From the Cal. Granger, April I'd.
The Grange of Richland learned at
its last meeting that Mr.. Minor resi-
dent of this vicinity had lost his team,
for three weeks past had q sick family,
and had fallen badly behind with his
work. On Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, gang and single plows
and men turned out, seed corn and
barley were furnished and twenty-five
acres were planted. Noble charity;
and he not a member of the order.
The influence of the Changers in
favor of cheap transportation seems to
be felt at least by the railroad COM
panes. The price per carload of cat
tie from Chicago to New York is said
to be reduced from $135 to $50, Buffalo
and Albany from $50 to $35, Buffalo
to New York from $50 to $45. 1t is
evident that the Changers are gradu-
ally becoming power in the land.
The New York State Grange met in
Albany on the Goth ult. and adopted
resolutions accepting the declaration
of the National Grange at st. Louis,
demanding legislation to open and
improve avenues of traffic; cheaper
transportation; pro rata freight law;
low canal tolls, and the canal debt
funding amendment, and favoring
reasonable temperance reform legisla-
