the southern part of Wabasha Co., and it is
already an important wheat market. Wa
basha complains that it is cutting off the
wheat trade from them and we judge the
complaint is we'll founded from the rush of
teams loaded with wheat that we saw there
Saturday.
There is a thriving Grange of about forty
members at this place, the members living
mostly up Cooks Valley at the mouth of
which Kellogg is situated. MIR. Lewis
S. Hancock is Master of the Grange, and is
wide awake. energetic man. who has the
confidence and esteem Of his neighbors, and
lie knows how to keep a good hotel as well
as well as to run il farm. Mr.. H. in
formed us that fine water pow er could
be obtained at that place by the construc-
ton Of :. dam and mill race. The stream
running by he place is the Zumbro.

Brothers and sisters, let us be very care
full about calling each other thieves and
rascals without there is we'll grounded sus-
picion for such charges. Our enemies
have said that we could not long hold to-
gether, that we should soon split up into
factions, which would end in anarchy and
death to the cause. We know Of no surer
means to effect this very thing, than to keep
Oh ilnputing dishonest motives to members
without any reasonable grounds therefor.

But at length it is completed and takes it's
place among the greatest achievements of
the nineteenth century. The Troy &
Greenfield Railroad first undertook the
work, and in 1854, secured aid from the
State of Massachusetts. The first contract
was to complete the work for $3.50, 900,
of which the State was to furnish S2.OOO.-
600. In 1862 the State assumed the man.
agement and proceeded with the work till
1865. when new appropriation of S5,0OO,-
OOO, and new contract entered into with the
parties, who finished the tunneling part on
Thanksgiving day last. 1t is intended to
have the tunnel open for traffic on the 4th
day of July next.
1t is said that $4,000 cubic yards of
solid rock have been blasted, which re-
quired the use of 275,000 pounds of nitro
glycerine, 100000 pounds of common DOW
der, 48,50O pounds of giant powder, and
$50 pounds of dualin, making in all ESQ.,
900 pounds. During its progress 1876 per-
sons have lost their lives by accidents of
various kinds. The work when COMPLETED
will cost over $l0,OOO,e0 How much Of
this cost has been made by the Credit Mo-
bilier system Of inanceering will perhaps
remain forever unknown.
The completion of this road must result

What We Did Say.

On Thanksgiving day Hay Creek Grange
gave festival, followed by a dance in the
evening. Mr.. Herbert made speech and
advised farmers to fix the price OF their
! own produce. County Republican.
What we did say was that the wonderful
growth in the farmers movement IN this
country, and especially in Iowa and lll-
nois, arose from feeling among farm
ers that they were not having a fair show
and for that on account of high freights
| and the high prices paid for machinery IN
the States named, the raising of their
staple crop, (corn) had become unprotita-
bic, and at the end Of each year the farm
er raising corn found himself poorer ;
that manufacturers combined and set their
prices, which the farmers were compelled
to pay and the reason farmers had COM
bined so rapidly was feeling that in or
ganization they would be able to secure
their rights. But we also said that while
this accounted for the rapid growth Of the
Oranges it was by no means all that there
ment took hold Of men at every point, that
its principles broke down cant, did away
with partizan and sectarian bigotry, and
made US recognize in every man q brother :;
that it had noble benevolence, and re-
ligion that goes with the laborer to his
fields, and teaches him of the great All
Father in all the wonderful processes of
nature. More than this, we said that it
tended to mental and social eleva-
tion; that the Grange should be made
a pleasant place, that music should
not be neglected, and that the noble songs
Of the Patron should be sung with the
spirit and the understanding, that the du-
ties Of the Lecturer should not be neg
lected, and that topics relating to agricul-
ture should be discussed, and every posi-
BILE means used for the elevation of the no
bic calling of agriculture that the Oranges
should take hold of the County and State
fairs and make them places where the
farmers should go to discuss methods of
farming, and to learn as we'll as to see.
This was in brief what we said. Yet. out
of all this, all that man, who, before the
last election, professed to sympathize
deeply with the farmers in their movement,
and only opposed their political action,
can find worthy Of mention in his valuable
paper SO loyal (?) to the people, the sneer-
ing remark is, that we advised the farmers
to set their own price on their products.
But what if we did tell them as you say,
friend Republican What do you propose
to do about it? You set your price on
your valuable (?) paper and you say you
will not take any less. Is your old type,
your brain, your time, or even your patent
inside, any more valuable to you, than the
farmers farm. his horses and his cattle,
his day Of toll in the summers heat and
the winters cold? Is not the farmer 8
wheat as much his property as your paper
is yours?

The State Agency.

We have so far taken no part in the DIS
cussion respecting the State Agency, and
the State Agent, although portion Of the
correspondence that has been published
was also sent us for publication. The fact
is we have been unable to gather sufficient
facts in reference to the matter upon which
to found an opinion. But we now think
that the discussion has reached point
where it becomes our duty to enter an un-
qualified protest. As to Mr.. Denman's ca
pacity to fulfil the duties of that position,
we know nothing, and after carefully read
ing great many letters in reference to this
matter, we should think there are great
many others who know as little as we do as
to his qualifications. But the feature of
this discussion against which we protest,
is that charging Mr.. Denman with fraud
and dishonesty. These charges are in the
most general terms. No specific act or
acts are given. Now is this just? is it
| right? is 1t treating brother as we would
desire to be treated? If Mr.. Denman has
done anything fraudulent, or committed q
dishonest act, let US know what it is, and
THE GRANGE ADVANCE will guarantee his
Immediate removal from the position he
lids, and instant expulsion from the order

We have sincerely desired and still do

same cause and should combine our efforts,
but if the Union is not disposed to do so,

HOOSaC Tunnel.

On the 9th ult: the celebrated Hoosac
Tunnel was virtually completed. 1t is now
nearly twenty yeaas since this vast enter
prise was first undertaken. During this
period there have been many failures and
much hard struggling for success, while
;jobbery and corruption have bloated and

Mr.. R. c. Libbey, Of Hastings, informs
the readers Of THE GRANGE ADVANCE that
he takes No. l wheat at S1.0O per bushel
in exchange for good, common lumber from
twelve to fourteen dollars per thousand.
We regard the business man who thus aids
in keeping up the price of wheat, and helps
our farmers from being compelled to sell at
ruinously low prices, as public bencfac-
tor, and one to be remembered by those
who have been benefited. Let US see this
spirit more universally exhibited by our
business men.
It would be interesting to know just
how many old Quartermasters, Suffers and
army contractors have rushed to Washing

lives to their country in the Commissary
department, and the lives of their fellow
citizens in the ranks. These chaps are a
good deal like Jobs war horse, they smell

be rolled or narrowed down, and then
