Washington, Jan. 20. Unrestrained
opportunity to express views on the
immigration question was afforded
members of tho house today by the de
oision to toko up and consider a bill ap
proprlating $250,000 for an immigra

MAY 8KIP BUENOS AYRES TRIP
Washington, Jan. 20. It seemB
probable now that the torpedo boat
flotilla on its way to tho Pacifio will
not pay a visit to Buenos Ayres, as was
lntondod. According to the original
plan, Uio flotilla was to proceed from
Rio Janoiro to Montevideo. Now,
however, as tho flotilla is said to be
three days boh ind its itlnenrry, it Ib
probablo that the entire crulso up the
River Platte will bo cut out and with
out Btopping ac either Montevideo or
Buenos Ayres tho littlo vessolB will try
to inako tho run from Rio Janeiro to
Sandy Point, In the straits of Magellan.
Tho torpedo boats will thuB be given
athorough test of tholr ability to make
a long distance run and will also be
able to catch up with their eohedule
and oocompany tho battleships In the
pnssago of tho straits of Magellan, as
desired by Admiral bvans.
bill, the denatured alcohol law, and in
many states It has forced the passago of
better tax lnws, and other laws that
assist in giving tho farmor the benefits
of his labor.
Nor is tho work of the Grange alone
directed to the urging the passage of
laws. It becomes needful to prevent
the passage of some laws that would be
detrimental tc tho best interests of the
farmer, and that ia a part of tho work
the Grange dees.
Space will not permit me to go into
details, but anyone may obtain the de
tails by asking for thorn.
Although we take an interest In the
legislative work of our people, we also
benefit them In many ways besides.
to tne young man ana weman, we
offer a chanco to gain pleasure and
profit in the meetings of the Grange, ae
we carry on our meetings in strict par
Momentary manner, providing we get
the right person for Master, and so give
them a chance to learn how such work
is done. We also have literary pro
grams, providing we get the right per
son for Lecturer, and bo give them a
chance to practice speaking in public,
and appearing on the rostrum before an
audienco, all of which is a benefit to
any young or, In fact, an older person,
too, in these times of public awakening.
To the father and mother, who are
the providers for a family, it gives them
a chance to purchase theirneeded sup
plies in connection with their brothers
and sisters, and so gain the advantage
that is to be derived from wholesale
dealing. r.-r
Jt-To the home owner, it provides a safe
and sure, as well as cheap insurance for
hie property, and any member of the
Grange, who is attached to any subor
dinate Grange is entitled to that benefit.
Our Insurance is carried at exact coat,
and we are laying by no surplus to be
lost by poor investments, or by the dis
honesty of the officers, but we keep
enough on hands at all times so that
we can pay all losses promptly, upon
the proof being sent in.
In life insurance we have none to
offer that will answer the demands of
the great majority of our patrons, but
we are working on a plan, that will ul
timately furnish us a life insurance as
well as a property insurance, and on
the same basis, that of actual cost.
In the line of purchasing and selling,
we are not as well organized as we
would like to be, but as the dealers are
all in combines, and the commission
men are all united by common consent,
it behooves us, as farmers, to combine
if we would protect our own interests
and obtain tne itisc rewards lor our
labor and enjoy the better accommoda
tions that we might, have if we could
obtain the real fruits of our labors.
In the Grange we place woman where
she belongs, on an equality with man,
and so make our order a truly eccial
one. and our Grange work includes the
enjoyment of the fruits of our labors, as
well as the education of the mind, and
the guarding of the puree.
In conclusion let me state the pur
poses of tho Grange, as set forth in the
declaration of purposes adopted by the
founders of the order:
To develop a higher and better man
hood and womanhood among ourselves.
To enhanc the comforts and attractions
of the home, and strengthen our attach
ments to our pursuits. To foster mu
tual understanding and co-operation.
To maintain inviolate our laws, and to
emulate each other in labor, to hasten
tho gcod time coming. To reduce out
expenses, both individual and corpor
ate. To buy less and produce more in
order to mako our farms self sustaining.
To diversify our crops, and to crop no
more than wo can cult! rate. To con
dense Uio weight of our exporte, selling
less in the bushol and more in hoof and
in fleece, and less in lint and more in
warp and woof. To systematize our
wotk and calculate intelligently on
probabilities. To discountenance the
credit system, tho mortgage pvstem.
the fashion system, and every other
system that tends to prodigality and
bankruptcy.
We propose meeting together, talk
ing together, working together, buying
together, selllug together, and in gen-
oral, acting together for our mutual
protection and advancement.
If we, aa farmeie, become organized.
we have the power to ask for what we
want and to get It, becaueo wo have the
numbors, and all thac iB required Is the
union that is the means of unifying
that power.
Think tho matter over, and decide to
crganlze a Grango aud so help to make
this worm more worth living In.
Steamer Reported to Have Cpnveyed
Explosives to 8nuthern Port
Precautions Taken.
Paris, Jan. 21. Tho repcrts cabled
from Rio de Janeiruo that tho Bras. Han
authorities wore warned from Paris of
a possible attempt to blow up the
American batt!ehip fleet while In the
harbor there are true. Some time ago
certain suspicions indicating tho exist
ence of a plot to destroy the whole or a
portion of the fleet, either at Rio Janei
ro or in the Straits of Magellan, were
aroused and communicated to Rio Ja
neiro and Washington. A chartered
steamer was reported to have conveyed
explosives for the use of the conspirs
tois to Rio Janeiro, arriving there
about the middle "of December, and
John Fedher, whose name is mentioned
in the Rio Janeiro dispatches, was ono
of the men whoso names were revealed
here as implicated in the conspiracy.
The alleged plot is supposed to have
some rather startling ramifications, but
the evidence along this line is far from
conclusive and rents chiefly upon tho
statement of an Individual whose record
was subsequently proved to bo any
thing but creditable. Consequently
the whole affair Is regarded with much
skepticism, and indeed the presump
tion has been raised that it may bava
beea a deliberately concocted scare.
HENEY HEARING CLIMAX.
Government Witnesses Tell of Land
Stealing by Settlers.
Portland, Jan. 21. With testimony
strong .and apparently conclusive, the
government yesterday by several wit
nesses in the Hall-Mays conspiracy
trial exposed the bold and law defying
operations of the Butte Creek Land,
Livestock & Lumber company, and dis
closed to the jury how during the years
1900 and 1901 this company acquired
fraudulently a ccnsiderable' area nf
public land. By the same evidence it
was shown bow this land grabbing cor
poration by the acquisition of these
lands was enabled to complete the en
closure of a still larger area of govern
ment land to which other settlers were
denied access for grazing purposes.
Heney. for the prosecution, made
considerable progress in establishing
the existence of a conspiracy amcng the
members of tbe Butte Crek company
and he said last night that the govern
ment's ease would be supported still
further as to the alleged conspiracy by
the introduction today of more testi
mony of tbe same character as that
presented yesterday. When this has
been done, Heney will begin the next
step outlined by the prosecution and
will seek positively to connect Hall
and Mays with the conspiracy that will
have been proved again?t the efHoers of
the Butte Creek company.
