bers of Clackamas Grange
FINE PROGRAM RENDERED
State Lecturer Mrs. Waldo
and ' State Mastet Leedy
Were Present 32 Re
ceive Fifth Degree.
Pomona Grange of Clackamas county
met at Clackamas on Wednesday, Oo.
tober 12, and right royally were the
members e ntertained. Has the nat
ural scenery of a locality any thing
to do with the disposition of ft peo
ple? It Beems so for the cordiality of
the villagers wos In keeping with the
beauty and grandnre of their sur
roundings. As representatives from
the various cranges entered the vil
lage the snow capped and Bun-kissed
peak of Mt. Hood smiled down upon
them in welcoming gladness, and yet
in spite of its smiles, it suggested
strength and steadfastness. Its
beauty was enhanced by the low
ridge of hills, trhough a gap in which
this most beautiful peak "in the world
can be seen. On the summit and sides
of those hills is the dark green of the
fir, and the yellow and gold of the
oak and maple an artistio foreground
for Jtlie mountain picture adding a
touch of delicate bouuty to the grand'
. ore of the scene, just as the graces
of life are an added attraction to the
sturdiness of character of the inhabi
tants. But this is aside from the sub
ject of this article.
The Pomona grange met in the Odd
Fellows hall, Worthy Master Gries-
enthwaite presiding. Reports from
the various subordinate granges were
read or given orally by members pres
ont Eighteen out of the nineteen
granges in the county reported. These
reports snow a healthy and growing
oondition, although a very few
granges neod to waken up if they
expect to keep up with the proceS'
sion.
Mrs. Mary Howard, Secretary of
the State Grange, as chairman of the
Pomona oommittoe appointed to seoure
an exhibit for the Lewis and Clark
Fair reported that but little progress
-vlias been made as yet, but that the
bommittee will got to work immed
iately. This committee is an advis
ory one, acting in conjunction with
local committees directing and cor
recting thorn in their work. '
Mrs. Judge Waldon, lecturer of the
state grange and editor of the Grange
Bulletin, mado several short addresses
during the day. Mrs. Waldo is an
entertaining and fluent spoakor, and
her talks wore rocoivod with marked
approval and liberal applause by the
audionoo.
Stato Master Loody stated that an
excellent exhibit of products from the
variouB counties is being proparod
for display at the National Grange
Meeting in Portland. Friday, No

ferring the sixth and Bovunth degrees

Only two resolutions woro intro
duced. One by Win, Beard, asked for
the appointment of a oonuuittoo to
confer with the mayor and council of
Oregon City in regard to the estab
lishment of pnblio toilets. The other
Resolution was introduced by F. M.
Gill, and was as follows. "Kesolvod,
That Clackamas County Pomona
Grange favors the passage of a law
making the acceptance of a pass over
any transportation line, by a stato,
county, or municipal officer a misde
meanor, and providing a penalty for
its violation; and if the legislature
refuses to pass said law, we favor its
initiation by tho people. Both resolu
tions wore passed.
Mr. Shibley, of Springwater, mado
a strong appeal in favor of co-opor-ative
business enterprises. Tho soore-
tary was instructed to correspond with
secretaries oi the suDormnnte grangoB
in regard to holding a meeting for
the purpose
of discussing co-opera-
tion.
The recent action of tho Stato
Grango in declaring that Pomona
officers are to serve two years, ron
dored unnecessary tho oleotion which
was expected to take place at this
ueeting. Ed Bat
3ates, gatekeeper, and , d;isso b-T,?ivj"K y?u strength too re

GRANGE MEMBERSHIP.
Who Should De Admitted to Member
ship In the Order.
H. E. Cook, a well known member
of the Order and a farmers Institute
lecturer, has a very timely article In
the Tribune Farmer of recent date on
the Influence of the grange and who
should constitute its membership:
We are frequently met by the propo
sition, To what extent may other
occupations and professions be ad
mitted? I took occasion recently to
say at our grunge meeting in the pres
ence of so called professional men that
the primary function of the Order was
social, ethical and civic uplift; that so
long as one-third of our population
was agricultural there rested upon
this Order more than the burden of
purely agricultural matters, and that
Its influence Bhoukl reach out and im
pregnate the life of our small country
towns aye, even the Interior rural cities
of the land, that are largely dependent
Upon country blood for municipal de-
veiupment-"Bna rnai yrv weicomeo
these men and women from other
walks of life woo came with thought,
culture and a proper conception of
home and civic duty to our ranka, so
long as the leadership, inspiration, In
fluence and guiding light came from
the farmer and the farm home. Such
assimilation with the farmer the host
is sure to lead the town man to great
er charity for others and blessing to
himself.
The grange passed through a period
of sloughing off this professional and
mercantile acquisition twenty-flve
years ago, because those men sought
to mnke the Order subservient to their
own selfish interests. The farmers had
not at that time, however, developed
that ability for leadership manifest
now. If the farm influence is again
permitted to give way to foreign ma
nipulation then la our fate sealed and
a period of decay must strain prevail
The moment this outMd Indocac ap
pears as a speck upon the nortoon unit
ed effort from the farmers must rax It
to the earth, never to riM again. 1
have seen the powerful lnflnenc at
the grange during the toglabtttr sea
son just closed as never before. Are
we strong enough to maintain this ef
fective ascendency and continue our
present growth?
Only astute and discerning leader
ship will enable us to answer In the
affirmative. State and national grange
meetings will have to be engineered
away from the purely social and good
fellowship side of the nronosldon and
come to deal with problems fromth
cold business point of view. There
must be strong men at the helm, ca
pable of good Judgment first and then
the character and stamina to hold fast,
not swerving from the course.
A California Grans; of 860 Member.
An exchange says Orchard City
grange, Campbell, Cal., has been or
ganized little more than a year, has
600 members, meets twice each month
and has good programmes. The mem
bers are mostly orcbardlsts (hence the
name) living in the vicinity of Camp
bell, located in one of .the finest sec
tions of Santa Clara valley, near the
Santa Cruz mountains, which are beau
tiful the entire year. At one of the
Installation services of the grange for
refreshments they had what they call
ed a prune demonstration, everything
but the bread being mado of prunes.
We almost fear that our contemporary
has made a miscount The member

and for a pearling" grange.
