that the Grange Is working along educa
tional lines, and is accomplishing much
in the way of bettering the condition of
the farmer. The city and the country are
more closely associated now than ever be
fore, and through the agency of the
Grange, he continued, the rural mall
routes have been established, rural tele
phone lines have been constructed, and
the farmers throughout the country
placed in direct communication with the
business and professional world to their
great advantage.
After some musical numbers. State Mas
ter Leedy read his annual address, which
included also a brief report of the Na
tional meeting of the Grange that was i
held at Lansing, Mich., In November, 1902. j
The Grange, said the speaker. Is the
greatest agricultural order in existence, j
and is recognized as a leader along ques
tions of legislation, affecting general and
National interests. The growth of the
Oregon State Grange during the past year
was greater, he said, than for any one
year In the last quarter of a century,
while the financial standing of the or
ganization is better than ever, and the
ordor never exerted a wider influence for
the better. The growth of the organiza
tion in membership has been steady.
State Master Leedv recommended thnt
the by-laws of the Oregon State Grange !
be revised.
The sessions of the Grange Wednesday
and Thursday will be devoted to routine
work. Mrs. Edyth Toiler Weatherred, of j
Portland, Is expected to be in the city
vednesday afternoon and address the
Grange on the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion. The Grange will conclude its work
Thursday with a banquet.
MALHEUR ALFALFA LOSS.
Breaks in Ditches Play Havoc With
First Crop.
ONTARIO. Or.. May 26. (Special.) The
first crop of alfalfa under the Owyhee
irrigation canal of Malheur County, will
be cut short by more than half, because
of the late Spring and breaks in ditches.
The loss and expense is now estimated
at something near 560,000.
Just how much the second and third
crops will be affected cannot be esti
mated with any certainty, but they will
be short. There has been a great amount
of work this Spring to clear the main
canals of the soil and debris which
washed down from the hills after tho
Spring thaw. The Owyhee canal Is 25
miles in length and from 24 to 4S hours
are generally required for the water to
make the distance, but this Spring the
water has never reached the lower end
before the banks were broken above.
Repairs on a $1000 break are now near
ing completion. This shortage of the hay
crop will affect not only the ranchers,
but the cattle and sheepmen who are ac
customed to Winter in the Snake River
Valley. During the past Winter hay be
came scarce and the price passed 510 per
ton, with a fine crop raised, consequently
some grave fears are expressed for the
future.

Machine Installed at Baker City Will
Do Rapid Work.
BAKER CITY. Or.. May 26.-;SpecIal.)-A
shecpshearing plant has been estab

ty. The plant consists of 25 machines of !
the latest improved pattern. They are 1

a skillful operator will shear an aver- i
age of 125 sheep per day, or about 3000
per day for the entire plant.

Between 60.000 and 75.000 sheep are ready
to be sheared by the Pleasant Valley con

Women's Headaches
. PoktUlSd Matse, Oct. 17, 1903.
I consider Wine pi Carflui superior to toy doctor's medicine I ever used and I know whereof I speak. I suffered foe
nine months with suppressed menstruation which completely prostrated me. Pains would shoot through my back and sides
and I would have blinding headachee. My limbs would bwcIl up and I wonld feel bo weak I could not stand up.
I naturally felt discouraged for I seemed to be beyond the help of physicians, but Wine of Cardni came as a God-send
tp me. I felt a change for the better within a week. After nineteen days treatment I menstraated without suffering the
agonies I usually did and soon became regular and without pain. ec
