STATE GRANGE OF OREGON
Large Meeting Is Held and Many
Live Topics Discussed by
the Delegates.

A large and enthusiastic attendance
marked the recent annual session Of
the Oregon State Grange, which was
held at Corvallis for three days.
Much time was spent in discussing
live topics and the State Grange took
a strong stand on many public Ques-
tions.
Much discussion was aroused by a
proposition to turn over all money de-
rived from liquor license fees to the
support of the state penitentiary, asy.
lum and other charitable institutions.
Strong opinions were expressed on
both sides, particularly by those favor
ing the proposition, who believe the
plan logical and practical and that the
saloon money should properly be ap.
piled to supporting those conditions
for whose existence the saloon is
largely responsible. When put to a
vote the resolution was carried to so
apply the liquor license money.
Two highly important highway
measures were presented. One pro-
vides for a state highway commits.
sion, composed of state officers, who
shall choose an experienced engineer
and employ necessary help. The other
is bonding bill, as a means of rails
ing money for improved highways;
said bonds to be issued in amounts of
$25 and upwards, that they must be
offered for sale in the county in
which they are voted, and that the
money to be raised must be spent in
localities mentioned in the call for
election and be put on the ballot. II
was decided to endeavor to have both
these road bills put on the ballot for
the next general election, as initiative
bills to be promoted by the Grange.
A feature of the discussion was a
vote indorsing the employment of con.
vict labor in the road work of the
state.

GRANGE WINS BIG VICTORY
Prevents the Repeal of the Good
Saunders Milk Transportation
Law In Massachusetts.

A noteworthy Grange victory In
legislation has just been won in Mas
sachusetts against the combined in
fuence OF the great milk contractors
Of Boston and allied interests. The
Issue involved was the repeal of the
so-called Saunders milk transporta-
tion law, which Grange efforts put on
the statute books one year ago. This
law abolished the contractors leased
milk car on the railroads and provid-
ed the "open car" with equal ship
ping privileges for all milk producers
and handlers.
The great milk contractors, three of
whom had controlled the milk market
Of Boston because of their leased car
power. at once inaugurated a spirited
campaign to secure the repeal of the
law. An effort was made to get an
extra session of the legislature to re-
peal 1t, it's constitutionality was as
sailed, and when all these plans failed
the contractors and their allies set
about working up a sentiment through
out the state to block the operation OF
the law and to accomplish it's repeal
in the 1911 legislature.
When the fight came the contract
ors and railroads Joined hands to de-
feat the farmers, and several all day
hearings were held to consider the
case Of repeal. Emissaries had been
sent all over the state to work up
sentiment against the continuance Of
the Saunders law and great agita-
tion was stirred up. The prospect
looked anything but bright for keep
ing the law and milk producers shud-
dered at the prospect of going back
their old leased car system.
Then the Grange took hold Of the
fight and gave the farmers cause a
leadership that Immediately changed
the situation. The annual state Grange
had voted unanimously in favor Of re-
tanning the Saunders law, and the
whole weight of Grange influence was
thrown In favor of the law. The re-
suit was that all the power Of the
contractors and their allied interests
was overthrown by a vote of "a to IA
in the senate and of more than two to
one in the house, the Saunders law is
retained as a state law and the open
car in Massachusetts milk Transports
tion is saved for probably all time to
come.
An Illuminating happening, which
absolutely indicates the Grange posi-
tion in this fight, is the fact that one
of these same milk contractors has
just been forced by the United States
court to pay fine Of $4,000 for ac-
cepting railroad rebates in its leased
car, under the old system, which is
exactly what the Saunders law pos
itively prevents ever being possible
again.

Another attempt will be made to establish a
colony of Jews near the Holy Land. In 1903 the
late DIR. Herzel. after having failed to obtain any
satisfactory concession from the sultan of Tur-
key in respect TO Zionist effort in Palestine, ap-
preached the Egyptian government with the OBJ
ject of getting grant of land for Jewish settle
ment in El Arsch district, between Egypt and
the Holy Land the Jewish Chronicle says. The
territory between these two points includes the
Pelusum plain, which at one time was extremely
fertile and the original habitat of the Httites
tentative offer was made to the Egyptian
government of a tract Of land situated within an
isosceles triangle, one side extending from the
east of the Suez canal to Akabah, the other go
ing from west of GAIA to Akabah, the coast form
ing the base Ii was rejected
Now once again Jewish eyes have been turned
to this district. The plan offered by the General
Jewish Colonization Organization is far less am
bilious than that which animated the Zionist
leader Instead of attempting to colonize the
large territory which Herzel had in view, atten.
tion has been concentrated upon Rapha which
is situated near to GAIA

might tap in long
distance telegraph wires carrying the presidents
messages (although the code or cipher would battle
them at this point the chief magistrate has one
medium for absolutely secret communication. This
Is an exclusive telephone system that centers at
the executive Offices, and whereas its radius does
not extend beyond the limits of the national capi-
tai it is Of immense service in keeping the
uons rules in close touch with every government
official. This special system has no hello girl
and by means of it the president may, upon taking
his place in his specially constructed sound-proof
telephone booth, feel free to speak his mind to
any member of his cabinet any hi&h official
of the army or navy in absolute surety that no
third person has had inkling of what he has
said. Similarly the president command at
any time exclusive line 20 the capitol building
at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue and can
hold a confidential confab with any senator or
representative without anybody being the wiser
as TO what has passed between them.
Uncle Sans secret methods of communication
have been improved within the past few years
through the introduction of several important new
Inventions One of these is the dctograph which
has been hailed as the successor of the telephone
and which consists of master station in the
private office of official and a sub-station in
stalled in a separate room. The advantage of this
invention is found in the fact that the dictograph
will transmit all conversation spoken in an ordi-
nary tone in the room in which the instrument Is
located instead OF IT being necessary for the best
results to srSeak directly into transmitter as in
the case of the telephone. Furthermore the re-
ceiving terminal is ordinarylookng little box,
which as 1t stands on desk would never arouse
a visitors suspicious to its character. These
qualifications give a hint as to the manner in
which 1t has proven valuable to certain govern
ment officials. for instance the officials of the
secret service. A criminal supposedly talking in
private may find that not only has his confession
been overheard but that IL has been taken down
word for word by a stenographer seated at her
desk in a room some distance away.
Another ingenious newcomer among the secret
misslve bearers is the invention known as the
Charlevoix county herald., 1911-07-29

invention. wireless telephony, have proven one
of the greatest boons Of the age, but, from the
standpoint of public officials, and particularly
our army and navy officers, their value Will be
tremendously enhanced if way can be found to
transmit messages with surety that they will
reach nobody save the individual for whom they
are intended. Under present conditions many
military and naval wireless messages are picked
up" by private operators and of course this would
not do at all in time of war. 1t is believed, how
ever, that solution will be provided when there
is completed the trio of monster wireless towers,
450 feet in height soon to be constructed by the
navy department at Washington, d. c. The
equipment at the station will be capable Of
transmitting wireless messages distance Of
5000 miles more and it is believed that il will
be so powerful that it will be readily practicable
TO send and receive messages that cannot be
filched by any wireless station of less capacity.

Is supposed to maintain in the United States for
the purpose Of keeping tab on the governments
moves and Of those even more active volunteer
spies who though not in the pay of any foreign
government are always shopping around trying
to find out something that will be of value to the
foreign country TO which they are attached by

a watch must be kept. Even more dangerous,
in way, are the agents Of spectators and Wall
street gamblers who are constantly seeking adj
vance information as to court decisions and gov
ernment reports, etc Our readers may romem.
Der that a few years ago there was a big scandal
when it was discovered that spectators on the
cotton and grain market had corrupted a govern
nent official who allowed them to secure advance
tips as TO the government crop reports that
have, whenever they are issued, important
influence upon prices in all the produce exchanges
and cotton exchanges in the land. Similarly there
were camped in Washington during the past win
ter a number of scouts for the spectators any
one of whom would probably have paid many thou
sands Of dollars for advance information as to
the findings of the United States Supreme court
in the cases Of the tobacco combine and other
trusts.
But after all, the gravest responsibilities that
are imposed upon Uncle Sans secret methods of
communication come in connection with inter
national complications of any kind-especiay in
the event of crisis that threatens war. One of
the best illustrations OF record of how close
uouthed Uncle Sam can be on occasion was given
when a large portion Of the regular army
modified the Mexican frontier. That move
ment required much planning and preparation
the part Of the president and the high officials of
the army and navy and yet quietly did the
preparations go forward that one-third of
standing army was hurrying to the Rio Grande

a very effective system for secret communication.
The president has his special telegraph and
telephone operators stationed at the executive
Offices but for long distance work they must be
dependent upon the regular commercial lines,
and for all that direct line to anywhere be
set aside for the exclusive use of the White house
almost at a moments notice; there is, of course,
some danger that outsiders somewhere along the
line might overhear the messages that are clicked
over 1t. To get around this difficulty the White
house telegraphers send most OF the highly
fdential messages in secret code or cipher
