MAY SKIP DUENOS AYRE8 TRIP
Washington, Jan. 20, It seems
probable now that the torpedo boat
ilotllla on Its way to Uie Pacific will
not pay a visit to Uucnos Ayrcs, as was
Intended. According to tho original
plan, the flotilla was to proceed from
ltlo Janoiro to Montevideo. Now,
however, as tho flotilla Is said to bo
three days behind its Itlnearry, it is
prohablo that the entire cruise up the
Klvor Platto will bo out out and with
out stopping at cither Montovldoo or
llnonoa Ayres tbo little vessels will try
to mako tho run from Rio Janeiro to
Bandy Point, In tho straits of Magellan,
Tho torpedo boats will thus bo given
athorough test of their ability to mako
a long dlstanoe run and will also be
able to catoh up with their schedule
and accompany the battleships In tbo
passage ol the straits ot Magellan, as
desired by Admiral JJvans.

11 Ftnl W. Iwl. Krtrrtmrr Whlnrtin flUU
drawn, Tumwalcr, Wuhlfluunn.
The Urango has, for forty yeais,
stood for the upliftment cf tlio farmer,
and we only have to look back, over
Its hlitory, to see what It has accorn
pilsned for us.
It Is to tho Orange that we owe the
rural mall delivery, (he oleomagarlno
uillbtho denatured alcohol law, and In
many states It ha forced the passago of
better lax Uws, mid other laws that
assist In giving the farmer the benefit
of his labor.
Nor Is the wotk of the Orango alone
directed to the urging the passago of
laws. It becomes needful to prevent
trie patfsge ol some laws that would bo
detrimental to tbo best Interest of the
farmer, and that is a part of the work
the Grange decs.
Hpaco will not permit me to go into
details, but anyone may obtain the de
tails by asking for thorn.
Although wo lake an Interest In the
legislative work of our people, we also
benefit thorn in many ways besides
To the young roan and witnan, we
offer a chance to gain pleasure and
profit in the meetings of tho Orango, a
we carry on our meetings In strict par
llamentary manner, 'providing wo get
the right person for Master, and so give
them a chance t learn how such work
Is dono. We also have literary pro
grams, providing we get the right per
son for Jjccturer, and so giro them a
chance to practice speaking In public,
and appearing on the rostrum beforo sn
audience, all ot which is a benefit tn
any young or, in fact, an older perron,
too, in these times ol public awakening.
To the father and mother, who are
the providers for a family, It gives thcrn
a chance to purchase their needed s ap
plies In connection with their biotheis
and sisters, and so gain the advantage
that is to be derived from wholesale
dealing. -
To the home owner, It'provldel a safe
and aure, a woll a cheap insurance for
hit property, and any member of the
Grange, who is attauhod to any subor
dinate Orange ia entitled to that beneflt.
Our Insurance is carried at exact coit,
and we are laying by no surplus to bo
loat by poor Investments, ot by the dis
honesty ol the otllcors, but we keep
enough on hands at all tiroes eo 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 onr patrons, but
we aro working on a plan, that will nl
tlmately furnish usa llfo Insurance ss
well as a property insurance, and on
the tamo basis, that ot actual coat.
In the line ol purchasing and selling,
we are not as woll organised as we
would like to be, but as the dealers sro
all In combines, and the commission
mon are all united by common consent,
It behooves us, a farmers, to combine
If we would protect our own interests
and obtain tho Just rewards lor our
labor and enjoy the better accommoda
tion that we might have it we could
obtain the real fruit of our labor.
Ia tho Qrnnze we place woman wheie
abe belongs, op an equality with man,
and so make our order a truly social
one, and oar urango work Include tho
enjoyment of tbo fruits of our labors, as
well as tho education ol the mind, and
the guarding of the purse.
In conclusion let me atato tbo pur
posos ot tho Grange, as eet forth In the
declaration ol purposes adopted by tho
founders ot tho order:
To dovolop a highor and better man
hood and womanhood among ours olves.
To enhano- the comforts and attractions
ot the home, and strengthen our attach
ments to out pursuits. To foster mu
tual understanding and co-operation.
To maintain inviolate our laws, and to
emulate each other lu labor, to hasten
tlio gcod time coming, To reduce out
expenses, both Individual and corpor
ate. To buy less and produce more In
order to make our farm self sustaining.
To diversify our crops, and to crop no
more than we ran cultivate. To con
dense tho weight of our exports, selling
less in tbo bushel and more in boot and
in fleece, and less In lint and ronro In
warp and woof. To systematise our
work and calculate Intelligently ou
probabilities. To discountenance the
credit system, tho mortgage system,
the fashion system, and eveiy othor
system that tends to prodigality and
bankruptcy.
Wo propose meeting together, talk
ing together, working together, buying
together, selling together, and in gon
eral, acting together for our mutual
protection and advancement.
It wo, as farmers, become organized,
we bavo tho pov, or to ask for what we
want and to get it, because wo have the
numbers, and all that Is required la tho
union that Is tho moans of unifying
that power.
Think tho matter over, and decide to

this world moio worth living In.

Paris, Jan. 21. The repcrt-i cabled

certain suspicious Indicating the exist

about tho middle of December, and
John Fedher, whose name Is mentioned

The alleged plot Is supposed to have
some rather startling ramifications, bat
the evidence along this line is far frota

SteaHng by Settlers.
Portland, Jan. 21. With testimony
strong and apparently conclusive, the
governoamt yeiterday by several wit
nesses in tho Hall-Mays conspiracy
trial exposed the bold and law defying;
operations of the Butte Creek Land,
Livestock & Lumber company, and dis
closed to tbe Jury bow during tbe yeara
1000 and 1901 this company acquired
fraudulently a considerable are of
publletand. By tbe same evideoee It
waa shown how this land grabbing cor
poration by tbe acquisition of these
lands was enabled to complete the en
closure of a still larger area ot govern
ment land to which other settlers were
denied access for erasing purposes.
Ileney, for the ptoeecotloa, made
considerable progress in establishing
the existence of a conspiracy aracag tbe
members of tbe Butte Oresk company
and be said last night that the govern-
m-nt'a case would be supported still
further aa to tbe alleged contplrtey by
the introduction today ot more testi
mony of tbe same cliaraett r as that
presented yesterdsy. When this baa
been done, Heney will begin the next
step outlined by the prosecntloa and
will seek positively to connect Hall
