"' ratron of Haitiandrx. We hear from every lde of tho organi zation of nevr (tibordlnnte granges, , and of the election of ofllcers for the new year of tho granges already established. Tho worthy Master of tho Stato Orange has been nnswcrlng calls from a dlManco for tho dlschargo of his olllclal duties, and tho Deputy of this county, and also for other counties, have been busily en gaged extending the Order to new dis trict's, and wo havo reason to conclude that the popular movement grows In In terest and Importance, and promises to fulfill what the people expect of It. In a business point of view, the Order has acted with Judgment, which we concludv from knowledge, of the gentle men who nro appointed to act as agents for salo of products and for purchaso of supplies. Mr. A. J. Dufur is agent for tho State Grange of Oregon and Wash ington Territory, to reside at Portland. In tills position he can be of the greatest advantage to tho producers of the whole country, and the good sense of tho ap pointment Is commended on every hand, far A. J. Dufur Is known as a practical, common sense man, Ideutllled with the people, successful In the practical atlHIrs of life, uml qualified to conduct Impor tant business negotiations, There could scarcely have been a bettor man found in tlio State. Mr. J. II. Slump, of Ilucna Vista, was in town the other day, nego tiating for plows nnd other article, for tho members of tho Central Orange As sociation, which Include" the upper part of this Vulfey, and takes in tlio itouthcrn portion of this county. Mr. Stump is ugint fur tho granges of tho Central As sociation at Albany, another selection that could not he easily improved upon. Wo notice that tho prominent men otj tho Order nro tilmost Invariably of the i.lnfti klml of nraeilr-nl and stiecosafii r..r ,. .i ,,ii n.n. .,.i, .,,. ..,i I. a,.rl.i'i.... innnnllrVtlusiii lo mot nil business emergencies. We predict that speculatora anil monopolists will soon find thu farmers capable of protecting lliolrnu'n Ititnrnata In pvcrv rosneet Human nature Is tho same everywhere l and to bear and to forbear is ono of the moat serviceable lessons of life. Wo venture to predict for the Oranges that miiiio trouble may nrlsa In harmonizing their Interests iind satisfying ull the In dividuals who mako up thu bulk of socio- ty. There must bo great tact displayed by the most capable, for tho least capa ble are apt to bo the most exacting. Tho licit safeguard will bo that thero is a common good to attain, and the great est obstacle may prove to bo tho weak ambition of human nature for leadership. About tho safest way will ho to exclude public aspirants, and to show ambitious men that thocausu can proper without there. Demagogues will rush In, of course, If not carefully excluded, and wo should Judge that aetlvo political parti sans could be prolltnbly dispensed with. Men who hope to mako their connection with the Order assist their political preferment, can bo left on the back seats, If admitted at all, and tho man who has personal and scl llsh ends to servo has no claim whatever. Upon tho success f the Order depends, tun considerable extent, tho success of many branches of homo manufactures. If the farmers luy aside personal feeling and private Jealousy, uml each commu nity can bo cemented together for one ob ject, we shall see the production of the country, both In tho way of agriculture nnd manufactures, greatly Increased, and as thu producer Is henceforth to save n commission nil both the purchaso of sup plies and sale of products, ho will soon be mmu Independent In all rcspcets. The results will be the encouragement of homo labor; tho employment of artisans and msshaules: tho Improvement of country homes, and, as a consequence of the homes In our towns: the better estah llshment of schools and institutions of learning, and the better endowment of all charitable objects. Success of tho Oran ges means success of tho wholo country, and tho man who lets personal consilient tloas Interfere with success and harmony, If there tiro any such, Is u common ene my.

WILLAMETTE, FARMER. -"- the Hew- leir. - Tho farmers of Orego't commenco tho year 1874 under the most favorable pros pects for success and continued prosperi ty. This valley, especially, promises to be in tho future ono of the most favored agricultural spots In all tho nation, for the world Is demanding our broadstufls, and our Melds cannot ho too extensive to supply the demand. Oregon has struggled up from her wil derness stato against many obstacles, and her people havo accomplished won derful things for themselves, and that too when wo had little opportunity to reap the benefit of tho world's progress. Our fttturo is nigh at hand, for tho dny approaches when we shall possess many advantages wo havo hitherto been de prived of. To-day we see citizens of the elder States glad to come here and share with us the prosperity we havo built up. Tho prosperity which has blessed our producers during tho past six months has been shared by the Wii.i.amkttk Km- MRit, and wo look to tho future with hope that wcshall contlnuo to snare blessings of fortune, with our patrons. Few of I hem will ever know what we have risk ed In attempting to make a good agricul tural Journal for Oregon. Wo have at tained a circulation which Is already largo nnd still rapidly increases, so that w euro contest with the fact that tho far mers appreciate our cflbrt. It must bo still larger before wu can reap what wo havosojtved, but that Is coming, without a doubt. Wo have only n request that alt those who arc In arrears will com mence the new year by balancing no' counts with u, uml when that Is done wo can follow tlio apostolic Injunction: "Owe no man anything." bl'ltl.NOFli:..., uitAMii:.-.-..!. larmcr: mo following uro mo tiincers cu'cteu uy Slirli)i;lleld Orange, No. 12, l'atrous of I Husbandry, for tho ensuing year: John Kelly, '!

Dhah Faumer: For some reasons, I liko you best of all tho newspapers I read. Ono is, ion are nearest tho people, the source of moral nnd political renovation. I hove hope of tho Grangers I havo no hopoof tho cities. Innovation for our beloved country from tho moral anil po litical pollution of its rings and robbers, its monopolists and thieves, can only come, from the firesides of the farms. As In New York and other great cities, the honorablo merchants, tho true business men, have In each generation been re plenished from tho country tho clerk that was taken from the farm becoming tho Junior partner, and ultimately tho head of the house, while tho sons of tho city, learning its vices and following Its fastness, becamo spendthrifts, and slunk away Into Its slums nnd hells and bagn ios, and lastly Into dishonored graves. T havo liopo of tho Grangers, because tho mothers, sisters, and daughters of tho farmers uro a part of its institutions, and where they aro the vices must hide their deformed and horrlblo heads. I havo hopo of tho Grangers, because, they pro poso to crush out all monotiollcs, not only railroads and political rings for holding offices, but also tho monopoly of tho law. T havo often thought how strnngo It was that whllo men kent In a good humor and could agree about It they could transact tho most Important business among themselves, buy and sell farms, houses, steamboats, ships, rail roads, nnythlng that was property, but the moment they fell out about their trade or transaction, then tho great, cost ly, gigantic system of law, with Its para phernalia (saturnalia) sf lawyers, Judges, clerks, sheriffs, Juries, and fees, must be dragged In to administer upon the prop erty and perhaps too upon its contestants. And I havo asked, Who built tip this gigantic monopoly? What is tho need of It? Why cannot tho parties themselves, or somo of their neighbors, bu called In and udjust tho difficulty? Tho Grangers proposo to do away with this gigantic monopoly, and to arbitrate ull dlll'ercnce among themselves. I once advocated a modification of tho present system of laws In this: Thero should bo Justices, and Judges, nndjurlcs, but no pleadings. Kucli party to tell the Judge his claim or case, and tho Judge to write It in his book, and amend It as cither party might desire, to suit tho facts, and amend It at any to suit tho act. rso questions of law to bo made, but only questions of fact to be tried. On appeal, the case to be tried anew npon the facts. District Judges to havo appcl- lato Jurisdiction, and original Jurlsdlc tlon lit largo claims and over felonies county Judges, Jurisdiction over smaller mini and misdemeanors and Justice ships."! his system would do away wjth our costly Supreme Court, an expense of moro than twenty thousand dollars per year paid to settlo tho quibbles of the lawyers on questions of law. The only codo In this system would bo n declaration that (or every wrong there shall bo a remedy, aud the courts shall have power to do what is equitable and right In the premises, with the right of a Jury verdict to tho last, upon the facts, either of claim, or crime, 'the names of crimes and misdemeanors and their pun ishment; and tho courts: to, bo always open. If a system of arbitration can be de vised to meet tho wants of a wholo com munity as well us tho Granges, I should llko to sco the monopoly of tho law done nway ; also the monopoly of medicine, of deeds, nnd minerals clothed In Latin, uud the monopoly of priNtcraft. When tho peonlo become as well informed nn their rights, on their health, nn their relations to God, as they ougl"., they will need but few attorneys or ndvocstis. Go on, good Grangers; speed tho t'ay when i can join tne grim army oi rsutiucuaa neziar whom your principle faithfully carried nut will elect from their comfort- able ofllces nnd livlags, und turn out to grass. J.CI the farmer become tue legis lator, tho governor, tho otllcer, and you will soon see the aspiring and ambitious youths of tho land who now turn long. lite eyes toward thrso cleat mouoDolles. seeking to become the best tiller of the soil, the best horflculturlsts, In a word, inn nest lurmers. i ou nave tne nu moors, tho opportunity; elevate your noble and honest calling. You should rule tbo earth; you have no need of kiags, nnd emperors, and aristocrats. Why pay a man a great salary tor tioing youromciai work, and havohfm to look un and to lax you, wlieu you can do away with half tne omces, ami uo me neeuoti worn or tne others much cheaper ami more honestly? Why pay, a you now do, your ofllcera such high foes that you cannot atl'ord to go to law lor your riguu. wneu goou una competent men can be had for the ask ing who will do tho same work for, a reasonable salary? Look at Kngland, where monopolists havo seized the earth Itself, and poor men (born' In equality before aaturo). thoush willing, are uot anowKi to mi ine son a a natural ncm. . . . ....... i . . . These things will always be, unless you rarmers, uranger, who nave tue num bers, use your rower to root out these terrible moaouollr. In California, your Drotnera aro working broadly.

Daniel Clark, Esq., Masier of tho Stato Grange, has Just returned from an olll clal visit to the Pugot Sound coantry, where he organized three Granges of the Patrons of Husbandry. Duwamlsh Grango Is four miles from Seattle, has twenty-four charter mem bers, with Julius Horton us Master, and James II. Titus as Secretary. White Itlver Grango Is also ncarSe- tlc, hits twenty-four charter members, with C. W. Lawton as Master, and W. II. Ilow as Secretary. Until tho above Granges aro located in rich valleys and thriving neighborhoods. Olympla Grango Is near Olympla, ho nineteen charter members, with E. L. Smith as Master, and A. A. Manning as Secretary. , Urotks Station Is a delightful location on tho O. A C. R. It., with good roads connecting it with the adjacent country. It now has a neat church and two stores, a blacksmith and wagon shop, nnd not any saloon. Quite n vlllago Is springing up there, and in a short time we may expect to see It quite a good business point says tho Statesman. Tho Plalndealer's Coles valley (Doug las county), correspondent, says : "Busi ness Is dull. Tho farmers ore backward this winter In sowing their grain, and if the weather does not provo moro favora ble than it has been so fur not moro than a half crop will be planted."
