It is Bhuated on the Maple Lane road about 60 rodB beyond the school house. The grange owns its own lot, it being a small fractional less than an acre oining the farm of N. W. Richards.and having a very fine grove of small fir trees on it.

Brothers S. T. Roman and A. J Hobble groomed the goat. James She! ly and A. Mautz had charge of the coffee pot, and the sisters were all interested in the pork and beans sizzling in the oven, that the W. M., Wm, Beard, and the overseer, L. W. Ingram, had actu ally gone through the form of openings the grange with all its secret forms and ceremonies w'thout payina any atten tion to the candidates who were consid eranly amused at the circus and won dered when and where ihey were to diop into the procession, so we all had good laugh, and like the Irishman build ing bis chimney, we began at the top and what between marching and coun termarching, eating and drinking and later on speech making the new converts must have thought they had the great est show on earth. Well, all jokes aside, Maple Lane Grange is in a fair way towards the top and in time will be second to no other grange in Clackamas county. We now number about 60 members in good standing, 15 of them carrying life nsurance and three nre insurance, eight or ten have dropped out for various reasons, but instead of making the grange weaker it has acted in the oppo site way, as the grange was neber in a more nourishing condition than at present. By the way,, there will be a basket so cial given a the new hall on Saturday, March 2lst, at 6 o'clock, for the purpose of raising fuuds to complete the hall. Coffee will also be served. Come one, come all, but If you cannot come your self do as Bro. Alfred Luelling did send four bits his was, and yours will be very acceptable. Wm. Beard. Letter List.
