The bright weather, good roads and hours of leisure at this season of the year, made of the meeting of Clackamas Pomona with the Harding Grange, last week, the largest gathering of its kind in this county, if not in the state. The number who sat down to dinner wag 235. The reports from tbe several subordi nates granges indicated that the order is progressing in this county in numbers and influence at a rapid rate. Both Eagle Creek and Garfield are making preparations to erect a roomy, two story ball. Molalla has 148 members, being the banner grange of the county. Highland grange il building a kitch en ; Harding grange is considering the plan of building an addition to its hall in front.

Li. iioiman wbb promptly notified and the body was removed to the morgue. ' It developed at the coro ner's inquest that when leats onereu the man a job he had turned to him and said : "You haye saved my life" at the same time taking from a pocket a small paper of morphine and showing It to Mr. Teats. He then said : "I was just going to take that." Teats tried to take the drug fiom the man but could not do bo, and left him thinking that he would soon be working on his farm. When Teats heard of the man's death he came to town and told his story to the coro ner's jury. The man'8 identity was aiscoverea through Captain J. T. Gray, of Port land. He bad in his pocket Captain Gray's name engraven on some alumi num checks, luinaing mat captain Gray might know the man he was com municated with. He immediately came to Oregon City and at once identified the body as that of William Warner, a deckhand, who had worked for him on a Yukon river steamer. ne said tnat Warner was a first' class hand and did not drink when be knew him. He said he got to know Warner very well on the Yukon and liked his work, so offered him a job in February. He thinks the man was waiting lor February before calling on him. After due deliberation the coroner's jury returned a verdict that the de ceased came to his death through twenty grains of morphine administered by bis own band. The remains were buried in the potter's field Sunday.

Mrs. Niblin, of Evening Star grange, initiated the officers of Pomona and of Harding grange in an Impressive man ner. She recited tle ritual, rendered into blank verse, from memory. A resolution was passed against that barbarous game, football, at i schools. The sum of (5 was donated to each of the four new granges at GarSeld, Eagle Creek, Maple Lane and Molalla. On account of the continual growth ol . the grange in this county and tbe large ness ot tbe crowd, all grangers, assem bled, the question was brought up whether it would not be advisable to di vide this county into two Pomona dis tricts. Evidently something must be done. Tbe place for assembling three months hence was not fixed. Milwaukie grange expressed its desire to entertain Pomona in July. A rising vote of thanks was given Harding grange for its generous hospi tality, and all who were present must certainly agree that Harding honored itself. . Sixty-six took the fifth degree. The ceiemony of initiation having been com pleted, the class, mostly composed of young folks, amused itself for ball an hour in eating oranges, candies and cake. The drawback on this occasion, as in other parts of the meeting, was the inadequacy of the ball to the size of the crowd. The program of the lecturer filled up the remainder of the evening until II :30, the. last number of which, an essay by Mrs. B'eithaupt should, on account of its excellence, have been given first. The floor was cleared, the stove re moved, and the young folks began to dance, going home at five in the morn ing, to be home in time to "pail the cows." ...THE...
