At the annual meeting of the stock holders of the Willamette Valley Chau tauqua Association held last Saturday, 320 out of the 423 shares of the ttock were represented. The total receipts were something less than $3,000, leaving an incurred indebtedness of about $500. The following oflicers were elected: President. W. E. Hawlev. re-elected: vice-president, C. II. Dye, re-elected j secretary, H. (Jross; taeasuror, T. v. Ryan ; other members of the board of directors, W. E. Carll," George A. Hard ing, h. E Charman, Colonel Robert A. Miller, .Mrs. William Galloway. The meeting was not legal as the required 10 day notice was not given, and besides the h'urofthe gathering was changed on the day previous, so that many stock holders did not really know when to put in an appearance. An effort was made fov some newly acquired pie eaters to shut off all the privileges of fhe early stockholders, who bad made it possible for the institution to exist. However, through the enorte of (Jolonel Kobert A Miller and others the move was de1 feated. , There is no doubt but what the man agement can make up the deficiency next year by securing attractive talent for the program, and making a specialty of the sports events. 1 he early season beiore the beginning of the assembly, was not encoi'raguu to campers, and there were disappointments in the tal ent. However, under existing condi tions, trie sin annual session was a suc cess. The management of the ball games deserve commendation, for they were an attractive feature. Next year a disappointment like that occurring on the bourth of July as to ball games can be avoided. It also is hoped that a phys ical instructor will be secured next sea son, who does not devote his time to teaching girls dancing steps. The Chautauaua has come to Slav. and it will grow larger and broader in its Bold of usefulness. If any of the direc tors get tired of holding their job, they can step down and give the other stock holders a chance.

Clackamas District PomovaHon. J. Voorhees Addresses Molalla Ao. 40. Notwithstanding the busy eeaso-i, Po mona Grange at Springwater was well attended. During t fie afternoon session, Mrs. Howard, Pomona lecturer, arose and called to the fl( or the two whiti haired veteran .workers of 'he order, Chaplain Eaton and State Deputy Dr. Casto. With a short, touching, eloquent address idle presented each of tlieni, in behalf of Clackamas Pomona, with a locket of solid gold, adapted for a watch chain ornament, bearing the inscription, in addition to the name, "(J. P. G. P. of H." Mr. Zeek, worthy master of Kale Creek Grange, strenuously urged the ilronn to bold ihe October meeting ot imona at Eagle Creek, to which re quest, notwitbsianding the humorous effort" of Oswego to capture that nppor-' tuniiy.for the exercise of hospitality and fraternity, the Grange by vote assented Mr. Zeek advanced the proposition that a two-days' meeting be . held at Kagle Crpes. As the bretkren there arekind, and good livers, the suggestion is excel lent. The hospitality and bonhomie of the Springwatnr friends captured the hearts of their visitors, and when, at the end of the closed meeting, they were asked to express their appreciation of the same by a "rising vote" of thanks, they responded with .a hearty earnest ness indicating that to them this as no mere formality but something full of meaning. The open meet- ng in the evening was given to a iterary and mn.-icai entertaiument. The program was as follows: Instrumental music, Willie Clark; recitation, Widie Sellwood; recitation, Loreua Lacy; in strumental tnusic, Henry Shannon; re citation, jWrs.

Shib ley; recitation, Walter Pruden ; he re ceived an encore, to which he respond ed; quartette, Mtlwaukie Grange; reci tation, Anna Holm : instrumental music . The best oratorical effort was by all odds the recitation by VV. .Fruden, son oi Dr. Pruden. He has no small measure of histrionic talent and some day will mike bis mark. A free dance till mid night succeeded the entertainment. This was the young folks' turn; and well did they make use of it. On Saturday, Past Master J. Voorhees, of Woodburn, made an instructive talk to Molalla Grange. He showed, that the only manner in which the farmers can combat the grafters who devour them is to oigantze. In a year and a,half, 100 mortgages have been foreclwed in Ma rion county, and more and moie farmeis will continue to go under. Since the farm returns only 2 per cent and money costs 8 per cent, the borrowing' tanner must go broke. Nearly Beven-eighths of the taxes are paid by real estate Until the farmers have learned to unite for mutual protection against their enemies. the grafiing politicians and their tools, they will continue to be fooled and rob bed by them.

As to stage appointments, there were no piusii or velvet curtains or couches draped with satin In early days. The furniture was as unpreten tious as the costumes. Indeed on one occasion when a lady was playing Des- demoua to her husband's Othello a dis astrous and at the same time ludicrous effect, though of course unrehearsed, had been Imminent through the lack of even a nail or two to make an old stool steady. It was the smothering scene, and the couch was made up of two chairs and a rickety stool covered, of course, with tho simplest draperies a red merino curtain trimmed with yellow worsted fringe. Imagine a Dcsdcmona endeav oring to recline gracefully, all the while feeling portions of her couch sliding from under her. This Is how the scene was played out: Desdemnna Kill me tomorrow!

Ills car stopped ot Spruce street to let a middle aged lady on, nnd as sho took her seat the conductor gave the motorman two bells, and tho car shot ahead. When the conductor entered the car, the wo man In question was looking out of the window and did not see his outstretch ed hand. "Fare, please," remarked the con ductor. The woman evidently did not hoar him, for she did not turn her head. Neither did she hold out tho necessary coin, "Fare, please," suld the conductor In a louder tone. But the woman paid no heed. Then the conductor touched her on the shoul der and In a tone of voice that rang through the car exclaimed: "Your fare, please, lady!" Then the woman turned hastily around and looked at the conductor. Tho knight of tho bellcord gave one gasp and fled to the bock platform. The woman was bis niother ln-law. Omnlia World-Herald.
