1 THE MOIEiraSG OBEGOXIA2S. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 11, 1903. RALLY OF GRANGERS Enthusiastic Farmers Attend State Institute, GRAND MASTER JONES IS HERE Richard Scott Speaks of tbe Advan tage of the Lewi and Clark Ex position Dr. Jaaea "Withycombe sr Agricultural Education. Enthusiastic farmers from all over the State of Oregon and the .Northwest are in Portland attending the institute of the Oregon State -Grange in session at the A. O. IT. W. Temple, Second and Taylor streets. The first work, of the institute was done yesterday, when addresses and speeches were made toy prominent Grang ers, including Grand (Master Granger Aaron Jones, from South Bend, Ind., blas ter Granger J. O. "Wing, of the Washing ton State Grange, and James "Withycombe, of the Oregon Agricultural College. For several days past, members of the State Grange have been flocking so Port land In order to participate In the insti tute, which is always conceded to be of great and beneficial instruction. In addi tion to the Oregon members, there are .also .Grangers from the neighboring State of "Washington, who have an equal Inter est In the -proceedings. Among the Grangers present, there areH representatives of every class or the Tann ing profession, hopgrowers, prunegrowers, orchardlsts, dairymen, chickenralsers, wheatgrowers, stockmen, horsebreeders, and the true out-and-out farmer himself. Most of the morning was spent in a so cial gathering, friends chatting, and strangers becoming acquainted, until the large hall sounded like a country fair, so loud was the buzzing and humming of the enthusiastic representatives of the rural districts. At 11 o'clock C. H. Welch stepped on the platform and called tbe Institute to order. Introducing B. G. Leady. master of the State Grange, who immediately assumed the chair. Richard Scott, of Mllwaukle, member of the State Lewis and Clark Commission, was then in-.-., uccd, and talked at length on the Lewis and Clark 1905 Exposition. Mr. Scott spoke of the direct bearing that a successful Fair would have on the farm ers of the state, and made some practical suggestions as to what the farmers could do toward making the Fair successful in every degree. Attention was brought to the farmers that those in charge of the enterprise could not hope to have a Fair of any sort of merit without the farmers, and tbe speaker sincerely hoped that the members of the Grange and all the farm ers of the state as a whole would do what ever possible good they could for the great Exposition. The matter of a good showing at the St. Louis Fair was spoken of, and it was suggested that as a help for Ore gon in 1905. a good agricultural exhibit should be made In 1904 at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. In the course of his address, Mr. Scott spoke of the work In which he Is inter ested, dairying, and said that It would only be a question of time until Oregon was a great dairying state, enjoying then in quantity what is now enjoyed In quality. After Mr. Scott's talk there was a spirited discussion among the members of the audience over the merits of the 1903 Fair, and It was finally conceded that the Fair would be beneficial both to city and country illke. and for that reason, every farmer lu the state should give it his heartiest support. In the midst of the dis cussion. Grand Master Aaron Jones, of South Bend. Ind., arrived and was greet ed vociferously. Mr. Jones made a few remarks of greeting, and reserved his .talk on the Granges until later In the day. The aftornooii session was opened up by Hon. J. O. Wing, of the Washington State Grange, who poke on "Practical Co operation Among Farmers." 'Mr Wing handled the subject very thoroughly, and convinced his hearers that It was of" in estimable value to belong to a good Grange, and that only through this agency could first-class co-operation be secured. Among other things the speaker said: "The courses of the State Agricultural College are out of the reach of the son of the average farmer, and he must look to other sources for Iris knowledge. To be a good farmer It Is not necessary, to have a thorough course In a college. What we need is co-operation, better methods, bet tor markets, better citizens. We will then be the equal of and gain tho respect of all other classes. By co-operation I do not nean that we should start co-operative stores or such concerns, for they are rot generally attended with success, but 1 mean co-operation in the other sense of" the word, that of working for the general good of the cause." This address was received with much npplause, anu In a short discussion follow ing, one membor of the audience took ex ception to the statement about co-operative stores being unsuccessful and pointed out an instance of an up-to-dato store of this character In his home town. Grand Master Aaron Jones was then In troduced for a second time and told In a general way of tho work of the Granges, and the way they were helping the farmer to subsist. "I am glad to be here," said Mr. Jones, "and T am glad to approve of the remarks made by Mr. Wing. I believe In co-operation. The grandest and most perfect or ganization that the world has ever known, this Republic. Is a. great monument to practical co-operation. No nation of an cient or modern times can be compared with this Republic, and nil because of this co-operation. "When 1 was elected to d.he position of grand master I was of the opinion that I would bo unable successfully to hold the- position. I knew that I ought to have something to say as I went from city to city, and from town to town, something to say that would be true. I then began to gather some good Information. I wrote to Washington, to Secretary Wilson, that grand old Scotsman, and told him that I wanted to get something to tell our peo ple. He sent me all I wanted." Here the speaker Inserted numerous sta tistics showing the percentage of fanners, their percentage of wealth, and various other items of general interest. "We used to have 62 per cent of the wealth of the country, and now we have less than 0 per cent- Why. I wanted to know. Well, that's why these Granges were organized. We wanted to. find out the little point where the manufacturer got what the fanner earned. I want a little more prosperity. I want all tho luxu ries, the comforts, the conveniences and the surroundlgns of my home. I want them down on the farm. I don't want to cry down any class, and I do not wish to build up the farming classes on the ruins of the manufacturing classes, but I dimply wish to stop the little buslenss of letting somebody else get what we earn. "What are we to do? Bring ourselves together, stand together, co-operate and secure our rights, and nothing but rights. Then in the Legislatures and in Congress, we muM pass laws of equality to farmer and manufacturer. "We will not antagonize, we want har mony. But we want our own." At various points In the discourse, the speaker's remarks "tvere interrupted with cheering and applause, and were evidently thf sentiments of tbe audience. Miss "Verna L. Welch then sang two pretty songs in a. remarkably sweet voice, "Cherry Ripe- and "Japanese Love Song." Both "were loudly -applauded, and "Miss Welch sang an encore of the same ex cellence. The last address of the afternoon was on '"Agricultural Education." by Dr. James Withycombe, of the Oregon Agri cultural College. Dr. Withycombe present ed his address In a clear, distinct manner and was heartily approved by the Grang ers present. After his concluding re marks at 4:30 o'clock, the meeting was adjourned until the evening session. The evening- meeting was largely at tended, and was a very enjoyable gather ing. The speeches were bright and at times humorous, and an orchestra, under the direction of H. McGowan, Interspersed popular musical selections. Miss Verna L. Welch also sang a pleasing solo. State Senator Alex Sweek appeared la the place of Governor Chamberlain, who found It impossible to be present, and ex pressed Governor Chamberlain's regrets for his unavoidable absence. . Judge TL P. Boise, of Salem, an old member of the Grange, made a fitting re-" sponse. City Auditor T. C. Devlin represented the City of Portland in the absence of Mayor Williams and welcomed the vis itors. F. E. Beach, president of the Portland Board of Trade, delivered an address re ferring to the mutual interests which exist between the business man and the producer. Austin T. Buxton, of Forest Grove, lec turer of the Oregon State Grange, report ed the same spirit, and told of the neces sity of an enlarged home market for pro ducers, the advantage of proper trans portation facilities, and a more extensive acquaintance between the country people and those of the cities. He spoke of the benefit to be derived by the agricultural ist through the growth of cities, and through the Lewis and Clark Exposition, which he said would not profit Portland alone, as some were inclined to say. Grand Master Aaron Jones spoke at some length, and when the electric lights In the hall suddenly went out he kept right on, saying they -were not afraid to be in the dark. The ladles laughed and Joked sonje with their escorts, and the Jaintor finally restored the equilibrium of things by lighting the gas. Mr. Jones told of a recent -visit to President Roose velt, when the President promised him that the Department of Agriculture at Washington would rank as high In Its buildings and appropriations with" all other departments of the National Gov- I ernment. The Grange will meet this morning at 9:30 o'clock, and a general Invitation was extended to business men to be present at the afternoon session, when Grand Mas ter Jones will again deliver an address. President F. E. Beach, of the Board of Trade, was Intrusted with the mission of urging merchants to attend. "AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION'." Address of Dr. Jaxne "Withycombe nt Grange Institute. The address of Dr. James Withycombe on "Agricultural Education" follows: Agricultural education is comparatively a modern thought. Less than a quarter of a century ago If one had the temerity to sug gest the propriety of a technical education for the farmer boy. In a scholastic sense. It would have been regarded as being hlghy vis ionary, impracticable, and would doubtless have been greeted with a derisive rebuff. What a marvelous change in the meantime! The clas sics no longer monopolize tha thought of the pedagogue but the arts and sciences, with emblazoned effrontery, have captured the at tention of master minds. The professor of agriculture no longer suffers the stigma of being simply an exponent of books. It Is true that at the beginning of this new order of things there was a very small nucleus upon which a satisfactory superstructure of agri cultural pedagogy could be erected. It was nine years before scientific agriculture found more than incidental recognition. The eleva tion of mind in the man was still to be cared for b7 a solid training, outside of the art to be taught. But the leaven was work ing; men of science were attracted to the work and began to find Illustrations of chemi cal reactions in processes of vegetation and growth as well as In farm methods. The phy siology of breeding and the chemistry of feeding began to have interest as studies of both nature and practice. In their great advancement as disciplinary studies, methods of teaching the sciences took on more of a laboratory character. Step by step the sciences were advanced In the curricula of the college of agriculture, until today these Institutions of learning arc as thoroughly equipped and supplied with equally as able corps of Instructors for tho teaching of the sciences and industrial arts, as are the uni versities prepared to Instruct in the classics. This brings to the school of agriculture a new enthusiasm. In addition to scientific instruction the principles of mechanics are taught, thus stimulating the latent powers of observation of the student in the mechanical construction of farm Implements and their value in farm economy. - Learning and labor must be yoked together and science must ever be made the hand maid of toil on the farm. Education Is power. Hence who can estimate the far-reaching in fluence the work of our college will have on the future agriculture of this state. The young men who zo forth from these halls of learning, by reason of their training, will be in close touch with every department of In dustry. They will be able to make two blades of grass grow where but one grew before; they will value and utilize economically our agricultural resources; their training acquaints them with the purposes of all forms of animal and vegetable life, as well as their economical relationship, to agriculture. Fortunate, indeed, it Is that these colleges are co-educational. The farmer's daughter, on In tact any man's daughter for that mat ter, shoold receive In addition to an educa tion that brings them culture, a thorough training In domestic science. Their educa tion should embrace every science and art that relates to the home. Tho chemistry of foods and bacteriology should not be made subservient to the culinary art. It is a- fact that we are often more concerned with the scientific feeding of our domestic animals than we are in securing rational and healthful rations for human beings. The young woman who is trained In the domestic science wields a power for good in the home. She can bring order out of chaos, as It were, with a magic wand, as her sense of true art enables her. with little expense, to beautify and make the modest home a delightful habitation. The supplementary collese "studies of botany, flori culture and landscape gardening carry her love lor the beautiful beyond the walls of the house. Hence, often with exquisite taste, under her personal supervision, pretty lawns are laid out, ornamented with attractive trees and ehrubs. accompanied with rich 'beds of choicely selected flowers. Such culture and education leave no room for incompatibility of temperament, but bring to the home every substantial and enjoyable pleasure that the world affords. The educational work of the agricultural colloges Is ably reinforced by the Grange and the farmers' Institute. The former has been phenomenally helpful In elevating the social and Intellectual olane of the farmer and' his family. It has done much to dignify the labor of the husbandman and has inspired him with a broader and more comprehensive, view of his vocation. The influence of the Grange should be extended to educational problems of the rural schools. Nature study can be made a delightful supplementary work for the primary grades in the public school, not In the sense of an arduous task, but as a restful. Inter esting diversion from the regular routine work. This would gradually draw the young mind toward natural objects, kindling within a growing Inspiration, the fruition of which in after life would be a devoted and ardent sdmlrer of the matchless beauties of Nature. For the older pupils elementary agriculture taught In an interesting but simple manner would do much to Impress the student with the great possible usefulness that lies be fore him as1 an apostle of enlightened agri culture. The farmers' Institute is. perhaps, the best available means afforded the experiment sta tion worker to meet the practical farmer oa common grounds. This interchange of Ideas and the discussion of more modem methods of husbandry cannot be other than mutually beneficial both to the farmer and the ex periment station worker. The institute will always remain an Important educational factor for the rreat mass of our farmers. . It is a matter of congratulation to note the con stantly increasing Interest among our farm ers In this work which moans that they will steadily become more Intelligent in refer ence to their occupation. This awakening of Interest among our farm ers in matters of education pertaining to 'their occupation will exert a marked Influence in ar resting the deplored -exodus from the coon try to tbe cities and In promoting the much- to-be-deslred reflex fiow. It U almost univer sally conceded by economists that the Intel ligent, scientific farmer is the most ladepen dest man la the community and Is almost sere to be the steadiest, the most reliable and the most patriotic cltiien of the republic. The heoe of our Nation Is not la the non descript masses of our titles, tut In the sturdy, honest, moral, industrious yeomanry of the country. The follower of no 'other vocation has need of a fuller and hlsher culture, a -larger ex perience, a. broader and more accurate knowl edge than the man. who Is encased In farm ing and stockbreedlng. The work of the merchant, the professional man. the miner, the mechanic, is slain and simple compared with that of the farmer. Agriculture Is the. basis of all true prosperity and the hope of the state rests la an intelligent, -prosperous and happy rural population. In the broad field of agriculture there is no want for an opportunity for the profltahle investment of capital and for the employment of the best thought. It is. In fact, the master science, demandlnr the highest skill for the best achievements. From the crude and sim ple methods of farming & splendid super structure of agricultural science has been evolved. It Is the science of sciences, the art of arts, and when every other art and science shall be developed to Its utmost limit, the field of agriculture will still present a bound less opportunity for research and reward, wherein every faculty of mind and body with which man Is endowed may find the most satisfying, ennobling and inspiring employment. The agricultural colleges and experiment sta tions are doing much for the promotion of agricultural education. These institutions have rendered an invaluable service to the eco nomic side of agriculture by increasing the amount of production and in raising the quality." Their potentiality In the elevation of the social and intellectual plane of the farmer Is marked. Their educational Influence has transformed the ultra-conservatism of the farmer to that of progresslveness. The exo dus of the sturdy youth of the farm to the city Is for the want of a proper conception of scientific truth and its value. They have not turned the first page of the book of Na ture. They have never been shown the law and order that are everywhere about them, and therefore they do not see how surely added power comes to any man's life when he can understanding control and direct the forces of Nature. HARMONY IN ABUNDANCE Michigan Democrats Nominate for Jadge, and Hear Bryan. DETROIT, Mich., March 10. Without the presence of William J. Bryan, who made an address at the morning session, today's Democratic state judicial conven tion at the Light Guard Armory in this city would have been featureless. Judge George Lyaple, of Mendon, who is the nominee for Supreme Judge for a term of ten years, to succeed Judge Frank A. Hooker, was nominated without any oth er name being presented. For regent of the State University, Wellington B. Burt, of Saginaw, was left in undisputed pos session of the field before the first ballot was completed. Dr. Francis J. Walsh, of Kalamazoo: Albert J. Dixon, of Port Hu ron, and Henry C. Davis, of Traverse City, withdrawing in Mr. Burt's favor. Dr. Walsh and Mr. Dixon wore candidates again for the second candidacy on the board of regents, but were defeated by Willis J. Abbott, of- Battle Creek, editor of the Pilgrim Magazine. The resolutions adopted merely bespeak the support of thoughtful citizens for those principles of government which find expression through , the National plat form of the party. This Is the only ref erence made to National affairs. The in itiative and referendum is demanded, and the recent coal strike is taken as an in dication of the necessity for municipal ownership of public utilities. The resolutions deprecate judicial par ticipation in the manipulation of conven tions and the activities of ante-convention policies. Pride Is expressed In the State University, and the Democratic party Is pledged to continue its efficiency by every means in its power consistent with economy. No mention was made in the convention of Democratic Presidential possibilities. On being Introduced by Temporary Chairman Parkhlll, Mr. Bryan said; "No Democrat has reason to be despon dent. We must not work on the principle of expediency. We must be sure we are building on the right ground. There never was a time when there was a great er need for the application of Democratic principles than today. Down East, In Delaware, I learned more about some other things than about future candidates for the Presidency. I found that many Republicans were fighting against a man named Addlcks. I found that in some places three-quarters of the voters had re ceived money for their votes. But I could not draw the line between Addlcks, who wanted to buy a Senatorshlp with Tils own money and run it for his own Interests, and other men who buy office for a cor poration and run it for the Interests of the corporation. "What, my friends, do you say of men who buy Senatorships with the money of corporations and go to Congress as slaves of the corporations. The Senate would not even take up for consideration the House bill for the control of trusts. These men are worse than Addlcks. If you wanted anything from the Delaware- man you would talk to Addlcks, but in these other cases you would have to go to the masters of the office-holder. I cannot draw a distinction between the men who sell their votes for $5 and the one who makes a million trading in party politics. I remem ber a case where J. P. Morgan made mil lions on a matter of Republican policy. "All the difference between Addlcks and the rest Is that he confessed openly lo what the others do secretly. I have been "accused of preventing harmony. No man wants harmony more than I do and no man hag suffered more for lack of It than I have. But you can't keen In one organization men who want to cut each others' throats. They accuse me of saying hard things about Cleveland. I never said anything about him so hard as did President Mc Klnley, who said, 'Cleveland is trying to make money the master and all things else the servant,' "I am not ashamed of 'any humble part 1 may have had In driving out of the Democratic party a man who tried td make money the master and everything else the servant- I want him In some other party than ours. I would be glad to help organize one for his exclusive use." SENATORS TALK HARMONY. Important Caucus Tells How It Is for Democratic Party. WASHINGTON, March 10. After the Senate adjourned today a number of Democratic Senators met Informally in Senator Gorman's room for a general dis cussion of the political situation in the Senate and country at large. Senator Gorman talked at some length about the necessity of party unity, and pointed out the necessity of harmony in the party in the Senate at this time, because of Its possible bearing on the fortunes of the Democratic party throughout the coun try. A number of other Senators ex pressed similar views but no action was taken, as the meeting was In no sense official. Great Lous of Cattle In Kansas. TOPEKA, Kan., March 10.

CHOLERA ON SHIPBOARD SIX STRANGE DEATHS AT SEA, ON AN ANCHOR LINER. Health Officer at Neiv York Detains a. Vessel Witk Over Seven Hun dred Passengers en Beard. . NEW YORK. March 10. Six strange deaths at sea aboard the Anchor Line steamer Karamania, from Marseilles, Palermo and Naples, caused that vessel to be detained at quarantine today, and Health Officer Dot, after an examina tion, said the symptoms were 'so similar to those of cholera that the ship would be thoroughly disinfected ,and Its 733 pas sengers and crew sent to Hoffman's Isl and to remain there until the health offi cers positively know that they are free from infection. The bodies were burled at sea. and the meager report of the ship's doctor increased Dri Doty's suspi cion.' Each of the victims died In con vulsions attending an attack of nausea and cramps. Dr. Doty, 'after securing records of all the deaths on board, gave out the follow ing statement: "From the meager reports of the ship's .doctor, I regard these cases as very sus picious. WTe have no cases to examine, and as the bodies were buried at sea, all the evidence obtainable was the doctor's notes and statements giving the story of the cases. All v the symptoms nausea, cramps and sudden collapse and death are so familiar to those of cholera that I purpose to treat the vessel and passen gers as If it were certain. The vessel will be thoroughly disinfected, the passengers, 733 In number, transferred to Hoffman's Island, and the crew, after the vessel shall be docked, will also be taken to Hoffman's Island. These people will be detained there until I am positive that they are free from Infection. This course Is pursued because of the suspicious char acter of the deaths and the absence of evidence of the cause. No person on board appears to be able to account for the outbreak." This is the Karamanla's second experi ence of the kind. August 3, 1S33, she ar rived oft Quarantine from Naples and re ported three deaths during- tho trip. Dr. Jenkins, then Health Officer, reported that the deaths had been due to cholera. WILL FIGHT SHIPPING COMBINE. Plans of the Canadian Trans-Atlantic Service. NEW YORK.. March 10. The reports from Ottawa respecting tenders for a fast trans-Atlantic service cause satisfaction rather than surprise at the offices of the High Commissioner for Canada, accord ing to the London correspondent of the Tribune. It is announced on high author ity that one of the conditions of the sub sidy, which will bo paid Is that the line shall not enter Into any pooling or co operation arrangement with any rival shipping interest, nor have any secret understanding respecting rates' or other details of the business of transporting emigrants from Europe to Canada; and It is also stated on equally good authority that 'one-third of the subsidy will be paid by tho British Government, The details will not be disclosed until the tenders are received, but probably the British government will co-operate with the Dominion government in subsidizing a line of IS and 21-knot ships under the British flag. The line will be sufficiently fast to justify payment by the govern ment here of its one-third as a small -subsidy, and the emigration business, now assuming great proportions, will be con trolled by the Ottawa government. Olympian Breaks Adrift. While the gale was at Its height before daybreak yesterday morning, the old stern-wheel steamer Olympian, which has been lying at the O. R. & N. boneyard for many years, dragged her anchors and. drifting clear across the river, came up with a crash against the beacon Just above the Portland Flouring mills. The beacon was wrecked, but It stopped the progress of the drifting boat. The Olym pian was not damaged. She was towed back to the boneyard in the afternoon. Elmore Will Be Dismantled. The O. R. & N. Co. has decided to dis mantle the steamer Elmore, which was sunk and badly wrecked in the Yamhill River several weeks ago. The Elmore was brought down several days ago and tied up at the boneyard. It was thought then that she could be repaired and put In service again, 'but the order has now been given to dismantle her and Jake vher engines out. Government Dredge Slnlcs. The Government dredge which has been dredging the east fork of Lewis River was sunk Sunday night In some way. A wrecking apparatus was sent down Mon day to raise her. The snagboat Mathlo ma, which has been acting as tender to the dredge, has been removing snags at odd times from the main dock of the river, which is full of them, so that nav igation has been badly obstructed for the past month.
