Weekly Oregonian AND Oregon City Courier ONE YEAR $2.00 IN ADVANCE Influence For Good Work Might Be Lost. GRANGE HOME OPPOSED Permanence of Pomona Would Tend to Keep It Out of Touch With Majority. "A Granger" says that this "dis cussiou seems too be getting mixed for some oanse. " Is it possible that he thought every Granger entertained the same views as he does does before this "discussion was carried out?" And he does not seem to catch the meaning of "triangular" us used, when he brings it along this" straight away oourse" with "crooked" and he altogether "seems to misapprehend" the three-cornered field of discussion that was plainly pointed out .with the enthusiasts proclaiming their ideas from each point of the "tri angle." Nothing crooked here. Where is your wagon, now, my brother, with reference to the horse? Of course "A Granger" likes good things that come easily, but he is not not overly impressed with the "churn ing program," yet intimates that if the Grange concludes to do the churn ing, he will be on hand for his share of the "butter." Here is where we are putting forth the wor.l of caution. When the churn is being filled with a doubtful mixture to take the place of cream 'the expert demonstrating how much more convenient than the old way it is time for all true Grangers to sound the alarm, indeed, forseeing that the product of the "churning" is to be the oleomargarine of Pomona Grange permanently located. "A Granger" knows that when he goes to carry the "grub-box" 20 or 30 miles over our average roads, in time for Pomona meeting, it will take a good "appetite " as well as taste, to tell peaches from pudding ; would not any Granger with experience in this line much prefer to pay tne sum 01 ten cents for the two square (not "orooked or triangular") meals got up locally? It's the change that does people good when they get out from their homes, different food, water, air, soenery and people; yet my brother, for one location for Pomona fails to "see" again how meeting in the same place would tend to the "sameness" U mentioned. Pomona Grange gin settling to a permanent home would grow aristocratio and oat of touch with the oommon Grangers, and would therefore lose its influence fpr good work where iroBt needed right at the homes of the subordi nate Granges, My critic says, if the annual dues were made 50 oents a year (an enormous sum(?) for eight "wedding" dinners and sixteen good times (?) it "would settle the hall question at once," that is the adjust ment to "conditions" we referred to, then Pomona would be self-supporting and a pleasure much sought after, instead of a dread by weak sub ordinate Granges. We are pleased for "A Ganger" to refer to the 2000 ' put-up" by the Oregon and Washington Btate Granges. It infers that he does not think the National Grange was worth what it cost the two states. Be that, as it may, the National Grange met in Portland. The opportunity of re ceiving the benefits were offered the 5000 Grangers of our state, brought to the very thresholds, as it were. Say some 1000 members received the direct benefits therefrom, what would it cost the state Grange of Oregon, or the 1000 seventh-degree Grangers of the state to have sought the Natiional Grange at a permauont home, "cen trally located" (in Kansas)? Not much less than $100,000 a saving of 198,000 in favor of the National Grange getting out among the people. While we are quite favorably im pressed with a Olackamas county Fair to exhibit the varied and wonderful resources of the county at some cen tral location, we are not in favor of the "churning" process, since Pom ona did not choose to ohurn. If you want Fair "butter" keep Pomona hall oleomargarine out of the churn the mixture will not stand the test. MIKA KUMTUX MOOSE GLUCE? Surrendeied His Star. Speoial Night Officer Frank L. Brown has severed his connection with the force. Brown was appointed on the force by the mayor about two months ago, succeeding Charles Nob blitt. Sunday night Mayor Sommer tooK a look in Wilson's saloon, and found his officer there.

CAUGHT IN AN ELEVATOR Unfortunate Man Pinioned ' Against Joists and Met His Death In stantly. Peter Mclntyre was killed in the woolen mills Weednesday morning. He is 67 years of age. and was employed in the woolen millB of the Oregon Oity Manfucturing Company. He was putting wool in an elevator on the second floor of the now mill. While no one saw the occurrence, it is sup posed that the unfortunate man stepped over the elevator rail onto the elevator, which was standing about a foot above the floor,' and started it upwards. The momentum of the elevator was such that the sud doness of the ascent caused Mclntyre to lose his balance, Jand before he could recover his footing and get his body inside the elevator, he was caught against, the upper floor joists. The elevator was Btopped in tn in stant and Mclntyre was taken down. He crave a few gaspsand died.

A Few Suggestions to Wives and Mothers. Have yon ever realized that home is not really complete until there is a piano in it. It isn't home in the fullest sense of the term until that tnsot important factor in molding the tastes and inclinations of the children and young people in all that is high est and most elevating is in it For friends and visitors, too, the piano will at all titnoB furnish pleasure and entertainment. It deserves and always will hold ' the plaoe of honor in the very best room nf cottage or mansion. A most extraordinary opportunity to seoure a striotlv choice new upright piano at a very substantial saving in prioe is now presented by Eilers Piano House. It would seem that every home in Portland.

Terms to Club 'B'" members are $7.50 cash 'and $1.60 weekly. There are not many instruments left for sale in this olub : Prices range from $186 for rogular $375 kinds to $278 for the most beautiful mahogany or mottled walnut cased high-class upright pianos ever offered in the regular re tail way of.sellng for $375.
