art design forms an integral part, and to
make suggestions and recommendations
for the conservation OF all historical
monuments.
| President Roosevelt cordially invites
the cooperation of the architects. lie

net to refer to the proposed council all
matters in their charge embracing
architecture, selection of sites and land
scape work, sculpture and paintings.

MOST ORANGES IN WASHINGTON
More Than Forty Societies Organized
Past Year.

More Than Forty Societies Organized
Past Year.
G. B. Kegley, master of the state
grange, is authority for the statement
that during the fiscal year ending Oc-
tober l, the state of Washington has
led the entire United States in the
growth of the order. During that PEI
riod 40 local societies were estab-
lished in the state, with membership
increase of over 1000.
The advantages gained by the oper-
alton Of the grange are. the benefits
derived from cooperative work and the
general uplifting Of rural life, from
educational, social and political stand
points. While speaking of politics, it
is generally understood that the grange
does not adhere to any particular party,
nor does it enter the political field any
further than to support such measures
as will advance the general welfare Of
the common people.
In state politics the grange strongly
Endorses direct legislation, uniform
public accounting and the revision Of
state laws bearing on the tax levy,
while it believes in active measures
being taken to suppress race track
gambling.
In national affairs, the grange is q
strong believer in the postal savings
bank, tariff revision and government
aid in road building and repairs.

BUILD COAST ELEVATORS.
Farmers Union Of Columbia and
Walla Walla Counties on Record
Favoring the Plan.

Dayton, Wash.-Of interest to every
farmer in the Inland Empire are the
plans discussed at the annual conven-
ticn of the Farmers union Of Column
bia and Walla Walla counties, iuvolv-
ing the building and operation Of ter
minal warehouses at either Seattle or
Portland. Although the farmers union
operates 80 interior warehouses in the
state and has planned to build 100
more before next fall, the farmers have
no facilities for handling the grain
crop at tidewater markets. With such
condition the profits to the grain
dealers are enormous.
1t is proposed to have storage houses
at one or more of the Coast cities to
handle the grain when it is shipped
from the inland houses. Definite &C
ton will be taken on the question al
the massmeeting of the farmers unions
of the state at Spokane February {
and 8.
Resolutions were adopted and will b,
sent to the legislature relative to tn,
sack question. The farmers union Of
Columbia county reduced the price OF
sacks last season from 0 to cents ani
saved the farmers Of this district thou
sands of dollars. The farmers are de
manding further reduction.
The handling Of grain in bulk wal
looked ON with disfavor. It was tn,
general opinion that the system would
not be profitable to the farmers.

REFUSES TO
PUSH AUTO

rather interesting story is being
told on two gentlemen of this city
who belong to the legal profession.
The two went to Minco to attend
the ball game Wednesday, going in the
automobile belonging to one of the
gentlemen When only a portion of
the distance had been covered, so 1t
is related the auto stuck in the deep
sand and it required some pushing to
move it out The owner of the auto,
finding pushing hard, as it was very
warm, courteously, and with reluct-
ance. asked the other, who was his
invited guest as pertained to the ride,
to get out and lend some assistance;
but the portly gentleman. for such
he was, sat still, in fact he, as be-
comes one trained in the law and used
to expostulating with vehemence at
the bar, avowed that he had not con-
tracted to push or pull, that he had
accepted the invitation with the pre-
sumption that he was to ride and
not propel the vehicle, that he would
sit where he was and melt away be-
fore he would make horse Of him
self.
1t was then 92 in the shade, the
suns rays glistened on the burning
sands, for they were in the very midst
of great stretch OF sand.
Finally, as II making last fitful
effort to extricate itself from the per-
ilous spot the sparker began to snap
and jerk and show new signs Of life
and soon the auto moved out
Little was said as thereafter the
machine sped along concerning the in
cident, but the owner Of the machine
was evolving plan to even up-and
he did, for after the game was over
he quietly stole away. mounted his
auto and turned her loose, returning
by himself. while his companion, so it
is said, on the up trip returned home
later on the train paying his own
fare.
