We are having quite a touch of win ter weather, cold nights and clear, warm days; the thermometer has fallen as low as 20 degrees above tero, hut no damage is reported as yet. Some potatoes in the ground have been frozen and the fall sown grain may have been nipped a little. Dur ing the month of November the rain fall at Estacada as reported by Mr. Lawrey, who makes the observations for the Government, was a little over IS Inches. In the higher autltude. snow has fallen to the depth of about three inches. Tie fruit growers of this vicinity met at Garfield Grange Hall Satur day, December 11th. and perfected a temporary organization; about forty of the growers present and all were enthusiastic over the possibilities of this district and all recognized the ' necessity of concerted action for the j benefit of all. Mr- Wanocot was cbos- j en temporary president, and Mr. Whit-1 comb, secretary, and a committee of five consisting of S. E. Wooster. P. F. Standlsh. W. P. Snuffin, E. Closs ner and x n Schmidt, were annointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. The committee has perfected Its work ; and has issued a call for another meeting to be held in Estacada at 2 o'clock Monday, the 10th of January. At this meeting a permanent organi zation will be formed and fruit grow ers and those interested within a raili ous of 18 miles will then be in a po sition to secure the benefits of the organization whose object will be the better production and sale of fruit and to secure to its members all pos sible advantages in the marketing of their fruit as well as building up a standard of excellence and to create a demand for the same. Willis May-field has sold his place in Estacada, two lots and residence, to Mrs. Irvin. The house will be re modeled and will when finished, be another fine addition to the many nice homes In the city. Two fine, new cottages are nearing completion, one belonging to Mr. Womer and the other to Mr. Miller. Both have very sightly locations and are substantial additions to the res idence portion of the city of Estacada Heights. S. F. Wooster and family are now occupying their new home in Garfield, lately purchased from Mr. Parker. This tract is in the Garfield fruit dis trict and will soon be planted to ap ples. v A week end party and also a New Year's party, was most hosbiiable en tertained at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Heylman. The Misses Stevens and Lewis and Mr. Hueber and Mr. Eastman, of Portland, were present, and a very enjoyable time v.as had Saturday evening dancing. Mr. and Mrs. Baker, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Bart lett and Miss Blanche Kellar were present from Estacada. The Portland gueBts took their departure Sunday evening. Roy Gilbert and Miss Mildred Kop lln were married Sunday evening at the bride's residence and took the ev ening train foT Portland, where they will make their future home. Miss Kolpin was a very popular young lady here and was formerly employed at the store of the Estacada Mercantile Company. During the past week several loads of pork have passed through Estacada en route to Portland; it appears rath er peculiar that the farmers can af ford to haul their products to Port land, but a complaint Is heard from numerous farmers that the rates of the P. R., L. & P. Co. are so high that they can well afford to do their own hauling. We hope the rate decision in the Milwaukle case will "open up something," and while the passenger rates may be lowered we hope to see the freight charges so regulated that the farmers can receive some benefit as well as the company. Gideon Krigebaum has been spend ing the week in the city visiting at the home of Mr. Irvln. The merchants of the city report a fine business during the holidays and the real estate men are all busy with newcomers, who are coming to our community. Cashier Heylman of the Bank of Estacada, was In Oregon City and Portland Tuesday. Members of the Garfield Grange are making groat preparation for the meeting of Pomona Grange, which will be held at Garfield the 12th of January. A special meeting of the Grange is to be held Saturday and the members will appropriately dec orate the hall. EAGLE CREEK. E. L. Talfrey and W. F. Douglass made a flying trip to Molalla last week.

Features in this Column: A Common Delusion "Artistic Temperament" Order and Self Control The girl with 'be artistic tempera ment has trouble mapped out fur Iter all her life. She goes by Impulse, and this Is a world where everything Is to be gained by cold thinking and mature decision. Girls with this peculiar temperament ore as full of moods as a shad Is full of bones, and. far from striving to correct this fickleness, they are proud of It. I have heard every fault under heav en condoned with the phrase. "Well, you can't blame her she has the artistic temorament!" and the only time this verdict is reversed is when the artistic one grows so old that slu ts not Interesting any more, when the phrase Is apt to be changed Into some thing less flattering.

A live debating society would be the salvation of the young people who have left school. Let us make sure ! that the habit of debating continues, ! and plan to keep a good debating society as the link between school J beginnings and the self-education for I which the school prepares. Of course the girls should debate too, and the Interest In public matters will not be wasted even If It may not be ex- pressed directly by votes. Infortna 1 tlon on the subjects for debate may ' be obtained at the Library, at Mrs. ' E. D. Hart's. i J.

SIIK POHKa COMriMUALLY. go-lucky teuijierameut, this absence of all responsibility, order and conven tionality. 1 even beard one woman artist say of another, "She keeps her bureau drawers lu order; she will never paint a picture!" But among people who ob serve closely this fallacy is being pret ty well discredited. The modern art ist or writer w ho succeeds does bo not by rovlug around the streets, eating and sleeping at odd hours and doing everything else at sixes and sevens, but by applying the same orderly methods to her line of work that the successful business man does in bis ollice. Contracts and orders are ex ecuted faithfully and on lime; conven tional clothes are the order of the day, and conventional manners as well. The only person who really clings to the Idea that the urtlstic temperament means general slopplness and the abil ity to do as you please regardless of other people's feelings Is the silly girl who has read Latin quarter stories and has a small dabbling of talent. Just enough to make her queer and not enough to make her h mount to any thing. She K)Sii continually, and she works spasmodically. Conventional people laugh nt her. so she declares they bore her, and she goes with the other kind, who take her seriously on condition that she shall return the compliment Indeed, a gath ering of such people of "temperament" resembles nothing so much as a crowd in a nightmare, where there Is some thing the matter with everybody and because of the general Infirmity every one has to stand for It. Artistic talent and temperament are fine things without which genius can not exist, but without order and self control they are worse than nothing. Affecting sloppy tea gowns and wear ing her hair In a weird way will not help a girl to paint pictures or to sing well or to do things that require hard work, and the home atiuosphere that In her affectation she calls "Philistine" Is the very one she needs to care for her nnd shelter her from bad food, bad advice and bad company while she climbs the mountain of success by means of well. hard, honest work, without which all the talent In the world Is so miK'b waste material that ill the posing Imaginable will never make amount to anything.

The drift of young people from rural homes to the city has shifted a ! heavier burden to the shoulder of those who remain, says I writer la the National Stockman. We no louger have tlio old methods ef entertaining the young people tu the country that were common forty year ago, when every schoolhouse had Its singing school nud literary society. The opera and moving picture show are only In the towus. The bowling alleys, bil liard ball, iHHilrooms and card tables are there also. There Is uo better method of over coming all these dlthYultlcs than to have In every coinmunliy a goisl, live grange. It encourages education. It promotes social relations. It aids the ! backward. It broadens tbe horizon. It elevates the morals. It teaches 'thrift and economy. It promulgates 'new Ideas and demonstrates old i themes. It develops it progressive I fanner who Is equal to those lu any Mother calling. It makes of farming a ! profession, dealing wllh scientific facts fully established. Il dignifies labor jand raises the- toiling husbandman to , a higher plune than he ever before has ! occupied. It Is no new thing. For forty years It has tolled for the benefit of the masses. It Is no untried thing. Its demands have ben heard by con gress and state legislatures. It seeks no mere selfish ends All Its past has been marked by widespread benefits. Dimit, Not Demit. In seeking honorable dismission from l grange a member secures a card known as a "dltnlt." This word Is often spelled Incorrectly "demit." for which there seems to he no valid rcn lon. A writer In the American Agrl :ulturlst' gives the correct derivation 3f the word as from the Latin dlmlt tere, to send away. Webster defines It as to dismiss, let go or release. iJemlt Is derived from the Latin do mittere, to send or bring down, to low ;r. A dlinlt from an organization does not lower one. and no grange should iccept bylaws from Its committee with jucb spelling In the text. Those senators ami congressmen boldlng down the grange's demands for pnrcels post, postal savings banks ind the grange good roads bill will ever have any monuments raised by popular subscription, my the Natlon il Stockman.

Iild you ever think alioiit the num ber of people that full not only iih , farmer, but at everything'; Many fall even to make a good living.

They miy farming doesn't pay, corn doesn't pay, and wheat doesn't pay. and line Htnck breeding doesn't pay. To hear them tell It. nothing pays, and yet we see all over the coun try farmer here and there who have grown well to do In these lines. The (Mi-ret of min-css must be sought not In the business, but In ourselves. Any business will pay If It ia the right sort of man back of It. Xo man can wiiveed without study ing Hiiecess and meeting It condition. If you are a farmer you must study the bnsluesM of farming to make iiwk'Ii out of It That dues not mean that you are obliged to know all the sci ence of agriculture, though that would help. Von must learn how to make every lick count and not lose your time and money In doing work that will not pay. One of the things that will not pay Is to work pisir land. It take Just as much time and labor as the working of rich land, but, oh, the dllTcronce In re Hulls! There I where you come out at the little end of the horn when you work poor land. Improve your land at ome or sell out and buy it smaller piece of good land. There Is no sense lu working Imi'l that brings unlhlng but nubliliiH when you cull do better. If you can't do heller, haul rich dirt from the woods all winter and cover the land with II. It will pay you to do so. When we think about our business j as we should It Is not hard to see why we fall anil also to see how we could succeed. Too many people don't want to pay the price of suci which comes In a close implication to busi ness. They don't know that If they once get absorbed In their work and push It wllh power I hey will be much happier thnn.lt Is possible to ho by dragging on In the old Indolent way.
