FARMERS AT GRESHAM
S
INSTITUTE IS HELD
GRANGE AUSPICES
UNDER
Members of Agricultural College Fac
ulty Give Addresses on Prac
tical Subjects.
GRESHAM, Or., Dec. 11. (Special.) A
Farmers' Institute Is being held at this
place under the ' auspices of Greshain
Grange, the principal participants being
members of the faculty of the Oregon
State Agricultural College at CorvalUs.
Previous to commencing the programme a
bountiful dinner was served by the women
of the Grange. The visitors missed car
connections at Portland and only "arrived
here at 2 o'clock, but ready and thor
oughly equipped to begin their tasks.
During the Interim between dinner and
the arrival of the visitors from CorvalUs
a meetinjr of the beneficiaries of the
Grange Life Insurance was called to elect J
a, director lor tne district cuuipnti
Multnomah and Columbia Counties.
Arthur F. Miller, the retiring director,
made a report of the standing of this
feature of the Grange, showing a mem
bership of nearly 1300 who carried insur
ance upon their lives in the order. There
are 260 beneficiaries in the district under
Mr. Miller's jurisdiction. A ballot being
taken Mr. Miller was unanimously re
elected to serve during the coming two
years.
A motion was carried to change the age
limit of beneficiaries to 55 years. This
action is in the nature of a recommenda
tion to the board of directors, which will
meet in Portland on the second Wednes
day In January.
The Institute.
W. TV. Cotton, who has large property
Interests here intended to be present and
make the address of welcome to the other
speakers and visitors, but was unavoid
ably detained In Portland and his place
was ably filled by Judge John F. CaplesJ
who congratulated the Grange and the
people upon their progresslveness and
enterprise in securing the presence of
such a distinguished corps of educators.
The College Visitors.
Then followed a general introduction of
the college professors who were upon the
nrocramme. Arthur L. Miller was unan
imously elected chairman and introduced!
Dr. James Withycombe, wno maae a re
sponse to Judge Caples address. He said
that he sometimes thought the millennium
was about to arrive when a lawyer could
come into a Grange and. sit beside a
farmer. He then paid a high tribute to
the Grange 6t Gresham and the vast re
sources of this -vicinity and continued:
"The agriculturists of this section have
been especially favored with good roads
and convenient markets, factors which
have enabled farmers in this vicinity to
enjoy a long period of uninterrupted pros
perity. The substantial homes and well
improved farms around about us are un
mistakable evidences of thrift, and If
these have been acquired without serious
impairment of the potentiality of the soil,
it augurs well for the future. Perhaps
upon close Investigation It will be Te
vealed that this apparent thrift Is the re
sult of a constant depletion of the plant
food In the soil. It this be the case, the
farmer's methods are faulty, despite his
apparent financial success. Agricultural
prosperity is ordinarily of short duration
when built upon systems of soil exhaus
tion." Following Dr. Witnycombe's address
came a vocal solo by George B. Preston,
after which Professor A. L. Knisely spoke
upon "Soil Texture, Its Influence on Crop
Production."
"Drainage makes the soil of better text
ure If the land is too wet," said Professor
Knisely. "Clover sod and some other
means give return of good texture. I
would advocate dairying as a means of
improving your fields, as it makes the
soil more productive than if all the or
ganic matter is sent off in the crops that
are shipped away."
In response to a question by J. W.
Bhattuck regarding a difference in similar
lands in different parts of the state, the
professor said:
"I am acquainted with land in Benton
-County, the so-called 'white land,' which
"bakes .and becomes like a brickyard. Clo
ver will make the soil full of roets, and
more organic matter will result. More
such matter in the soil here makes the
difference."
Miss Jean Miller then sang a solo,
"Where the Four-Leaf Clover Grows."
and was encored to the echo. She sang
another solo in response, and was then
followed by Professor A. B. Cordley, who
ppoke on ''Insect Pests." He said, in
part:
"Insects are predominant in all kinds
of life. There aro 10,000,000 known in
sects. The Insect problem is of much im
portance, as it is estimated that 10 per
..cent of all crops are consumed by them
more than all the state and Government
taxation amounts to. We spend more
time at the corner grocery store discuss
ing taxation than we do in eliminating
Insects. Many Insects are pests, and
"hardly a plant is grown but what Is sub
ject to their attacks. Birds are instru
mental in destroying many insects, such
as the t!oddling"moti, which are abundant
in the Fall, but scarce in the Spring, be
cause of their foe, the birds, which do
more than we do in their extermination."
Concerning the potato blight, Mr. Cord
ley answered, in response to a question:
"The blight here Is of a bacterial na
ture, and there is no remedy except to
pull up the, vines and bum them. The
blight can be prevented partially by
planting healthy seed and by spraying the
vines with the Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green."
Concerning the clover root borer, he
said: ..
"This pest is quite general. It Is not to
be found at this time of the year, but in
April the bettles will come out and attack
the old fields. They will deposit their
eggs, and the grubs will hatch and con
tinue the injury- The pests will not at
tack young fields, and the only remedy is
frequent rotation of crops not over two
J'ears apart." "
Oregon's State Food and Dairy Com
missioner, J. W. Bailey, was present, al
though not on the published programme.
He was Introduced, and spoke briefly:
"What has been done here in the past
0 years is not a marker to what will be
done in the next 20." He then recounted
the progress of ttie past generation, and
jaid old methods had been overcome, and
nothing could stop progress. "All the
Eyes of the East are upon us," he said,
"and in 20 years the City of Portland will
take in this place, and the country be
tween will all be built up as a city. Tho
time is coming when thevbusiness of tho
Nation will be done on the Pacific Coast.
Are we going to be prepared for that
time? If we are. Portland will be the
great city of the Pacific Coast."
Tho lateness of the hour precluded fur
ther discussion at the day session, and
the meeting adjourned to meet again in
the evening. The programme for tho
evening session was as -follows:

REV. J. WILBUR CHAPMAN, NOTED EVANGELIST, WHO IS
NOW PREACHING IN PORTLAND.
Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman is recognized as one of the greatest evangelists In
America. Some would even place him at the head of the list. He flrst came into
prominence in connection with B. Fay Mills, with whom he was associated
for several years. At one time he was pastor of the famous Bethany Church,
Philadelphia, which has a membership of 3000. and a Sunday school with an en
rollment of over 5000. Later he became pastor of one of the leading churches
in New Tork City. Some three years ago one of Philadelphia's millionaires. Mr.
John H. Converse, preslflent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, became much
interested in evangelistic work, and secured the appointment by the Presbyterian
General Assembly of a committee on evangelism for the purpose of arousing the
church to a sense of Its responsiSlllty in the matter of reaching those outside the
pale of Christianity.
Mr. Converse has given almost $100, 000 during the past few jears toward this
movement, and Dr. Chapman has been the commander-in-chief of the campaign.
Churches of all denominations enter heartily into the work, as nothing of a sec
tarian nature is introduced.
Dr. Chapman has been speaking at the First Presbyterian Church afternoons
and evenings since Thursday to crowded and deeply interested audiences. He
will preach tomorrow morning the First Presbyterian Church. In the afternoon
a mass meeting for men will be held at the Marquam, and In the evening a great
union rally will be held at the First Baptist Church.

and her pupils are showing great pro
ficiency, and have made up many useful
articles for exhibition and sale, the pro
ceeds to be devoted to the work. Exhib
its at tho Grange fairs have won first
premiums and provoked much favorable
comment.
The branch library at this place has
beconie so popular that there were not
enough books to supply the applicants,
and 50 more were sent out this week
from the Portland library. Miss Isom,
the librarian, writes: "We are very
proud of Gresham; It Is our banner -town.
The rooms are open Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday evenings, and are always
filled with readers and applicants for
books.7 Many old books and magazines
have been given to the library by its
patrons 'here.
TELLS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
Mrs. Wynn Johnson Delivers Address
Before Mothers Club.
Mrs. Wynn Johnson delivered an Instruc
tive lecture yesterday afternoon on the
Philippine Islands before the Mothers'
Club at the regular monthly meeting held
In the Brooklyn SchooL Mrs. Johnson's
address embraced a comprehensive de
scription of the habits and customs of
the Filipinos, what they wear and what
progress they had made since they be
came part of the United States.
Mrs. Johnson displayed a large number
of articles and showed how they were
worn. One of the most interesting feat
ures of her talk pertained to "the public
schools tha the United States has es
tablished in the islands for the educa
tion, of the rising generation of the na
tives, the schools being modeled after
those In this country. It was shown that
wonderful progress Is being made in the
Philippines. "The present schools," said
Mrs. Johnson, "teach general information,
while under the Spanish rule the course
of Instruction was limited." Mrs. John
son read a composition written by a
Filipino on the "United States." The
composition as read revealed to the au
dience the progress the children are mak
ing better than anything else. The boy
gave a full description of the United
States, the location of the country and
told about Its government, showing even
a better knowledge of its institutions
than many American school children pos
sess The articles illustrative of the handicraft
of the natives were examined by the au
dience. At the close of the address the
club extended a vote of thanks to Mrs.
Johnson. She accepted an invitation to
give her address to the children of tho
Brooklyn School so they may have the
benefit of the information it contains.
A report was received from the school
house committee, which was to the effect
that the outlook for a new building was
encouraging. The committee was con
tinued. There was a' large attendance and
a number of new members was received.
The Mothers' Club, of Brooklyn School,
is a success. ' .

RECTOR OF ST. XUKE'S,
Afihburnham, Ontario, Testifies to the Good
Qualities of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
ASHBURNHAM. Ont., April 18, 1903. I
think It is only right that I should tell
you what a wonderful effect Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy has produced. The day be
fore Easter I was so distressed with a cold
and cough that I did not think to be able
to' take any duties the next day, as my
voice was almost choked by the cough.
The same day I received an order from
you for a bottle of your Cough Remedy. I
at once procured a sample bottle, and
took about three doses of the medicine. To
my great relief the cough and cold had
completely disappeared and I was able to
preach three times on Easter Day. I
know that this rapid and effective cure
was due to your Cough Remedy. L-make
this testimonial without solocltatlon, be
ing thankful to have found such a God
sent remedy. Respectfully yours,
E. A. .LANGFELDT, M. A.,

LIVES IN GLASS H6USE
MILWAUKIE MARSHAL OBJECTS
TO OFFICIALS WITHOUT BOND.
At Meeting of City Council His Own
Is Found to Be Defective
and He Resigns. ,
At the opening meeting of the Mllwaukle
Council Thursday night the new city gov
ernment was launched for another year
on rather tempestuous seas. A big row
ensued over the bond of Recorder-elect
Jesse Keck, which, while accepted, was
pronounced somewhat defective.
Keck severely criticised other members
of the city government for not giving
any bonds the past six months and par
ticularly Mayor Schindler for allowing
them to go without bonds. For this rea
son Keck was turned down at the con
vention which nominated the "Citizens"
ticket. He had already been nominated
for Recorder on the "Independent" ticket.
As one result of the row at the meeting
of the Council he tore up his bond, which
had been accepted, and in a huff submit
ted his resignation a3 Recorder, declaring
that all the members of the city govern
ment had It In for him. The Council re
fused to accept his resignation, but laid
it on the table, until the next week.
Mayor Schlnuler was presiding. Council
men C. Kerr, O. J. Roberts, G. Keller and
O. S. Matthews were present. The Coun
cllmen were sworn in. Charles McCann,
Treasurer, and John Kelso, Marshal, sub
mitted their bonds, which were accepted.
Recorder-elect Keek's, bonds were satlsf ac
tors', except that the signatures of the
sureties happened to be placed before
Keek's name. This was rectified, but
Keck was not pacified and finally In the
presence of the meeting he tore his bond
jito pieces and resigned. This brought
Mayor Schindler to his feet, and In the
course of his remarks he scored Mr. Keck
severely for his actions. He said that Mr.
Keck had criticised others for not giving
bonds the first six months of the city
government, and now he had come in with
a defective bond himself, and got mad
when he was asked to rectify It. Coun
cilman O. J. Roberts also spoke with
some feeling. He said that he desired to
maintain good feeling in the neighbor
hood, but he would insist that henceforth
that no defective bond be accepted. On
motion Mr. Keek's resignation was passed
over until another meeting. In the mean
time he may reconsider it.
Mayor Schindler announced that the
committees for the coming year would bo
as follows:
Finance C. Kerr, O. S. Matthews. O. J.
Roberts.
Fire and Water O. J. Roberts, G. Kel
ler, C. Kerr.
Streets and Public Property O. S.
Matthews, G. Keller. O. J. Roberts.
Health and Police G. Keller, C. Kerr, O.
S. Matthews.
At this meeting the matter of securing
electric lights was taken up, and It was
decided to ascertain if the citizens were
willing to stand a tax levy to pay for
the lights. A citizens' committee was ap
pointed to canvass among the property
owners -and find out how they felt about
the matter. In any event the levy can
only be 3 mlll3 on about $50,000 worth of
taxable property. The General Electric
Company will be asked for figures on in
candescent lights.
The committee on streets will be able
to report on the cost of the proposed
sidewalks on Main street at the next
meeting. One of the objects of the Coun
cil and Mayor will be to promote more
harmonious relations between Mllwaukle
and the Oreson Water Power and Rail
way Company.
In case Mr. Keek's resignation as Re
corder stands, the Council may elect a
successor at the next meeting.

ON THE BABY
Coffee Even the Babies Thrive On.
The little daughter of a College Presi
dent -was saved by the use of Postum
Food Coffee at a time when she could not
take any solid food.
Baby's aunt says: "My sister and her
husband (who is Piesldent of a College In
Georgia) visited me last Christmas and
their little baby two months old was very
sick. I thought it was not properly nour
ished so I began feeding It on Postum
which I have used in my own home for
years with such grand results.
"You would be surprised to know how
that little thing improved. Sister had been
feeding It on artificial food that did not
agree with it. The baby continued to get
stronger all tho time we were feeding her
on Postum and when sister left here she
took Postum with her for she feels cer
tain that -nith Postum to feed the baby
on she Is sure of good, healthy nourishing
food drink." Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum Is made of the purest cereals
with absolutely no medication whatever
and when boiled according to directions It
Is heavy with food value and a great nour
lsher and rebullder as well as a delicious
drink.. It Is also a specific for all of the
dozens' of different diseases caused by cof
fee. Trial proves this.
