Corvallip, Oregon. 26ti Twelve law and constitutional amendments enacted by the peo ple at the election, June 1, have been in effect since Tuesday, June 23, when Governor Cham berlain issued a proclamation declaring them to be a part of tVio Inn? nf the state. Taking them in the order that they ' were promulgated Dy ine j secretary of state, it will be seen that. t.b time for holding the general elections will iiow be the first Monday in JNOvem oer in stead of the first Monday in June. Consequently the next general election will be held in Novem ber of 1910. By the reason of this change primary elections for the nomination of state and county officers will be held in September, the primary law fix ing the time for holding the pri maries at the 45th day before any general election. The governor's proclamation thus makes both fish bills effec- tive, so that UolumDia lviver fishing is strictly regulated on both the upper and lower rivers. Under the provisions of the prisoners' feeding bill drafted and enacted by the legislature primarily for the benefit of Sher iff Stevens of Multnomah coun to, all sheriffs in Oregon are now the sole custodians and guar dians of the prisoners in their jails. In Multnomah county al so the sheriff is allowed 12i cents a meal for the food furnished to the prisoners. liv virtue of the same vote of the people the University of Ore gon is safe in its appropriation of $125,000 for 1907 and of the same-anojOV'nt for eaetuyeaxjiere after. It is now possible for all pub ic orhciais wno are not uomg their duty under the law and custom to be recalled Dy tiie vot ers who are disgruntled over their failure to fulfill the oaths taken. Public interest is on edge waiting to see what part of the state the recall will strike first. The statute instructing mem bers of the legislature to vote for that United States senatorial candidate who receives the high est number ol votes at the gen ernl election is also a law. It will not be bindinsr upon the members of the legislature elect ed in June last. The proportional represents tion amendment is now in effect, and vet is not effective. The amendment provides for propor- tional representation, but leaves the legislature to wrestle with the manner of securing such representation. It is contem plated bv the amendment that the legislature by statute should irovide a way of securing such representation. It will be up to the next legislature, therefore. -- to enact a law putting into effect the constitutional amendment The corrupt practice act is now a law and from this time on it is illegal to offer cigars to the prospective voters and politica supporters. In fact, under the act it is illegal to do anything except silently cast a ballot in the box, or at least nearly as close drawn a condition as that. Hereafter campaigns are 10 ue conducted through the Secretary of State and State Printer, so iar as advertising is concerned. The state printer is to make pamph lets setting forth the claims of the various candidates as to why they should be elected. The cost of the pamphlets is to be borne by the candidates, who are to pay from to $ iw a page iut The Secretary of State will mail the pamphlets to the registered voters a iew uav before the primaries and another set shortly before the general election. Grand juries have come back to the people of the state and the, district attorney of any district! is not empowered to sit as a grand jury from this time on. All indictments are now to be returned by juries and the tiling of information on the complaint of the district attorney is now a thing of the past. Hood River county is now in good working order and is run ning under the administration of a set of officials appointed by the governor not long ago. BANKS AND BANKING Pnrt. of an address by H. S. Fletcher, President of the Bank of Watson ville, before the Call ' Association, as 1U1 iiu w"lv ' follows: . QUALIFICATIONS OF A BANKER "A banker should be a special ist. Experience in our profes- eirn as in everv other, is the bp.st teacher, and the more we Via t.vo oTfat.fir its value to the institution we are connected with "Politics and religion do not with banking. We ehm-il PTef.ihe ODinionsr- of. - s. - . . -1 , otners in rengiuu, anu wo uoy a perfect right to follow the dic tates of our own consciences in the matter of religion, but when a banker adds a show 01 devotion to his Qualities as a banker for advantage to his business, it sav ors too much 01 hypocrisy to De satisfactory or respectable. "In politics every citizen snouiu havfi an opinion and a decided one, and a banker should always be found on the side ot honesty and honest administration; but remember that a good politician is alwavs a poor banker, just as sure as a good banker is always a poor politician. 1 eopie witn money are not looking for trus tees for their funds from the ranks of politicians, for as a class they have been known as "scaly" since the time ol Elizabeth. OVERDRAFTS. "No person, firm or corpora tion was ever granted the privi- lptrfi of overdrawing but what a bused it and went beyond the limit, np-reed upon. This seems - . . . T 1 like a broad assertion, yet 1 nave no doubt but what the experi ence of my hearers will warrant my position. "The loss of an account that is constantly being overdrawn is n o-ain to the bank. A bank that allows overdrafts is like the driv er who nas neiuier wutu lines. The results that are sure to follow, to the embarassment of the bank, depend solely upon circumstances and time. "An overdrawn account shows shiftlessness both on the part of the borrower and lender. There is lio logic in allowing such a custom. Who would think of asking a private money lender to keep an undetermined amount subject to the order of a drawer, if needed, paying interest only on the sum that was used r PERSONAL SOLICITATIONS OF AC COUNTS. "Conservativeand self-respect- ino- hnnl-s ran never approve the practice of personal solicitation ot accounts, or pari 01 an ac count. A divided account is worth less than half of its entire ty. The banker's slogan should be, 'Give all your business 10 one bank.' 'When ftp counts come to a bank as the result of personal solicitation, it frequently nap- nATis that, thev bring with them requests lor accommodations i 1 1 that have to be reiused or loss result, and the strife for business amono-bankers is taken advant afre of bv shrewd men who play one banker against the other for their own advantage, tnus piau- ino- the results Irom tnis ousi- ness on the wrong side and be- trettms-the enmity, andiustiy, oi banks losing customers through the solicitations of others. 'Tn the list of recent failures you will find that the policy of all suspended DanKs was to solic it business. One of the large Eastern banks that failed had a corps of solicitors, and worked in such a selfish manner that it was known as the 'Bank Pirate. When times of stringency came this bank suffered from lack of srmrvort from the other banks which had lost from its hoggish methods during prosperous times should. "How much to be valued, and how much greater the chance that pleasant relations will tol- low from accounts that come to ns unsolicited. "Bankers who solicit deposits always convey the impression that they need the money. J never asked a man lor nis ousi ness. I never will. I am satis fied with the results that have followed this policy." THE SAILFISH. It Takes Great Skill to Land Him With Reel and Rod. The small number of sailfish an nually taken in Atlantic waters is partially explained by the uncer tainties and difficulties to' be en countered in locating their pres ence as well as the great skill, ex perience and endurance required in handling tnem witn rou auu ice.

THE GRANGE I Conducted by X W. DARXOW. Chaihm. N. Y Prest CbrrespctwJmt Kcw York Slata Granye WHY ORGANIZE GRANGES? Some Answer Given by Pennsylvania Patrons to the Question. Some time ago State Master II ill of Pennsylvania sent a letter to several masters of newly organized granges asking for the most prominent reasons why their granges were orgumzeu. Their answers were interesting ami 'correct" We make an extract trom . throo nf them. One master says, "First, co-operation; second, in surance; third, sociability ana me gen eral promotion of the farmers' Inter ests." Another says. "Co-operation and social advantages and to secure legislation in the Interest of the farm er." A third reason given was: i-j- cause of its social features and because it has the means of developing a high er manhood and womanhood among its members. It is a means of develop ing a feeling of fraternity and good will among farmers which cannot be otherwise developed. Because its fun damental principles are based on right nnri insticp: also for the benefits de rived through its co-operative features In getting bettor prices on the neces saries of life and better rates of insur ance." And a fourth gave these rea sons: First, to make it possible for f.nrmcrs to meet ill a body and feel as though they bad some rights in otner words, make the farmer reel more in dependent; second, for the social ad vantages: third, for the advantages the grange extends to the members In general."

St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Here Are Five Good Reasons, and There Are Others. Tirsl-T?(r"iuse the erange is the old est best and most substantial farmers' organization and the association of the members helps them to become Deuer farmers and better neighbors. Second. Because its social ieatures in a great measure tend upward In the elevation of the farmer and farm life and place the wife as an equal In the rank and file of the oraer. Third Rpcause it is a Bchoo or, .. thought, where men and women have an opportunity to develop good will and a fraternal feeling among iarmers, giving them greater confidence in them selves and others and developing a higher manhood and womannoou among its members. Fourth. Because it is nonpartisan and nonsectarian, yet in its education al and literary work it has a great tend ency to broaden the farmer's mind and lead him to study and investigate questions which relate not only to the farm and farm life, but .to affairs of state and nation as well. Tiftb p.pnnuse it cives the farmers the best of opportunities to unite their efforts to secure the enactment of such nonpartisan legislation as will protect their interests and that which will be of a general benefit to all farmers, whether they be members or not. His Amendment. A good many years ago it is said that a bill was reported in the New York assembly entitled "An act for . . All 1 J1 1. . the preservation ot tne neain ueu and other game." The speaker, a very shortsighted man and nothing of a sportsman, after a squinting look at the paper, read, "An act for the preservation of the heathen and other game." TJo irae nnnnrentlv unconscious of his blunder and of the ripple of merriment which was running armi n-h thf house until an honest member from the north, who had suffered considerably by the depre dations of a frontier tribe, but who v.nA no nf thp kindest Hearts m the whole assembly, proposed a half (rniamni amendment: "Including maians, geuuemeu, T chmilHn't want 'em left out, in spite of everything they've done to me!" It Was a Booby Prize. A woman fell from a ferryboat crossing over to Camden, and a poor Irishman sprang over and res cued her.

In Berkshire county, at West Stock bridfre Center, is located a small but active grange. It has been organized but three years and has omy eigniy members. This grange rented a hall for a fcw months, then bought a farm and, with the exception of twelve, acres, sold it all to neighbors. They then erected a dwelling house, wood sied and barns. The one and one half story house was made Into a grange hall, and at the rear of the hall arl n kitchen and other rooms. The barns accommodate twenty-five horses. The members expect to enlarge the house and convert the second story into a grange hall and the present nan intn a riinin'r room. A grange of thi9 sort can soon convert a dull, listless community into a hive or wording bees." Co-operative Trade. Tho recpnt renort of Aroostook Po mona grange disclosed the fact, sayrf the Maine Farmer, that another Dig grange of that county, -Caribou, is do ing an encouraging stunt in iue uuo of co-operative trade. The reports state that the store of the organization did a sales business of over $36,000 during 1907 with a trade stock of but slightly over $0,000. Houlton, tne Dan- ,onro fnr sizp in the world, does a much heavier business, but Caribou tc o-nnn-intr and there Is no good rea son why scores more of Maine granges should not get in line. An Active Pomona. ti,o fnrrv-fifth session of the Dutch ess county (X- Y.) Pomona grange was held in Pougukeepsle iiarcn 4. wicu tin attendance of about 300. It was a very enthusiastic session. Resolutions were adopted favoring the Agnew Hart bill against race track gambling, favoring a trolley road on the Albany post road. Another requested that rep resentatives of the legislature vote for the Scott bill regarding the unlawful detention of milk cans in transporta tion to market
