Mans field will address meetings in the Grange hall at Monmouth on Satur day afternoon of this week and in the school house at Buena Vista on Sat urday evening. It is possible that there may be feome who will not agree with Mr. Mansfield in his views of the action which will be necessary to bring the American farmer to a sound financial basis from the present chaotic con dition, nevertheless it will be worth while to listen to him. Mr. Mans field has spent years in acquiring his knowledge of farm conditions, and he tells you about it with a sincerity which gives you something to ponder about if nothing more. These meet ings are not confined to farmers, being open to the public generally. And what is more the welfare of the farmer is a common cause in which all are interested, mattering not what their occupation or business may be. , LOCAL .1 Mrs. Louise Skeels of Talmage is teaching the Parker school and makes the trip to and fro each -day.

Scott, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific lines of Oregon to answer. Scott, in his published defense of the rate in effect on the brunch lines j of the Southern Pacific in thin state, , entirely evaded the issue according to , Buchtel, who in answer to Scott's "defense" has set forth the foregoing j problems which he desires to have ! answered. j Another "poser" which Buchtel has put up to Scott is this: "Why is the rate between Portland and Hillsboro 2.5 cent's per mile while a traveler continuing on he same line from Hill'-boro on to Tillamook must pay at the rate of 4.8 cents a mile for the last leg of the journey?

Why should a traveler going from Black Rock to Powers via Salem pay from Black Rock to Dallas at the rate of 4.8 cents a mile, from Dallas to Eugene 3.6 cents a mile and from Eugene to Powers 4.8 cents a mile or an average of 4.4 cents per mile.
