common people Of the whole State
Send Jordan up here; we will endeavor
to pilot him through safely, and we will
stand for it that no lobbyist will come

send him here from DeSOtO county. 1t

II develops now, through Governor
BrOward, that he is not the first Flor
ida Governor that advocated the drain
age and reclamation Of the Everglades.
BrOward says Governors BlOxham and
Mitchell both recommended IL IN their
messages. The idea is not original with
our present Governor Lakeland Sun.
On the plan il has been pushed 80 far
1t surely is original with Governor
Broward, and he il fully entitled to what
Is going TO come out of it, and he is and
will get what Is coming 10 him. too.
Governors Bloxham and Mitchell mi y
have, and possibly did, recommend tn,
drainage Of the States swamp ino
overlooked lands, but they proposed
that it be experimental with by pr
vate, and not public moneys, those par
ties undertaking it at no risk or expense
TO the people Of Florida; and the prop
osition always carried with it that they
were TO be paid In lands that were re-
claimed and drained, Can't Governor
Broward and others be made to see the
great difference?

Senator Frank Adams retired from
politics for awhile All right. but some
people Of Hamilton county just won't
have il that way. The two candidates
who had announced for the Senate have
withdrawn their announcements and
petitions galore have been signed and
published in the two county newspa-
pers putting him in again One John
High, objects to things going exactly
that way. however, and after giving a
number Of reasons for il suggests the
calling Of a mass meeting to put anoth-
or candidate in the field. II begins
now to look as IL Senator Frank will
be put into some more warm politics in
his neck of the woods and being one of
Florida shrewdest of the shrewd poll

our doubts about deep-in-the-deed pol
iticiRn returning and all Of Ne Floridians
expected To see Senator Adams back,
but we expected he would be after
something little higher up than State

saying goes. and we may live to learn
something more from his manpulations

The enemies Of Ex-Governor Jennings
are running him for Congress against
Hon. s. M. Sparkman for an excuse to
throw mud at him. The Ex-Governor is
not In politics as a candidate just now
When he becomes a candidate the pub
lie will hear Of it through his friends,
not his enemies - Brooksville Argus.
Mr.. Jennings, himself, took OCCASION
according to one Of the Tampa news
papers, while in that city not long
since, to throw out gentle hint" that
he would be a candidate when your
Uncle Stephen Sparkman went out
after Senatorship, or something to
that effect To cut long story short,
we believe the most respectable thing
the Ex-Governor could do under all the
many and varied circumstances would
be 10 settle himself down in that ele-
giant and expensive up-to date mansion
he Ii now or has recently had built at
Brooksville. He would perhaps then
keep happier, and the people of Florida
would be better satisfied

BINGEN.

As there has been no word in the
Glacier from this place for some time,
YOU may think Bingen has dissap-
peared, but such is not the case: On,
no! Bingen is coming forward slow
but sure. People come here to invest
in town property. A livery and feed
stable, new store, and possibly a
bank will be opened in the near fu-
ture, The Maple Hotel is doing a
rushing business. AS Bingen will be
one of the main stations on the north
bang railroad, the future of the town
is assured.
You will have noticed In the White
Salmon Enterprise, that the head men
of the raiIT Dad company made the
White Salmon people the concession y
to name the station at Bingen, "Whlte
Salmon" but the editor was mlsln'
formed The officers of the company
did no such thing, as it would be
unreasonable. 1t was also stated in
the same number that the people OF
White Salmon were going to ship all
their freight to Hood River, which we
suppose is true, they would not ask
for such concession. There are
three railroad construction camps in
this neighborhood, but only one OF
them has done much work, the other
two are just getting started as it has
been quite wet for dirt work. Con.
tractor Jones men have commenced
to grade the station grounds Of Bin
gen. When completed the railroad
company will have a most convenient
and beautiful place at their disposal.
We expect good deal of building
to be done at BiBgen t is summer.
The parties who have bought lots here
! will put up dwellings this spring.

in a very pleasing and interesting

Many of the questions asked and
answered by the members of the
Grange we're quite interesting and in
structive. Here is few Of them:
Should newspapers publish the de-
tails of murders and suicidesH
What requirements are necessary to
make candidate elegible for governor
of Oregon?
Should the U. S. government remove
the internal revenue from denaturized
alcohol?
Are volunteer soldiers better than
large standing armies, and why?
Many other questions equally as
good we're asked and answered, but
space forbids giving more. The gems
of thought we're equally as good. Here
is one Of them

While this entertainment was not
an elaborate affair, yet it was one full
of merriment and instruction. If
some of our star actors can do so well
with only two weeks preparation, it
is only a conjecture to foretell what
is their future.
.. 1t was the concensus of opinion that
Pine Grove Grange should and would
have in the near future large hall
where more and better entertai ments
might be given to a comfoI tably seated
audience.
We hope to again welcome our
friends to another literary and social
feast before the long days of labor be-
gin. Our Grange now has 81 members
and one on the mourners bench and

Resolutions introduced by executive
committee of Pine Grove Grange No.
356, Hood River, Oregon:
Whereas, The citizens of the United
States have become so attached to the
usefulness of our postal service that 1t
is regarded by all to be one of the
most important branches of our gov.
ernment. And whereas, our highest
ambitions in our postal, as well as In
all other governmental work, is to ad-
vance 70 a more perfect system, which
may not be excelled by any other ma
tion.
And whereas, any conditions that
may directly or INDIRECTLY restrict or
curtail the perfection or extension OF
our postal service will he bitterly OPP
posed by all true Americans.
And whereas, our enormous postal
deficit during this fiscal year ending
June 30. 1906, will reach fifteen mil
lion dollars, thereby creating con-
dition that will retard advancement
and improvement in our postal SER
vice,
And whereas, our nation is the only
great nation where such condition
exists and where the income of the
postal department does not exceed its
: expen ,es, thereby bringing a revenue
to the government.
And whereas, such growing deficit
each year will forever prevent any
favorable legislation ward the estab-
lishment of United States postal saw
ing banks or parcel post. delivery,
such as is now enjoyed by the citizens
of Mexico and nearly all the Euro
pean countries.
And whereas, such a condition of
annual Indebtedness will retard the
perfection and extension of our rural
delivery system, which is so highly
appreciated, not only by members OF
the Patrons of Husbandry, but by
all re .idents of our agricultural dis
trIcts,
And whereas, many of our postal
employees such as city and rural letter
carriers and many postoti1oe clerks are
not paid fair compensation for the
class of labor they perform, yet with
fifteen million dollar postal deficit
before us we cannot expect to give
them any relief
and whereas, the wages paid in
some instances is so small that pTi-
vate subscription fund, from two to
three hundred dollars per year, is
necessary in order to retain our rural
carriers
And whereas, we believe this enor-
nous deficit is caused in great
measure by the payment of exorbitant
prices to the railroads for the carry
ing of our mails, by exorbitsnt prices
pad for the use of stamping ma
chimes, time recording clocks and
many other supplies in every branch
uf our pc tai service; also by the fla
grant abuse of the Frank act.
Therefore, Be it resolved, that 1t II

NEW IDEAS IN EMBROIDERY.
Double Motive in Working OF Design,
Upon Taffeta.

Women who like to embroider can
get up some very pretty designs using
the new embroidered silks as patterns.
One oma made up a very pretty
brown taffeta in a medium shade, and
upon this she marked out little cir.
cles, diamonds and arrow shaped silk
of precisely the anne shade as the
background. 1t was a great deal of
work, but the effect was indescribably
rich.
1t has been discovered by some n
that the working of designs upon tat
feta not only improves the general ap.
pearance of the silk, giving 1t a very
expensive look, but 1t also makes the
taffeta wear better, which is much in
its favor. Taffeta that has been
strengthened by the working of little
silk figures all over it will outwear
two or three times the taffeta that is
made up plain. But the working OF
| the figures certainly is tiresome, call.
ing for lots of patience and good eye
sight.
1t looks just now as though brown
WOulu De NOIH Il GREAT uSdl duu luS
shops are laying in some very hand
| some things in brown satin, brown
taffeta, brown velvet, both light and
heavy, and all the other brown fabrics
cloth, serge, ladies' cloth and broad
cloth. One can do so much with
brown, and it is a color that is always
so ladylike and appropriate. 1t is
hard to go wrong, in dress matters, II
one clings 10 brown.
One of he loveliest OF brown tat
Getas is trimmed with bands of brown
| cloth put on in a great plaided design
/ around the foot of the skirt which has
no other trimming. There Is an EN-
broidered circle in the middle OF eact
uua Another brown taffeta ii
made with plated skirt and apron
waist. The apron waist is in sus
bender form and is worn owe a very
smart brown and red plaid silk shirt
waist. So one can see how these
dresses can be varied to look yer,
handsome and very appropriate Il
every occasion.
