National Grange action on highways and reform
The National Grange urged a balance of federal, state, and local funding for roads with a pay-as-you-go policy and warned against top heavy bureaucratic control. It backed road standards, local control, and farm-focused improvements, while opposing bond schemes and proportional representation in the national body. The group also addressed postal service changes, tax uniformity, home economics funding, natural resources, and anti corruption measures.

Fifty years ago promotions in the Second Connecticut Battery moved Captain Walter S. Hotchkiss up from First Lieutenant and Second Lieutenant Frank H. Whiting to First Lieutenant while John H. Sterling was discharged. The officers were all from our city. A fire alarm at night revealed a barn owned by Charles J.

Invasion Plans of Napoleon Foiled by British Sea Power
Official records note Britain’s sea control thwarted Napoleon’s 18th century invasion plan aimed at Boulogne and the coast between Dover and Hastings. Despite vast preparations and a fleet built to cross the Channel, Nelson’s Trafalgar victory ended the threat. Also, Oregon abolished capital punishment by a 167 vote margin. London signs warn of unemployment.
