The Circular Staircase, by Mary P.oberts Rlnehart, Is one of those cleverly baffling mystery stories that lure yuu on from Incident to Incident until tlio thread of circumstantial evi dence Is dt'UIy unwound by the author. It Is a story of American fashionable Country life. A sDir.ster aunt tells the ittory of how she hires a house for hr niece and ncplmw. Before three days have passed strange voices result In the murder of a strung man found dead at the foot of a circular stalr rune. He proves to be the dlpnlpntuU son of the owner of tho house, a pros perous banker, who mysteriously die in California. Circumstantial cvldi-nce Implicates tho- nephew, who strange ly dlHnppears on the night of the murder, taking with him hU friend, the fiance of his sister. Considering the nephew Is In love with the mur dered man's sister, the complications are sufficient to tt.-st the ingenuity of any romancer. The book contains a refreshing atmosphere of humor not common in a really good story of mys- terlaus crime. It Is well told. Thursday, M:m!iu u 21. UOiitlAillL ; To spread the Orange propaganda in Union county is the purpose of Deputy State Master of Oregon Grang es. M. M. Burtner, who arrived in the city last evening. In company with C. D. Huffman, district deputy, he leaves for Coye tomorrow morning, where he will organize the first of a large num ber of granges in Union county. Cove, i tinton,' Elgin, Summervilie and possi-1 bly North Powder, will have' granges when ,Br.; Burtner has completed.hls mission to this county. The i various , towrts-; mentioned, are !;now without ffrarigosi but jthsy have arid Grand, gfangsj h,ll the three organizations have come to as sume positions of prominence in the valley; Tho outcome of it ls that the towns will organized and rapidly push to the front until Union county has a Chain of granges which will'' augur good for the farmers.' As Mr. Burt ner puts It, the granges nre' not trusts and combtnes by the farmerai. neither -nr v",uc,lt bodies, though they studyt and f olWw the precepts of po litical economy. The granges of the state have done much toward the ad vancement of modern laws In Ore gon, and the slight stigma that ' was placed n the granges on account of the university appropriation squabble was entirely uncalled for. It was but a few men in one grange that started the movement and the great mass of the granges of the state worked for the passage of the appropriation bill. They seldom make mistakes, and when once they find a needed piece of legislation they work harmoniously and legitimately toward that end. The farmers of Union county will benefit greatly by the spread of the grange organization In this county, and It Is hoped that all the towns to be vlsltpd win do organized with prosperous memberships and become thoroughly Inoculated with the same Virus of thrift and sociability that character izes those now in existence here. A crew of SO men Is now pushing to completion the drainage work on the Union Experiment farm. There are ICO acres of lowlands on that furm that are too swampy and wet for practical farming and the state ex periment furm has taken upon Itself the task of reclaiming the area. Tiling Is being placed In such a way as to drain the large field, and when next year's crops are planted It will be on a pleco of land thoroughly webbed with (drainage pipes. The crew has been at work for some time and In the near future will have the proect com pleted. The manager of the undertak ing reports that the work Is progress ing with more ease ond rapidity thun nt first expected. The management Is highly satisfied with the prospect and It Is likely, that while irrigation for the arid districts Is now being formulated end promulgated, reclamation- of swamp lands In this valley will . be going on at the Kame time. ov. n ers of swamp lands In tr.- county will watch with eager eyes the results of the scientific draining now being done at Union. j : Cured Hay JVver and Summer Cold.
