When prompted by the con-
temptation Of going west in
earnest, but in this | am

IL do abandon the home of
my tenderest care, success
may reward the change. |
remember that others have
done so. One character in
particular l remember, to-
wit: Wilkins Macawber Esq.
After many vain attempts as
a corn and coal dealer, keep.
ing boarders, reading law,
studying journalism, and
many other important occu-
pations for which he was
"peculiauly qualified" but
all of which left him without
a penny in his pocket, he
finally concluded to try a new
country and accordingly set
sail for Australia. Once
there, he soon rose to dis
tinction, and as a recogni-
tion of his great abilities, he
was elected a Justice of the
peace, and though that, as
|well as many other advent
ures OF his life became fam'
Gus the world over, the most
gratifying part of this eli
max of success is that no
one envied poor Macawber's
great achievements.
So it may be with this
wander. In a few years
there will be some J. P's to
elect out here, and it may
be, If l should become a
citizen, l might be honored
as was my old friend above
mentioned. An then, good
readers, just suppose that
the success achieved by the
ever faithful Mrs. Macawber
should be paralelled by my

This is too much for our
nerves, so we will drive
away these fancies and get

Linn County Council P. OF II.

Saturday morning July 3, ,Isss. daxned
With cloudlesa sky. giving premise of q
warm day that was fully realized ere
nightlall came.
An early start and coed travelling
brought us TO santiam Grange hall by 9
O'CLOCK, to find we were the fret on the
ground.
In due time President Rees called the
council to order. An opening song Was
sung by the Grand Prare Grange quar-
:ei. who also. afterwards. enllyened the
sessions OF the days with o number OF
soul stirring grange songs.
The chaplain offered an esrnes. PRAYER,
and then followed roll call OF delegates,
and reading OF minutes.
There being no business OF pressing
moment, the question "Does it pay 10
summer follow, and how should il be
done" Was taken up aud discussed by Al
fred Morgan rs leader, followed oy j. III.
Perry. Mart Miller. Thos. Froman. M.
B. Case. C. L. Shaw, Henry Cyrus. Frank
Crabtree. 9. II. Walker and g. L. Rees.
All believed in summer fallow, but diff
ferred as TO hox it shodid be done. Mart
Miller would plow bat onee in the spring,
and then let sheep do tie rest, until seed
ing time in the fall Thought the sun
shining on the bare and barren fields did
not injure the soil. There was much de-
eided opposition to this opinion. but
Mart maHfuily stuck TO is text without
any yielding.
When dinner was announced all re-
paired to natures dining halrh whose
canopy was the clear blue sky, and un.
der il, on the shady side OF the hall. q
long table was found spread with very
inviting lunch. This Was an Innovation
upon the usual custom of gr .nge dinners,
as was also the furnishing OF only clear,
sparkling water as o beverage, in place
OF the usual tea and coffee. This smacked
strongly OF genuine teetotalisni, end oil
course pleased the writer.
For the afternoon session there first
came the question "0f what benefit il
the grange TO society" led by Mrs. Laura
Froman, followed by Mrs. l. omine, Mira
Peery, Mrs. Mary Walker and others
some from the gentlemens side. All
| agreed that the grange vac O great ben.
eft not only socially but educationaliy
and morally.
By special request from Willamette
| grange, Benton county, for the next eee-
sicn TO be held with it, FIRST Saturday In
l October IL was 90 voted.
| A vote OF thanks was rendered Santian
grange Tor use OF hall and refreshments
furnirhe.
Question for next meeting for men Is
"How best to reduce the expenses of oul
state government. Leader, O.. II
Walker, with John Whitaker and j. III
Scott 10 follow. Question for lsdies
"What influence has the education of to
day upon the boys and girls of tomor
row." Leader, Mrs. w. 4. Oiin, will
Mesdames u. ]. Whitney, NJ. ]. Ander

| The days work being done the council
adjourned.
And now friends and fellow patrons O

months, with the hope that at the end Q
the same you will want to hear from u
again.
Be faithful, loyal, and thus fulfil on

MONDAY
Death of Mrs. Rurkhart.

Mrs. Leander Burkhart, one of Linn
county's earliest pioneers and most res
pected citizens, died at Ashland, yester-
day morning, July 4, 1898, at the age oi
63 years. Mrs. Burkhart has been
failing for the past few years, and last
year spent several months in California
for the benefit of her health. Last week
she was taken to Ashland hoping the
change would help her, being accompan-
led by DR.. Mrs. Beers, but it was too late
and she passed away as stated.
Mrs. Burkhart was pioneer of ISi7
and spent her life on the donation land
claim taken up by her husband adjoin-
ing this city, woman respected and es-
teemed by everybody for many noble
traits of character. Mr.. Burkhart died
over twenty years ago. She leaves five
sons and daughters, 81. D, Robert l.,
William and Bessie Burkhart and Mrs.
w. L. Baker, who have the sympathy OF
the entire community in their great loss.
Funeral services viii be held tomor-
row at 10 q. m. at the residence of the
deceased in the eastern part of the city.

Mr.. Morrison and wife OF Streator Ill,
are visiting with Thomas Anderson and
family.
DR.. J. n. Smith of Salem was visiting
his parents this week. He was accom-
panied by his daughter Mabel.
Law is Just rule, of action, and we
| like to see it enforced but last week
while in Albany we saw an aged man
who 1--WE were informedl was a prisoner,
deprived of liberty for 50 days, and had
paid a fine of 500 for selling whiskey
without license. We don't object to
this but are glad to see that there are
some officers who will do their duty, but
why is it that some of our officers will
permit open violation OF law and not
make any attempt to hinder? We have
reference to q class of people who will
open their business houses seven days in
the week and sell goods. Not Sabbath
, passes but what these houses are open
and some of them claim to do as much
business on that day as they do on any
other. III one man suffers for violating
the law why not others? Does the Off
Ger do his duty.
Some of our farmers are running their
mowers almost "a hours for aday. the
nay crop Is large and they want to get 1t
taken care of before the 4th.
Mrs. Mary E. Smith. of Tacoma is
visiting relatives in this county.
Mr.. VIM. Morgan of Halsey was in
our town last week. He was visiting
his uncle.
Mr.. Z. G. Junkins OF Philomsth
visiting friends here.
Mr.. D. W. Millhollen is putting up
fruit dryer. He has large crop OF
prunes and other fruit.
Smith was on the jury last week bat
in his haste to get there he forgot to put
a handkerchief in his right hand pocket,
but he didn't do without. Oh, mol not
him he stopped at the residence OF q
friend and borrowed two OF those essent-
ial articles.
