Grange history in 4his state the
pathway has been strcwn with gems
of loyalty, devotion and SSelf-sa.crl-
flee. The order has gone down INTO
the valley of death in the past but
IT is proud thought. that while
other and greater agricultural states
have lost their place in the National
Grange. that our Mountain State
has ever maintained her position at
the council board of the grandest
brotherhood of farmers ever bound
together by the silver cord OF frater-
nifty.
to maintain the Grange tffTs
state. but what the Grange has ac-
complishcd in the state and hation
for the elevation of our farmers and
the advancement Of agricult9re, IS
worth vastly more than it cost. 1t
would he a shame TO ourselves and to
our children for the Grange ship to
90 down before any gale. Tossed
upon a sea of human passion, par
tisanism, sectarianism and selhsn-
ness. the good old hip mustt be heid
With her bow toward the placid
waters ate of broad humanitarid,nism.
And now, fellow Patrons. united

At ABAMST0H

Politics have not become at all
lively at Adamston as vet though
the time is near at hand, when there
is TO be an election of town officials.
There is some oposition to the pres
ent officials but that opposition app
pears not to have the nerve to take
the initiative and is waiting for the
other side to act. But the latter
saw they have the advantaY in the
fght and propose to make the other
fellows show their hand. 1t is
stated they will not hold conven-
ton at all. unless the opposition
does. as the present officials can
STAY in Office until their successors
are elected and qualified.
The town council has appointed
William J. Primm, Daniel H. CUT

BOISE WILL ENTERTAIN.
Arrangements Already Under Way for
Irrigation Congreaa.

Monte B. Gwinn who was elected
chairman of the executive committee
of the irrigation congress, will leave
shortly for Salt Lake on business con-
nected with that position, says the
Boise Statesman. He has not defi-
nitely accepted that position, and be-
fore doing so wishes to ascertain as
nearly as possible whether he will
receive the support from the irriga-
ton states that will be necessary to
make a success of the meeting of the
congress in Boise.
The Oregon people interested in ir-
rieation have pledged him their un-
divided support and uregu him to ac-
cept the place. He is now going to
Utah and perhaps to some other states
interested in the subject to sound the
leaders on the same subject.
Mr.. Gwinn proposes, II he takes
hold to make the meeting in Boise
the most practical and in every way
the most useful gathering of the con-
greEs ever held and he wishes to have
the full cooperation of all interested.

DEVELOPING SHEEP INDUSTRY.
Eastern Oregon Counties Now Filled
With Small Herds.

One of the greatest developments
made in eastern Oregon in the past
five or six years is the growing OF
small bands of sheep by FARMERS and
small stock men through Union and
Baker counties.
Where a few years ago, cattle
horses and hay were the principal
industries, now small bands of sheer
ranging from 500 to 1900 are owned
by these same farmets.
All through Powder River valley
and on the various creek settlements
in Union and Baker counties, are now
found small bands of we'll bred sheep
some Of them being owned by farm
ers and other bands being leased
Alfalfa hay is plentiful and since
wool and mutton have been command
ing such high prices, the Industry has
spread out into these remote locali-
ties at a remarkable rate.
In Powder River valley IS this ex-
ceptionally noticeable. That district
has recently been reclaimed from the
arid state and is now almost one solid
alfalfa field from end to end and
within the past five years, nearly all
the alfalfa farmers have acquired
sheep. Some of them lease small
herds and consolidate with each other
