As you may know, this board is without appro priation from the state, and such ex penses as are -necessary have to be paid out of the pocket of the secre tary.

Can you beat this for economy- Ketd for Kconomy Apparent. A. C. Barber, state insurance com missioner, had the following to say In his reply to the governor: "One who hears the frequent com plaints from the citizens of our state concerning high taxes, at the present time, can only agree with your opin ion with relation to the necessity tor curtallng expenses in every possible way in the operation of the state's business."

BOUCK SPEECH DEPLORED Leaders Slake Clear That ' at All Times Order Stands Only for Constructive Programme. i THE OREGONLAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Jj. C, July 28. Radical ism In the Washington state grange and in the granges of one or two other northwest states as voiced by wuiiam iiouck at a recent state con vention of grangers at Colville, Wash., is deeply deplored by national grange leaders. Of all the farmers" organizations represented in Washington the grange proceeds by the most conservative course. It seeks to accomplish noth ing by attacks upon either the gov ernment or reputable leaders in the public life of the nation. Its repre sentatives sit down across the table from senators and representatives who have to do with shaping agrarian legislation and point out what in their opinions will be best for the farmers and the nation. At the same time they serve as a check to representatives of other farm organizations who advocate socialism in either a'small or a large way. Up to this time the grange, which is represented here by Pro fessor Thomas C. Atkeson, has de clined to enter any conference of farm organizations where there was the least hint of starting a revolu tionary movement. Atfceaon's Aid Welcomed. Professor Atkeson is an economist. not a propagandist. He has never sought, all those who know him best assert, to make money out of the farmers'" movement. He has sought only to help and in doing so has proceeded always by the constructive and not the destructive method, his admirers eay. He does not believe that the farmers can suddenly be lifted out of a slump by artificial means such as some of the legislative programmes now pending propose. No man is more welcomed before the committees on agriculture of the senato and house than Professor Atkeson, because he comes, members of those convnittees say, with sugges tions which show earnest thought in stead of devoting his testimony to raving about the efforts or Wall street to crush the farmer. Sherman J. Lowell, national master. is much the same kind of man. Fol lowing upon the unfavorable publicity which the grange in the northwest received through the Bouck speech National Master Lowell thought It necessary once more to define the fine principles of Americanism upon which the grange was founded. Grange Ideals Voiced. In a message to all the members of the national grange, delivered through the July issue of the National Grange Monthly, Mr. Lowell said: "No finer group of Americans lives than our grange folks, and the fact that here and there occasional in stances of disloyalty appear only serves to emphasize the splendid American spirit and action of the great whole. At the same time we must have a clear understanding that there is no place in our great fra ternity for a single man or woman in any state who will not line up absolutely and all the- time behind everything that is American and in support of all that .makes for the best future of this great republic. Any move in any other direction, any utterance that does not ring true to the flag, any attempt to use the grange name or to exercise grange influence in any other direction, is unworthy of the teachings of our or der and should be followed by the severest punishment it is possible to inflict. "It makes no difference who the offender may be the humblest mem ber anywhere or one pledged to ac tive leadership there is no place in the grange for any member or for any officer who is not all-American-in speech, in thought, in action and in Influence; and so lar as it n . the power of the national grange to prevent it no such person is going to be tolerated within our fraternity. Grange All-American. "Long before there was any world war, before one was thought of, the grange was proclaiming anu. iivius real American principles; its organic law has long required the display of the Stars and Stripes in every legal grange meeting in every state: and the programmes of thousands of granges have put emphasis upon the teaching of Americanism unfaltering obedience to organized law, recogni tion Ml the rule of the majority, sin cere devotion to the government of the United States and unwavering support of all of its purposes."

Movement to Recall Judge Eakln at Astoria for Injunction Against Fishermen Reported. ASTORIA, Or., July 28. (Special.) District Attorney Erickson, acting for the state, filed a motion In the circuit court today asking for a change in judges to hear the case of D. S. Tara- bochia and six other operators of purse seines against Carl E. Shoe maker, master fish warden, and John Larson, deputy warden, on the grounds that Judge Eakin is prejudiced in the matter. . The motion is based on en affida vit of John Larson, who says he be lieves Judge Eakin is prejudiced against him as one of the defendants and that the defendant cannot have a fair and impartial trial before him. Larson says also the nature of the case is such that a change of venue from this county cannot be secured, and he therefore asks for the appoint ment of another judge. The plaintiffs procured a tempo rary injunction a few days ago re straining the defendants from inter fering with the operations of purse seiners in delivering fish at points in the Columbia river during the Sun day closed periods. A report has been current on the street that the fishermen have been considering the matter of starting a recall movement against Judge Eakin because of the temporary injunction, and John Finney, secretary of the Columbia Fishermen's league, an nounced this morning that a meeting of that organization had been called to'consider the advisability of under taking such a movement.

Chemist Reports Ore at Gem Suf ficient to ' Keep 60-Ton Mill Busy Throughout Xear. BAKER, Or., July 28. (Special.) Enough ore is in sight at the Gem mine at Susanville to keep a 60-ton mill busy for a year, according to Miles Belden, who has returned from an inspection trip. The Gem Mining company is op erating the mine, a large gold pro ducer, and more than $70,000 has been spent in its development, according to E. A. I. Smith, secretary of the company. Many of tne stocKnoiaers are Portland residents. Mr. Belden was a chemist with the Oregon Smelting & Refining company which had charge of the bumpter smelter before it closed some years ago.- Fourteen years ago Mr. Belden left this section to accept a position with the Santa Fe-railroad in- eopper development in Mexico. : Ho is a graduate of the Oregon Agricultural college school of mines and has fol lowed the metallurgical work in prac tically every mining state in the west and in Alaska. Mr. Belden in a recent statement predicted that the mining industry in Baker county will be the greatest in the country, basing his opinion on the fact that- most of the mines already developed are preparing to reopen, and that others are being opened. , The Gem mine, 23 miles from Austin on the Sumpter valley railroad, has developed several veins, and now has more than $300,000 of positive ore blocked out, company officials stated. Over 2000 feet of veins, averaging six feet in width have been de veloped, on four levels, with a 350 foot shaft connecting- the levels. The mine is equipped with the usual build ings and camp buildings, besides a hoist house, a sawmill andL other buildings. The Gem includes ten patented mining claims. The ore has tested about 95 per cent gold and 65 per cent silver and it has been estimated that the annual profit of the company would be tll5,000. Officers of the company are: G. E. Smith of Grant county, president; J. H. Dunston, who will have charge of the work at the mine, vice-president, and E. A. L. Smith, secretary. , The company has opened offices in Baker. ' Experts who have visited the prop erty leased by the Western union a gen- 3 company at the North Fork of Rock creek, west of Haines, are enthusias tic over the outlook of the mine. The company is drilling a third tunnel and if it proves to be as rich with gold as the first two, these men said the mine would prove one of the rich est in eastern Oregon. The first two tunnels have been drilled for a distance of about 100 feet and are producing ore valued, when assayed, at more than $100 a ton. The experts said the property is producing this amount or. the aver age and that the ore is not being "high graded." The new holdings are under the direction of A. A. Fidler, J. W. Max well, John Lang and Andy Porter, all of Haines. The Buffalo-Monitor mine at Gran ite is being put into shape for a larger production than it has ever had, according to reports coming from the mine. A reorganized concern known as the Beaver Gold mining company is operating, with Norman Berkley of Pendleton as manager. Iucing the war the Buffalo-Monitor was operated under a lease and bond and had a good preduction. The mine is a gold producer, with contributing values of silver. . ' Mr. Berkley has had considerable experience with this mine, . Ulysses S. Hamm is foreman for the new company and O. E. Peterson of Idaho Springs will have charge of the as saying department..
