Editor Extkrprise : Young "Romeo"
is not the only one lu trouble. Another
young man has devoted nearly his entire
time for the lwst vear courting his heart's
desire, and though he his rivaled many
and no doubt thought himself the best
looking young man alout, yet his wished-
tor repeatedly tola mm ne was not trie
right one and that his Sundays were too
1 ng, (many of them being 'forty-eight
hours, and sometimes longer). Still he
continued, until he revived a letter from
lu f, stating that his visits were no longer
wanted ; but to her great surprise he was
there the next day, and told her that he
had received the letter ami that hereafter
he would come oftener to save the trouble
of writing. She told him plainly to stay
away, she would not lie his slave. If he
would compel her to marry him, he would
leriiel to her afterward. He then saw
his last fond hope had departed. Experi
ence teaches h dear school, but fools will
learn at no other. Col. Ski.lkrs.

of Albright it Logtis, situated on the Al
ernethy creek below town, whs liscovered
to be on lire. The tire department was
called out, but as it was beyond the line
of the water works, and they had to leave
their hose carts behind, the tire had gained
too much headway for them to save any
thing, and it soon devoured the building
and its contents. M r. J. Logos says that
workmen Were en .aged in the building
during the early part of the evening, and
they were very careful to put out their

The Grangers, Etc.
At Home, Clackamas Co., May 21.
Editor Enterprise: In a letter writ
ten some time since, I promised to say
something about what I know of grangers.
I have been operating for some time as an
"agent," or -middle man," and have had
considerable to do with granges as a body
and with grangers as such. I rind them
as a rule intelligent, social, and in a lively
state of education, in regard to finance
and the commercial interests of the coun
try. The less informed among them i.es
itate not to claim that the time Is near at
hand when all the commodities the fanner
needs will be "purchased from the manu
factures direct," "Out with your middle
men," etc. But the best informed granger
will tell you he expects no such thing.
All they ask and they mean to have it
is "a fair chance with men in other busi
ness." They are willing to allow a lair
percentage upon ali they I uy. They are
willing to allow the wheat merchant a
fair profit on their wheat, or any other
product. They make no tight with men
in other business. As to middle men,
they have their middle men, or
agents, as you choose to call them, and
they w ill continue to do so as long as it
pays well. The Grange movement, as I
look upon it, is a Fanners' Protective So
ciety, and, as such, should be respected as
other organizations which have for their
object, the benefit of the memlMMship and
general benevolence. No class of men in
the wide world are more deserving than
those who, while they produce the staples
of life, seek to elevate themselves and
their neighbors to such a condition as to
command the honor and respect which
other men have gained in occupations less
deserving than their own. So I say, suc
cess to the Grange movement.
In mv travels upthe valley I find crops of
all kind looking well. A larger amount of
wheat will be be raised this vear than ever
before. A large area of up-lands, or hill
lands, have been cleared of late and put to
fall grain, which heretofore have been al
most useless, as they were thickly matted
with oak brush. These lands are coming
to be more valued than bottom lands, for
the reason that full crops never fail upon
them, while on the bottom lands a severe
f eeze will throw the grain to the surface
after which, when the ground is thawed,
the grain is left uncoven d, and dies for
want of earth, or is drowned or frozen.
In my travels I found some articles of
gruat antiquity. Mr. Chas. Williams, who
lives on Hamilton creek, in the forks of
the Santiam river, showed me a common
slate, which from the best family tradi
tions is near three hundred years old. The
workmanship is rather rude, and proves
in many respects its great antiquity. lie
also showed me a po vder horn over one
hundred years old, which was carried bv
hisgrand-father, David Williams, through
the Revolutionary War, besides many
others of lesser note. Also a horn cu p, a
constant companion of the horn from its
earliest history. Mr. Williams' father, a
Baptist preacher, carried this antiquated
cup during his ministerial life, preaehiug
for many years to seven dill'erent church
es. Mr. Thomas J. Hannah has a gun
thiee hundred and twenty-live years old.
It has been handed down'th rough the old
est son, whose name was invariably
Thomas. This gun was in the war of Isl2,
and carried by the graiid-frther of its pres
ent owner. It was captured by the. British
and afterward recapture I and stacked
away in the armory at Washington seven
years. Mr. Hannah went from his home
in Illinois to W ashington, and after a tedi
ous search found the old family gun. The
barrel is 4 feet 4 inches long. About one
third of the barrel from the breech is s
souare and the balance smooth. Eight or
ten inches of the square part is worn al
most round so that one ca;i scarcely dis
cover that it was on.-e son-are. Several
stocks have been broken, and its present
one is rather shabby. The loek is a very
small Hint, of rather rude wo. kmanship.
Mr. Hannah says is is famous for shot and
kills a hundred paces. More. ;s the world
wags along. Very respect fully.
