but nothing was defin-
itely settled.

ARTES|AN WELL
MEETING FAILURE
Lack of Interest Evident.
Plenty of Capital Easily
Obtainable for Enterprise
of this Nature. Would
Cost About $1,000.

The meeting which was to have
been held on Tuesday evening
for the purpose of discussing the
feasibility of boring for artesian
water in this city did not mate
rialize because the majority of
people did not stop to reflect on
the unlimited possibilities such a
move would make for this city
and county. There is no doubt
whatever as to whether artesian
water can be secured. The orr
ginal plan, as outlined by John
Madden, of organizing a local
company and selling stock to 10
cal people only is a good one, but
it would be still better to take in
outside capital, Cor this reason:
The original plan was to drill one
thousand feet, at which depth it
is expected artesian water would
be struck. This would cost ap-
proximately $4,000 and such an
amount could have been raised
in a short time. One man alone
offered to take $500 worth of
stock, several others offered to
put in 5000, and many offered to
take 800. However, it is pos
sible that artesian water could
not be secured at this depth, and
should a company be formed for
this purpose there should be
enough money in the treasury to
keep on drilling until a sufficient
flow is secured. A well was
sunk at Vale, Oregon, to a depth
of four thousand feet and won
derful flow of water secured.
The local company should be
formed and then the matter could
be taken up with Portland capi-
tai which is already sufficiently
interested in this city and county
to make up an amount sufficient
to go down even four thousand
feet, although it is highly prob
able that artesian water would
be struck at a less depth. This
movement should not be allowed
to die. 1t is impossible to esti-
mate exactly the value such a
we'll would be to this city, county
and surrounding section of the
state.

The baseball game in this city
last Sunday between the Fossil
team and the local aggregation
was rather one-sided and not
very interesting, although at
times both sides played good
ball. Fossil. had expected to
bring a strong team last Sunday,
but their best players were not
home from college. The score
was IA to /. Batteries: Fossil,
Kclsay and Stinchfield; Condor,
Harlan and Wilson. The Condor
team will play a return game in
Fossil next Sunday and it prom
sises'to be closer game, as Rine-
hart, Fossils crack southpaw, is
at home again from college, and
the team has been strengthened

ENORMOUS PROFIT
ON D|sT|LLATE
Sold to City by Electric Co.
"Could Not Run Month
Without That Business, I"
Says Bowerman to Light
Committee.

The light committee, recently
appointed by the city council, met
on Tuesday evening with Jay
Bowerman. representing the Con-
don Electric Co, with the OBJ
jective view Of securing a lower
rate on the street lights for which
the city is paying. Chas. II. VIII
liams. as chairmon Of the COM
mittee, asked Mr.. Bowerman for
his opinion in regard to lowering
the rate. Mr.. Bowerman said
that in all the time the plant has
been in operation it has never
paid expenses in any month from
the lights alone, but that the
company had made enough on
the distillate sold to the city and
other parties to make up the de-
ficiency. lie further said that
without the profit made on the
distillate sold to the city the
company could not run a month.
He made the proposition to the
committee that the city take over
the light plant for a year and
pay the company six per cent on
their investment. The commit
tee did not feel like taking it
upon themselves to decide the
matter, so a mass meeting Of
the citizens to be held in the
court house will be called on the
10th Of July. .......,..

Chas. H. Williams, the local
weather observer, has recently
purchased a Holosteric barome-
ter for the benefit of the people
of the county. The instrument,
which is the best money can buy,
registers atmospheric conditions
and altitude and registers all
wind changes from twelve to
twenty-four hours ahead, and
then from the atmospheric pres
sure registered and from the di-
rection of the wind the coming
weather can be correctly fore
casted. A single reading Of the
instrument means nothing, but
its continued observation for
days at a time will result in a
correct forecast. The instrument
which Mr.. Williams has is iden-
tically the same as that used by
the government to produce its
forecasts.
