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. Brown was
ordered to report to his honor Monday,
and after a fewwords with the city's
chief executive; the officer surrendered
his star. Mayor Sommer insists that
the police shall not go into saloons
while on duty except on official busi
ness, and says that Brown has been in
saloons before.

the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Many new and attractive shows have
been secured for the gaiety boulevard.
Peter Mclntyre Killed In
Woolen Mill.
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. Mc
lntyre was a r.dspected citizen of this
oity and loaves an agod wife in deli
cate health, and it is feared the shpek
of the news may prove fatal. Two
children survive theii father, James
Mclntyre, of Northport, Wash., and

of Mr. Brandt it was promptly tabled.
Mr. Howdll, for the committee, ex
Dlained that it was not in the inten

concessions as a money making
scheme, but to keep grafters and sure-

COMPLETING THE HOME.
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
