Astoria Budget: One of the neatest
souvenir papers issued tbls year is tho
2U Year's edition of The Dalles
Ti en-Mountaineer. It Is replete with
lnfor .nation concerning tho resources
' of v as and Sherman counties and is
handsomely illustrated with half tone
cuts. The paper is a credit to the
publisher as wall as to the enterprise
of tho business men, whose patronage
made the issue a possibility.
Portland is reported to be going
wild on Klondike, the fever having
. again become deepseated in that city
and nothing else can be heard on the
' streets. Merchants dealing in Klon
dike outfits are kept busy late into the
night filling orders and waiting on
customers, and the rush for transpor
tation is wonderful. There is twice as
much business offered tho transporta
tion companies as thev can handle,
and tho only solution is that mare ves
sels will have to be employed.
The two papers at Heppner the
Gazette and Times have entered into
, a little personal fight that cannot but
result in lessening their efforts for
good In Morrow county. Tho trouble
arose over the awarding of the county
printing, which amounts to less than
$100 a year, yet the papers are making
. a mountain out of this small mole-hill, j
If tho two papers will lay aside their
"personal feelings. in this matter, and
go to work for the interests of Morrow
county their efforts ' will meet with
more appreciation. The public gen- j
; orally hat little Interest In tho personal
affairs of two opposing papers.

WORKMEN OPEN MEETING.
Past Supreme Master Tate Addreued a
lre Audience.
Saturday evening the Vogt opera
bouse was comfortably filled with
Workoseni their families and those
who are interested in tbe matter of
fraternal insurance.
After a splendid magical program
bad been rendered Master Workman
Frazer introduced Mr, Tate as the
epeaker of the evening, and for an
hour he held the undivided attention
of his hearers. His address was re
ulete with burtts of eloquence and
appeals to those with wives and
children depending upon them to
make preparations fur their susten
ance in time to come when the arm of
the hurtband and father sj.mll no longer
be able o protect those depending
upon him. Space will not permit the
publication of tbe entire address, how
ever the following synopsis of bis re
marxs is given:
"Twenty-nine years ago, in Mead
vllle, Pa., 13 mechanics met and organ
ized the first lodge of the Ancient
rder of United Workmen. If some
stranger had appeared ,before the hand
ful of man, and suggested thatwitbin a
period of 29 years, $8,000,000 would be
required annually to discharge the
financial obligations of this new order
t the widows and orphans, a;id $20,
000 mere to provide for the sick and
tbe needy, they .would have been
appalled at their task and givnn up in
despair.
"Thesi- men '. aw so uethi:ig ouht
to be done to make provision against
the time when wife and child should
be left to fight life's battl--s ah ne.
They knew up to that time no fraternal
organization had ever engaged in such
work, beyond this they had no
knowledge. Thfy realize not the
dangers that threaten t- nor the hopes,
beckoning them on. They saw otil-.
the need of toriay. but had aim le
and abiding filth ti.at somehow to
morrow would take care of itself.
"It seems almost in :re'iible that in
29 years this little lodge has grown to
an army 370,000 strong. . That from so
inauspicious a beginning should have
grown an institution distributing to its
beneficiaries $80,000,000 and to the1
unfortunate among its living members
$20,000,000 more. Think of it, $100,-
000,000 distributed to tbe needy and
the widow and tbe orphan in the brief
period of 29 years. Who can compre
hend it, and who can tell how much of
sorrow has been assuaged, bow much
of poverty prevented, and how much
of crime avoided by tbe expenditure of
tbls vast sum of money at the time
when sorrow and despair menaced the
homes and tho fireside of our members,
"This has not been accomplished
without a struggle. Many dangers
have been encountered, many dif
ficulties met, and many enemies faced
But ever danger has been avoided,
eyery difficulty overcome, every enemy
vanquished and today tbe order stands
without a stain upon its escutcheon, or
blot upon its financial "honor.
"In the early history of our order,
our plan was a very simple one. Each
member was required to deposit $1 in
tbe beneficiary fund when he joined
the order, and whene'er thereafter the
death rate should demand it, an assess
ment of $1 upon all members in good
standing was levied aad out of the
fund so collected death claims were
paid. It was believed if a certain per
centage of growth could be maintained,
this plan could be continued indefi
nitely, but increasing age and enlarg
ing membership gave rapid increase to
tbe number of assessments necessary
for tbo discharge of our financial
obligation, and we were forced to
learn tbo lesson that radical changes
were necessary. When it was realized
that the old plan would not work and
that the safety of the order depended
upon a wise change, tbe supreme
lodge took the matter under advise
ment and with a eourage born of con
victioBS, made radical changes in our
method of doing business and gave to
tbe order what is known as the cli ssi
lied assessment plan. This plan divides
our membership into groups, whose
ages range from 18 to 50 years, and
provides for a change from the lower
to the higher rates as members pass
from the lower to. the higher ages,
These rates are changed every five
years until the age of . 50 is reached.
after which no change is made. The
present plan is the result of the con
bined experience of old li' e insurance
companies,- and fraternal organization
for the past 200 years, and we have no
reason to doubt its efficiency or safety
"Persons who join our or(?er are re
quired to pay only the absolute cost of
the class in which there ages place
them. This plan deals equitably with
every member of the order, requiring
him to bear bis full share of the
financial burdens and assuring him in
return an equal share in tbe benefits of
tbe institution. -
Membership in this order means
something more than stated financial
payments and the receipt of financial
benefits; it signifies all that is involved
in that grand word fraternity. . When
sickness overtakes a member he is
cared for and his wants supplied by
the lodge to which he belongs and he
Is not allowed to become suspended
while sick and unprotected.
"Three elements enter into this in
stitution, which commend it to thought
ful men fraternity, equality, safety
Who , at some time or other has not
realized the need of fraternity, flt the
value of some friend in sorrow and
distress? Who among us can hope to
go through life, without some day
needing some gentle hand to minister,
some kindly voice to speak words of
comfort? There is no place In all tbe
world where this is oftner and more
nobly done than in the Ancient Order
of United Workmen.
The great question men are asking
themselves concerning this and similar
Institutions is, 'Will these orders last,
can they be trusted?' I point you to
the history already made by our order.
I recall with pride the self-denial and
heroic sacrifice and service rendered
in the "lata '70's when yellow fever
swept the South and left desolation
and ruin in its path. This order suf
fered a strain' which it will probably
never be our lot to know again, and
yet we came out of the struggle vic
torious, having met every claim upon
us, discharged every financial obliga
tion, and kept our fraternity un
tarnished.
" The A. O. U. vr. Is erfeotly safe.
Thousands and hundreds of thousand
of men have trusted it. Thousands of
widows and tens of ' thousands of
children lavish their benedictions upon
it. You can trust it, for it will deal as
faithfully with you and jours as ft has
with others in the Zi years of its mag
nificent history." 'yi
After tbe conclusion of Mr. Tate's
address the Workmen and their
families and the members of the Degree
of Honor repaired to tbe lodge hall
where a slenuiu 1-ai.quet had boon
prepared. Tbe lunch that was one ot
the most toothsome ever served in the
city was not fully discussed until near
midnight, the Workmen's appetites
being whetted by the rendering of ex
cellent muic and the enticing viands
spread . before tbem. Throughout it
waa a splendid meeting, and will result
beneficially to the order.

' Ex-Recorder Lash, of Pendleton, is
serving a ter"i in the penitentiary as
a punishment for his xliorl-couaugp,
and .the taxpay.-ts of that ci'y vi ill
also suffer to t he amount of -?:t400 uu
account of tbe negligence of tbe coun
cil in not requiring him to perform his
duties as required by tbe city charter.
Tbe EastOregonian gives this account
of the settlement made with his bonds
men: The council was called together in
special session Thursday afternoon at
4 o'clock by the mayor to consider a
proposition from tbe bondsmen of
George R. Lash, ex-recorder.
Lash gave no bonds in 1896, hitf
sureties being responsible only for bis
peculations in 1894 and 1895. The?e
gentlemen are R Alexander, J. R
Dickson and C. E Rooeevelt.
At the meeting Mr. Alexander acted
as -i;okenman for the smetiea, and
slid t h. y Aere villi-g to (nuke good
Li.-ir'd a.'ioi-tage in fines and cemetery
lot puIps, btrt not in liquor licenses, be
Cause the latter are payable to tbe
treasurer and Lash should not bave
been allowod to receive them. Mr.
Alexander offered the check of the
bondsmen for $519 50. covering $147
-hortage in fines and $35 in cen etery
to: in I8H. and $337 50 in 1895.
The position taken by tbe bon 'f-rae
being a" reasonable one. tbe counc
accepted it unanimously on motion
i'he money was . paid and the bonds
men released.
The city lost by Lash in liquor
licenses $550 in 1894. $825 in 1895 an
$1925 n 1896. The shortage in fines
was $120 in 1896 and sundry otbe

The Time to Spray.
Fruit growers bave found by ex
perience that tbe be-t time to spray
trees for San Jose scale is during the
months of February and March, and
no doubt many of tbem will attend to
caring for their trees during the next
two months. A very strong solution
of lime, sulphur and salt can be ap
plied now, befo-e the buds begin to
swell, without injury to the trees, but
if put off until April or May, a spray
that is sufficiently strong to destroy
the scale, would prove very injurious
to the foliage and fruit. Hence now
is the season of the year when the or
chardist should exert his greatest
astivity If he would insure a good crop
this season.
