Resolutions Adopted Condemn I Lea (fue aa Political Organization. Danger of Affiliation Pointed Ont at Representative Meet. Granges of Multnomah County have sprung to arms against the Indorse ment by the State Grange of the Non Partisan League. The Multnomah Coun ty District Grange, known as Pomona Grange, has adopted resolutions ask- ng the state body to reconsider its indorsement and local granges through out the county ara adopting similar resolutions. The Pomona Grange, at a meeting In Lents representing ten local granges in the county, by unanimous vote and mid cheering of about 500 members present, adopted the following resolu tion: "Whereas. The Grange la a non-sectarian, non-partisan order and tb State Grange at its last session at As toria Indorsed the Xon-Partlsan League, which is a political organisation; and People Already Legislator. "Whereas. The people of Oregon tin der our laws are privileged largely through grange efforts to enact any law or set of laws whereby their will la made manifest by use of the ballot, and therefore the State Grange of Oregon is fully able to act in rep resentation of farmers of the state. and we believe It should do so without any affiliation with any political league whjch, while ita efforts at present mlKht be well actuated, nevertheless might fall Into the hands of selfish terests seeking their own political ends; therefore. "Be it Resolved. That the Multnomah District Pomona Grange, in session at Lents, March 20, lilt, goes on record as not favoring any combination with any political party or league whatever, and that we Instruct our representa tives to bring thin resolution to the attention of the State Grange at Its nevt session." The resolution waa presented at the session and waa adopted unanimously. Another resolution waa adopted order ing the sending of a copy of thla res olution to the master of every local grange In the state. Campaign Follows Resolutloa. Following the adoption of the reso lution by the district grange arrange ments were made for a campaign in all the local granges. The subject will come up tonight at meeting of the Russellviile Grange at its hall on Base Line road, a mile east of Montavilla. This grange has a membership of ISO farmers In the territory east of Port land In Multnomah County. A feature of the meeting tonight will be an address by- Arthur Foster, a North Dakota farmer.

The operations of dishonest fuel deal ers in Portland will be brought to a end. Such was the declaration of city author'We ts. the Municipal Court yes terday, when M. Welser, of the Alberta Fuel Company, was fined J25 for violat ing an ordinance regulating fuel traffic. Deputy City Attorney Deicn, repre senting the city in this case, said that numerous complaints recently had been made by consumers that they had been swindled by certain dealers. In several Instances, purchasers of wood are aaid to have ordered a cord and to nave re ceived between one-half and three' fourths of a cord. In each case they paid for a full cord. The most trouble has been with alabwood, sawed in 16-inch lengths. F. D. Walters, 112S East Twenty ninth street North, who was the com plaining witness against the Alberta Fuel Company, aaid he had paid $6 for a load of wood which, upon being meas ured, contained by 69 cubic feet. A cord of slabwood, sawed in 16-inch lengths, contains 116 cubic feet, allowing for shrinkage. The short measure in this case was 47 cubic feet, or almost half a cord. The wood was measured soon after it was delivered by City Sealer of Weights and Measures Jones. I In discussing the case both Deputy City Attorney utecn ana Mr. Jones pointed out that if purchasers of fire wood would remember that a load of wood does not mean a cord, and con sider quantity as well as price, a con siderable saving could be effected and much trouble- averted. The city ordinance requires that In the sale of wood a bill be sent with the load, stating in cords or fractions of a cord, the amount of wood contained In the load. Many buyers assume that all loads contain the same amount, when, as a matter of fact, a load of short slab wood may run from 75 cubic feet up to six-sevenths of a cord.
