The program of tbe seivicea waa as loriows: uoiiptare lesson by Chap lain Eaton of tbe etate grange. Song, "Nearer My Uod to Tbee," led by members of tbe Pine Grove eranee. Chaplain Eaton tben made some re marks relative to tbe death of tbe six members of tbe state grange who bad died dnrlna tbe Tear, which was fol lowed by the following address deliv ered by A. T. Buxton, worthy master oi toe state grange : - In obedience to time honored cus tom, we are assembled today to pay tribute to tbe memory of those who have snared our labors, oar trials, ftnl i iaaartrtrti nr man r-at Ana. vu u isa irvsu i uiva Ms via w a v avis J W and our pleasures, and who have, dur ing tbe last year, been called from their assooation with us in these la bors here, to their reward in the Great Grange above. ' It Is given to man, at best, to enjoy but brief glimpse of lisbt in this mortal life. Tbe few years which are, undei- the most favorable oiroumstan oes, accorded to us here are but a span. Tbe mystio curtain of one great eternity ot the unknown, but yesterday closed behind no as the light ot our momentary awakening dawned. A shroud, which, till tbe last, will not be lifted, obscures an other eternity of the unknown and toward that goal we all are hastening. It la well tbat opon occasions we should pause and endeavor to read from the lives and experiences of those who have been called on, some thing of value to guide and help as on oar journey. Daring tbe past year Hoo. K. P. Oregon Btate Grange, Bister Eliza wiiiina, ot Marlon county, Bister Mary P. Walker, cf Linn county, Brother Plympton Kelly, of Multno mah connty, Brother Allen MoCon oell, ot Gilliam county, and Bister Lantba Kruae. of Claokamas oounty, all of I hem one time honored mem bers of this state grange, have been called from labor to reward. We mourn tbe loss of those tbat are gone, we miss their oounails and tbe pleasure of their greeting from our meetings.' Bat the inspiration ot their lives, tbe virtues which tbey practiced aud tbe traits of noble char acter wbloh tbey exercised are ours. These constitute tbe priceless heritage wblcb tbey bave left. Ibeir leoosnition and their emula tion constitute tbe highest tribute that oould be paid and tbe noblest monument tbat oould be builded to their memory. We mourn with those who were near and dear and we hope to help tbem oberlab up memories of their loved one's virtues. Therefore tbe delibera tions of our annual assembly are for this day suspended, and this hour Is set apart by as to da tbem honor. We are pleased, we are proud, we are honored to be able to unite in this oeremony with those surviving members of tbat noble army who, iu tbe nation's boar of trial, bared tbeir breasts to the grim duties of war and bied that tbe nation might live. Those institutions of liberty wblcb tbey at tbat time sacrificed so niuob to save, we have labored with the best ot our talents to guard and preserve. lo develope a better and higher manhood and womanhood among our selves, to inouloate a spirit of loftier patriotism and a healthy Interest in the practical affairs of state is one ot tbe moet prominent features to wblob the work ot oar organization ioone- orated.' And i we are therefore pleased to unit with you-in honoring those who have given np their lives in helping on the struggle for justice and liber ty, eithet while engaged in tbe arts of peace or upon the field of battle. Following tbe address was a song "Forget Not tbe Dead," by tbe grange. - ' ' Mrs. Clara Waldo, wm. M. Hilla ry, Jacob Voorhees, Hon. Tboi. Paul sen, Past Master Hayes and Hon. 1 B. G. Leedy delivered addreses eugolia- tio of the life of tbe late Judge J. P. Boise, wbo bad been a member of the order sinoe 1879, and wbo was elected as tbe grand master of tbe state grange in 1880. Tbe next number on tbe prorgam was a song "Juab As I Am," led by tbe Pine Grove grange, wblob was fol lowed by the following eulogies: Mrs. I. L. Hllleary and Mrs. -Clara Waldo paid trbute to tbe memory of Mrs. E. O. Williams; Mrs. Sbaw, Mrs. Harris Whitby and Mr. Klzer spoke in mem ory of Mrs. Mary 8. Walker ; Mr. A. F.

A recitation "After Death" was rendered by Mrs. Whitby, which was followed with a selection by tbe band. Miss Joy Mason delivered a beautiful recitation entitled "Old Glory." Tbe U. A. B. was represented by the Bev. C. H. MoKee, pastor of tb Baptist church, wbo delivered tbe fol lowing splendid address: . Worthy lecturer, comrades, ladies and gentlemen : I deem myself great ly honored in being asked to address this united body ot state grangers, members of tbe O. A. .K. and W. K. O. In tbe few minutes alloted me I will attempt to present one thought to yea. When tbe first sun was fired on Ft. Sumpter in 1801 1 was a ebild six years ot age. I well remember tbe sentiment of tbe northern states. Tbey rose op as one man and said "Tbe onion mast not be severed. Un ion inseperable now and forever." All were ready to march to tbe soene of wsr. Husbands left their wives; lov ers left sweethearts; mothers gsve up tbeir sons. Nothing was too good to sacrifice for oar country. My earliest remembrances of my mother waa ber work In tbe soldiers relief circle. My earliest remembrance of my father was bis hiring ot a sub stitute lor tbe war. lie was examined by tbe army luraeon. but.waa not ac oepted because of some physical diss biuty. I can think of but one illustration t tbis point. A large picnic ftrij passed down tbe Niagara river and landed a few miles above tbe falls. I bey spent tbe day in having a good sociable time. In tbe evening tbey gathered on the boat tor tbeir home ward trip. Tbe great boat moved out into midstream and beaded np tbe river. By and by tbe passengers no ticed by tbe objects on tbe bore that the boat waa atanding still. Tben Inch by Inob she began to drop down stream. Inches grew into feet, feet into yards and yards Into rods. The oaptaio nailed down to tbe fireman, "Have you all tbe steam on?" The fireman replied "All the steam s at your service. " I ben tbe captain gave this singular order: "Break up tbe furniture, fill the farnaoes. Tbe order was obeyed. Tbe areat engines rooked tbe boat too and fro as though he was a living creature, making her final straggle lor tbe malntalnanoe of life. Volumes of fire and smoke belohed from ber trembling stack. By and by tbe passengers saw, from the trees on tbe shore, that tbe boat stood stllL Then inob by Inch she moved against the current. Tbe inches grew into reet, feet Into yards and yards into rods and at last tbe great boat moved majestically np tbe stream, and tbe multitude of eager men and women were saved. Victory) Baved by aao rlfioe of tbe furniture; saved because sbe was manned by a berolo orew. Bentiment aaved our oountry. Vou marobed to tbe front a hundred thous and strong, determined to save our oountry at any cost. Tbis was tbe sentiment of the oountry. ihe greatest man who ever trod tbe earth, the man Christ Jejus, said, "1 oring not peaoe but a sword." What did he mean? He meant peaoe at any oost. ' '" You drew your sword and shoulder ed your musket. What did you mean? lou meant peace at any cost, noth ing waa too good to ssorlnoe for your country's peaoe and welfare. Without tbis uniou we never oould have been a great nation. The past rises before me and 1 aee tour million toula In bondage. Your berioism and valor on tbe battle field enabled President Llnooin to official ly strike tbe ahackela from this multi tude of slaves, and this wss tbe be ginning of tbe course to wipe tbe sin ot human slavery off the faoe of tbe earth. The present i Ises before me and 1 aee the greatest and grandest nation on God's green earth. Preoiptate up. on as, are tbe greatest and eraveat re sponsibilities ot tin ages. The most ditUoult and complex problems of the ages lie at oar door tor solution, and if tbe American continent Is ever to solve them successfully it must solve tbem upon tbe basis of liberty, right eousness, patriotism and aisdom that la born ot tbe twentieth century Americanism. Tbe pioturo rises before me and I see our oountry, tbe greatest in tbe history ot nations, a blessing to tbe whole wide earth and tbe friend and defender of liberty. When the war was over you separat ed, some to tbe north, east, south and west. And by your beruio efforts ?ou have made our country what it is oday. You bave filled all the official stations in tbe land from tbe bum- blijst station ot trust to tbe presiden cy of our land, and you have filled tbem witb credit and honor. Out of all of our beroio achieve ments I am persuaded that you bring your greatest blessing to our nation In the establishment of a permanent national memorial day. . ibis morning l see angels looking ever tbe battlements of Heaven. Tbey looked down upon oar eastern coast. lbey looked down epon our eastern tales, and saw tbe men, women and children rushing everywhere. They were laden with flowers. These anaels oalled to the heavenly Irst and raid, "Dome and see, this is decoration day in the land ot free America. Today Is tbe day when tbe grandest nation in tbe universe tor this nation is a Christian nation because founded on Cbrstian institutions for today tbe whole nation draws near to Uod. All day tbis beauty of sentiment and de- wfftlnn Itfasi Iiaaii art waik-1 Inn n a4 hi tuiium , una ucvu siDDUlug uuilUi south and westward oyer our fair land and now it has reached the coast. Could anythng he more beautiful? - The sentmeut of love and loyalty for our oountry fills tbe land today, la not this tbe greatest blessing that you have given os? When yea bave oommemorated your Irst memorial service,1 when tbe last veteran ot tbe o'vil war has gone to bis reward, the next memorial day the nation will as semble and say, "We will perpetuate memorial day forever." This will be tbe nation ot a great and tree people that will pay tribute to your memory as long as tbe ages roll. Our watch cry will be "our oountry, our flag, ana our uoa. Let me take time to give you tbe prophesy written in our grand old flag. The white denotes parity, the red denotes tbe prioe tbst we paid for liberty and tbe blue denotes the uni versality ot peace. As a whole It Is the insigna of God to declare to tbe nations of tbe earth tbat Amerioa was tbe founder of liberty, an I tbat she shall be tbe defender and protectorate of human rights and righteousness for bis glory and bia salvation, to all peo ple, nations, ainarea and tongues. and ultimately rigbteonsnesa shall fill tbe hearts ot men as tbe waters fill tbe deep. In and through Christ we shall conquer and for his name's "sake we win persevere Amen. Following tbe address Comrade Ea ton, who enlisted for tbe war at 42 yeara of age, and wbo is now 87. re cited tbe following poem which is in- or i bed In each of tbe 83 national cem eteiies of tbe United Btates: Tba muffled dram's sad roll has beat Th. soldier's last tatoo. No more on life's parsde shall meet Tb. brave and fallea few. On Fame's eternal camping (roand Tbeir silent tents are spread, Concluded on last pass GRANGER!,! CON CLUDE SESSION , : '. STRAWBERRY BANQUET A FEATURE Many Resolatloas Adopted U'Ren Present to Defend Ills Attitude on Initiative and Referendum Bill. 'The plan for tbe grange excursion oa Ihmsday morning were fully and oarefully carried out. About 400 took advantage of tbe trip. Five care were ran in at tbe depot about 7:30 and by 8 b 'clock they were all filled. Tbe train left promptly at 8 'and carried tbe visitors as tar as Odell station. A little time waa spent here in sight see ing snd tbey then dropped back aa far as Vsn Horn station. Many of tbe grangers ascended tbe Van Horn butte where tbey oould get very compre hensive view of the valley. Many of the grangers said tbat tbis view waa one ot tbe finest sights that tbey had ever aeen. After all were aboard tbey ran down to the A.. I. Mason orchard, where the boss waa pleased to receive tbem and aoquaint tbem witb the ap pearance ot a commercial orchard. The train polled into Hood River In time for dinner. Tbe excursion waa run under tbe peraonal supervision of Cuas. Early, passenger agent ot the line. The trip waa devoid of aocidents snd thoroughly enjoyed by the visit ors. The state grange resumed its work alter the publio memorial aervioe Thursday afternoon by conferring the 5th degree ot Pomona upon 140 can didates, and the Gth degree of Flora opon 109 candidates. At the conclusion of tbe business session tbe 500 wbo were In attend ance repaired to tbe opera house to enjoy the banquet prepared by tbe lo cal granges and consisting of tbe fa mous Hood Blver strawberries and cream. A. I. Mason also presented eaob of the delegates witb a genuine uooa Kiver apple. Friday morning tbe grange conven ed at 8:30 and opened in form on the 1th degree. After roll call the min utes ot tbe previous meeting were read and approved. lbe following telegram waa read be fore the convention : "Hon. Buxton, master state grange, Hood River, Ore. Eugene sends congratulations and weloomes state grange here next year. J. D. Matlock, mayor." Hon. W. S. U'Ken tben addressed tbe convention on the subject of tbe initiative and referendum.
