Small boats are also available for
shore work and for fishing.
"Among the other advantages pre-
sented by the station is the opportun-
ity of studying the salmon fishery and
shrimping industry. The southern
end of San Juan island is center
for extensive trap-fishing and gill-net-
ting, while in the channels between
the islards extensive beds of shrimp
are trawled over by several small
steamers engaged in this industry.
The fee for the six weeks is S13 90.
which includes both instructional
and laboratory charges. Board may
be secured in the cooperative club
at about $3. SO per week. Accom-
modations may be had at the hotels
in the village or in private homes.

Won't Marry the Unfit.

Rev. Herbert S. Johnson Of
the Warren Avenue Baptist
Church Of Boston, Mass. (who

son of the late John w. johnson,
president of the University Of
Oregon), has announced public
ly that he will refuse henceforth
to marry persons afflicted with
consumption or with any hered-
itary or communicable disease
if he has personal knowledge of
the facts, and that he will not
marry divorced persons, except
the innocent party. He is also
opposed to marrying persons in
poor circumstances, believing
that a man should be able to
earn at least s15 a week before
undertaking the responsibility
of a family. -.

Prof. Charles Johnson of OAC,
E. B. Horning and other Cor
wallis people, and is quite we'll

THE GRANGE
Conducted by
]. v. DARRow. Chatham. n. r..
Press Correspondent Nes1 York State
Grange
THE GRANGE AND LABOR.

Proposition Made by Labor to Massa-
chusetts State Grange.
A few weeks ago 1t was made known
by press dispatches that an official
overture had been made to the Massa-
chusetts state grange by organized la
Dor for a combination Of interests.
Concerning it the Springfield Republic
an says:
''This proposition is based upon the
assertion that the labor men are Ill
treated, that the farmers are .presum-
ably SO and that it would be for their
mutual interests to combine. OF course
such combination would be effective
principally in the legislature. What is
the practical proposition, therefore, Is.
a log roll Of labor and agricultural in
terests, with the idea that the two ele-
ments would be able to secure the leg
islation desired by each wing. Very
likely, II such a combination were to
be formed, 1t would come very near
dominating the legislature, and the
politicians outside would have to make
terms with them
"But, as competent observer Of the
oAtu0tAOA cnySs tAS 06A4S HAS0AnA E4SAAS4S
is habitually conservative. The labor
element is radical. It is question
whether any such combination would
be entered into by the farmers. In the
first place, the farmers are not trained
to combination. They are born indie
pendent and they live independently.
SO much SO that combination among
themselves is difficult. They general
" propose in the legislature to act in
dividually about as they think right,
and they are not accustomed to COM,
bination unless they believe it is right.
On the face Of it there is no more rea-
son why the farmers should combine
with, the labor men than with the man
ufacturers except upon the assumption
that they are equally downtrodden and
oppressed classes, and that is not in
Massachusetts a sufficient basis for
such a combination" "

TRAINS ON NORTH BANK.
Starts From Portland and
Fuller Service Nov. %.

Announcement was made
Friday by the officials of the
new North Bank road that tick
cts over the new line between
Portland and Pasco, as we'll as
that portion Of a transcontinental
journey, will be placed on sale

A SURE FOUNDATION.
II 10 the Secret of Unfailing Success
In Grange Effort.

II 10 the Secret of UnfaiIins Success
In Grange Effort.
One of the most efficient forces for
the betterment of the farmers condi-
tion today is the Order Of Patrons Of
Husbandry, commonly known as the
grange. No other farmers organiza-
ton compares with it in actual accom-.
plishment; none claims superiority in
aims and purposes. The founders of
the Order forty years ago issued a
declaration Of purposes" which is the
chief cornerstone on which the great
grange superstructure has been erect
ed. They declare the purpose Of this
organization of the farmers to be ito
develop a higher and better manhood
and womanhood among ourselves; to
enhance the comforts and attractions
of our homes and strengthen our at.
tachments to our pursuits. We pro
pose meeting together, buying togeth-
er, selling together and in general act
ing together for our mutual protection
and advancement" From these de-
clared purposes the grange has never
swerved, and today where an active
grange exists there is estab ablished a po-
tent agency for the moral social and
educational uplift Of the community.

"The Holy City" next Thursday.

"The Holy City," that wonder
fully successful Biblical drama,
seems destined to take a place
among the classics of the Ameri-
can stage. Each year that it is
presented it is witnessed by
audiences of increasing size. Its
popularity does not seem to give
indication of waning and eager
demands are made for return
engagements. One of the rea-
sons for its tremendous popular
ity is that it is a play which
makes a universal appeal, not
only to the regular theatre goer,
but to that element in every
community which is inclined to
look askance at the theatre and
which rarely attends a theatrical
performance. The power to give
to the world of art something
New and Sublime is the Birth
Right of Genius-the true test
of royal blood that marks a
King of thought. Such is the
influence of "The Holy City"
The play is staged with great
magnifcence, the costuming is
rich and a delight to the eye.
The company presenting the
play is capable and efficient.
"The Holy City" will be given
at the opera house next Thurs
day, November 19. Seats now.
