THE GRANGE. Secretary for Washington Tells et Bsnsfits to Be Dnnvsd By Frd W. Lawis. Samtary Waahinctuw. 8tt Gru. Tumsttw. Waabumu. The Orauge has, for forty yeais, too.) for the upliftment cf the farmer, and we only have to look back, over its history, to sec what It has aooom pilahad for us., . It is to the Grange that we owe the rural mail delivery, the oleomagarloc bill, the denatured alcohol lis, and la many states It has forced the passage of better tat laws, and other laws that assist In giving the farmer the btnefiU of his labor. Nor is the work of the Grange alone directed to the urging the passage of laws. It becomes needful to prevent the passage of some laws that would be detrimental tc the best interests of the farmer, and that is s part of the work the Grange dees. Spsoe will not permit me to go into details, hot anyone may obUin the de tails by asking for them. Although we take an interest In the legislative work of our people, we slso benefit them in many ways besides. To th young man and weman, we otter a chance lo'gaio pic-ui uJ profit in the meetings of the Grange, at we carry 30 our meetings in strict par liamentary manner, providing we get the right person for Master, and so give thorn a chance to learn how (uou wore is done. We also have literary pro grams, providing we get the right per son for Lecturer, and so give them chance to practice speaking In public. and appearing on the rostrum before an audience, all of which is a benefit to any voung or, In fact, an older person too, in these times of public awakening To the father and mother, who are the providers for a family, it gives them a chance to purchase their needed sup plies In connection with their brothers and sisters, and so gain the advantage that is to be derived from wholesale dealing. To the home owner, it provides a safe and tuie, as well as cheap insurance for bis property, and any member of the Grange, who is attached to any suhor dinate Grange is entitled to that benefit Our Insurance is carried at exact cost and we are laving by no surplus to be lost by poor investments, ot by the die- honesty of the officers, but we keep enouuh on hands at all times so that we can pay all losses promptly, upon the proof being sent in. In life insurance we have none to offer that will answer the demands of the great majority of our patrons, but we sre working on a plan, that will ol timately furnish ns a life insurance as well as a property insurance, and on the same basis, that of actual cost. In the line of purchasing and selling, we are not as well organised as we would like to be, but as the dealers are all in combines, and the commission men are ail united by common consent, it behooves ns, as farmers, to combine if we would protect our own interests and obtain the just rewards for our labor and enjoy the better aocommoda tions that we might have if we could obtain the real fruits of our Tabors, In the Grange we place woman where she belongs, on an equal. ty with man, and so make our order a truly social one, and oar Grange work includes the enjoyment of the fruits of our labors, as well as the education of the tnluJ, and the guarding of ti e parte. In conclusion let me state the pur poses of the Grange, as set forth in the declaration of purposes adopted by the founders of the order: To develop a hiirher and better man hood and womanhood among ourselves. To enhance the comforts and attractions of the home, and strengthen our attach ments to our pursuits. To foster mu tual understanding and co-operation. To maintain inviolate our laws, snd to emulate each other in labor, to hasten the g:o 1 time coming. To reduce out expenses, both individual and corpor ate. To buy less and produce more in order to make our farms self sustaining. To diversify our crops, and to crop no more than we can cultivate. To con dense the weight of our exports, selling ices in me buenol and more in hoof and in fleece, and less In lint and more in warp and woof. To systematize our work and calculate Intelligently on probabilities. To discountenance the credit system, the mortgage system, the fashion system, and every other system that tend to prodigalitj and bankruptcy. We propose meeting together, talk ing together, woiking together, having together, slling together, and in gen eral, acting together for our mutual protection and advancement. If we, as farmers, broom organized, we have the power to a'k for what we want ami to get it, because we have the numbers, and all thai is required is the union that is the means of unifying that power. Think the matter over, and decide to rrganfze a Grange and so help to make this world more worth living in. s. a i s i s t t. i ix. ii Slsvslc . j i a a a a I I I tTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT FULTON IMPLICATED J HENDRICKS TELLS ITif Brownell Gives Testimony in ihe Hall Case.

Pleads Guilty to Consplrac? to Defraud Government. WORK FOR UNEMPLOYED. . ir' Zachary A' Confeises Charges Are Trui Stelwcr Also expected to Testify Against Hall. Portland. Jan. 13. Sensational and damaging testimony against John H. Jlall was given yesterday by Hamilton li. Hendricks, who testified that In May, lWMJ, he had suggested to Hall that Hall use his know ledge of illegal fencing by Kteiwer and his astociates as a political club over W. W. isteiwer. At the morning session Hendricks, ho was a co-defendant with Hall and Mays, entered a plea uf guilty to the conspiracy indictment. Late in the afternoon Hendricks was called to the tand, and his testimony, following that of a number cf minor witnesses who preceded him, had the effect of a thunder storm on a clear summer after noon. While Hendricks recited the stcryofhis interview with Hall In 1UU0, the ex district attorney could not repress a commingled expression of em pties and pain. Withdrawn features and clenched jaws he scrutinised the w itness ss the story of the incepticn of his alleged unofficial relations with the unlawful fencing monopoly was related. The accused ex-Federal official soon re gained the interested and semi-hopelul expression that has characterised him from the beginning of the trial, and court adjouined for the day after the sensational statements of Hendricks. Clarence B. Zachary, who yesterday entered a plea of guilty to the conspir acy charge, was foreman of Ihe Butte Creek company. He was a piominent figure in superintending the different schemes that were hatched by his associates. Mr. Heney expects to complete the government's case probably tomorrow afternoon and not later than Saturday. Hendricks will be on the stand during the morning session, possibly a part ol the alterneon today, and will lie fol lowed by Clarence B. Zachary. Mr. Heney last night would not discuss the probability that W. W. Steiwer would be called as a witness for the govern ment, neither would he admit that 8teiwer would follow the lead of hia as tociates, Hendricks and Zachary, of ths Butts Creek company, and plead guilty. t i : aa.a..aa.s.--.
