A good portion of the tune of the Ore

problem of good loads. Mrs. Clara H.
Waldo, state lecturer. In her annual
port haw this to say :
grange.
Dr. James WiUiycoml«- of the State
Agricultural college in an address at
Hillsboro last Saturday, spoke of State
lecturer Waldo’s solution of the good
roads problem in the following lan-
gusge:
KuMelville grange recently lionglit half
a bljck fronting tlie Base lane, diago
nally across from tlie Russellville school
bouse for f’JUO. The building fund is
growing and a new hall will be built
during the coming winter.
The greatest problem confronting your
county baiay is tlie n>a«l problem. It
w ill require the very best of macadam
riwds to withstand the wear and tear of
milk hauled in the winter time. Such
roads will cost from $3.M»t to I5.UU0 per
mile and perhaps the county trolley sy»
tern, as advocated by the receut state
grange will be the practical solution of
llii« ever-present problem. The plan ia
certainly worthy of thorough consider
ation. Evan if you oonslrixt macadam
roads the coat of banling per ton per
mile will be at least 15 cents, w hile the
trolley coat has l«en demonstrated at
but 5 cents or lees. Tire lower cont ami
the rapid transit, therefore, preseut llie
trolley idea in a favorable light.
The rural letter carriers' state con
vention last Saturday endorsed the state
grange in its gmxl roads movement
wliirreby the state should pay 50 per
cent, the countie» 35 per cent and road
distruto 15 per cent of all improve
ments.
Multnomah grange has Ixmght half
an acre al Fleaaanl Home, paying *150
therefor. A rornmittee has the work of
raising funds for a new hall in charge
and will push the work to completion as
««»in a» posuiilde.
G6e PILLAR
OF LIGHT
Mr». Waldo in her report say», in
»peaking of traveling librarie»:
Of the 05 xeni out by the State Library
Commission, about oiie-lialf are in the
hom«*» of grange members. And inany
applieationi are now going in for libra-
riee to be sent in October or November.
The winter month» furniah U m leisure
time to feast upon g"«l Ixxika. ami these
little libraries »ent out by the »tate, fb
be exchanged every six months, are do
ing a wonderful work in our rural
homes.
I doubt if any other appropriation by
lite slate is returning larger dividends
in developing gixxl citisene than the
small sum spent ii)«>n traveling] librar
ies, the additional »mall agricultural li
brary and the debate library.
I recommend that every grange apply
for a traveling library, for it tends to se
cure a larger and more regular attend
ance, and is a means of better prepara-
liun for the literary program.
