LOCAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM TO
BE INSTALLED.
Mutual Company To Be Organized
For Benefit of Rural
Subscribers.
Stock is being subscribed liberally
by Oregon City business men towards
a corporation for installing a mutual
telephone exchange -In this city as
the connecting link to the successful
operation of the 'rural telephone sys
tem in this county.
It is proposed to form a company
with a capital stock of $10,000 and in
stall an exchange having 150 phones.
This exchange has been petitioned
for by subscribers to the various tel
ephone companies throughout the
county.
At the rate stock in the proposed
company is selling, the company will
be organized within a few days.
Through the system to be installed
fully 1000farmers in the interior of
the county will be connected with
Oregon City business houses and res
idences. In a letter to prospective stockhold
ers, a committee appointed by the
Board of Trade, issued the following
letter, which has been largely re
sponded to:
"The' undersigned was appointed a
committee for the purpose of devis
ing some plan to take care of the
many farmers telephone lines through
out the County.
"I find that there are at present six
or seven different systems, .mutual
and independent, representing about
500 telephones, without any connec
tions with Oregon City, something
which they all desire. Some wish to
install their own plant. This would
necessitate several systems in town,
none of which will be able to give a
satisfactory service.
"The plan is to get a large number
of the business men of Oregon City to
organize a strong company, with a
capital stock of $10,000 divided into
1000 shares each of the par value of
$10.00.
"This sum will be sufficient to in
stall a first-class up-to-date plant, cap
able of supplying the town and also
of connecting up the many separate
systems in the country not only with
the business of Oregon City, but with
each other and at such reasonable
rates that none of them will desire to
build in town. Under any circumstanc
es, with such a local company occu
pying the field no other company
would desire to butt in.
"Over 200 country subscribers of
telephones have already signified
their willingness to help maintain a
switch-board operated by such a com
pany." Proposition of Pacifio States Com
pany. A majority of the rural subscribers
are inclined to think they are offered
a service by the Pacific States Tele
phone & Telegraph Company that is
hard to improve upon.
This company agrees for a charge
of $2.50 per month, for each rural sys
tem, to meet its rural line at the city
limits and provide connections with
the Oregon City exchange which num
bers 500 subscribers. The charge
of $2.50 includes the keeping in re
pair of the company's lines from the
central office to the city limits, the
charge therefor to be divided among
the subscribers on the rural line mak
ing the connection, so that in case
there are ten subscribers the expense
to each on this account will be but
25 cents per month.
To independent or mutual subscrib
ers the Pacific States Company will
furnish its long distance transmitters
and receivers for $2 per year or 16 2-3
cents per month, making a total charge
per month to each subscriber on a ten
party rural line of only 41 2-3 cents.
This charge will include the making
of connections with the entireOregon
City exchange of 500 subscribers and
all farmer lines connecting with the
system at this point. This rate of
41 2-3 cents per month also includes
the keeping in repair by the Pacific
States Company of all transmitters
and receivers it installs under the
terms of this arrangement.
In case a mutual line accommodates
twenty subscribers instead of ten, the
expense to each subscriber for the
service here outlined and offered by
the Pacific States Company will not
exceed 28 cents per month.
Another distinct advantage to be
gained by an acceptance of the Paci
fic States Company's proposition is
the all-night service to which access
will be had by all connecting rural
lines. In addition to these advantages
tne suDscribers to the mutual system
making the connection will receive
the 15 cent rate to Portland, the same
as city subscribers now enjoy. Con
nection will also be had at schedule
rates with all the towns and cities
covered by the Company's system.
Another Company Formed.
Wednesday night the farmers of
the Central Point district organized
a mutual company that will serve the
eonle of the New Era and Canby dis
tricts. The company has contracted
with the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph Co., for a year's service on
the terms outlined in the foregoing
paragraphs.
WINTER COURSES IN AGRICUL
TURE. The Oregon Agricultural College at
Corvallis will offer this winter, as
usual, two special courses along agri
cultural lines. which will be designa
ted The Short Course in Agriculture,
an l The Special Dairy Course.
The Short Course in Agriculture
will open on Monday, January 8. 1906.
r?t 9 a. m., an.i continue two weeks,
closing on Friday, January 19. The
course consists of a series of popular j
lectures along lines suited to aid hor
ticulturists, dairymen, and others en
gaged in agricultural pursuits in de
veloping the great, natural resources
of our State. The lectures are sup
plemented by laboratory work under .
the auspices of experts, who strive to
make the course thoroughly practical
by adapting the work as far as possi
ble to the needs of each individual.
The Special Dairy Course will also
open on January 8, 1906. and will con
tinue six weeks, closing on February
16, 1906. The purpose of this course
is to familiarize students with the
modern forms of dairy apparatus, and
teach the underlying principles of the
production, care, and manufacture of
milk into butter and cheese.
Students will meet for work six
days per week. The forenoon of each
day will be devoted to practical work
in the dairy rooms. In the afternoon 1
! of each day, except those devoted to j
cheese making, lectures and recita- j
tions will occupy the time during two i
or three hours.
In addition to the regular teaching
force, the services of an expert cheese :
maker, Mr. W. W. Grant, have been j
secured. Mr. Grant is at present in- I
structor in the California Dairy I
School, and has had a wide experience
as traveling dairy instructor in Can- j
ada.
There will be no charge for tuition.
and no educational entrance require- j
ments, for either of these courses- i
Board and room can be had in Cor
vallis at $3.00 to $4.00 per week.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all persons interested to enroll in one j
of ' these courses. An outline of the '
course can be had for the asking. 1

WORK OF THE GRANGE
ADDRESS OF W. K. NEWELL AT
MILWAUKIE MEETING.
Organization Capable of Solving the
Perplexing Question of La
bor and Capital.
In an address delivered at the Mil-
waukie Grange Fair, October 20, 1905, j
Hon. W. K. Newell discussed Grange
matters as follows: j
"I want to talk about the Grange a i
little. It has long been a spienaia
organization, but it might be, and It
is going to be, a much better one. I
am glad to see such farmers as Judge
Caples. H. W. Scott and F. E. Beach,
not to mention W W. Cotton and B.
Lee Paget, joining the Grange.
"I verily , believe that every politi
cian in the state has either joined or
applied for membership in the Grange
within the last year or two. The ben
efits no doubt, will he mutual; there
is little danger. that the Grange will
be 4led astray from its proper path, ,
while it will do the other parties
much( good to gaina new point of
view.' It shows a proper appreciation!
of the importance of the farmer vote, j
I have heard addresses made to farm- j
ers in which the speaker urged them !
to stay at home and attend to their!
farms, and above all things to keep I
out of politics. That is a much abus
ed word politics; properly it means
statesmanship, or the science of gov
ernment. Yet we construe it to mean
that a politician is only a petty seeker
after office or patronage. Rev. Newell
Dwight Hillis, in a recent sermon ;
said, 'The time has come in this coun-!
try when it is no longer a disgrace to
be known as a politician.' Pray tell
me who has a keener interest in pol
itics as a science of good government !
than the farmer, or who is better able t
to aid in securing a higher standard j
of public service? One of the prime .
objects of the founders of the Grange
had in view was the securing of a j
proper representation in governmen- !
tal affairs. Of course, partisan ques- j
tions should not enter into the dis- !
cussions. but there need be no party j
discussion on such questions as ex-
tension of rural free delivery of mails
the adoption of a suitable parcels
post system, the securing of just and
equable taxation; in fact, most all
the really important questions.
One of the best things the Oregon
State Grange does is to provide for
a legislative committee of three of
its members who attend the sessions
of the Legislature and look after the
measures which the State Grange has
endorsed. This work should be ex
tended and strengthened; this com
mittee should be chosen with great
care and its work looked upon as of
the greatest importance. . I do not
mean by this that we as farmers
should become partisan and be always
agitating for something solely in our
own interest, but with capital and
labor both strongly organized it is ab
solutely necessary for our own self
protection to be alert to maintain the
balance of power. In the great strug
gle between capital and labor, the
farmers who are both capitalists and
laborers, and, as such, able to see both
sides clearly, must be the final judges.
Nd man is doing his duty to the coun
try or himself who does not take an
intelligent, active interest in public
affairs.
We farmers, properly organized
through the Grange, can become the
greatest power for good, and can ac
complish almost anything we set
about in earnest. I recall an incident
related one time by Ex-Governor W.
D. Hoard, of Wisconsin. Several
years ago when the great dairy indus
try of Wisconsin was in its infancy,
Mr. Hoard and two or three other
men,,, who like himself, were operating
small butter and cheese plants, and
ident of the road, who was only too

Wilbert Thompson never knew a well day until last June he had been const.pated all M'-??
doctors treated him, but ail failed to even help him his health faded rapidly and on January 2.
J903, Mrs. Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband We thought the case
too serious and recommended that a specialist be consulted but he also failed to help the
patient NOW HE IS WELL.
Mull's Grape Tonic Cured Him
Mrs. Thompson first wrote us as follows: "My husband, ared 23, suffers from sharp pains In his stomach and
sometimes thinks it is his heart. Let me know by return mail what causes the pain, if you can. Mr. Ihompson
has been treated by several doctors, but they have given him up." n,,ii.. m,
We promptly advised that a first-class specialist be consulted. We quote: "We want to sell Mull s Grape
Tonic, because we know It will cure constipation, but 50c. & bottle Is no object to' us when a human life Is at : stake,
and if vour husband's case is as serious as you state, we suggest you consult a reliable specialist, not ; the advertising
kind, promptly." At the same time, knowing that Mull's Urape Tonic could do no harm, we advised its use until a
physician could be consulted. January 25 Mrs. Thompson wrote that a physician had been consulted. He diag
nosed the case as being chronic constipation and dyspepsia. His treatment was followed faithfully, but there was
no perceptible Improvement in Mr. mpson'8 health. Then he began taking Mull's Grape Tonic aud. on bept.
3, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson:
"You will remember that I wrote to you last Januarw in regard to my husband's health. It
Is four months since he quit taking Mull's Grape Tonic for constipation, which he suffered from
since birth. He took just 24- bottles of it and is perfectly cured. He is much stronger and has
gained considerably in flesh. I cannot thank you enough for Mull's Grape Tonic. It is worth Its
weight in gold.' Just $12 cured him and he has spent hundreds of dollars with doctors who did
him no good. Now I want to state my case to you and expect your early reply. I also have consti
pation, have had for three years. Kindly let me know as I am sure it will cure me if you say It will,
as it did all you claimed it would in my husband's case. I await an early reply.
' Very respectfully yours, MRS. W. H. THOMPSON, 801 Main St,, Peoria, III.

diseases we will buy a 50-cent bottle for you of your druggist

RATES
pl eased to grant them what they ask
ed. The grain pools organized each
year by the Waldo Hills farmers, and
the Mohair pools of the Polk County
goat raisers are illustrative of what
may be done by . organization without
any expense. Buyers are attracted
and better prices are always secured
than could be done by the individual
farmer. In fact, I believe their way
of grouping the interests of a limited
community the best way of organiza
tion. There need then be no salaried
officers, mischievous walking dele
gates, or temptation to abuse a great
er power.
