It is a recognized leader upon ques tions of legislation that concerns the general welfare of our country and its advancement as a nation. -More new Granges have been organ ized than during any , previous year in the past quarter of a century, and the membership is .increasing very rapidly. The condition of the order in our state is very satisfactory. Our growth has been steady and the' in crease and membership and influence is very gratifying. M ' ' The publio press today, must be re oognized as a powerful' factor in the dissemination of knowledge and in formation and wields a mighty in fluence in moulding public sentiment and controlling the destiny of the nation. The press generally is rap idly becoming more friendly to the Grange, and reoogni4 111 yat oraor a vast power jfor good. Several papers of our state deserve speoial consid eration for their valuable service dur- ing the past year in publishing special articles and general correspondence. thereby 'bringing the work of the Grange prominently before the peo ple of the State.'

People of Oak Grove Not Favor It and Petition for New District Although the first movement toward consolidation of country schools was made in Milwaukie, Conord and Har mony districts, it has been productive of no results. The obstacle in the way seems to have been with the resi dents of Oak Grove, which has more than doubled its population during the past year, and wants a school of its own. The residents of that place have accordingly petitioned the dis trict boundary board. crniHiatinc f county judge, county clerk and the Sale of Red Polled Cattle. George JLazelle, the well known breeder of Red Polled cattle, has sold a herd of four to Wiliam Byrom, of Canyon City, Grant county. The herd.was a good one and brought $560. They were shipped by rail to their destination. Mr. Byrom has also pur chased a herd of Red Durham cattle from the Ladd farm at North YamhilL county superintendent of schools, to establish a new district. There will be no diflloulty in the way of the creation 01 the district limits. It will merely be a division of the Concord district and a majority of the school voters of Concord have agreed to the division, which has been made nec essary by the increased growth of Oak Grove. The little town is too far away from the present school build ing to be convenient. The district boundary board will meet July 2, at 4 P. M. to take action upon the peti tion. People living in the vicinity of Eaule Creek and Currinsville are interested in school consolidation and Superin tendent Zinser will address the people at Eagle Creek on the evening of Fri- day, June 5. He will explain the new law comprehensively bo that it may be fully understood. st Off Us In or der to get here before tt Is too late, you'll have to hurry.
