B(Hk Review.
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.

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.

Cured Hay JVver and Summer Cold.
A. J. Nushatim. Batesvllle, In'V.i
writes: "Last year I suffered for three
months wc.li a summer cold &o dls-t!-i.Hlnj
that It Interfered with my
hiihiness. I had many of the symp
toms of hay fever, end a doctor's pre
scription did not reach my case, snd
( took several medicines which seem
ed to only sggravato my case. 'For
tunately I Insisted upon having Fo
ley's Honey and Tar and It quickly
cured me. My wife has since used
Foley's Honey snd Tar with the same
success." ' A. T. Hill, druggist.
