The Banner Lodge of oregon.

Harmony Chapter, No. u, r. S.,
which has just heen instituted in this
city, deserves the distinction.of being
the banner lodge of that order in the
state, having been organized with-63
charter members, being the largest
charter list of any chapter ever or
ganized in the state, and of the twelve
chapters in this jurisdiction it stands
second in the number of mem bers.
The membership now consists Of thirty
eight ladies and twenty-fveg gentlemen,
and bids fair to enjoy rapid growth,
the object of the order being such as
will readily commend themselves to
all who seek admission into an en-
nobling fraternal society.
Harmony lodge was usKered into ex.
istence under most favorable and pleas.
ing circumstances, as was evidenced
BY the happy events last night. After
the sisters had conferred the degree
upon twenty-five brother knights, and
the ceremonies of installing officers
had been observed, the chapter re-
paired to Fraternity hall, where tables
had been spread with viands that
would have tempted the daintiest
epicure, and sat down to banquet,
the splendor of which has seldom been
excelled in the city. Harmony lodge
certainly bids fair to becomeone OF the
leading social societies ofthe city, aud
that the Rathboue Sisters will make
all future. meetings attractive is as.
sured.

They Didn't Get q job.

A few evenings since rathe,
pleasant appearing gentleman ap
peared in the city. pretending to be d
representative OF the o. R. & N. Co.,
wanting number of hands to work on
the road below here. He offered good
wages, and had no difficulty In secur-
ing dozen or more hands. He had
them all assemble at the Cosmopolitan
hotel with their bedding. clothing. ETC.,
to await the arrival Of the 4 o'clock
train that was to carry them to the
place of work. Just before the train
arrived he pretended to telephone to
the depot and receive word that the
men could not go down on the pas
senger, but would take a freight for
the scene of their operations. While
the men were patiently waiting for the
freight, ana contemplating their good
fortune of getting job during these
dull times. the railroad boss quietly
disappeared. Eventually it dawned
upon the men that they had been
biiked and they started out in'pursuit OF
their employer. but he was no where to
be found, nor has he been seen or heard
of since. The mems temper was not
sweetened by being kept up all night,
and had they caught the alleged rail-
roader. he no doubt would have been
treated to a bit of railroading that
would not have been altogether pleas.

DEMONSTRATION" ;"

The paper read by Hon. Geo. H.
Williams at the Congregational church
Tuesday on the subject OF reconstruc-
tion of the Southern states after the
late war, was well received and atten-
lively listened to by large audience.
Mr.. Williams confined himself largely
to historical facts, beginning with a
brief account of the war OF the rebel.
lion, and passing on to the passsge of
the reconstruction act by congress,
giving a brief account of the military
rule in the South after the war. Mr..
Williams was member of the senate
from Oregon at the time of the close OF
war, and drafted the bill for the act re-
admitting the Southern states into the
Union, and was also instrumental in
drafting and passing the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
to the constitution, all OF which were
noticed in his lecture. The part Mr..
Williams took in the affairs of the
government during the exciting times
that followed the close of the civil war
are all matters of history, and won for
him reputation as one of the leading
stltesmen of the time, yet 1t was
pleasant to hear them rehearsed by
him whom all patriotic Oregonians
honor and look upon as national
benefactor,

Assembly of artisans Organised.

Monday night DR.. F. Farnham organ
lied an assembly Of Artisans in this
city. to be known as The Dalles As.
sembly of United Artisans. The as.
sembly organized with large mem
ship, and the following officers were
elected: Master Artisan, T. A. Hud-
son; superintendent, N. Whealdon; in.
spector, DR.. Frazer; secretary, D. N.
Roberts; treasurer, Ed. Kurtz. In
stallation of officers will be held next
Saturday evening.
The order of United Artisans Is dis
tinctively an Oregon institution, hav-
ing been instituted by Senator ]. H.
Mitchell in Portlaada little more than
a year ago. The object of the order is
to provide fraternal insurance to its
members. and its strongest claim for
superiarity among like orders is its
system Of graded assessment. Unlike
most secret societies, ladies are ad-
mitted to full membership. and this,
together with the idea of retaining at
home the vast sums of money that are
sent abroad for insurance, accounts for
It's phenominal growth, over 900 men,
bers having been received into the Or
der within the past month. The char.
ter of this assembly will remain
open until after the installation
of officers, so as to admit as charter
members all those who desire to join,
and it is expected that The Dalles AS
sembly will be permanently organized
with fifty members.

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Statistics of Supply Indicating Further
Advance.

The wheat market is coming up a
satisfactory jumps. On "Wednesday
the price advanced about three cent.
IN Portland, and the came at Tacoma
The local price in Umatilla county
points is now about so cents. The de.
mand for wheat for export is reported
as being stronger, and facts are now
coming out to the effect that the worlds
supply is far less than estimates have
indicated. A London paper states:
"The total product OF the wheat
crop in Great Britain is officially estt-
mated at no more than q, 19+, ,256 BUSH
els. while the total requirements were
2lO, 900, 900 bushels. More than 2,00o,-
600 acres have gone out of wheat culti-
vation in England in the last twenty
years. The average per acre last year
was the smallest ever known, only 2ei
bushels. 1t is also stated that Russia's
wheat crop was $4,000, 900 bushels short
in 1895, and the rye crop 100000
short. This came from the decline in
the yield per acre. Great Britain car
not afford to cultivate wheat at the
prices of the last two or three years"

has certainly met Oregon's senior re-
preventative somewhere in her travels.
She describes the congressional hand
shake as follows:
sIf you never shook hands with q
congressman, then you have some
thing yet to live for. AS near as it can
be described this is it: The congress-
man appears with his hand promptly
outstretched. Don't be fiattered.
That's part of the business. He doesn't
stop shaking hands until man has
borrowed from him at least, twice.
When he sees it is woman he grasps

parently forgets it Is your hand at all.

No Room For More Twists.

One of the best cartoons We have
seen for long time is one that ap-
pears in recent issue of the New York
World. The British lion is repre-
sented standing with his tail erect and
with his tail twisted clear to the end,
first by the powers of Europe and lastly
by President Cleveland and President
Kruger. Behind the lion stands
grandson William, of Germany, with
his Transvaal message, endeavoring to
give the lions tail another twist. The
lion casts backward glance at the
young man and pointing one paw at
him says with contemptuous curl .;
the upper lip:
81 draw the line on you, young man.
That tail has been twisted quite enough
of late,"

Eale El,sler in Shakespeare.

Effie Ellsler is billed to appear at the
Baldwin January 80 and 81. 1t is not
enough to say of Effle Ellsler that she
has succeeded and that the evil tongues
which were won't to malign women of
her profession are still when her name
is mentioned. 1t must also be said
that she has won the place she holds
by honest and persistent effort, by the
steady develoment OF an inherited ca-
pacity and by always appealing to the
better sense and better nature OF her
audiences. She is one of those who
show that the stage may be made void
of harm, without lessening its intere st
for the public. She is playing Shakes
peare now and will be seen as Rosalind
in "As You Like It." Juliet in "Romeo
and Juliet" and Camille. No matter
What she plays, "our Efie" is always
sure Of welcome.

me. I stepped into the First National
bank of this city the other day to get a

said that I had taken it from Spo.

have to be taken from me for that
amount. He informed me that they
weighed every gold piece that came in.

the question with him, but time is too |
precious in the First National bank for

was compelled to have some change, so
1 thought I would pay my hotel bill to

piece to the clerk for payment. He
looked at the gold piece, then at Inc,
and smiled as only hotel clerk can.

THE CROP FOR EASTERN OREGON.

| . Corn.
The more that is learned regarding
this new variety of corn, the more con.
vincing is the evidence that it is
| adapted to the coil and climate of
Eastern Oregon. 1t has been success
fully grown in Kansas the past six
years, and the results are most salts
factory to those who have cultivated
it, especially on soil that Is not suited
to the growth of wheat, oats and indian
corn.
The Chicago Tribune has made ex-
tensive inquiries regarding the sue.
cess with which this crop has been
cultivated in Kansas and Oklohoma,
and has reached the following conciu.
sions:
"Protracted droughts have but little
effect upon its acreage product, save in
lengthening the time to maturity. It
will average. as a certainty, from 40 to
Is bushels an acre. 1t has now no
market value, being in the experiment
tai stage. 1t will certainty grow well |
and yield when all other cereals fail.
1t natures within less than four |
months. 1t belongs to the cane, or
broom-corn family, but does not grow
to height of over four to five feet.
The stalk contains very large per.
,entage of saccharine. If sowed broad.
east a field of Kaffir corn resembles a
field of exceedingly rank millet. The
iced plume, or ear, is about IL inches
n length. The berry, or kernel, is
lbout the size of plump barley, and
nearly round. 1t is we'll adapted to
oils of the poorer quality.
sThose who have raised this new
orp say it is.about as valuable crop
8 the common corn, and compares
avorably with barley or oats. 1t is
specially valuable for seed and fodder, {
tut it is also used to large extent for
anily purposes. 1t has been thor I
ughly tested for stock, and mas been l
ound to be healthful, and there is'no |
ase on record where an overfeed of it

client grain to: feed to chickens, as !
hey like it and fatten on il rapidly. q
is "a good deal like the Egyptian i
orn raised to some extent in Califor. Y
la, and is also similar to what is j
pown as Jerusalem corn. 1t seems to
g different species of the same
eneral family. In value it is about b
le same as common corn, in the judg- P
lent of local feed dealers and those a
