GraBge Resolutions.

The Salem grange held an interest
ing meeting in their ball ia this city
Saturday, and adopted the follow
ing preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, there is now being
formed great trust or association
by railroads to control the rates and
profits from transportation Of passen-
gers aud freight between the Allan
tic and Pacific states, and
Whereas, the construction of the
Nicaragua canal would permanently
cheapen the cost Of passenger and
freight traffic between the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts Sf this continent
and consequently lessen the futu e,
power and profits of this trus..
Therefore,
Resolved, That we view with
alarm the influence which this trust
Is able to exert IN the United 5tater
senate, to delay and perhaps defeat
the construction Of the canal, which
II completed would be greater ben-
eft to the commerce Of the world
than the SueZ canal and immensely
strengthen the power aud develop
the wealth Of the United States,
aud especially open to the Pacific
coast the markets Of Europe, Africa
aud the eastern coast of South Amer
lea.
WHEREAS; It is becoming mani
fest that money in important sums
will be appropriated by the legisla-
tive assembly at it's present session,
some OF which, namely, an apprO-
priatiOn for the Oregon exhibit at
the Columbian Fair aud another for
the purchase Of the canal and locks
at Oregon City, involving additional
state taxation, aud
WHEREAS, Some of the offices
and commissions already existing
by law, involving the expenditure of
public money than Is commensurate
with the service ~ the public vel
fare. Therefore
Resolved, it is the sense of
this Grange, that the rail road
commission may be constituted
OF a single officer aud clerk, and
thereby reduce the cost Of that office
to the state, one-half. The state fish
commission may be reduced to one
person with same pay as at present,
thus reducing the cost to one third
the present outlay.
The total expense of the State
Board Of Horticulture may be cut
Off for the next three years at least.
In view of the statements in the
governors message on the endow-
a g -. =.
cultural college aud experimental
station, we believe any further ap-
prOpriatlons to that institution, un-
necessary, and we endorse the COVER
nor's recommendations, that the
board of regents should be filled by
farmers and mechanics to a controll-
ingextent. We believe also the GOV.
ernor's message i'm re ference to in
crease Of state officers, deserves at
tention.

"J'ever hear how the old Fort and Third
Street Presbyterian church got burned
upy" said the old fireman 1T the Wayne
street house. "F you didn't it's funny
story.
1T was about fifteen years ago. The
church people conceived the idea Of run
ming the stOveyipe up the steeple TO give
more draught 70 the furnace.
"The first time they lighted up the de-
partnent turned out promptly to investi-
gate the cause Of the smoke which rolled
ont OF the steeple. We discovered what
the snap was and went home and rubbed
up our engines
About week after, about o'clock in
the morning, a belated citizen discovered
smoke pouring out Of the steeple and
turned in another alarm. We went down
again and looked at the steeple. Then we
drove back and cleaned our engines.
Three or four mornings later a new
policeman got on to the smoke and turned
in an alarm We hustled to the spot, saw
the policeman and asked, Where's the
fireY
"'There, don't you see'' he shouted,
pointing to the smoking steeple. We ex-
changed courtesies all around, and the
new policeman felt pretty small. Then we
went back and polished up the engines.
about a week later the same policeman,
saunterng down that way early in the
morning, saw the old church smoking
again. A citizen saw it, too, and screamed
at the officer:
"'Why in blazes don't you call out the
fire Department. That church is all afre.'
You be bessedr replied the officer. 4
don't bite twice on that kind of thing.
That's only the furnace.
"'Furnace be blowedp yelled the citizen,
that church is on fire, and if you DON'T
turn in an alarm ] will
"'f you do I'll lock you up, said the
cop. Now move on. The citizen moved
on, and in a few minutes the flames burst
from all the windows of the church, and
she was burned clear down to the cellar"

Talleyrand did not like La Fayette, and
he thought the true interests OF France Law
In cultivating close relations with northern
Africa rather than with America.
lie says: NJ. de La Fayette belongs TO a
noble family OF Auvergue, Boosting of but
little lusJer; under Louis XIV the intelli-
genee OF a woman had brought the name
into some rvnowu.
lie was born 10 large fortune, and had
married a lady OF the house OF Noailles.
Had not an extraordinary occurrence
drawn him out OF the rank and file he
would have been ignored all his life NJ.
dc Ia Fayette had not enough in himself 70
come 10 anything, for he is below the
standard al which one is rrckoned clever
man.
In his desire TO distinguish himself. as
well AS in the means he useA there is
something that seems taught What he
does looks as though it did not proceed
from his own self tie gives one the idea
Of a man following the advice Of somebody
else. Unfortunately no one will boast OF
having offered him any al the most i'm

A Wonder Worker.

Mr.. Frank Huffman, a young
man Of Burlington, Ohio, states
that he had been under the care of
two prominent physicians, and used
their treatment until he was not able
to get around. They pronounced
his case to be consumption and in
durable. He was persuaded to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, coughs and colds and at
that time was not able to walk across
the street without resting. He
found, before he had used half of a
dollar bottle, that he was much bet
ter; he continued TO use it and is to-
day enjoying good health. If you
have any throat, lung or chest trou-
bic try it, We guarantee satisfac-
ton. Trial bottle free at Fry's

Tho Antinuitx of Masonry.

Freemasons were communicated by
the pope IN 1898. Freemasonry is Of great
antiquity. 1t is affirmed that it has had a
being ever since symmetry began and
honor displayed her charms" Some writ
ers trace the beginning TO the time of the
building of Solomon's temple. About the
Sixth century Mohammedans instituted
frce-masonry in Spain as protection
against Christian fanatics. In 675 it was
introduced into Great Britain (some au-
thors give an earlier date. The grand lodge
of York was founded in 926. Freemasonry
WAS interdicted in England in l425, but
after that period rose TO great repute, the
grand lodge Of England being established
IN l7l7. The grand lodge OF Ireland was
established in 1889 and that Of Scotland in
1896

HIGHER EDUCATIoN.-Dr. STRAIT
ton preached AN eloquent aud iu-
structive sermon on "Higher Edu-
cation at the NJ. T.. church Sunday
evening. Before closing he touched
on the subject of taxing schools and
benevolent Institutions. lie said
that he questioned the proprlety,
even from financial standpoint, Of
taxing the institutions for higher
education, from the fact that such "A
policy had tendency to dry up the
sources of benevolence, and it would
drive those institutions out of exist
ence, and the burden would deyolve
upon the state and she would lose
by such n policy. lie also omentioned
the state supporting higher educa-
tion. While he might question the
Justice of taxing the poor for the
education OF the few, yet he was not
able to say anything against it, for
he believed II could be vindicated
that the good arising from such
schools warranted thesmall expense.
Regarding normal schools he said
he was a strong believer that the
state shold take It In hand to edu
cate the teachers who are To control
the children of the state in their tirsi
education. lie spoke ON the better
moral advantages aud the care of
the social relations OF the students In
a school under the auspices OF some
religious denomination to those Of
n school where no attention is paid
to this matter His sermon was
thoroughly practical aud full OF the
deepest thought.
