Last wee!; a noUeo was posted conveying the information that after May !!1 a 35-nilnute schedule would be inaugurated, to replace the present lu-miinite schedule. It is not known whether the new schedule will be placed in operation later. The re port that the passenger rate between Oregon City and Portland would be reduced from 25 cents to 20 cents and that round trip tickets would he sold for 35 cents instead of 45 still lacks confirmation, and it seems doubtful that it will bo made. The firemen of Oregon City will have a chance to make $250 on the Fourth of July, f0r Wednesday night, Inresponse to an appeal from Dr. A. L. Beatle, chairman of the executive committee, the city council authorized an appropriation of $50 for each com pany participating in the hose races on the Fourth.

SELLING Suspension Bridge Corner Oregon City, Oregon An Organization Which Seeks to Con trol Prices of Farm Produce. With considerable flourish of trum pets the Society of Equity, a farmers' organization, has announced Its pur pose to secure that great desideratum of western farmers, "dollar wheat." It has established headquarters In Chi cago, from which point It will direct operations. It proposes not only to raise the price of wheat; but to elimi nate the middleman's profits. Re marking editorially on this proposition, the Outlook of New York says that many attempts at accomplishing this, ranging from the social grange to the political Farmers' Alliance, have been made and all have failed. A looseness of organization when dealing with farmers widely separated and unwill ing to undertake co-operative effort on a large scale has been the inevita ble result of these unions. This mod ern undertaking evidently is not free from such dangers, for It Is reported that the cotton raisers of western Tex as to the number of 100,000 have se ceded from the central organization and will manage their own affairs. Lectures by itinerant organizers and conventions for the display of oratory will not hold a nation wide organiza tion together, much less one composed of farmers, and this new unlou must have behind it a direct, simple plan for betterment of the agricultural commu nities if It Is to win permanently. The farmer almost alone of the tollers of the world has kept his independent way. He has no walking delegate, no union scale, no system of licensed ap prenticeship. Neither has he indulged In high finance nor In the formation of powerful trusts. Yet upon his labor is based much of the prosperity that makes possible the trust magnate's de velopment It Is possible that the new union has 700,000 members, but unless they are held with unyielding force and obey the directorate as one man it will have little effect In realizing the dream of "dollar wheat," which seems to be the western farmer's ideal of material bliss. If the farmers of the nation succeed in raising materially the price of their crops at initial points, the con sumer must prepare to pay more for the finished product when delivered at his door unless the rise to the farmer shall come not from the consumer, but In lessened expense of getting the prod uct to market. Some day this may be accomplished, but reports concerning the present undertaking do not indi cate that it is to succeed permanently In changing the American farmer's condition, which, by the way, Is not one of great suffering. A GOOD IDEA. The Annual Pass Card Used by a Ver mont Grange. Union grange, No. 351, of West Hart ford, Vt., issues a membership or pass card that is very complete and Berves a good purpose. It Is shown below: There are few pleasures that equal the joy of the shopper who discovers A REAL BARGAIN He bliss is yoar's if you shop at out store. Oar constant endeavor is to satisfy our customers by giving them BETTER VALUE FOR LESS MONEY than they can obtain in any other store, and courteous and efficient service.

The report of the committee on de gree work at the recent session of the Massachusetts state grange was a most excellent one. We make a single extract: "In no order Is there a better chance to exemplify Its teachings than in the Tatrons of Husbandry. With a lesson for each degree and a ritual which leads us progressively, step by step, through the degree, we have a splendid chance to Impress the candidates with the teachings of our Order. With four degrees, representing the four seasons, and the lessons changing to correspond to the changes In the seasons, w fcave a ritual that Is based on natur and takes its teachings from the brown soil. There are no more beautiful or impressive sentiments expressed In the language of any ritual than In our mvn, and any officer that fails to do hU or her duty by studying and learniug their lectures does the Order a great injusties and cannot expect to make a favoiabl Impression on the candidates."

One District Created One Denied. The district boundary board yester day afternoon created a new district In the vicinity of Molalla, from the dis tricts of Molalla No. 0, Samson No. 35 and Dryland No. 71. There are people In the locality living several miles from any schoolhouse. The school house In the Samson district is al ready crowded and the people of that district do not feel like building an ad dition to their building. The board denied the petition of the people of Hihgland for a division of that district. It was Intended to take the south end of the Highland district No. 33, and create a new district but the notice did not define the boun daries in accordance with law, only giving the division line between the two portions. Attorney W. S. U'Ren for the remonstrators, said that the boundaries, properly described, should he a lino around the proposed district. State Sunday School Convention.
