Certainly not. Warner Grange No. 117 met last Friday and initiated eight new members. There are quite a number more for next lime. Warner Grange is quite prosperous and from all apiearance intends to get out of, the old rut which they have so long been in and at least try to accomplish some good. which can be done and must be done through grange organizations if it is ever ione. The grangers without anv doubt are thinking for themselves more than they ever have, and there are many questions of vital importance taken up and discussed from an agricultural stand point, which enables a treat manv to net belter views on subjects ! of great interest to the producer and which are bound some day to be of great benefit. Frank Kruse ol Tualatin grange came down and installed the officers elect of Warner gTange. The officers are as follows: C. C. Williams, M.; George Lazelle. 0.; J. G. Fos ter, Ch.; J. Casto, L.; Mrs. J. L. Waldron, 8ec.; Mrs. Geo. Lazelle, Ass't S. ; H. A. Waldron, 0. G.: Mrs. C. C. Williams, C. ; Mrs. Geo. Kidder, F. ; Mrs. Clema Martin. P. Mr. Cooper of Molalla grange was a visitor and participated in the installation. It would only be a matter of injustice to the ladies of Warner grange if we neglected to say that we bad a splendid dinner last Fridav. The members would uladlv have shared the same with the Fstekprise editor, Our pass word is Bunker Hill, so you can not offer that as an excuse any more. Come now, you didn't invite us. Eu.J In behalf of Warner grange we extend a cordial invitation to grangers to visit us at any time. Alter grange closed Frank Kruse went home with E. C. Maddo:k and stayed until Sunday. A very pleasant and interesting visit was enjoyed and several of the neigh bors invited in who participated in a small game of high five. Mr. Cleveland got as near out of the Jni ted States as possible for his secretary of the interior. The West is " not in it." Our folks up this way would suggest that congress repeal the sugar bounty act w hich allows 2cents per pound on all sugar manu factured in the United States, belore annex ing the Spreckles sugar farm. We see no reason why Mr. Spreckles would not be en titled to the bounty were the islands made a part of the United States, under the pres ent law, and no one receive any benefit ex cept Mr. Spreckles, and of course a few con gressmen whom he would have to purchase. Maple Lane. Maple Lane, Feb. 27. The entertainment that was held at the school house Saturday evening was well attended, quite u number being present from town. It was quite a success financially too, four dollars being taken in during the evening. Thursday evening a dance was given at Mr. Franklin's which was very well attended by the young folks. Dancing seems to be the favorite amusement in Maple Lane, judging by the number of dances which have been held this winter. Myo Brayton spent Saturday and Sunday with bis cousin, Milo Thomson, of Clacka mas. W. J. Watkins is visiting friends in this vicinity. He says he expects to move back on his place this spring. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Williams are visiting their relatives in this neighborhood. The Misses Maria Roberts and Maggie Hughes, of Oregon City, were with us at our entertainment Saturday night. Mr. Moutz and Mr. Gilhousen have made a decided change for the better in the orch ard on E. W. Swallord's place. They have been pruning it and cleaning it out gene rally. We want some one to come to Maple Lane who can play the riddle. Any such person would be heartily welcomed as fid dlers are so scarce here. About two inches of snow fell here this morning. Sink Doings. Mink, Feb. 28.-Mr. Wiedner is improv ing his farm greatly by digging out rock and hauling them on the county road. We know that everybody has a perfect right to dig the rock out of his land, but whether to pile them on the county road ought to be prohibited Is a question, as it takes a pretty good pilot to steer petwien the rocks and slumps as it is.

Sickness seems to pre vail here at present. J.A.Stanton is very sick with the grip. Mart Robbins is just able to be out again after being laid up for several days w ith a lame back. G. H. and H. M. Robbins are going into the fruit business quite etensively, and those wishing young fruit trees to set out next Tall will do well to buy of them as they have some choice pears ami apples. W. C. Woodcock met with a very painful accident one day last week. While taking the staging from the roof of the new church he slipped in some way and fell to the ground a distance of twenty feet, spraining one of his ankles very badly, but fortu nately no bones were broken. Quite a number from here attended the cai'pet rag sewing at Mrs. A. A. Bashor's and report having had a good time. Miss Maggie Woodcock, of Monroe, is here visiting her uncle Lewis Woodcock. F. M. Samson is making some improve ments in the way of grubbing which helps the looks of his farm very much. A. W. Perdue made allying trip to tsn verton last Saturday to have some achein removed. Highland Sift I rigs. Hkjiiland, Feb. 27. A snowy mantle has again covered the ground to the depth of three inches.

Iiniirmiee Marks Pit.uitlii, Feb. 28. Your Marks Prairie eorrosmdnent was over in the direction ot lliiltcvillo last week and "caught on" to a few items which follow: The little village of Ituttevillo pre sented a Very bustling appeatanco lust Sutiliday evening February 2.r, the occasion being a meeting cf tho Masonic lodge of that place. A very largo number of members and visiting bri'theren were present among the l.itt i being Henry Kiuuht of Canby, Mcttsrs. James Whitney, Amos Bench and Charles lluddlcnon of Woodburti. After an interesting rotation of lodge work the membcra adjourned lo their geniel landlord, J. II, Daw eon's hotel where a sumptions repast was served to which everyone did full justice. Attain repairing to the lodge room the Masons enjoyed themselves in a manner not soon to be forgotlon by those, present. Long and proierouB may be the career of this most excellent lodge. The Bulteville dancing club met the same evening Some time ago the young people organised a dancing class, at present nearly everyone attends and all havtagood time. Judging by this occasion it certainly ig a plceunt w ay of whileing away a few bouts among friends and acquaintances, The music was furnished by 'lie Yaughan band. The lUittcville library is progressing very nicely. Thia is a move in the right direction and everyone should assist this woithy enterprise. The ollicers of the Hop (irowera and Fanners Kite Relief association met Saturday February 25. One branch of this institution has been in operation for several years with the most fluttering results. Hop groweis in this way secure more economical insurance than they can in any other way la-sides in case of loss the payment of the policy in a short lime is absolutely certain. It in now proposed through branch Xo 2 to insure in like manner all farm buildings. All live farmers should encourage this mutual company, no interest to pay on large capital, no high salaried oll'iceis ami stores of lesser agents to pay. They propose to make this the ideal of safe, economical companies. There is at present some talk of build ing a new school bouse the coming sum u er, a large commodious one. and it is high time for the patrons toawaken to the fact that it pays better to have their sons and daughters educated at home, thereby avoiding the evil influence often surrounding a city school. A church is among the needed im provements and the sooner it is built the better. Homeseekeis, other things being equal prefer to locate in the com munity that can offer these advantage. Occasional.

Having selected the song to Ire sung at her funeral, "I would not live always," and the text of the sermon, "Blessed are they thut die in the Lord."

Elder Samuel Iroiis's subject for the 3rd Sunday in March, at the Teasel Creek church is, Christ the necessity to man of haying a Savior. His last sermon was on "man" and his relation to God. These sermons are full of food fcr thought and should be heard by all who are willing to allow themselves the free dom of honest thinking. Quite a good many are condemning the new form of collecting the "road tax'-' (dis)"cussing" the re-districting gener ally. Now, for our part, we have no "crow to pick" at present, but gladly hail anything that has a shadow of ad vancement on our former system of "come and go as you please" in making bad roads worse. At any reasonable rate, we are willing to give the new sys tem for Clackamas comity a trial, be lieving that this much yea, very much, talked of road question, must be settled sooner or later, that somo practical sys tem may be established into working order, that will work every dollar of road tax to the best advantage. A new store is being started at the Wrights Cross Koads. We understand they are to have a posloilice also, and that "Liberal" has been proposed as the name.
