Now that Lebanon is ou a boom we want the honorable Mayor to induce some good man to put up a cannery Here, we nuveeuougn vegctuuies mis year to run a first class shop, uuu from present Indications much ot It will go lo waste. What an Industry could be started here if the right mun would just take hold.

Will we Dosses It? If the honorable Mayor goes off to rusticate In the mountains he must leave somebody In charge that knows how to run things, for Lebanon can't wait, she must drive right along the nign rcma 01 prosperity ana success. If your live real estate men would show memlgrauUand home-seekers our fine gardens here l think they would advertise better and succeed more. In a few yean these garden lauds will be worth more than the orange groves of Lower California. More again, Pkoiiucek. THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE. Something About the. Oujaeft of tbl. New OroaNlaatlon Eiiitok Lkiianon Expkkhh: As a great many of your readers are becoming interested III the Alliance movement, 1 will try III a abort letter to give you Its objects, alms and some thing aiiout the condition of the order in Linn County. The prime object b to better the con dition of the farmers of America, men tally, morally and Hnaucially. It also aims to suppress pertonal, sectional and national prejudices, and all un liealthful rivalry and selfish ambition, and to bring this abont advocates a re turn Kiine principles on wnicti this government woe founded by adhering to the doctrine of equal rights und equal chances to all und special privi leges to none. The methods employed by this asso ciation to accomplish their ends ure ol a social, business and political nature. The social methods are such us may be secured by meeting together and be coming better acquainted with neigh bors, and a friendly Interchange of opinions ana laeas as u me practical management of farm work. The bus iness methods employed tuko a wide range und depend In a great meas ure upon co-operation In both ewunty and state in etlnrls to secure the high est prices Tor products, und the lowest price on the commodities that our people need. The political methods are strictly uompurtpan and must ever remain so, qaevary- uaiidldala tut ad mission Into the association, before taking the pledge, Is assured that It will in no way conlilct with bis politi cal or religious views. All political purties are represented In its ruuks, and every member is expected to lubur In his respective purty to secure a Just recognition of me rignis 01 tue larmurs. All questions of Killtical economy will be thoroughly discussed, and when the order agrees on any reform as uecessury , thev will deiuuud It of tuegoveruuieul and of every political purty. Should the demand tie unheeded, they will devise uieuus to bring about the needed legislation. Of cuuino the reforms wanted will generally come through legislation, both suite uud nationul, uod these points will be zealously guarded by the order. I xuke the corruptiou uuu exu-ava-gnuceuftlie last live Legislations in our own Htute, and 11 Is enough to cause our farmers to combine for tlieir own protection. Also when you look ut our uutlunul laws, enacted duriug the post twenty years, it is pluiuly tu be seen that a large majority of them are iu favor of the capitalist and against tabor. The farmer uud lueorur are cognizant of these liicts, uud uenerully as soon as he learns thut our uiijeut is to remedy these evils, he unites with us. We have no tight to make In this county against the merohuiils of Albany. Our business ugeut bus been very success- lul 111 making contracts who uieui, uud many of them huvn commenced deuliug direct with manufactories and are thus able to give us favorable ,,rl, And now us to the growth of the order 111 this county. Tue membership is at this dale ubuut (ton, uud would have been much greuler hud it not beeii A. irVUie, lias eigllt or ten uiuic uuiuu. to oi ganiM! as soon us harvest Is over. It is proHed that a series of meetings, like inose ut the Ciabtree Alliance lust fall, be held iu dilt'erent parte of the county, if this is carried out, und they have the suiue etlcut us tiie one before mentioned, the membership will be ut least iWOO by ucxt May.

I am orry to wy that mwh I. not the eiw with the Tln buyen, hut we will be ready for tlioiu by noil Miawn, CnABTREB. News Items have been rather hard to gather this week. Farmers have been very busily en gaged cutting and threshing tlieir Kruin, We notice some have been so urrled that six days In the week were not enough for their work, so they take the seventh also. The rains of Monday night and Tuesday will cause a cessation of the harvesting work, however, and no doubt many will put In the time grumbling at the weather, There have been sevetal threshers doing work In this locality, Notably among the number la thut of Arnold, Elliott & Co. Their machine is new throughout, hoe a traction oiiglue and In fuct is complete in every respect ex ceptthedlniiigcur; that Is one of the essentials (to farmers' wives) that the company failed to get, We natloed one man near here har vesting his crop with the old-fashioned cradle, thus proving himself independ ent of later Inventions, The hoo crnn In this viclnitv will he quite good this season, and picking win negm aoout, rjept, 1st. The school district at this place, No. , has been divided, und hereafter there will lie two sohools instead of one. Whether or not the move has been a wise one, is one of the questions that future events must decide. The new school house will be Rear the residence at Mr, Wesley Klnser. One of the greatest needs of this section Is a good church building. Who will help iu an enterprise of this kind? We uuderstund It Is the Intention nf O. O.

Mr Editor: "" 1 have been a resident of your town for a short time only, but am wonder fully impressed with Its magnificent future. There are possibilities that ' await you that your most sangulhe people do not raafiee, and the legarthio ' never dreamed of. There is no rcasoU why there should not be a population " here of 6,(100 within three years, and If ' your people will pull together in har mony and concert as they seem to be doing now, you may have even more ' than that I have never seen a town with better surroundings or more favorable loca tion, and with a country lying East of It that rs Just in Its babyhood, . . Every enterprise mast be fostered and every possible Inducement held nut for capital to Invest. None ot us, 1 perhaps, fully appreciate the advan tages of the water ditch, and the many industries it will bring us, but we mut not lose sight of other mutters almost us great lo us. The Sodavllle , Motor Line will be of vast Importance to us, -and if we are loyal to our town- and wine awake lo our interest we will en couratre I hem bv every possible means In our power. When Lebanon is placed In a quick und cheap connection with this fine watering place, it will eertai n ly add as much to Lebanon at it Will to Sodavllle and the advantages , will ' be mutual.

' In fact the majority of' our eastern goads could be made here In Lebanon. We see some of the largest and finest ' ' gardens around Lebanon we have ever seen. These gardens would run an ' ordinary cannery for 4 inontlis, 'and ' perhaps much of these vegetables will go to waste for want of a market' The present Is bright, the future full of " hope, but we,, .cannot, reach the much desired end ' without harmony, pluck and a noble Unman oourtig,! willfludawayoiakeit."

We were speaking with con tractor Price the other day and he said he hud to have more tenths, and if he fulled to get them here would bring them from Portland.
