W. for Years Will Bo Forces! to Drop Out. Supreme Master William Narvis, of Muscatine, Ir., who is attending the (irand Lodge at A. O. U.W. at Portland, nays the Oregon jurisdiction will have to adopt higher rates sooner or later, "It looks severe on the old men," he aaid, "but these old members should Dot forget that they have been getting cheap insurance in the past. The rates they have been paying admitted of no surplus fund, as these members preferred to carry the surplus themselves. When asked where this surplus is they can aot tell. The order has 400.000 uiemliers in the United States, and the vast sum of $70, 000,000 is lieing paid out in benefits an nually "This money must couie from somew here," the leaders suy it will not do for us to run behind. "Tweuty-six state grand lodges have ttlready raised their rates, and b,ave a lopted a new flat rate which is uniform for all ages." Supreme Foreman William Colvig says: 'He must raise the rates, there is no way out of it. We lost 1(1 uiem hers by death last month, and llm beue fits came to $10,000 over and aliove our assessments. "You cannot draw money out unless you first pay it in. and the new rates are based on the amount paid and no more MUST HAVC HKSKKVI. "If the reserve fund is not maintained then the rates stiouiil lie advanced on the higher ages that meinliers will not persist In holding their certificates. Il the latter course were adopted it would make a young man's order out of an v of the old fraternals, and necessity of reserve is obhtered. The argument is being made also that the Maccaliees are advocating a change of rates, from which guote and compare : AgetlO.Vorkmen, new plan, J.S.40 per assessment only; Maccabees, $10,02, payable monthly; age 70, Workmen, $H,40, by assessment only ; Maccaliees, 17.37 monthly. The Maccaliees 'have also to back up their certificates a reserve of $3,500,000, as against an actual deficit in the Work men of the entire supreme jurisdiction of something over 11,000,000. "Our proposed rates show that they are nut adequate to perpetuate the in stitutien. 1 believe the better plan would lie for the dead to help the living in other words, out of each $2000 certi- oate the beneficiary should return $200 to the order." AUXII.IAKY HODV MRKTS. The Itth snnual session of the Grand Lodge of the degree of Honor, the auxil iary body of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, met in the Selling-Hirsch building Tuesday morning. Mrs. Addie B.

Detroit, Mich., July With the re- Ijustment of the rates as the most im- rtant business for consideration,' the triennial review of the Supreme Tent, Knights of Maccabees of the World, open- 1 here today. Supreme Commander II. Mar key in his annual report, said that the membership of the order at the close of the three-year term was )2,3Mo, a net gain during the three years of 124,7i 9. The refiort of Supreme Record Keeiier Aitken showed that there have been paid during the past term ' 5158 death laime, amounting to $7,337,431. Mr. Aitken who also is supreme coun selor of the order, reviewing the pro Hised change in the rates at length, con- luded as follows. "If we wish to be true to ourselves and to the membership we represent, and hope to see the fraternal order the prido of its meinlierahip and protector f the'r homes, we must provide for col lections equal to the amount demon strated to lie necestary by the mortality table haed on our own eirience." Detroit. July V. Seventy-five dele gates, representing 175,000 memlri in II parts of the county were present w ith their supreme olhcers to-lay w hen the triennial review of the supreme hive, 1 Ladies of the Metvaliees of the world, 1 was called t order. Readjustment of the rates of the order is the most iin port a nt business that will ccme before them during their three days session. A fur welcoming addresses sod re- spouses, Mrs. Lillian M. llolliste, of Detroit, the supreme commander, mads her report, which discussed the rate question at length. She stated that the order has In its emergency funds, tS'M, 878, which would be approximately $7 per member. Mrs. Ilollister reported that the capi tal cost of expense of inauagemeut for order duties to the past term were the lowed in the history of the order. Mrs Bella .M. West, the supreme re cordkeeiier, in her report said the mem Iwrship of the order is 150,000 and the total certificate in force ',HI ,4 Begin to Look Like Business. A Forest tirove disiiatch, under date of July lrt, says: Loral businessmen are showing more interest than ever before in the proposed Portland-Forest (irove electric line, and it is now probable that they will advance their share of the sum required before the work of construction will commence. Last night a meeting of the Board of Trade was held at which Andrew Gray don and L. Y. Ready, representing the Eastern capitalists who propose to build the road, discussed their plans and asked for supiKirt from the citizens of this city. They repeated their request, made a few weeks ago, for $25,000 or t:k),000 from Forest Grove, and their plan apieared so feasible that the mem hers of the Hoard of Trade voted unani mously to take up the matter and do everything possible to raise the sum named. Mayor Huge appointed a com in it tee, consisting of President W. N. Fer riu, Dr. Kenti and Messrs. II. C. Atwell, L. K. Weitzel and Grant Hughes, which will assist Messrs. Graydon and Keadv in securing the subscriptions. As the citizens of Hillsboro have raised the sum asked of thorn, it now only remains fur tlie people of this place to pledge $25,000, when work on the road will immediately commence accord ing to Mr. (iraydon. At first it seemed doubtful if so large a sum could be se cured here, as the local businessmen have been under unusually heavy ex pense this year because of increased building and extensive improvements which have leen made throughout the city. Now, however, so much interest is taken in the road that leading citizens think the amount will I advanced. Mayor lloge and Judge Hollis, who have been instrumental in bringing the matter before the business men, think that the pledges will lie made within one week. President Ferrin, of the Pa cific University, will takean active part in the work, and it is possible that the College will give a financial backing to the enterprise, as it would be greatly benefited by a line between Forest Grove ami the metropolis. A la Tracy. Will Riggins, who stole the horse from Warren Kidder last week is still at large and defies the people and officers of Yam hill county. It appears as though he is to be a second Tracy. It is reported that he broke into and looted the house of John Stepprath last Wednesday and secured a shirt, some provisions, a plug of tobacco and a carving knife. Friday night he looted the house of Walter Ste phenson and secured a camping outfit, a rifle and some amuuitiun He was last seen at Frank Smith's place Saturday night. He Is armed with a 38 revolver, two rifle's, a 22 and 38, and declares that he will not be taken without blood shed. He has terrorized the community and the people say that if the sheriff of Yamhill county does not take him in hand in reasonable time they will be forced by circumstances to do something with him as he is a dangerous man to to be at large.

The German govern ment has taken a prompt and firm stand in regard to the seizure of the mails of the North German Lloyd steamer Prinx Ileinrich, which ariivedat Aden, July lit, from Hamburg ami Southampton for Yokohama, by the Russian volunteer steamer Smolensk on July 15, having entered a protest against the carrying off of the mails, and asked for a disa vowal of the Smolensk's action, and for the return of the raptured mail sacks. The German government, the foreign office says, recognizes the right to search mails when on lxard the vessel itself, but claims the Suiolenxk hail no right to take off mails in bulk from the ves sel. The further argument is advanced that the right of search can only b ex ercised by s warship' whereas the Smol ensk traversed the lardanelhes only re cently flying the Russian commercial ting, not assuming the character of war ships. The German gevemment has not taken action on this last point, but leaves it for future discussion and settle ment. No answer has yet been receive I from Russia.

Nearly a half of an inch ol rain fell in the Willamette valley during the latter part of the wtek, anil gre-iter amounts are reported in the coast counties. Fre quent rains also occurred in the eastern sections of the stats. The rains west of the Cascades have done an immense amount of good. They will help all growing crops, eipecially potatoes, corn, oats and late spring wheat. Hops a1sj will be lameHted, as well as gardens and pasturage. The grain harvest has been interrupted by the wet weather, and in the coast counties and plateau section some cut hay will la) more or less damag ed, but these losses are insignificant compared with the good the rains have done. A sharp frost occurred Wednes day morniug in portions of the Willam-t-tte valley and in some of the coast counties, but the damage was confine 1 to tender vegetation and it was not seri ous, notwithstanding the lateness of the season. Fall wheat is filling nicely, the he ld lieing large and the U-rry plump. Al though very little wheat has yet been thrashed, corressiti(ients generally re port the yields better -than expected. In Sherman county some complaint of the smut is made, but generally .the quality of the wheat is reairted above the average. Hops are doing nicely, but it is not exiected that the yields will lie quite so heavy as last year,on account of the long spell of dry weather. Stock continues in excellent condition, but pasturage is getting short, as is usual at ttiia season of the year, and the milk supply in the dairy herds has de -reused slightly during the week. Peaches are ripe and pie tiful, but apples have dropped badly during the week, although the prospects still con tinue favorable for a good crop of apples. The w iy some people hurry to get in to fake adv. scheme makes you think that the tire authorities had refused to allow them to burn money. The annual reKrt of the school Super intendent of Raker county, which w as filed today shows an increase of over 20 1 in the school population in the past year, the nuinlier of persons of school age having increased from 5345 to 5577.

The average nuinlier of months school taught during the year has been raised from six to 0.7 mouths. The expense of conducting the schools of that county show a decrease from 9,200 to $70,175, but the amount paid for teachers' salaries has grown from $42,572 to $47,405.
