Convention Sidelights Interesting comments are being heard on all sides at the convention headquarters from both men and wo men or the fine reception given to them by their hosta In La Grande. That all visitor are being royally en tertained Is the concensus of dele gates. Although not eligible for member ship In any of the railroad organiza ttona Harry W.

She Is registered from Baglno, P. I, H. W. Joslyn. chief of the local di vision at GlennB Ferry, Idaho, Is among the Interested and active visi tors at the meetings. Local men who are probably more nearly responsible than any other two persona for the success of the convention now in progress are Charles O. Bull, who has been chair man of the general convention com mittee, and O. M. Humphreys, secre tary of the general committee. It was through the untiring efforts of Mr. Humphreys that the convention was first sought by the La Orantie members.

A., who would have presided during the con vention, Louis Morgan, of Portland, i Is presiding and will do so until the election of officers for the ensuing year.

I. A., Is aharlng honors with Mrs. A. Moore, of Seattle, assistant grand vice. These two are the only re pre sen tat Ives of the grand office of the G. I. A. present at the meetings.
