Pine Grove Grange Sleeting.
Over flity members were in attend
anoe at the Oiange meeting Saturday
evening, and a very interesting and
instructive- session was held. Tbe
musical and literary program waa well
rendered. Much enthusiasm is mani
fested among its members to make
these meetings Profitable.
In tbe discussion of tbe postotfloe
deflolt.an interesting fpet was brought
out concerning the exorbitant prices
paid to the railroads for carrying tbe
mails. The total oost for carrying
tbe mail from Woodburn to Spring
field, a distanoe of 95 miles, for aix
days In tbe week and one service each
way per day is tht enormous sum of
ft) 500; 110,000 ot this is for service
and 110,500 for oar rental. Three cars
are rented, but only two are used and
halt of a car I used bv the railroad
for express and baggage. As 13000
will build an ordinary mail oar. we
pay for each car each year enough to
ouiid a oar and ciouo rental besides.
Compare this witb the Star route
from Woodburn to Wilbits, a distance
or miles, whloh for tbe same ser
vice receives (000 a year.
These figures give a faint idea of
what railroads charge for carving
tbe malls, and tbat deficit in tbe U.
S. postal service is not to be wonder
ed at. It ia time tbat we take proper
steps to stop tbe outrage. Thorough
organization ia one wav to do it..
The two excellent papers on tbe
"Ideal Home" subject brought out
tbe fact that love should ever be the
ruling element of the borne; tbat
through love the burdens and joya are
equally enjoyed and distributed to all.
An interesting program ia being pre
pared for tbe next meeting. Friday
evening, Januarly 9. All members
are requested to respond to roll call
with an Interesting anecdote, quota
tion or maxim connected with Benja
min Franklin. The 17th is the 200tb
anniversary of his birth. Tbe ques
