Thcro was quite a time ont nt Beavcrton, on Thursday, In answer to tho call or a (Irango rally, plcnlo and good time generally, Closo to tlio station, wlicro a young forest had started, tho ground liad been cleared of sur plus growth and all rubbish and every pre paration inado for tho comfort of thoio who should attend. A stand was erected for speakers and choir, and scat wcro arranged for tho audianco. Going out by early train wo reached thcro at nlno o'clock and found tho pcoplo already assembling. Thcro was a good attendance, of others oa well as Grangers, from Washington county, and quito a num ber of visiting friends from Multnomah and Clackamas wcro present. Tho day was suited to tho occasion, clouds shielded us from tho tun's rays and tnado even tho most tropl cal portion of July as pleasant as could be desired, a peculiarity of our climato that Is not equalled In many parts of tho world. Homo amaturcs have, organized a band at Ikavcrton, and tho presence, anil perfonnanco of theso gontlcmcn did n.uch to add to tho interest of tho exercise. A gleo club, com posed in part of school children, sang several Hongs very acceptably, to thotocompaniment of an organ. About 10 o'clock tho meeting was called to order by Brother ltichardson, Deputy for Washington county, and two hours wcro spent in different exercises. Judgo lloiso, Master of tho State Grange, was present, as announced, and delivered a carefully prepared address on tho benefits of co-operation, showing that it would benefit tho farmer and all others, but tho ' speculators who desiro unreasonable profits. Ho reviewed tho condition of far mers as a class and tho best manner for con ducting their affairs with prudence and suc cess. Judgo lioiso, is eminently practical and indulges in no oratorical flourishes, but speaks clearly and plainly to tho point, is always listened to witli Interest and has Influence for good wherever ho goes. Ho Is doir ;nuch by prudent counsels and earnest work to rovivo tho (J range and gio confidence hi it power for good. After n few remarks by Mr, Clarke, of tho WILMMETTK Kaumwi, who was very kindly could noi or would not say anything of Im portance against our glorious order. Our Worthy Lecturer, llro. Skirvinc', opened tho argument by a challenge, not as in olden times bv throwing down his sauntlct or clovo as tho gago of battle, but by defending by word of mouth against all comers our good' and glorious, order, it was not mcro bravado, but the truo and noble feelings of a Granger as ho should bo n"nd ought to be. Ho had ono or two antagonists but at tho first chargo thoy went dowp man and horse- as the saying is, anil their lances wcro shivered to atoms against tho invttlncrablo shield and stout lance of our worthy llro. Wo had short addresses from Ilros. White, Sampson, Kvcrett and others. Tho Secretary delivered a short ad dress In his humorous style, and also read a rhymo which ho composed for tho occasion, and which will bo sent to you for publication. It has no merit whatovcr attrched to it, but as it seemed to amuso and delight tho public, it may havo tnoro weight and influence In do- deciding tho wavering resolutions of both young and old that tho Grange Is for their benefit, for recreation, refinement, and enjoy ment to all thinking minds of tho right stamp. Tho rhymo may havo mora Infliicnco than tho most talented cpio got tip by Homer of tho olden timo or oor no lcs worthy poets of tho present day. I think wo ought to havo sociables or open Grango every two or three months -at least. This ono was a complete success, everybody enjoyed themselves to their hcartii.content, and felt it good to bo tncre, Tho only drawback wo hail was tho weather being so uncomfortably hot. Sol poured down his burning rays of heat to make up for lost timo in tho .Spring, Hurrah for tlio glorious Grange. V . II.

Kditor l'rcssi Wo aro In rcicipt of your favor of March., -Mi, enclosing small parcel of Odessa wheat, for whiohno thank you. It has been handed to a friend of ours who is experimenting with upwards of 1!! varieties from different parts of tho world, and this variety camo to hand quito oportiinoly. To look at, it docs not impress ono favorably, but being claimed to bo rust proof, gives it a valuo, at least to us hero, of gicat conse quence, You will boawaro that last year our wheat crops wcro atnost ruined by rust, all tho com mon and finer sorts succumbing to this "fell destroyer," ono or two sorts only proving listened to, tho exercises closed with n bene-1 themselves ablo t withstand tho disease diction from Kev, Mr, ICogcrs, Tho lleavcrton pcoplo aro very earnest In keeping up their Interest In tho Grango and In maintaining nil tho advantage to Ik derived from it. If tlio wholo country showed the aamo interest in tho cause, tho order would result in great liencflts. It must Imi that in timo farmers will understand their owu In terests well enough to co-operate through soino such association, but if they tub this ono fail it Is not iy to eo how any other can succeed, for this ono'coiitahis all tho principles that van be desired, and Is simplo and easy iu its operation. After tho exercises at tlio stand a call was mode to tho lunch' table where the baskets hail been emptied and on .abundant repast spread, that moro than satisfied tho wants of nil." This Is a foaturo of grango gatherings that Is always a success and cannot bo easily dono justico to in words. After dinner tlio crowd divided into pleas ant knots of pcoplo who Indulged in conver sation, whilo a largo portion gathered at tho stand and listened to impromptu inusio from both ladles and gentlemen, Many songs were charmingly sung and all spoka well for tho culture and social qualities of the people. Only a few days Jtoforo we had been In Jordan valley, close to the 'Cascado mqun tains on tho head waters of 'tho 'Santiam, a charming valley as tho sun shines upon, one too, that has a livo Grange, and a very hand soino Grango hall. Meeting the pcoplo of that vicinity returning from church, many of them in uico turn-outs and all tastefully at tired, wo recognised, tho fact that tho people ' of Oregon aro a superior class, at least equal to any couiuiuuity to bo found in thq world, ami wo Attributed somo portion of their ap parent prosperity and culture to the influ ence of a well supported, Grange in their midst, which Is constantly Increasing friendly feeling And improving social relatives. 80 also, at lleavcrton, wo felt thankful for a' temperate climate that could insure us such a delightful July day and a country that pos sessed a people with such superior qualities of culture and capacity for progress. All such occasions aa this have direct iu iliicnce for good on the people, and not only improve those old in years but Inspire the young with hopes and aspirations that insures better men and women. All development must be slow to bo certaiu and the work necessary to dsvelopo intelligence and Inde pendence In the minds of produoera must b carried 011 from generation lo generation, If need be, without hesitation or fear of failure, Jor the desired success will certainly follow faithful efforts. . Theso wcro tlio "Hiil Indian" (a sample of which I lend you) and tho "Wliltu Indian Club." Tho first, however, Is not a favorito with our millers, chiefly because tho color Is not up lo tho standard of popular tasto, al though in all other respects it is unexception able. Its kinsman, "Whito Club," is coarse grained and gives a larger proportion of bran than manufacturers caro for. It, too, is not looked on with much favor. So efforts havo been m.vlo this season to import the finer sorts from central India, and also from your Stato. A gentleman who has Just received a cargo of California Hprlng wheat lias kindly sent us a sample, It is much admired and, if found to bo rust proof, is exactly what we require. Hut climatic conditions being such a largo factor iu tho healthiness of cereal products, It has yet tolio proved whether our climato will, suit this wheat of yours. We olwervo that iu a late issuo of tho Pa cific Itural Press, you quote from tho Agricul turist to tho effect that Indian whea? is capa ble of withstanding "sevcro frosts." This statement of our must lo taken comparatively, and refers only to what wo dignify by the name of "severe" frosla hero, Theso rarely go leyoiid a slight crust on tho grass, and seldom form ice) so that there is no relation at all to tho frosts you havo in North America. So whether this wheat could stand a state of things with tho thermometer .10 lclow tcro Is perhaps doubtful. Further on, iu this ar ticlo In tho Press 011 Indian wheat, yon ao knowledgoyou aro somewhat "mixed"iu regard to "Hod Iiidian""and "Whito Indian Club.' Tho two varieties are quito distinct, though evidently belonging to the samo family, but, for the reasons I have already alluded to, are not Iu favor for shipping purposes. , 1), JlLACKsTOCK.

U - J I - 1 Juvenile Courage A feat of juvenilo courago and perseverance has just been accomplished by a French boy of 13 year. Three months ago, dissatisfied with tho treatment by an undo In Van's, ho started from tho capital with sixty francs In his pockets to go to his mother, who Is mar ried to a second husband, a French wniKinan in tho employ of 8hah at Taharan. With the aid of a map aud a guide book the little ad venturer tramped right across Kuropc, re ceiving such hospitality by tho way that, on reaching Constantinople, ho had still nearly halt his francs remaining. After a short rest in I'cra, he crossed tho Itosphoros en route for Persia, but, a llttlo beyond Scutari, was stopped by somo Turkish policemen, and brought luick till an Interpreter was found. His story being thus learned, he was p.mseil oyer to I'cra, and placed in charge of the trench Consul, in whoso custody lie uow is, unable to understand why he should lie inter fered with, and angrily Impatient to pursue hi journey. I.ove for Ids mother, and a keen yearning for her protection, rather than any mcro wild impulse of lyish adventure, seems to have liecn Id) chief motives throughout.
