Medford meeting. It follows:
To eloso tlii year's work wit limit
some liiinl of a de.se riui ion of the
iinnnul ineetlnj,- of tin- sum- Feder
ation :il Medrord would indeed mean
that wo as a club had failed to pre

events in Oregon oiuh history, ami T

Ky to tin besl of my . ability.- an
account of the Medford hieeliiu,'.
Or pnui'HP all ivnlize that Medford
is very similar to I.u Crande In size;
that it m'Mil.-H in 1 1 1 - hills of Siuilh-r-rn
Oregon with i cull ml mti itiK.
and that it contains moiim of 1 In
stale's most cntcrprisinK citizens
both men and women.
The Medford hospitality Is deep
sealed and sincere and to such men
as It. F.. Harder, formerly of Hakcr
but now a haulier of .Med ford and
president of ihe Commercial rluh;
K. H. Smith, one of the editors of
the Medrord Tribune; Karl i Cad
dis, mayor of Med ford, alowr with
many oilier gentlemen who left their
business and professional duties to
see that club visitors were properly
entertained, is due t he profound
HianUs and appreciation of all l-Vd-eraled
rlubfi of the mate.
Hearty Welcome diiveii.
Tt was on Monday, May lilst that
every train brought to Medford nu
merous delegates. The town was
iilive with them, and on every hand
was that cordial1, spirit of welcome:
which pleased the ladies and made
the occasion one of harmony and
tfood fellowship.
On the evening of Iho -first day
Mrs. Ida Ti. Callahan, of CorvaUis.
and Mrs. Collins V. Klliins of Prine
villc. opened the first session exhibiting-
marked ability as presiding offi
cers. The years of experience in
handling parliamentary work plainly
places Ida It. Callahan in a cfuss
al mo! with the celebrated Thomas
lieed ns a presiding officer. Ad
dresses of welcome hy the mayor,
president of the chamber of com
merce: r.nd president of the (ireuter
Medford club, all breath. -d again the
cloiuenl 'welcome of host, to guests,
whereas the response by Mrs. Wil
liam Hell of Portland, was most
cleverly given as the speaker voiced
everyone's sentiment h.i her appre
ciative words. "

the women's clubs of Oregon for

interested, and gave the entiro au

throughout the state.

to routine work as was Tuesday af

cepi jonal ability and outstanding
character, gave a delightful tea at
her beautiful bungalow on Siskiyou
Heights. Mrs. Owen, in vcarti gone
by, was one of t he club writers on
the I'ortlund newspapers and her
wide aciitiaintance rouplcd w It h her
natural ability as an entertainer made
