ton she tenders her own race should
make each and every one of us proud

Washington Grange Progress
sive Body.
SiStance.

Washington grangers, or at least a
large majority of them, are greatly
pleased at the outcome Of the trial of
State aster Kegley. At the meet
ing of the National Grange at Colum-
blu, 8 Ohio, last week, charges were
preferred against Mr.. Kegley by Sam
Hill, of this state. Mr.. Hill took
numerous witnesses with him to
Columbus to substantiate his charges.
At the beginning of the session it was
recommended that the charges be not
heard. To this Mr.. Kegley strenuous
ly objected; he demanded that the
charges be read and heard on their
merits. After considerable wrangl-
ing on this subject for several hours
it was voted unanimously to exoner-
ate Mr.. Kegiey. This is great
victory for the master of the state
grange.
The meeting held last week was the
first one the insurgent grangers have
been able to control Three years
ago they were in such minority
that they we're the laughing stock of
the old guard. They have grown
stronger each year until this year the
old stand pat regime was out voted
three to one. 1t is a great victory to
not only the men who have led the
fight but to the great body of grangers
themselves.
The old grangers had gotten into
the hands of politicians and stand
patters who refused to go forward
with the political movement Of the
day. They were entirely out voted at
the last meeting and such progressive
ideas as the initiative, referendum
and the recall of judges we're passed
practically unanimously.

OF normal, Washington, Oregon and
Idaho averaged about 102 per cent.
This has also been noted as quiet
times year. Business has been con-
siderable below the normal and in
this matter the Pacific Northwest has
not escaped. In spite, however, of
the talk of the pessimist there are
many indications of better things.
The great lumber industry in which
Washington leads all of the states OF
the union had quiet year. While
there are no prospects of great changes
there are prospects that the worst Is
over and that orders will now be more
freely placed. So little lumber has
been shipped into the great interior
that stocks have been depleted ano
must be renewed. The railroads we're
among the chief sufferers of the hard
times, consequently they have bought
nothing they could absolutely 90
without. However, they are now
placing orders in limited way.
While all lines of business has suffer
ed, farmers have suffered the least OF
any. Prices are high and there Is
little prospect of them being lower.
In fact, everything points to higher
price in nearly all lines. Taking 1t
all in all the Pacific Northwest farmer
should be the most thankful OF any
in any section of the country.

The Ranch is in receipt OF the an
nual statement of the Northern Pacific
Railway Company through the
courtesy of President Elliott. The
statement of the years work ending
June 3Oth, 1911, shows that hard times
has struck the railroads as hard as 1t
has any business of the country. This
road shows a falling off in freight
receipts of s., 425, 818. OF, and falling
off in the passenger income Of S4, 54l, :
500. 80, showing a total decrease In
revenues from the years revenues OF
SO, 695, 173. ID. The total revenues Tor
the year amounted to S64, O6S, 692. 10.
This shows practically 15 per cent
reduction in the receipts for the year.
By close management it was, however,
enabled to reduce the operating eX-
penses Sc, 257, 644.82 This shows net
loss to the railroad of SIS, 438. 327. Miles
run per day shows a decrease OF 10. OF
precent. Mail revenue show de-
crease of 1924 per cent. The cause
of this reduction was clearly case
of less business being done in the
country. The Dakota wheat crops
we're not up to the average and there
was big loss in the carrying OF lum-
Der.

To Our Subscribers.

This is the season of the year when
orr subscribers should look at the
wrapper on their paper and see II they
are behind with their subscriptions.
The Ranch has added more subscribers
during the past two months than ever
added before in the same length OF
time in it's history amounting to more
than 1000. However much we are
nIeased to receive these new sub
scribers we are much more pleased to
receive a renewal OF our old SUD-
scribers. The Ranch has been under
it's present management two years,
and while it has not been very profit
able from financial point OF view It's
editor and proprietor is more than
satisfied with the two years work.
When we bought The Ranch it was IN
bad repute. The business manage
ment of the previous owners had
been such as to make ten enemies to
one friend. This was serious handl-
CAP: how serious no one but the
editor knows. Some OF the largest
advertisers in the state had been so
deceived in their relations with the
proprietor that they would not allow
a repr sentative of The Ranch to enter
their office and some of them still
hold this animosity, absurd as 1t
seems to sensible men.
Tn addition to this bad state of
affairs we have proof sufficient that
money was paid to boost measures
that we're detrimental to the farmers
interest. This i'll time became
evident to the subscribers and lost
their support These matters really
resulted in receivership being ap-
nointed for the publication. Before
the receiver had time to do anything
TO retrieve the reputation of the paper
the present editor purchased it. With
these handicaps came along the hard
times series of years from which we
still suffer. Altogether they have
made it a difficult proposition. How
aver. the present year has shown us
that the work we are doing is again
winning it's way. Practically all OF
the old subscribers are renewing and
itis much easier to get advertising as
we'll as new subscribers.

understand. We are starting the new
