GOOD TEMPLARs IN COUNCIL.

The Grand Lodge of the Independent
Order of Good Templars have held a
busy and well-attended session in this
city this week. The delegates, Of whom
perhaps one-fourth were women, came
from various portions Of the State, and
many Of them were thoroughly imbued
with the spirit Of temperance. It is
scracely less amusing than mournful to
hear the members, when talking upon
the political phase of the temperance
movement, founder about in every con-
eeivable way to escape endorsing or
proposing Woman Suffrage as a needed
element therein. Once in a while a
brother who in his heart advocates the
doctrine Of wOman's enfranchisement,
but lacks the courage to avow it, steps
unwittingly near the brink of bis true
opinions, and we heard one at least ex-
press his regrets that women were not
allowed to voice their temperance senti-
ments at the ballot-box. But the sis
ters sit silently by, afraid seemingly TO
express themselves, although the most
Of them listen eagerly when the subject
is approached ever so cOvertly.
The reports Of the Grand Worthy
Chief Templar and Grand Secretary
show an earnestness in the labor as
signed to them, and an increase Of men,
bership and enthusiasm consequent
upon such faithful labor that is espe-
eiaiiy edifying and encouraging to work
ers IN subordinate lodges. About fifty
lodges in the jurisdiction were repre-
sented in this Grand Lodge, and the
representation We are sure will eomnara
favorably with that shown by anv
grand lodge organization that has met
In this city this spring whose delegate.

HISTORICAL.

Hubert II. Bancroft, whom we noticed
last week as being now making a tour
Of the Northwest Coast for the purpose
Of collecting materials for an authentic
history Of the same, has certainly under
taken an interesting work, and seems
to be pursuing it with great vigor and
enthusiasm. The object Of the author,
we CLEAN from a hasty perusal Of the
outline Of his plans furnished Us, is to
make as complete history and record
OF the pioneer Northwest, especially of
California and Oregon, as painstaking
care and vast outlay Of time and labor
can accomplish. Much will be COM
piled from the testimony Of living wit
nessesi pioneer and native Californians
and Oregonians, and upon its accuracy
and detail much will depend as to future
authenticity of early times on the Pacific
Coast. Citizens Of our State will doubt-
less take pride and pleasure in furnish
ing details Of history and pioneer records
that but for a work Of this kind in
which to embalm them will be number.d
among the unnumbered things Of buried
centuries before fifty years shall hav,
passed away.

Oregon Pioneers .

The address Of Judge Strong before the
Oregon Pioneer Association at Salem
last week is replete with interesting in
eident, and pays deserved tribute to the
energy, perseverance and labOrs of the
hardy pioneers of old territorial days.
The following are among the concluding
words of the address
The pioneers of Oregon were brave
and sturdy men. The more ] study the
history of their acts, the greater my ad-
miration. The provisional government
they established is a monument TO their
wisdom. II shows that they had a Just
appreciation Of the true principles Of
Republican government. They carried
on that government for thirteen years
under circumstances Of great difficulty,
with great prudence and success, acting
in all emergencies with such consum-
mate prudence and foresight that events
have pointed out no better course
which they could have pursued.
The pioneers were young then. We
are getting along in years now. Yet, as
we sit around the campfire and talk
over the days of our youth, we feel
young again. We tell the friend that
we now see tor the first time since we
Travelled together in Oregon, that We
feel as young as we ever did. We see
as the Ire brightens that be has grown
old. His gray hairs, bis wrinkled brow
aud feeble steps excite our sympathy
We attempt to arise to assist him. Our
stifiened limbs fail to respond to the
will, and We find, alas that age has
also fallen upon US.
My friends, we shall soon pass away.
Year by year these reunions of the old
pioneers will grow smaller and smaller.
1 trust we shall continue to our latest
breath to feel a deep interest in the well
fare Of each other aud in the State
where we have so long lived, and which
we have contributed so much TO create
aud build up.

MEN AS COOKS.

a lady proposing, in case men were
unable to procure help for their wives
in harvest when these latter were un-
able, without serious discomfort to
themselves aud permanent injury to
their unborn children or nursing in
fants, to perform the whole labor, that
they Cthe mem help to make the pies
and prepare the harvest feasts, gives
the subjoined evidence concerning mas
culine ability 10 that line. This evil
dence, furnished mainly by men them
selves, explodes the idea that women
were born to be the cooks of the world,
Just as the glossy and snowy linen that
is sent home each week from the Chi
nese lauudries where the work is done
solely by men, explOdes the idea that
washing and ironing is woman's work
exclusively. When either men or
women excel in any labor or art, it is
presumable at least that they have
some natural fitness or aptitude for it.
We quote What an absurd idea l
hear you exclaim. Well, you may
think it absurd, but men are excellent
cooks, nay, more, natural cooks. Do
you doubt it? Then for a moment re-
vert to our war. Men by the thousands
were summoned to do their own cook
ing, and proved eminently successful, if
we can believe their own statements.
Did you ever talk with a dozen re
turned soldiers an hour In regard to
camp life, and fail to hear that some
body made the most delightful coffee
you ever drank9 Or did you ever know
a huntsman who couldn't broil beef
steak better than any woman he ever
knew And, as a rule, do not our first
class hotels and restaurants employ and
prefer men cooks? Twenty-Five thou
sand pies are made daily in Chicago by
men. We believe that a mutual inter
change of work is occasionally bene-
fetal, and do not see any reason why
lady may not don the straw hat and
gloves and take drive around the farm
In sulky pillow, while her son varies
the monotony of the day at the sewing
machine. And we really believe that
we will have made an advance in civil

nized as important and obligatory as
