GRANGE INSURANCE
Is SUCCESSFUL

In reporting the Pomona Grange
meeting the press committee says:
J. II. M0hr gave some very interest
ing figures on the several cars of feed
that Pine Grove grange has handled
during the past season. He tells US
that they have handled about seven
carloads. thereby saving members at
least 81 to $5 on every ton handled.
Said he, when one figures that nearly
200 tons have passed through our hands
at this saving, ii is no small item and
to tell the truth about 1t, cannot un-
derstand just why every farmer is not
granger.
A. |. Mason, our local fire insurance
agent, also made an interesting talk on
the benefits of a reul true cooperative
insurance company as compared with
the old line companies. Said he, "The
Oregon state grange has the cheapest
and just as reliable, insurance of any
company in the state" He informs
us that the grange insurance in Pine
Grove is one of their drawing cards for
membership and he thinks that when
the people fully realize that the grange
insurance amounts to nearly $2, 900, 600
in Oregon today and that it is one of
the most reliable, that every farmer
will want TO carry grange insurance.
We are under many obligations to
our state Organizer, Sister Vail, for
the good work she has done here.
After supper was over and two hours
of visiting had passed all went home
with pleasant recollectlons of Hood
Rivers first Pomona grange.
Just before leaving the hall tumult
of yells were INDUCED in and here is
the best one of all. Ii is our grange
yell.

WASCO COURT AIDS
MOSIER DOCK ROAD

Through the efforts of the Mosier
grange the county court at its session
at The Dalles last week appropriated
the sum of $500 to be used for the
building of the road to the boat land
ing at Mosier, according to the Bulle-
tin of that city.
The grange. at recent meeting,
adopted resolutions asking the court
for $500 to be used for this purpose,
and on Wednesday last committee
composed of G. ]. Littlepage, Thos.
Gordon, G. W. Powers and X. w.
Simpson went to The Dalles and pre-
sented the petition TO the court. Wheth-
er the arguments put up by the com
mittee were unanswerable and convinc-
ing, or whether the court realized the
necessity of such road and had previ-
ously determined to grant the request,
is of no particular Importance; the i'm
por tant fact is that the court very gen
erously appropriated the amount asked
for, and Mosier district hereby tenders
its sincere thanks.

CIRCUIT COURT
LASTS TWO DAYS

After a two days session circuit
court was adjourned Tuesday after
noon by Judge w. l.. Bradshaw. who
after the business had been finished
called conference of attorneys, pro-
posing to decrease the annual number
of sessions from four to three, two
terms for jury case and one for the ar
gument of motions and other cases not
requiring a jury. He told the attor-
neys that hereafter all cases would be
heard in open court. and that no cases
would be referred in the future.
Monday afternoon the case of Mich
OILS vs.. the city of Hood River was
heard by a jury. The case involved
the valuation of lot owned by Mr..
Nichols at the corner of Ninth street
and Sherman avenue. The city pro-
posed to use a portion of the lot for
widening Sherman avenue. Appraisers
were appointed on three different oc-
casons. The valuation accepted was
$475. The case was appealed to the
circuit court from their decision. The
Jury returned a verdict allowing the
plaintiff a damage of $3.50. James II.
HazIett represented Mr.. Nichols, while
Geo. r. Wilbur conducted the case for
the city.
The grand jury finishd its labors
Tuesday afternoon, making the follow
ing report:
We, the grand jury, duly empanneled
and sworn for the January term, 1915,
of this court, having completed our in
vestigations and performed the duties
required of us, herewith present this,
our final report.
We have utilized the limited time at
our disposal to make examination of
the county's records, clerks office,
sheriff's office and office of the county
treasurer. and report that we find the
records in these Offices kept neatly
and affairs of the county according to
such showing quite satisfactory. We
have also had Judge Stanton with us,
who has given US detailed report of
the handling of the county poor and
management of county property, and
we believe these matters have been
handled in very satisfactory and bus
| inesslke way and to the best interests
of the taxpayers.
We have examined those matters
which have been presented to us by
the district attorney and such other
matters as originated during our sit
ing, and are glad to report that in the
main the citizenship of Hood River
county is peaceable and law abiding.
We have found to return but one
true bill, although we have investi.
gated several matters which have
heretofore been reported to this court.
We trust that the affairs of the county
will progress satisfactorily for the
netx quarter, as they having the past
Having completed our labors anC

speetfully ask that we may be dis

paign and have called attention to it.
Daily metropolitan newspapers have
commented approvingly of it and

completion of the scenic thoroughfare.
The Portland men are interested in
the proposed bill to be submitted TO the
legislature at the coming session. and
providing a tax levy of mill year
for two years for the purpose of con-
structing permanent state highways.
A petition for the bill has been cireu-
lated in Portland. more than half of
the heavy tax payers having signed il.
However, the bin states that all mon
eys collected shall be expended on state
highways outside the limits of Multn0-
nah county.
The bill met with almost universal
favor at The Dslles, strong sentiment
in its favor prevails here. With such
an expression from their constituents,
the legislative representatives from the
two counties will undoubtedly urge the
passage of the mill tax bill.

unfnised business will be taken care
of, the county court failed to act on
the petitions of members of the Com
mercial club and other citizens relative
to an increase of the San Francisco

pass up Neal creek for the use Of East
Side people. Frank P. Friday has been.
