LARGE CHARTER MEMBERSHIP

Some Notably Large Organizations.
Massachusetts Taking the Lead.
There seems to be new interest In
grange work all along the line The
number of new oranges, with large
charter memberships seems to be I'M
usual. At East Liberty o.. a grange
was organized recently. with 100 char
ter members 1t Is called the Century
grange, and its number is LOO, which
signifies that LOO oranges have been
organized in that state since the Order
was established At Shawnee. O..
grange was recently organized, with
eighty four charter members, another
at Warren. with fifty-three. and, an
other at Bridgewater. with seventy
six. 1t seems that the large member
ships are not confined to Ohio alone,
as in Oregon at Scio grange 204 names
were placed on the charter roll. This
is the banner grange for the largest
initial membership 1t speaks well for
the hustling Oregonians. There Is an
other interesting feature connected
with this grange. We are Informed
that the grange was organized by Cy-
rus H. Walker. who enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the oldest white man
born west of the Rocky mountains.
Before the ink had fairly dried on
the above paragraph we discovered
that Oregon was not entitled to the
honor of having the largest charter
membership, for a grange was organ
lied In February in Massachusetts
with 249 members, If reports are true
or, in other words, there are In this
grange at the outset enough members
for nineteen new oranges, with the
minimum legal number of thirteen.
While there are some advantages in
large charter membership, it also has
its disadvantages, and we consider the
latter to outweigh the former In a
proper adjustment of the balances.

IittIa Girl nrnmnad

Alice Choate, the three year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. CHARLES Choate, was
drowned Monday afternoon in the West
Barnet brook, which runs through their
yard. The little girl was at play in the
yard alone and was lost sight of for
about ten minutes when her mother be-
came alarmed. A searching party of
about rs was formed and found her body
caught in fence about 200 yards from
where she was traced to the bank of the
brook. She was an only child, partic-
ularly winsome little girl and everyone
around here mourns her loss.

The New Hampshire state grange in
1905 appropriated $1,000 for furnish
Ing lecturers to subordinate oranges
and in the preparation and distribution
of appropriate literature by the state
lecturer with the approval Of the ex-
ecutive committee" This lecture fund
has since been increased, and at the
last annual meeting Of this state
grange $500 was added.
The expense of the course Of three
lectures is about $50. one-half of
which is paid by the subordinate, if
able. and the balance Is furnished by
the state grange. The conditions re-
CURED of the subordinate oranges are
that they must furnish hall. do the
advertising and entertain the lecturer
The lectures must be free and open to
the public. but lectures will be pro-
vided for those oranges that desire to
charge admission and will meet the
expense About one-eighth part Of the
lectures are wholly supported by the
state grange
Ninety-fve applications have been
made by subordinate and Pomona
oranges this year. and the preliminary
arrangements have been made. The
following speakers are delivering lee

eral other lecturers have made a few

Store Broken Into.

Sunday night burglars broke into
William Morrison's office, which is con.
nected with his feed store. They gained
entrance by removing pane of glass on
the side of the building next to the rail
road track and pulling the fasteners of
the window sash. They proceeded to go
through the different departments, leis-
urely, as appearance indicated, including
MIR. Morrison's safe, which was easily
accessible, as it is always left unlocked at
night for the convenience of any stray
burglar who may happen along; but
not being wholly thoughtless of his own
welfare, Mr.. Morrison does not leave his
loose change in such tempting place
as this seems to be, as it is the second
time within a year that burglars have
entered. These gentlemen of the road
u'd not go away empty handed, how
ever, tor they found in the desk sope
postage stamps and two pieces OF
chewing tobacco, which they appro-
Priated for their own use; also two
pairs OF rubber boots, one common razor
ana one safety razor belonging to Robert
gyms, who is in the employ OF Mr..
Morrison. Undoubtedly by accident,
they left nice little souvenir OF their
VISIT in the form of well filled gents
Diack morocco leather toilet case. None
OF the articles contained in it seemed to
nave been used, and the merchants cost
ana selling marks were very plain, the
price being $1.25. This would seem to
indicate that they had visited some
store before calling on Mr. Morrison
ana that their pockets were more than
lGll, as the case was evidently lost when
'hey crawled out through the window.

Sixtyfive Ne" Oranges In February.
National Secretary Freeman reports
that in the United States sixty-five
new oranges were organized during
the month of February This is the
largest number for single month in
thirty-ive years, This is owing no
doubt to many reasons, first, perhaps,
that last December many new men
were placed in the masters chair in
the various states and by thus infus-
ing new blood into the organization
caused many new oranges to be or
ganized. But we believe that there
Is an increasing recognition of the
grange throughout the country as be-
Ing one of the chief factors Of real
helpfulness to the farmer.

.HILO'S POSTAL
BUSINESS CROWS

The business of the Hilo postofIice
is growing and the end of the current
fiscal year win undoubtedly see it's re-
ceipts up to 100000 Postmaster Geo.
Desha, who furnishes the following
comparative figures, appreciates this,
as his salary grows with the business,
and he is now receiving 500 a year
more than he used to get.
During a couple of months, Septem-
Der and December, 1907, the receipts
of the Hilo postofTice were $4'23S14.
During the same two months in 1908
they amounted to $4,84S.57 a gain of
more than $500 a month. These months
were taken at random and are a fair
average for the year,
Another point showing that Hilo is
growing can be found by watching the
names of the addresses on the adver.
| tised letters published regularly in the
Herald. A few months ago they were
all Hawaiian, Spanish and Portuguese
names, but now quite a number OF
American names can be found in the
list every week, showing that a differ
ent element is creeping into the loca'
population.-Hawaii Herald.

TATARRH of the bronchial tubes
~ often very quickly becomes catarrh
of the lungs. Catarrh of the lungs
makes the patient an easy victim to the
germs that cause tuberculosis. Sound
lungs protect themselves against dis
ease germs.
Peruna has acquired lasting repute-
ton in relieving catarrh of the throat,
bronchial tubes and lungs. This should
prevent the tubercular bacilli from gain
ing any foothold in the lungs, and saves
the patient from the inevitable result.

TWELVE CHINESE
GAMBLERS FINED

The session before Judge Andrade
was not very large or lengthy one,
but what there was of it was most as
suredly interesting.
Robert A. Roe, who has made many
and frequent calls upon His Honor on
charges Of drunkenness, got off with
three-dollar fine and promise of a so
journ on the reef upon his appearing
again. Bob said he would sure keep
away in the future-not only from the
booze but also the courthouse.
August Herring was up as an alleged
"squatter." His case in the tearing
down of fence between land that he
considered his and some one else's,
was the cause of his arrest to answer
for the wilful destruction of property.
An adjournment until the 4th proximo
was asked for by Attorney Chilling
worth, which was granted.
Charlie NTu, an old-time offender
against the laws of the city and coun-
ty, made his temperance after quite
a long absence from the judicial stage.
Charles had been arrested for assault
and battery a week ago, and since
that time has languished in the "cool-
err" Taking this into consideration,
Judge Andrade discharged him. Mus
smile at the decision was more than
| beatific.
A week ago twelve Chinese were ar
rested for being engaged in a game of
chance, to-wit: gambling. In the pre-
liminary trial, the defense raised the
question as to whether the prosecu-
ton had established the fact that the
men making the arrest were police Of
ficers. The case was continued until
this morning, when Attorney Rawlins,
for the alleged gamblers, moved for a
dismissal of the case on those same
grounds. Judge Andrade failed to see
the point, as he was convinced that
sufficient evidence had been produced
to warrant a conviction. To eleven of
the Chinese he handed out a ten-dollar
fine with costs, whilst to the ring
leader and oft-arrested Ho Tin he
awarded fifty-spot Mr.. Rawlins gave
notice-of appeal and had by noon to
arrange the bond for his clients.

THE KAHN SYSTEM
OF CONCRETING

The Honolulu Iron Works Company
have taken the agency for all the ma
terials required in the Kahn system
of reinforced concrete work, which
has come into such general use in the
big cities of the mainland and is just
now enlisting the attention of build
ers in the Hawaiian Islands. That re-
inforced concrete construction IS here
to stay is admitted at all hands, and it
is fortunate that large establishment
like the Honolulu Iron Works should
take up the important service of sup
plying the material, right here in Ho-
nolulu, that may be required.
For two weeks or more, Mr.. Ryan,
the expert brought to Honolulu for
the purpose of explaining reinforced
concrete construction, will be at the
Queen street offices of the Honolulu
Iron Works Company, and will be glad
to meet contractors or others interest
ed in the subject at his office at any
business hour. Mr.. Ryan knows his
subject from a to z, and the informa-
ton he is ready to impart is Of great
value at this time-the dawn of the
reinforced concrete age.
The Honolulu Iron Works Company
are prepared to supply all information
and material required for reinforced
concrete construction, whether the
work be in Honolulu or on the other
Islands.
