Senator Mitchell is a tireless worker for his Oregon constituent.", anil is constant! live to their best interests. He never leaves atone unturned to do some effective work in the interest of the people whom he rep resents, ai d his long experience in national legislation ami high standing at the capital of the nation redound to the advantage ol the people of Oregon. Here are some ol the important bills recently introduced by Senator Mitchell, which have been read twice and referred to tneir respective com mittees: For pavment of balance unpaid on Ore gon and Washington Territory Indian war claims for suppression of Indian hostilities in 1S.V) 6. a found by commission appointed by secrrlary of war, consisting of Genertl Rafus Ingalls, Captain A. J Smith ami Hon. L. F. Graver, pursuant to act of con gress, and disallowed by third auditor ol the treasury, as r his report of February 7, Another bill is to amend an act entitled an act for the relief of certain settlers on the public lanus, and to provide for the repay ment of certain Ices, purclia-e money, and commissions paid on void entries of public land. A bill entitling veterans of Ii.dian wars to admission to the soldiers' homes in the United States on the same terms and under the same conditions as veterans of the late war of the rebellion. A hill to secure the etliclenc) of the na tional guard ol the different states, by au thorizing the secretary of nnr to ftirni-h the national guard of earn stnte with the forty five caliber Springfield rifle upon requisi tion from the governor of said stale. Such arms to be in lieu of t'o-e now brimming to the United States in the possession of anch. guard. A bill extending the privilege ol bounty land to persons who served in the Indian wars of the United States s'ltwquent to March 3d, 155. A bill pensioning soldiers who served in the Cay use war, the same to be extended to . all survivors who served 15 days or more In the Cayose Indian war of 1857. A bill pensioning the survivors of all In dian wars, who served 15 days or more in any Indian war since tae year 1H 15, w hether as soldier.wagnn master, teamster or packer. Tin county court did the proper thins In ordering a survey and estimate of the pro posed road extending southward from the upper end of Main street and crossing the railroad track by an elevated roadway and ascending the bluff on an easy grade. It is a fact that does not relied much credit to the enterprise of Oregon Citv people, that th' Is nu sale thoroughfare leading imme diately into the city from the eastern and southern sections of the county. The farmer who drives Into town on the New Kra road, or comes in hv way of Seventh street down the Singer hill, does so with possible danger to his team and vehicle, as well as to the persons who ride behind the team. No one realiies this danger more than those who have to trav-l over the roads named; and the possible danger is magnified, until it materially redounds to the commercial disadvantage of Oregon C'ty. People do not care to risk their lives where they consider there is a possible dan ger of receiving fatal injuries, and the terri ble (ate of Waekbnrn, ho was run over bv tin cars and killed last summer, is still fresh in the minds of the public. It is to lie won dered at that Oregon City has never hereto lore taken steps in the direction of making a safe and easy thoroughfare over the rail road track and on an easy grade up the blutl. This route is practicable in every way, and is worthy consideration. Tint county court has made a levy of 2i mills, which is two mills higher than last year. This will strike the average taxpayer on i"ie first impression as being an exhorbi taut levy; but figures show that the levy is only two mills higher than last year, and besides the state board of equalization re duced the total valuation of all proerty in have scarcely yet begun to bo unfolded. The laboratories of nature are too numer ous and life is loo short to enable us lo make a special study of all soils, plant growth, food nulrhnei t and animal lilt'. Much ol this needed knowledge must come from the stndv and experience of others. The Grange has become the special edm a tor of the farmer in this direction, supply ing his needs in the most systematic and practical way that could be devised. T'ie farmer's wile, also, w hose opportun ity for obtaining a know ledge of many of the niceties of the home art may have been limited, receives most valuable i.mons from her sisters in the Grange who per chance have hud better opportunities and a wider experience In life. In a purely Intel liC.ual way the fanner needs and must have the mental discipline ami ripened thought which may he obtained in connec tion with the Grange work In order to give him an equal chance with other men from favored classes for positions of trust ami honor within the gill of the people. Hy study and application the ambitious farmer can do much hy himself, but he cannot lie come the ready thinker and easy speaker without discipline and public experience in tlil; direction, and the Grange Is the only organisation which affords him ample op portunities for the development of the la tent power of thought and speech which he may possess. In former times the education or the farmer was sadly neglected along commer cial lines. A lew years ago ho was not sup posed to know much about the market value ot even farm products, and much less could he have any detinite know ledge of the world's commodities and of the laws of trade and commerce which govern the same. Hut the Grange through Its associa ted efforts and co-operative methods ena bles the farmer to obtain a knowledge of the market value of every farm product and of every article of supplies for the farm and household from a paper of pins to a mow ing machine or self-binder; and more than this, be has been taught to estimate the amount of farm products in this and other lands; to study the law of supply and de mand ; to investigate the manipulations of the market, and to apply this know ledge as best he may to Ins own conditions of farm lile.

The unusual high stale tax too, adds to the burden ot county taxation, inese figures show that upon the w hole, taxes in a general way will not be any higher than hcv were last year, and the problem of which a few years bgo were as Greek ami Latin to him.

The transportation question, which Is of great interest and importance to the farm ing and all other interests of the country, is receiving much thought and investiga tion, ami farmers are thus preparing them selves to act with w isdom and discretion In the solution of this mighty problem. The immigration question with its far reaching consequences is also a topic for study and discussion in Grange work. But education in the Grange does nut even stop here.

This, iu short, is education in its broad est senile, and it can no more be confined to mere book lore than tbe sunlight to the dew drop. The Grange accepts this broad view of the word education, and applies it to every line and department of its work. It recognizes that the opportunities ol the farmer for social culture, intellectual devel opment, a knowledge of existing commer cial laws and conditions, and an under standing of the political and economic questions of the day were, in former years, limited in the extreme. By means of or ganization and co-operation the Grange seeks to overcome these hindrances to the nignesi aegree oi success in larm me, ami . jass to give ine larmeran opportunity 10 oecome I irpnur Tnhn , , selfish ends or party supremacy, regardless of the interests of the people. On the other hand, that country has the most equitable laws and is best governed whose rulers are under the direct control of an enlightened and loyal people. Iluring the entire existence of the Grange it has been a prominent part of its educational work to teach the farmer that he has a per sonal duty and responsibility In state and national legislation, and that this duty con sists In fealty to the principles of good guv eminent rather than in blindly following the mandates of parly leaders. The above are some of the leading educa tional features of the Grange. C. Utter hist.
