At last we have the best light that
there is known, within the reach or
anv one. | am speaking of the alco-
hoi light. that has been made possible
bv the denatured alcohol bill that was
passed by Congress two years ago.
It has long been known that the
Standard Oil Co. had our fuel oil in
its own hands, and that they could
levy as large a price on us as they
wanted, or that the people could be
induced to pay, and some of our best
thinkers decided to see what could be
done to overcome this state of affairs,
and in looking around for something
that would do for their purpose found
that alcohol was the best thing that
was at their disposal, and so they went
to work to get Congress to pass law
that would allow alcohol to be manu-
featured and sold for fuel and mechan-
ical purposes without paying the IN
ternal revenue tax that had been levied
on it for a good many years, and so
bring it within the reach of the masses
of people as fuel
The Grange took a leading part In
this struggle, and fierce struggle IL
was. The Standard Oil Co. saw that
it would be next to an impossibility
for them to gain control OF this fuel,
unless they could get the law passed
so as to compel it to be made in large
distilleries, and this the Grange and
their co-workers fought to finish.
Finally, after one of the hardest
fights that Congress has ever known,
when the members were flooded by
letters calling on them to vote for the
passage of the bill, we gained the vic
tory and the bill became law, and
we now have the right to start a dis
tillery of any capacity and make our
own fuel from the waste products OF
the farm, and so free us from the
Standard Oil Co. and at the same time
give us a far better light than we
have ever been used to from the other
means of obtaining light for our
homes.
Washington has taken the lead in
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-09-15

utilizing this new fuel for the lighting
of our Grange Halls, and the alcohol
lamp is being installed into many
homes for reading light, even where
they have electricity in the house, for
the alcohol light is a much brighter
light and does not cost but very
little more.
When we can get distilleries in this
part of the country we will be able to
get alcohol at price that will make
it a cheaper fuel than either kerosene
or gasoline at the present prices, but
if alcohol comes down in price we
must expect that the Standard Oil Co.
will also bring the price of their pro-
ducts down to correspond, and so we
will be benefiting those who do not
take advantage of the new fuel by
using it as fuel.
Of course, those who act as pioneers
in this crusade will be obliged to pay
a higher price for their light than
those who follow, but the faster we
adopt it the sooner we will be able to
induce distilleries to be put in this
part of the country, for they Will not
be put in as a business venture until
there is demand for the product, and
there will not be demand for the al
cohol until there are sufficient OF the
lamps and flatirons, as we'll as stoves,
etc. to use up a good part OF the
product as soon as it is manufactured.
So we urge you to study into the
question and see if you do not want
to take advantage of this advance
movement, and get one OF the best
lights that there is at low cost.
Entire lamps can be got for IS laid
down at your express office or you
can get a burner to attach to your old
kerosene lamp, but the lamp should
have a filling opening aside from the
burner, as the mantle that is used is
fiimsy affair and will not stand very

for it's use during the year. Concern
ing this effort the Oregon Journal
says:
It is of significance that the Grange
of Oregon is working out new plan
that is to be educative in character.
The uplift of country life, and the en-
deavor to make it more attractive is
worthy cause. The drift of population
to the cities is not without it's reason.
All the movements of life have some
thing back of them that gives them
motion and direction. The belief OF
the country boy and country girl that
opportunities lie most in city life have
something, fancied or real, for
groundwork.
The American boy and girl who seek
to do things have a fancy that the big
things to be done in the world are not
in the field, the forest or by the
stream. The glamour of the distant
city, and the hum of seething industry
beckon and will continue to beckon to
the enthusiasm of youth, unless
counter inspiration can be set up in
the country, with promise that
things worth the while of ambitious
youngsters are within reach in the
rural communities. The accomplish
ment of purpose, and the inception OF
achievement must have a foundation
of training and inspiration.
The plan evolved by the Grange OF
Oregon is a school in which the popu-
lar and practical questions of the day
pertaining directly to the farm and
the home are to be studied in the
Oranges every month throughout the
year. Programs prepared by the state
lecturer with the assistance OF Presi-
dent Kerr and DR.. WithycOmbe of the
Agricultural College, State Superin-
tendent Alderman and the state libra
rian are to be the educative agency,
and are destined to be of great utili-
tartan value. This movement, and
every other promotive of interest in
country life is constructive work for
the glory of the nation.

PICNIC PICKINGS.

Thurston County Changers had a
splendid time at Priest Point Park
near Olympia, when they held their
annual picnic at that place on Satur-
day, Sept. 5.
They were disappointed in procur-
ing speakers from abroad, but the day
was we'll filled by home talent, when
Brother G.. E. Marvin of Chambers
Prairie Grange; Sister B. B. Lord, OF
Sinclairville, N. Y, and Hon. I. F..
Mentzer made interesting addresses,
and Gurnsey Chaplin and William
ONeill recited very we'll indeed.
Pleasant Glade Grange furnished sew
eral numbers of vocal music, and Alert
Grange furnished some instrumental
music which was we'll received.
Altoge Their the day was one to be
long remembered by those present,
and we hope to follow it each year by
others of like interest.
Thurston County has several strong
Oranges, and the Pomona is under
taking to assist the patrons to pur-
chase supplies at wholesale at lower
rate than the local dealers will fur
nish them. The patrons have organ
lied Patrons Exchange as business
adjunct, and hope to be able to save
our members money in many ways.
We are not as thoroughly organized
as we hope to be within year, but
we have shown a power that will be
felt in legislative ways, as we have
pledged several of the candidates to
our measures, and hope to be able to
gain something in a legislative way in
the coming winter.

winter FRED w. LEWIS.

Drawing Of Jurors.
Important Ruling of Supreme
Court in Case of Frank
Deals sSlaycr - Mills to
Serve Life Sentence.

Columbia State: The supreme
court yesterday dismissed the ap.
peal of w. II. Mills, who was
sentenced to life imprisonment
for the killing of Frank Deal in
Cherokee county in March 1906.
The case will be remembered as
one of the most sensational in
the upper part of the State, the
defense being that Deal was in
innate with Mills wife, which
led to the killing.
The jury returned verdict of
guilty with recommendation to
mercy and the appeal was taken
on the charge of the judge and
on the rather unusual ground
that the jury commission com.
posed of the clerk of court, audi
tor and treasurer, had in drawing
the grand and petit jurors, dis.
cussed the character of each name
presented, whether he was good
citizen and his qualifications for
jury duty. The auditor of Cher
okee county was placed upon the
stand and testified that the com.
mission discussed each name
drawn, whether the proposed
juror was good citizen, wheth-
er or not illiterate, whether
drunkard or not and whether
"rowdy" or peaceable man.
The attorneys for the defense
argued before Judge Purdy tn at
this was in violation of the sta.
tutes, but this contention was
overruled and the case went on
trial. On conviction the same
argument was made before the
supreme court. That body held
no wever, that the action of the
jury commission and of the au.
ditor was simply the honest eff
fort of faithful officer to carry
out the law. The act of 1902
In prescribing jury duty, pages
