From all sections of the county, far and near, the Patrons of Husbandry as sembled on Thursday afte moon of last week, at Willamette hall, tobear the ad dress of Hon. Aaron Jones, the wh te haired, athletic, brniny farmer who is master of of the National Grange. La dies, members of the order, were nu merous in the audience. The speech of Mr. Jones was preceded by a solo on the piano and vocal music by members of the choir of Central Grange. Mr. TJ'Ren delivered a short address of welcome. "The Grange," said Aaron Jones, had grown faster daring the last current year increasing in members 2,000 a week than during the : previous year, which itself had been a year of greatest growth in a quarter of a century. The order is established on high moral prin ciples, and it is only on such a plane that it can do its great work. We live in an age of organization, The national organization of manufacturers has $9, 500,000,000 of capital, and when any legislation is attempted in Washington to inteifere with its interests it prompt ly puts a stop to it. At South Bend, Indiana, my home," said the speaker," is a manufacturing concern with $42, 000,000 of capital employing 7,000 men. It supports a population of 40,000 .peo ple. Think of the vast power of such a corporation. The bankers I like bank ers, they are nice, lellows the bankers also have a national organization and stand together in regard to national legislation. We live in the age of stand ing together. Without organization the individual is nobody. The farmer can increase his profits by co-operation. We, across the moun tains are making large profits by co-op erative selling. To start with, the wiEe farmer buys cheaply what he would sell in his own fields by low cost of prc duction. We in Indiana, by careful experiments, and by means of conipar'ng our differ ent experiments, have succeed in large' ly increasing the yield ol our farms in wheat and corn. By experiments in feeding sheep for the Chicago market 1 got tor my 40-cent corn 00 cents a bushel. rree rural man aeuvery, wmcn now accommodates 21,000,000 people, was established through the efforts of the lirange. iour years ago, the commit tee of three of the grange on national legislation (Aaron Jones and two others) succeeded in increasing the appropria tion foi that object from $150,000 annual ly to $1,750,000. Without our deter- mined, persistent efforts, Mark Hannat and Mat Quay would have defeated this appropriation in the senate. Tbe weight ef the great organization of the farmers of America won the victory. If you stand up, farmers, the Ameri can congress will givejou your rights. The signal success of the committee of the national grange ftith free rural mail delivery is possible with every great in terest of ours." Aaron Jones punctuates his speech with frequent jokes, witticisms and "by joves," and often brings down the house. His bulging, glittering-browri eyes are the windows of keen intellect. After the address, at the suggestion, of Dr. Casto, ihe young grangers present in large numbers, were introduced, one by one,to the master of tbe national grange. MARRIED IN CALIFORNIA. Former Oregon City Girl Wedded In Golden State. "A pretty little wedding was solemn ized last Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

There seems ti be a great demand for lumber in Clackamas county. Nearly ail of the saw milieu are running over time and are stil unable to supply the demand. Some mills have orders they cannot fill for four months. There is a great deal of buildinj going on in both city and country. In the town there are three large business blocks uuder 'course of construction. They are, the O. W. P. & Railway Go's., freight depot ; Fair dough Bros, warehouse and Ely Bros, warehouse. The Methodist church build ing is begining to put on an appearance of the finished article. Besides there are more than a dozm cottages and residences under course of construction in different parts of the town. Out at Sprlngwater and Dodge, where forest fir el last fall destroyed nearly half a hundred homes, the people are finding it utterly impossible to secure lumber with which to build and are anxiously awaiting the completion of Myers' sawmills which was also destroyed by fire at the same time.
