The meeting of Clackamas PomoDa witU Molalla 310 on Octooer 15i.h was truly an incentive for every one present to feel happy. The beauty of the day alone made if so.

Casto introduced the following resolution, which was adopted: Whereas, The Patrons of Husbandry have always favorod co operation as an economic and profitable method of buy ing and selling farm products; and Whereas, Other states have to a large extent adopted said method and saved money y it and made it a success, ' therefore, Resolved, That this Pomona Grange recommend to all subordinate granges in this jurisdiction to make cooperation a matter of discussion at suitable sea sons and interest their delegates to the county grange convention which meets in March to elect delegates to the state grange, to be prepared to say how far thev desire to co-operate and in what articles they desires to cooperate, if any. A resolution adopted in regard to the initiative and referendum amend ment to the constitution, omitting the preamble, states : We view with alarm the recent decis ion of the circuit court of Multnomah county declaring said amendment void ; and Whereas, We believe the voters of the state fully understood the purport and effect of such amendment when they voted for its ratification, and Whereas, We believe said circuit court was not properly or well advised in considering said amendment when said decision was rendered; therefore, be it Resolved, That it is the sense of this Pomona Grange that said amendment should be and remain a part of the state constitution, and that the wishes and rights of the people should not be sacrificed by strains and narrow de cisions based on technical questions. - Robert Schubel, of Molalla Grange No. 40, offered the following resolu tion : Resolved, That the Master of this Pomona Grange appoint a committee of three to investigate the assessment roll of Clackamas county and report at the next Pomona Grange the condition of the assessment roll as to the equality of assessments especially of corporation 1 assessments with farm property . This resolution was warmly discussed. The forcible exposition by Mr. Vorhies. of Marion county, a former master of the State Grange, of the wisdom of such an investigation by the Patrons of Hus bandry, was the means of carrying the resolution by a large majority. R. Schubel, T. C. Borland and Wm. Griesenthwait were appointed as com mittee. The number 'who sat down to dinner as guests of the people of Molalla, was 156. J. Vorbies addieesed the grange in re gard to the getting of a quantity of land plaster sowers, machines which can be bought for $40 .

Marshfleld. Or,, Oct., 20. Startling news was received here this morning from Bandon that the steamship South Portland from Portland to 8an Francisco, went on the reefs near Cape Blanco last night in a heavy fog. Thirty-one lives are' reported lost. The vessel is reported to be a total wreck. Capt. Mclntyre, with two of his crew and four passengers landed at the Blanco light in a small boat and came to Bandon. One other boa that was launched in the terrific seas peculiar to this treach erous part of the coast is believed to have been pounded to pieces on the rocks. Details of the disaster are meager, as no telegraphic communication is to be had. Port Orford, eight miles below Cape Blanco, has long distance tele phone, but at 4 o'clock this afternoon no particulars were known there. The first news of the wreck was re ceived from Bandon, a village on the Oregon coast. Capt. Mclntyre is re ported to have made the town this ttf ternoon. He says his vessel struck the rocks in a heavy fog enroute (rom As toria to San Francisco. The captain says the ship must have broken up al most immediately and there is little chance of the crew or passengers being saved. He thinks fnllu 93 nl ihn n,.a. and 7 passengers who were left on the vessel must nave perished in the heavy seas. There wasonlv timn tn Inva, hut two boats. The exact number of pas sengers is unknown yet, as the wreck is on an isolated coast. The South Port land was a his' frnichh a(gimimlra. ried a few passengers.

Capt. J. B.

HOriE AGAIN, Judge Thomas F. Ryan Returns From an Extensive Trip East - County Judge, Thomas F. Eyan is back at his desk in the court house. He returned home on last Friday morning arriving o.i the overland over the South, ern Pacific from California. The Judge while gone, traveled over , 11,600 miles, going East by the Northern route and returing by the Southern. He attended the Grand Lodge of Oddfellows in their Sovereign session at Baltimore and tiie Sovereign Grand Encampment in the same city, to which he was a delegate from the Grand Encampment of Oregon. The Judge save that the reports show that tbe Oddfellows in all of their branches have experienced a very pros perous year and that the order was never in better condition than todav. i . '1 ,19 f f , A4 ?A 1 THOMAS P. RYAN. The Oddfellows of the United States are right at the head of the secret societies of the United States both in membership and in tbe amount of bene factions they diflfnse. Alter having an ended the sessions of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, Judge Ryan visited his old home at Lowell Massa chusetts, this being the ftt visit he paid to tne place ot hi birth In many years. New York, Puiladelphia, Boston, and other Eastern cities ere next visited and he paid a flying visit to Montreal, Canada on both business and pleasure. On his return trip he stopped at Little noes, Amansas. where he attended tbe Trienniel sesBion of Grand General Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons, to which meeting he was a delegate from the Grand Chapter of tbe state of Ore gon. At the close of the session of the Masonic Urand Chanter, he visited Hot Springs Arkansas the most famous" Spa" in tbe world, returning borne by the way of tiew Orleans, and the Southern Pacific by way pf San Francisco. Judge Ryan says, that many peculiar conditions prevail in ibe East. That Dusiness conditions are unsettled and that capital is restless and uneasy. While all mills are working to their capacity and ever one seems to have Dlentv of work that distress and danger signals are up in the business world and that there areunmistakable signs of an approaching financial storm brewing. He does not believe that any crisis tb"t may be approaching will materially anect the coast country for several years. Al thoug his trip was along and tiresome the Judge enjoyed himself verv much. and was more strongly impressed than ever with the magnificent resources of tne country. KUIjXNO.

New York, Oct. 21 John Alexander Dowie is having a frost here. While it is true that he succeeds in packing the great Madison Square Garden at the opening of his meetings, it is a fact that before the services are half over at leant two-thirds ' of his curious audience eaves. The self-styled Elijah II rants and raves. He calls down all sorts of in vectives upon his dissatisfied hearers. He berates the press and openly attacks the ministers of the gospel, who are not by any means In sympathy with him or his followers. He has not. hesi tated to call eminent rel'gionislsmanv hard names. Dr. Charles Parkburst has replied in an open letter which appears below. Another grief of the Elijah is due to the fact that his Divine healings are not at all successful. The alleged prophet has accounted for failure in healings in a clever manner. He says: "The reason my healings have all gone wrong is because I forgot the difference in time, whereby the sacred h06t in New York is praying at 9 o'clock Eastern time and tbe host in Zion Citv at 0 o'clock central time. I have ordered a rectification so Chicago's prayers will reach Heaven at 8 o, clock. The heal ings are cow going on perfectly." Many of tbe hast are exhausted and have been taken to private New York homes and fed and sheltered. Forty, three are now ill from exhaustion. Carrie Nation attended tbe meeting last night and occupied a front seat. So many times she interrupted Dowie that he at last called his Zion guard and several policemlan. Bv this escort the hatchet-wielder was led from the hall. The crowd outside cheered when she was brought out and hundreds made a rush for the interior of the garden. The polii e feared a riot and closed the doors. allowing no person to enter or leave the place. During the whole meeting a great commotion was kept up. Dowie could not be beard a tenth of the time. At one stage of the meeting it was feared by the ponce tnat a iree tight would follow several of Dowie'i remarks, and 100 ex tra officers were called to the garden. The following is the open letter sent the alleged prophet by Dr. Parkhurst : MO MINCING MATTKBS. "New York, Oct. 20. I do not want to be presuming, but,doubt if it is any more presumption in me to come and try to clarify you than it is for you to come and try to clarify New York, and I do not know which of us has taken the heavier contract. I attended your service at Madison Square Garden last evening, and I went determined to en joy it if I could be benefited by it and go away away and refute some of the charges that I had beard alleged against you. But is was of no use; your be havior on the platform crushed every throb of sympathy I had for you. I never beard from a public speaker such a discbarge of effervescent wrath and coarse invective, i went to hear you preach the Gospel, and you preached uow'e, -ion uny, -stinK pot.' 1 wss as hamed ot you, and almost ashamed to be in your audience. It was a long way below the standard even of the circuses that 1 have attended in the same gar den. The only consolation I could de rive was that it was so abominable, and so far beyond tbe bounds of respectabil ity that even those in your congregation who did not know what Christianity is would have no idea that it had any thing to do with what you were saying- "Of course, the ridiculousness of the performance was mainly enhanced by tbe immensity of your pretensions. If you claimed to be only an ordinary man, there might be some hope for you even with what you call the 'rabble.' but the rabble is discriminating, and can discriminate as keenly as the keenest be tween a prophet and a juggler, between an Elijan and a mountebank. "I say this in no spirit of slander but either youi head is twisted or your heart infected, or you have blundered badly in your method. You cannot bully people into the kingdon of heaven. I hope you will take this in the kindly spirit In which it is offered, and that it will be blessed to you."
