If OREGON CITY COURIER FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1907. t: 1- 4 s ? 11 : UV3 F57 THE GRANGE Conducted by J. W. DARROW, Outturn, N. Y, Press Correjonfen( New Torit Stof Grange HOW THE FARMERS WON. Pest Master Aaron Jones' Great Per sonal Viotory In Washington. It may Dot le known to all readers of this paper tliat last January In Washington there was held a great commercial convention which was os tensibly called for the advancement of foreign commerce In the United States. It was really a plan for the advance ment of the ship subsidy scheme which some of the most Influential men, even those close to the president, were try ing to put through congress. It was an assemblage of 400 voting delegates rep resenting the shipping, mercantile, manufacturing nud allied interests from all sections of the country. It happened that the national grange leg islative and executive committees were in session at that time In Washington. They discovered that the farmers had no representation In the convention and asked that one of their number be ' appointed to a position on the commit- tee on resolutions. Their request was granted, and Hon. Aaron Jones, past master of the national grange, was appointed on that committee. The ablest lawyers and experts wore pres ' ent to assist in insuring the success of the scheme, and men who were worth their millions were there. Secretary of State Root made a powerful speech, and the convention was to close In a grand climax at a teu dollar a plate banquet, which the president himself was to address. We give the rest of tho story in the words of one present as printed in the Pennsylvania Grange News: But the schemers had reckoned without the grange delegates. JIardly had the tu multuous cheers which greeted the con clusion of Seoretary Root's speeoh died away when the quiet, persistent work of the farmers' representatives began to show, and opposition to committing the convention to the Indorsement 'if ship subsidy legislation gathered strength. This opposition rapidly lnoreased as It became known throughout the convention thut the resolutions committee could not agreo and that Jones, the grange representative in the committee, was leading a vigorous op position and gathering to him a steadily Increasing support. The friends of ship subsidy began to grow anxious to get the convention to act before the opposition could grow serious. Finally, In the middle of the afternoon session, the resolutions committee, unable to agree, reported both a majority and a minority report, the ship subsidy majority hoping to be able to carry their report through the convention. An attempt was made to rule out the minority report on a technicality, but this simply resulted In showing the entire convention that the ship subsidy advocates would, If they could, ride roughshod over all opposition. As the debate waxed lint It showed plain ly that the resolution In favor of ship subsidy would be dofeatcd, and defeat was only averted by having both reportB re ferred back to the committee for further consideration. Once again the fight was on In the reso lutlons committee, and from 8 until 11:30 p. m. the battle raged. The doorB of the oommitlue room were locked, and no one but the forty odd members of the commit tee was allowed In the room. How Jones handled our end was shown, however, by tho fact that he was the acknowledged leador of the fight whlrh resulted In the utter rout of the ship subsidy forces. The resolution finally adopted by the commit tee was a noncommittal one to the effect that the convention favors such legisla tion as would most effectually build up our merchant marine, the understanding being plainly that this did not mean ship subsidies. The grange and Its friends had won n great victory. On the floor the next morning, the last of the convention, the battle raged again more fiercely than ever. Bitterly smart ing under defeat, the advocates of ship subsidies denounced the resolutions sub mitted by the resolutions committee and fought hard to got the original ship sub sidies resolution adopted Instead. The II vo minute rule of debate was rigidly en forced, and the speeches for and against were hot and even bitter. Excitement whs Intense. From all parts of the hall nB inimy as twonty would clamor for rec ognition by the chair at one time. And so the fight went on. Bo far the grange representatives had been silent, oontent to let the opposition that had been stirred up show that it was not only the farmors who were opposing. Then suddenly above tho din tho clarion voloe of Aaron Jones compelled the Instant recognition of the chair, and a dead hush settled on the grent assemblage while It anxiously witched what was felt to be the farmers' ultimatum. And It camel Wasting no time In pre liminaries, In a few forceful words that struck the assombled delegates Ilka an eleotrlo shock, In the name of the Ameri can farmer and In the name of the great Order ho was there to represent, Jones registered his protest against the Indorse ment of ship subsidy legislation by that convention. It was the beginning of the end. Rhlp subsidy Indorsement was plain ly doomed. The leader of the ship sub sidy forces made a desperate effort to ward off defeat In an Impressive speeoh, but whatever of effect It might have had was completely nullified by the brief speeoh of State Master Derthlek, who followed. This ended the debate. And on a stand ing vote the ship subsidy advocatea who had planned the convention with such great hopes oould muster only forty-one votes in a meeting of over 400 delegates. Derthlok's speecn was magnificent, and, though less than five minutes long. It was spoken of by ninny prominent people present as one of the great speeches of the convention. The Question Box. Why do some granges refuse admission to village people, while others receive them? If village people have no Interest an tagonistic to the grange and desire membership most granges admit thein. . Although In a way it Is unconstitution al, It is practiced by many granges, with no evil results. The grange should be kept a strictly fanners' organiza tion. Who Is to pay a county deputy's ex penses when he visits a grange to Install its officers? . If a deputy goes ny ordor of the state umstor to install olllcers be draws pay from the slute grange, but If on Invitation of subordinate grange the visiting grange would be courte ous if it paid him expenses at the least, but It Is not obliged to. The Touch that Heals. Is the touch of Hucklen's Arnica Salve. It's the happiest combination of Arnica flowers nnd healing balsams over compounded. No matter how old the sore or ulcer is, this salve will cure It. For burns, scalds, cuts, wounds or piles, It has no equal. Guar anteed by Howell & Jones, druggists. 25c. .

Y Prm Correspondent New York Stat Orange RITUALISTIC WORK. Tims Devoted to Its Proper Rendering Is Time Well Spent. To one who has studied the ritual of our Order it almost seems a sacri lege to have the beautiful lessons of life and farm work murdered as they are at times, says a writer in the Michigan Farmer. No expression whatever is put into the rendering of the lectures. Notwithstanding one of our main teachings is, "Whatever is worth doing at all Is worth doing well." Olllcers should not only commit their parts to memory, but should study the expression so they may render thetn in a manner that will bring out In an im pressive way the lessons they are de signed to teacUf Let our initiates enter the grange for the first time to find everything in perfect order, officers and members performing their parts in an earnest, faithful manner, as good laborers on our grange farm, and we are assured of members who will take hold of the work In the same spirit. If, on the other hand, the new mem ber enters to find the hall in confusion, whispered conversations going on here and there, officers mumbling over some thing which he, they or nobody else understands, in the same way will his grange career be carried on. And another thing, the chief lesson we all have to learn In life Is that of discipline. Slight the work or the laws which govern our Order and this les son is thrown away. Impross upon our younger members that there Is a right and a wrong way to do things and you are making better men and better wo men, for they will be at all times ready to work together as one whole for the good of all. THE REPORT SYSTEM. Enables State Leoturer to Looate Weak Spots and Render Aid. New Hampshire, Massachusetts and this year New York are conducting a system of quarterly reports from sub ordinate grange lecturers to the state lecturer relative to the work of the lecture hour. The total Is little less than amazing. Take the New Hamp shire report, for Instance, which Is for nine months only, ending Oct. 1, 1900. During the nine months there were giv en In various granges of the state the following: Selections of vocal music, 4,292; se lections of instrumental music, 8,154; readings and recltatlous, 7,2011; essnys, 1,035; addresses, 810; draimiB, 74; farces, 204; tableaux, 435; discussions, 1,780; number of speakers on discus sions, 10,835; attendance during pro grammes, 134,784. Three questions were assigned for si multaneous discussion. In February 217 granges considered tho teaching of nature studies In our common schools and 8(18 persons spoke upon this sub ject before 5,421 people. In May the question whether the state should pay for the damage done by game animals protected by law was raised. Nine hundred and two speakers addressed 4,029 people on this matter. Co-operation In New Jersey. We shall have to look, to Now Jersey to find grange co-operation In purchas ing farm supplies most generally prac ticed. Here are a few figures showing tho value of such purchases for twelve months In several granges; Vlneland, $48,000; Friesburg, $3,200; Somerset, $!),0O0; Medford, $7,000 or $8,000; Hope, $2,700; Morrlstown, $43,000; Riverside, $14,835; Columbus, $4,500; Mulllca Hill, $7,000; l'loneer, $3,600; Mercer, $0,000. While financial bene fits accruing from grange membership are perfectly logltlmato, yet It Is not grange practice to emphasise these benefits or hold them out as Induce ments to prospective members. Co-operative Insurance. W. H. Vary of Watertown, N. Y., president of the Central Organization of Co operative Fire Insurance In that state and which Is largely composed of grango fire Insurance associations, reports for the year 100(1 123 Compa nies carrying 251,217 policies and risks of $307,274,418. Losses last year amounted to $799,000; expenses, $182, 408. The average cost of Insuring $1,000 of risk was $2.(17 for this year. A Hint to Grange Speakers. Robert J. BurdeUo, now pastor of a Ihipllst church In I.os Angeles, Cal., and always n humorist, is opposed to the length of the form of service for tho presentation of children and says that, as a rule, bethinks that the serv ice should not be longer than the baby. Likewise grange speeches should not be longer than the speaker can make them Interesting. The Question Box. What Is tho specific ndvantngo to a grange In becoming an Incorporated or ganization? The advantage of grange Incorpora tion Is that It gives the grange a busi ness standing, allowing It to buy, sell, contract--In fact, do business as an Individual. The acts of Its purchasing agent are binding on the grange treas ury and not on the members. If a purchasing agent of a grunge makes a bargain, It may be repudiated by nn In corporated grange and he held re sponsible, but If given authority by an Incorporated grange the grange Is re sponsible as fur as Its treasury goes and no further t hut Is, there is no In dividual liability. Lost and Found. Lost, between 9:30 P. M yesterday itnd noun today, a bilious attack, with nausea and sick headache. This loss was occasioned by finding at Howell & Jones' drug store a box of Dr. King's New Life Pills, tluaranteed for biliousness, malaria and Jaundice. 25c.

The house Is now occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Walker. THE CHANGE Conducted by J. W. DARROW, Outturn, N. Y, Press Correspond"1' New York State Orange POPULAR STAH LECTURER. Ha Keeps Thirty-two Cows on Fifty Aores of Land Successfully. Lewis J. Taber was chosen lecturer of the Ohio state grange at its last ses sion. He was born in 1878 of sturdy Quaker parentage and Is still-a firm adherent of that faith. He Is a suc cessful farmer on a small but Intensive scale, and that he has solved the prob lem of Intensive farming will be grant ed when we say that on a farm of fifty acres he keeps thirty-two cows suo ccssfully. Ills lecturer's programme for 1907 is one of the most Interesting LEWIS J. TABEB. attractive and promising that we har seen. The topics are all live and time ly, and the notice on the front paget "Members who cannot take the part assigned them must furnish a substi tute and notify the lecturer," indicates that Brother Taber inculcates prompt ness and conscientiousness into grange as well as farm matters. He has been grange deputy for Belmont and Mon roe counties for several years. WHAT MICHIGAN GRANGES DID To Promote Their Own and Neighbor hood Interests. Miss Jennie Buell, the former sec retary of the Michigan state grange. In a recent Issue of the Michigan Fanner remarks that there is wide, scope for every grange In the way of fostering a spirit of neighborhood pride and unity by every means that tends to neighborhood betterments. It may be to help introduce new crops. One Michigan grange distributed al falfa seed for Its members to experi ment with and so enlisted the depart ment of agriculture that an expert was sent to Instruct them in its culture and care. It may be to aid In bring ing conveniences and protection to its homes and members. One grange started a telephone system that has now covered the county and is extend ing beyond. Another grange sent a committee to ask that a certain rail road place a guard at a daugerous crossing in that vicinity. Rural mall routes have been repeatedly solicited through grange agitation and mall boxes and bulletin boards placed be fore farm homes. Co-operation has been established among schoolteach ers, pupils and patrons In some places, a notable example being the Hesperla movement of Oceana county, Mich., made possible because the grange fur nished the machinery through which It could be worked up. Cemeteries are being cared for through sentiment aroused and plans made in grange ses sions. Public advertising on barns, fences, stones and trees were decried In a certain Pomona grange until more than one Bald, "My boy has torn off the signs on the fences since he heard so much against them In the grange." It Is in the province of every grange to incite Its members to name their farm homes aud use stationery having this name and the farm specialty print ed on It, to keep the roadsldo tidy, to make their schoolhouses and yards homelike and to care for natural curi osities and beautiful trees and shrubs In public places. New Granges Organized. Secretary C. M. Freeman of the na tional grnngo reports that 138 granges were organized and 17 reorganized during the first three months of this year. New York state' leads with the largest list, 27; then follow Ver mont with 19; Pennsylvania, 18; Wash ington, 11; Ohio and Michigan, 0 ench; Oregon and Kansas, 8 each; New Jer sey, (1; Massachusetts, 5; Illinois and Kent ucky 8 each; Maine, Missouri nnd Indiana, 2 each, and 1 each for Califor nia, Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, New Hampshire aud Ilhode Island. Photo Wanted. If there is a farmer In the United States that cau give an Intelligent rea son for not uniting with the grange now after knowing of Its efforts to take care of his Interests, we would like to have his photo to place upon the wall In the hall of Ingratitude, says the grauge editor of the National Stock man. Suppose we all secure ono new mem ber each this year. It would double the membership. Had you thought of that? Instead of a round million we should have a round 2,000,000 members In the Tulted States. Tho Chautauqua quarterly for 1007 announces Saturday, Aug. 17, u grange day. WILLAMETTE FORTY-FOUR.

Y Correspondent New York Slate Orange BETTER GR4NGE spum A New Idea Being Worked Out by 1 Michigan State Grange. 1 Many grange stutes have their lec turers' conferences and ouuty depu ties' meetings, but It remaps for Michi gan state grange to Institute a confer ence for grange speakers Such meeting was held a few weeks ago., ; which was presided over by the state master and was really a school of in struction in the fundamentals of grange doctrines and their presentatiou in concise and forceful language v. sort of normal class for teachers and speakers. The purpose of the state master Is to furnish speakers for Po mona granges, so that at least two may go to each small grange county and from three to five to each larger grange county during the year to In terest the present members of the or der and to make them feel that they belong to an Important organization in the Order namely, the Pomona grange and to give assistance to the Pomona lecturer In order that the Pomona grange programme may be In every way superior to that of the subordinate grange. Although the Pomona grange pays nothing into the state grange treasury, it Is recognized as the gate way of access to influence upon the vital grange life of a country. It is In a sense a substate grange. About two thirds of the expense of sending out such speakers will be borne by the state grange and the other third by the Pomona. Michigan has herein set an example worthy to be followed by every otheil grange state. There Is too much aim less speaking at Pomona granges and) grange picnics. A few good stories followed by a- more or less practical? talk, followed by more good stories, seems to be the Ideal which a good many grange speakers have before) them, but there Is too much real, solid! work to be done, too many real, help-' ful topics to be discussed, to warrant any state grange in sending out meu who are Inclined to make an interest ing talk simply pleasing for the hour. GRANGE FOR GOOD ROADS. A Purely Grange Road Bill Now Before the New York State Legislature. The New York stats grange legisla tive committee has hod a new bill pre pared amending the Fuller-Plank law, so that poorer towns will receive a lar ger share of state aid and grading the towns according to the average as sessed valuation per mllo of road rath er than the valuation per town. In Its grading of towns for state aid under the money system the grauge bill uses the assessed valuation as equalized by both the board of supervisors and the board of equalization. There were numerous good road bills before the legislature, but none of them took account of the inequali ties that appeared in the working of the old law. The grange bill proposes to give towns with a valuation of less than $5,000 per mile a 100 per cent ad dition to that which they raise them selves; those between $5,000 and $7,000 valuation, 00 per cent; between $7,000 and $9,000, 80 per cent; between $0,000 and $11,000, 70 per cent, and between $11,000 and $18,000, 50 per cent. A limitation Is fixed for towns with $25,000 per mile valuation not to ex ceed $25 per mile annually, and towns with a nilletige valuation exceeding $25,000 will not be permitted to draw more than one-tenth of 1 per cent of their total valuation. This Is purely a grange good road bill. Newspapers Help Grange Work. Editors of country newspapers are well disposed toward the grange. They will use write-ups of meetings of local granges If they are furnished them; they will announce the programme in advance; they will lend valuable aid to the grange movement But they expect reports to have something in them. They want grange news, too, not stuff ten days' old. Every grange should have a local press correspond ent who should be selected with spe cial reference to his fitness for the work. Organized For Business. The l'enubscot (Ma.) Pomona Grange company was recently organized and has a capital of $200,000 for the pur pose of dealing In groceries, grains and feeds and all kinds of farm supplies. It also intends to buy and sell farm produce on commission, and there is a possibility that a cold storage plant will be erected in Bangor by the same company ha the near future. The legislative committee of the New York state grange could flud no good roads bill at Albany thut met grauge requirements, so they made one of their own. Talk grange among your farmer neighbors! All farmers should stand shoulder to shoulder these days for the principles the grange is seeking to up hold. The national grange executive com mittee hold a Joint meeting with the special committee ou grange life Insur ance at Albany, N. Y., ou April 25. State Master Hill of Pennsylvania has somi'tod hU slogan for 1007 "a Pennsylvania membership of 100,000." Orange fire Insurance was never popular and profitable as now.

The yield from the Na tional Forests will aid greatly to bridge over the period in which ma ture timber will be lacking, a period which will last from the time the old trees are gone until the young trees are large enough to take their places. The definite result, therefore, of the sale of timber from the forests will be to sustain the lumber business, to maintain a steady range of timber values and so discourage speculation, and, far more Important still, steadily to further the uninterrupted develop ment of the great industries depen dent upon wood.
