EAST GALLATIN LETTER.

EDITOR DISCRIMINATION Sir: Not
having seen anything in your valuable pa
per from this section of Montana, have con-
cluded to drop you line.
The farmers are now putting UP their hay,
but the weather for the last week has been
unfavorable.
The late storm done great deal Of dam
age, nearly all OF the fall wheat that was not
cut, was broken down by the snow, which
was six inches deep in the vicinity Of the
Union Mills and Rus creek. Crops of spring
wheat and oats look well, but are rather late,
and fears are entertained that it will be
frosted.
Stock cattle and horses are looking fine
in this section. Grass IS better than it has
been for several years.
The oranges in Gallatin are not getting
along very well. River Side Grange has not
met for six months, and Pennington and
East Gallatin oranges have not had a quo
rum present for two months. A great many
members went into the Grange with the eX-
pectation Of making great deal of money
out of it. They We're, Of course, disappoint-
ed, and others WHO had no particular inter
est, when the novelty of the thing played
out, they quit attending the meetings. But
I think, however, there are members enough
yet, if consolidated, to make the grange q
success.
agree with your Boulder correspondent,
that an immigration Of schoolmarms is very
desirable. Respectfully yours,

Of the programme at q rural picnic. Their
object, Of course, was to crush the Grange
out by any means whatever; deeming that,
as farmers are not generally fluent on the
platform by the gloss ofeloquence which was
available against them they would be led
away. One speaker alone spokein favor OF
the order. and his statement of facts and ar
guments were SO conclusive thatnone of the
many Of the opposition dare accept the cor
dial invitation rendered and the opportunity
offered to rcbut them. 1t behooves every
brother and sister to make him and her
thoroughly acquainted with the aims and
objects Of the order. IF they do so each can

The Patrons of the Clarksvilie Tobacco

business men can accomplish. They have
learned the benefits Of cooperation and are
profiting by it. We commend their enter
prise and zeal to the careful consideration Of
drones and grumblers. Their warehouse

the purchase Of the large Cumberland Ware
house and lot adjoining, covering q space of
neorly four hundred feet. Vhe Council has
elected a Board of twelve Directors, Who
met on the 1tth inst, for permanent organ
ization. They have ten thousand dollars in
money to start on-plenty more promised.

Secretary Kelly OF the National Grange in
forms us that several secretaries Of State
Oranges are unable to make their reports,
owing to the neglect Of secretaries Of subor-
dinate oranges in not having made their
quarterly returns, We have frequently
urged up OH Masters the Importance of hold
ing the Secretary up to his duty, and can but
feel that the Master is as much Or more to
blame than the Secretary, for it is the duty
OF the Master to see that each officer '.acts
well his part,' and to report to the Grange
any neglect or ineflicency upon the part of
an officer, that the Grange may supply the
place with one Of trust and ability. We
trust masters will give this matter their
prompt and immediate attention. Agricul-
tural and Grange papers will please call at
tention to this matter, and urge the Oranges
in their several sections to remedy this evil.
