. at the annual election here today
\ There was a keen interest Throughout
the election, with several candidates
for the principal positions. H. Hirsch
berg, of Independence, was chosen as
treasurer. Mary S. Howard, of Mu
; limo, was reelected secretary. The
/. other officers are: Lecturer, Mrs. E
A. Burd; overseer, j. Huffman, New
Era; steward, M. p. Young, Clats-
kanie; assistant steward, Charles
Hayes; chaplain, Cyrus H. Walker

sephine county.
e. E. Blanchard was called upon to
discuss the new tax law. On this Mr..
Blanchard said:
"Suppose that A, B and C repre-
sent the three methods of payment
and that each was based upon $100.
On this basis A saves per cent re-
bate, or SO. c, not being able to
pay anything, loses IL per cent in
terest on 800 for six months, or &c.
Had B been paying the same interest
as C he, too, would have paid out So,
but not being called to do so, B
saved So. 1t will thus be seen that
A. gives So, B gains SO, and c lost
So. 1t is evident, then, that it re-
quires C's loss to balance AS and
B's gains. "To him that hath shall
be given, but to him that hath not
shall be taken away that which he
hath
The Grange went on record as op-
posed to any bonding issue for roads,
declaring money for all road-building
purposes should be paid at the time
of the building. Federal, state and
county aid was avored-Federal aid
to the state, state aid to the county
and county aid to the district.
Semi-annual payment of taxes was
favored, with a rebate except on de-
linquencies. A constitutional amend
ment for county commission govern
ment was favored.
Abolition of all fish and game laws
was emphatically recommended and a
desire expressed that all hatchelies be
discontinued. Abolishing all useless
boards and commissions was recon-
mended.

1T Is CONTAGIOUS.

According to statistics which have
been gathered by the American High
way association, the present year will
be a record breaker in the matter of
good roads work in this country. In
twenty-eight states provision has al
ready been made for spending this
season the enormous total of $6l,-
100000 on public highway improve
ments, which is pretty good proof
that all the good road agitation dur
ing recent years has not been in vain.
And one of the surprising features
of the situation is the fact that while
eastern states will invest heavily in
road work this year, some of the
middle states will actually lead them
in this movement Of course 1t is
true that as a rule the western states
are behind in this line Of improve
ment, but the generous appropriations
now being made indicate their inten-
ton to catch up with the older settled
sections of the country, and to do so
as soon as possible.
A good many people have the idea
that New York leads in highway ap-
preparations but as a matter of fact
so far as this year is concerned it
leads all with an appropriation of
$7,310,000, while New York will spend
this year only $6,0O0,OO0. Minnesota
ranks third with $5,672,000. And al
though some people seem to think
that Oregon has very suddenly grown
reckless and extravagant in its high
way expenditures, it occupies very
modest place in this years list and
is led by several other states not
so rich, populous and progressive as
our own.
The south, of course, has fewer
modem highways than any other part
of the country, yet the people below
the Mason and Dixon line evidently
are waking up. In counties in south
ern states where the roads have been
put in firSt-class condition property |
has increased in value to remark
able degree and the farmers have be-
come more prosperous through being
able to get their produce to the big
markets readily. In these counties
no longer does fruit rot on the |
ground and no longer are vegetables
fed to hogs or cows because it takes
too much time and trouble to haul
them to market over almost impass-
able roads. This has opened the
ewes of the southerners. North Car
olina, a state that is considered far
from rich, will spend this year no
less than S5,OOO,OOO on good roads,
while little Maryland will spend
50, 100000.
The time is coming when this
country will be as celebrated for its
ine highways as is France. Thous-
lnds of miles of good roads will be
,uilt in the United States within the
lext twelve months, and the money

LAWS GOVERNING SUB
SCRIPTIONS.

+ Most readers of newspapers
+ are not familiar with the
+ laws governing subscriptions.
+ Here are the decisions of the
+ United States Court on the
+ subject.
+ Subscribers who do not
+ give express notice to the con-
+ trary are considered as wish
+ ing to renew their subscrip-
+ tions.
+ eff the subscribers order a
+ discontinuance of their publi-
+ cation the publisher may con-

T. dues are paid
I. eff the subscriber refuses

+ eff subscribers move to

+ address, the subscriber is held
+ responsible.
+ "The courts have held that
; refusing to take periodicals
from the postoffice or remov-

of intention to defraud.
"If subscribers pay in ad-

THE ROBIN.

The ROblN.
When first the willow catkins
And water elms put on veil
OF golden glory and the flow
OF maple sap in trough or pail
With merry drip and tinkle
makes
The pulses leap. the fancies
throng.
Then robin comes at dawn and
wakes
And gladdens all the world with
song.
High on the cherry tree he =
tunes
His voice to many a winsome
lay,
Or in the long, sweet afternoons
Till sunset sings his soul
away.
Best bird and wise, no idle
praise
Nor foolish blame disturbs his
rest;
Content he weaves divinest lays
Or tolls at humble loves be-
hest.
We crown him laureate of our
woods.
We welcome his returning
wings.
And dream of joys beatitudes
Whene'er the vernal robin
sings.

presence in this port of the White
Star liner Adriatic, which arrived
from Liverpool on Saturday with four
guns mounted on it's deck. The am
bassador wondered if the Adriatic
would be compelled to sail within
tWenty-four hours under the law
which requires an armored vessel Of
a belligerent nation to remain in mort
no longer than that length of time.
The Adriatic is not preparing to sail
before Thursday and officials Of the

they had received no word from the
authorities objecting to the liner. re.
naming in port until that day. They
explained that the guns were only to
be used in emergency.

that the European war is to be pro-
longed one was reflected again in the
wheat market at opening. Specu-

bid the price up to $1.231z, or AZ
cents higher than the previous days
close and only IL cents under the
highest price Of the crop registered

In the scramble at the opening bids
were 21a cents apart, but in the next
five minutes the price was inclined to
settle between $1.21 and $1.22.
