Officers Make Reports.
The afternoon session was mostly taken
up with reports of stale officers. State
Master Buxton's annual message was a
masterful review of the work during the
, past year. He made several recommen
dations upon proposed laws, all of which
are in conformity with the tenets of the
order. His report was referred to the
committee on division of labor, which will
take it up and make suggestions for
' adoption or rejection by the Grange.
' That committee's report will be made
' public before the close of the session.
) State Lecturer's Message.
The annual report of the state lecturer,
; Mrs. Clara H. Waldo, contained many
xcellerit suggestions and recommenda-
lions, from which are made the following
extracts;
Agricultural College.
The coming year will, I believe, see a still
closer tie between the work of this Insti
tution and the Grange. The Granges are
' already awakened to tho advantages of
holding farmers' institute!, and of Invlt
k in speakers from the college and station
whenever we have a picnic or celebration.
'; But we are not taking advantage as we
i should of the special short courses In dalry
i in and agriculture, held in January each
. year.
The Grange should use its Influence to
call the attention of farmers to these
valuable short courses. And I hope this
".State Grange, now assembled, will en
y deavor to have established a similar short
course in domestic science and home sani-
tation for women. It Is Just as essential
thai our girls and women be scientifically
v Instructed In home making, as it is that
our hoys and men learn the methods of
scientific agriculture.
Deputy Masters.
In the extension and Inspection work
which I have done this past year, in in
counties, I am impressed with the need of
' more uniform deputy work. It seems neces
sary that once a year, at least, the State
Orange should give a "short . course" of in
struction to its deputy masters, to the end
that they may enter upon their duties well
prepared and equipped to render high-class
service to the order. And I recommend that
the deputies be furnished printed direc
tions and instructions, as well as circulars
and leaflets for distribution, stating the re
sults of Grange influence.
And I further recommend that when any
issue arises demanding our united action,
that the deputies shall be Instructed es
pecially, so that they may do more and bet
ter work for the order. Our trained work
er are now too few to cover the field.
legislation.
" There are many legislative problems de
manding our attention, and we shall be
obliged to put aside all but the most im
portant for lack of time. The three great
topics we must discuss are. schools, roads
and taxation of corporations now paying too
little. Every state in the ITnion Is struggl
ing with these same problems, and not one
nat, yet arrived at a satisfactory solution.
The State Grange hesitates to take up
those large questions, and feels but poorly
equipped to handle them, but advancing
civilization will not permit us to "skip" any
lessons, nor to copy verbatim from the re
sults of others.
Because these problems afreet our lives,
and touch our homes and business, we must
set to work to solve them. The work is
thrust upon us! Take for Instance, the
formal School problem. The Grange has
never tried to solve it. but left It to others
better prepared. . M
. The Legislature refused to settle the
.vexed question, and the Governor declined
to have it left in hia hands, so now it
eoma that the whole people must take It
up and settle It for themselves, and I ven
ture to suggest that the Grange may start
the work going. The people either desire
'the four Normal Schools supported, or they
wish to see some of them tor all of therm
abolished, and it Is time they said what
they really ao want, and aot wait for an
other Legislative Assembly to misrepresent
them.
As soon as we can afford it and can agree
upon the details. I feel sure the entire
Orange will be glad to add some- steadily
-Increasing revenue to our common school
fund. perhaps the inheritance tax would
be sufficient to relieve our needs.
- There Is also no doubt that after our pub
lic schools are on a good financial basis,
and the state revenue Is large enough, the
Giange will be ambitious to see our t'ni
erslty and Agricultural, College as com
plete as possible.
s Road Building.
The' educational' and road building prob
lems are really enormous questions resting
upon the taxation puzsle. Above all else,
this tax problem comes home to Patrons of
Husbandry! The farmer Is often called
close-fisted and narrow-minded, an the
esners of automobiles ridicule him. .for not
hastening to build the roads the ciave
broad and heavily macadamized highways
from state line to state line! But really
the farmer is -the most generous of citizens-!
He gives by taxation, sums of money
for public use, which are out of all .pro
portion to his earning capacity, and the
amount of capital be has invested.
The Oregon farmer pays seven per cent
upon his gross earnings in taxes, while the
manufacturer and business man pays ahout
one per sent. The Oregon farmer is pay
ing what amounta to an Income tax of fult?
10 per cent, and he Is, besides, the only citi
zen who pays upon all his personal prop,
erty as well as upon his real estate. '
In Oregon the railroads pay taxes upon
only 14 per cent of their true valuation,
while the farmer pays upon 78 per cent of
his whole property.
In the matter of road law-s, we have a
problem equally puzzling, but with this dif
ference, every last one of us thinks he has
a certain fixed rule by which to solve It
sooner or later.
The demand for road legislation has not
been from the Grange, nor from any class of
farmers, and the reason is obvious. It Is a
fact that the commercial Interests of the
state suffer more from bad roads than do
the agricultural interests. Tbe farmer is
not agitating road building on an extensive
scale, because he knowa he can't afford It
at present.
Besides, he has his eye fixed upon a bright
and shining star of hope ahead with rural
high schools In sight, making new center
of rural population; why cannot the county,
with state aid, lay steel rails on the main
highways, and run passenger and freight
cars for our convenience at a small charge?
Such tracks would cost ' u no more than
really good macadam roads, and when re
pairs and extensions were desirable, there
would be a fund to draw upon. The owner
of a pleasure motor wants the broad mac
adam road, but the man who is asked to
build the road would generally prefer a trol
ley ride to the city. With denatured alco
hol we shall soon have a cheap fuel to
serve our purpose, and since it is the estab
lished rule for the state to furnish us high
ways to travel upon, why should we not ask
for steel rallE?
It seems certain, at least, that no road
laws resembling the Tuttle or Johnson acts
will now suit the Grange. We are opposed
to the provision for non-taxable bonds or
certificates. We are Inclined to the motto,
"Public roads shall be built by public, money,
and not by special taxation upon abutting
property."

TWO THOUSAND NEEDED AT
HOOD RIVER.
If Shortage Keeps Vp, Grangers Con
vention Will Be Asked to Help
. Harvest the Crop.
HOOD RIVER. Dr., May 28. (Special.)
Strawberry pickers are still at a premium
and many more must be obtained in the
next few daya it the rapidly ripening
fruit would be got to market. So far
fewer pickers have applied for work this
year than in any preceding season, al
though the crop is the best in three years.
While more help is coming in, there Is
not half enough yet to go around. It
is expected that shipments will double
up for several days until tho helghth
of the season is reached with constant
picking for several weeks.
Growers say that if the shortage in
help does not lot up before the Grangers
leave, they will be Invited to stay and
help gather the big crop. There is still
room for 1000 pickers who will be provided
with camping plaoes and work, as soon as
they can arrive.
DEFENSE- SCORES HEAVILY
Taylor Brothers' Testimony Not
AVhat Prosecution Expected.
MOSCOW. Idaho. May 2R. (Special.)
The defense scored heavily In the North
Idaho land-fraud cases this afternoon
when the prosecution placed C. W. and
E. J. Taylor, brothers, upon the wit
ness stand. They are nephews of Jack
son O'Keefe, deceased, who, had he
lived, would have been a cp-defendant In
this action. The former brother de
clared that at first he had an agreement
with hla uncle relative to a disposition of
his claim, but that Kester refused to
permit of the understanding existing be
cause Hester said it was unlawful. The
second brother said he could not remem
ber being coached to certain questions
which he answered incidental to his ac
quiring final proof to his claim. Both
men' amitted that O'Keefe gave them
the money to prove up with, and that
they committed perjury in the question
of their claims.
Th.e court found it necessary at one
Juncture in the day's proceedings to ad
monish the defense for asking question!
which It knew would not be permitted to
be answered, merely for the sake of get
ting tbe statement before the Jury for
the effect it might have.
In the examination of documentary evi
dence, -which consumed almost, the en
tire day, the prosecution had decidedly
the better of the argument.
STOLE BONE'S INDIAN DEAD
For This Two Hpqniam Clam-Diggers
Are Placed L'nder Arrest.
HOQUIAM. Wash., May 728. (Special.
Warrants were today issced for the ar
pest of two clam-dlggers of Moclips for
robbing Indian graves of the Quiniault
tribe. Over 25 Indians came to this city
today and entered complaint against the
ghoulish work. A warrant was sworn to
by John Chepalls, a prominent Indian,
charging the miscreants with robbing the
graves of his father and mother-in-law.
Several witnesses saw the work done and
informed the Indians. Speaking of the
matter,- John Chepalia said:
"White men cannot rob the graves of
our people and we won't stand it. Some
day we catch them and an Indian will
take his rifle and kill him. We want
to stop this work before it comes to
that."
Constable Anstie left today to serve
the paper .
ADD TO LAND LIEN
The Deschutes Company Will
Charge $25 an Acre.
STATE BOARD CONSENTS
This, It Is Expected, Will Enable
Completion of Irrigation System
AVhlch Reverts to Settlers at
the End of Ten Years. , "
' gAIi?M, Or., May 2?. (Special.) The
State Land Board today granted the re
quest of the Deschutes Irrigation &
Power Company for an increase of its
lien for construction of the reclamation
system near Bend from an average of
J10 per acre to an average of $25 per
acre. It is hoped that Tjy increasing the
lien 150 per cent on all unsold lands the
company will be .able to complete ita
system and fulfill all Its 'contracts for
supplying .water to settlers.
This order increasing the Hen was the
most Important of several decisions made
by the board today relative to the
Deschutes company's project. The order
is Important not only because of Its direct
effect upon lands not yet sold, but be
cause of the effect upon lands sold In
that and other projects. Heretofore sales
have been made at from $1.50 to J15 an
acre, according to the quantify of land in
a 40-acre tract that -.ran be Irrigated. Now
the price will range from J2.50 to J40 an
acre, the latter being for land that can
be irrigated and the former for nun
irrigable rand in the reclamation dis
trict. Thus, if a 40-arce tract contains 24
acres Irrigable and 16 acres non-Irrigable.
It will cost the settler an average 'of $25
an acre. Quite naturally those settlers
who bought at $10 an acre will place a
higher value upon their lands, since the
price of unsold Jands has been raised.
The same effect will probably bo noticed
in the Columbia Southern project, near
by, where the greater part of the land
has been sold.
This order of the board was conditioned
upon the Deschutes company agreeing
that at the end of 10 years the Irrigation
system will be turned over to the settlers
In good condition. Since those settlers
who have already bought would have no
Interest In the system, the agreement was
made that If any of them wish they may
pay an additional $6 per acre and become
proportional owners of the Irrigation sys
tem at the end of the 10 years. Until the
systotm has been turned over to the set
tlers the cempaany will made an annual
maintenance charge of SO cents an acre,
to be paid by settlers and to be added
each year to the purchase price of unsold
lands.
The action of the State Land Board was
taken after the reading of an extended
report from State Rnglneer Lewis, who
recommended that the maximum price be
$35 an acre, and also that the company be
required to give a $200,000 bond to guaran
tee completion of the system and to pro
tect settlers who make partial payments
before they get water. The board refused
to require a boond to be given, but or
dered that hereafter the company doposlt
with ther State Treasurer $1 for every
acre hereafter sold as a guarantee that
the system will be turned over to the set
tlers in 10 years. This means that the
company must deposit $1 for every $25 col
lected from the settlers.
Attorney-General Crawford and Engi
neeer Lewis will draw up a new cpn tract
embodying the determination reached by
the board. !
The board today held a conference with
reppresentattives of the reorganized Co
lumbia Southern Irrigating Company and
further extended the time for adopting
rules for a period of two weeks.

LINN COUNTY PEOPLE LAY
CLAIM! TO LANDS.
Refusal of Cash Tender to Railroad
Is Placed on Record and Farm
ers Move On to the Land.
LEBANON, Or.. May 28. (Special.)
The rush for railroad timberland has hit
Lebanon in earnest and for the past
three or four days there has been a dally
exodus of scores of persons rushing to
the county seat or into the timber belt
to secure claims. While many are going
Into the forests to secure the choice
claims from personal inspection of the
land, the others are going to the county
seat and making application for most
any kind of railroad land which is va
cant and taking their chances on getting
a valuable claim.
The land now being taken is that of
the old Oregon &. California Railroad,
and is situated in the eastern part of
Linn County and Is valuable timberland.
About 200 claims have been selected and
application made and the tender offered
for this land during the last few days.
An Albany bank Is in the deal through
which the money for the tender is made
and the applications are sent through
this bank, to another in San Francisco
where the tender of the money is made.
When the refusal of the tender of the
money is made, an affidavit to that ef
fort is made and this affidavit, together
with the refused application, is recorded
in the deed records for the county, and
the' parties go upon the land and make
some kind of pretension of Improvements
and claim the land as actual settlers.
The outcome will be watched In this
part of the state with real Interest.
Those who have gone in the land-grabbing
scheme are ready to fight the mat
ter to the last ditch and in any courts,
and the public sentiment is strongly with
them.

ROSY TEACHERS
Look Better In the School-Room Than
the Sallow Sort.
Toung folks naturally like comely ob
jects, and a good looking, healthy teacher
can do vastly more with pupils, every
thing else considered, than the skinny,
dyspeptic teacher can. The Instructor In
Latin and mathematics in a young ladies'
Bemlnary had an experience worthy the
attention of any teacher.
She kept running down a little more
each year until finally a genuine case
of nervous prostration set in and she was
confined to her bed for eight months, a
perfect wreck, physically and mentally.
She and her friends thought it was due
to overwork, but she now knows it waa
due to Improper food.
Of course the .physicians were called in,
but there is almoBt nothing that can be
done in such cases, except to rely on
well selected food and proper care. She
was put upon Grape-Nuts, all medicines,
also tea, coffee and iced drinks were
taken away. She had Postura Food Cof
fee once a day. The larger part of her
food was Grape-Nuts, for this .food is
made with special reference to rebuild
ing the gray matter in the brain - and
nerve centers.
The lady says: "I had been reduced to
85 pounds In weight when I began
using Grape-Nuts. The new food waa so
delicious and etrengthening that I felt
new life at once. I have now developed
into a perfectly healthy. - happy stout
woman, weighing 135 pounds, the greatest
weight I ever attained, and have a won
derfully clear, fresh, Tosy complexion.
Instead of the sallow, bilious hue of the
past. '
"Now I never have a symptom of dys
pepsia nor any other ache or all. Am
strong physically and I particularly no
tice strength of mind. I never experi
ence that tired, weary feeling after a
hard day's labor that used to appear. My
brain seems as clear and active at night
as It was in the morning and I am do
ing twice the amount of work I ever
did." "There's a Reason." Read "The
Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

To Hear
From
Cooper
I We wish to call the attention of the public to a series;
of "short talks" by L. T. Cooper that are to be published'
in this paper. .
CI The Cooper medicines have made a remarkable rec
ord in the leading cities of the United States during tho
past two years, and young Mr. Cooper has been the sub
ject of much newspaper comment.
CJ Mr. Cooper has met and talked with thousands of
sick people in his visits to almost every large city in tha
country.
CJ He is noted as a man of very few. words, and tells
briefly in these articles what his preparations are doing
for sick people and why they have been successful wher
ever introduced.
j Mr. Cooper's theory is that one-half of all human ills
is caused by stomach trouble, and the wonderful success
of his preparations in the treatment of stomach disorders,
kidney and liver complaints, rheumatism, etc., seems to
have proven this claim.
CJ Some time ago we secured tbe agency for these cele
brated medicines. We have been gratified by the extreme
satisfaction of those who have purchased them from us,
and advise every one to read these "short talks," as they
are full of terse, common sense."
