OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, JANUARY 13, 1905. 8 INSTALLATION AT MAPLE LANE Pomona Grange May Have a Permanent Horre. MASTER BEARD'S ADDRESS Money Received From Sale of Prize Wagon May Bi Used in C instruction of Hall. Mople Lane Grango, Patrons of Husbandry, hold au enthusiastic meet ing Saturday and installed officers. Mrs. Lawrence Mautz and W. H. Hubble were admitted to membership and by means' of the combined ritual ; initiated successfully in the first and second degrees when, having been joined by four more candidates for : a higher stage of usefulluess in the noble order, they took the third and fourth degrees. The names of two candidates were presented by the sec retary and which will be balloted on next meeting. The Grango has sixty members in good legal standing. The motion that suspended members be reinstated on payment of one yeai's dues was lost. Then by vote Fred Worms and wife, G. F. Gibbs and W. H. Williams, were reinstated, pro vided they pny one years dues. Mr. Lewis introduced a resolution, the purport of which was that the , subordinate granges of this county take measures for securing hall and grounds centrally located as the per manent home of the Pomona, that the Pomona of this county hold an annuul fair and that the money ob tained for the prize wagon be reserved for the purpose herein indicated. The resolution was adopted. The secretary was authorized to expend 1 for sending the American grange bullotiu to ten farmers for three months. Past Master J Vorhees, of Wood burn, installed the newly elected ollloers, beginning jith the master, A. J. Hobble, The retiring master. William Beard, read the following address at the close of his official duties: , "My Dear friend and brothers: "lam glad of this opportunity of being the first to greet you as the W. M. of Maple Lane Grange and I hope and believe you will fill this honor able position with credit to yourself and profit to this grange, While the office of W. M. is a position of honor it is also a position of trust and res ponsibility. Your follow patrons have conferred this honor upon you fully believing in your ability to dis charge that trust and to meet the responsibilities appertaining to this high office with the heart of a true patron, who fears only to be wrong. "And now patrons, in leaving the master's chair I am happy to say that 1 leave it with nothing hut good will and best wishes towards nil and if the W. M. and the installing officers will permit mo I should like to go over as briefly as possible the history of Maple Lane Grange. This Grange was organized in May li)01 by Bro. J. S. Casto with a charter list of some 80 odd members. G. H. Gi bbB as our master and Win. Beard overseer. We were a mixed lot at the time and met in a livery stable, paying $1 rent per mooting and this deplorable state of affairs continued for about two years. During this time we had onr nps and downs, mostly downs. The main question at this tinio was who, when, what and where to build. "During the first two years of our exiBtaneo we took in quite a number of creditable members and some that wore n )t so creditable. In December 1901 Bro, L. W. Ingram was elected W. M. serving until June 1S)03, at which time, business alfairs causing his attention, he was complelled to resign. "It was then seen by those who wanted to build that more radical measures wero nocesssary and by this time I had a well established record as a craiik, and a radical, I of course was the logical candidate. During my first term Maple Lane Grange was incorporated with myself, Bro. Win. Braytou and Sister Mary Ingram was trustees. Money was raised, a plot of land purchased, a bui'diug was erected, and we held our first meotiug in the new hall in February, 1003. It was not much warmer, but a good deal cleaner and sweeter than our old quarters. During this time a weeding out, or elongliing off process was going on in our membership, and radical measures wero necessary to keep our Grange to gether and prosecute our building operations. Several times we passed over the bounds of propriety even to the extent of trampling State Grange laws and and usages under foot, and when taken to task by state deputies, my only answer was, 'I am working for the bost interests of Maple Lane Grange. Stand from under!' "Today we are proui of our record, and proud of our Grange, and our greatest danger, as I see it, lies in a lapse into ultra-conservatism, which is the greatest menace not only to the Grange, but to the church, the State and the Nation. ''And now, Worthy Master, as it is impossible for any one man, or woman to run a grange successfully, we will expect of you to be liberal and lenient in your rulings, careful and thoughtful of the rights of all, working for the best interests of Maple Lane Grange, and in following this course. I am free to say, and I fully believe you will get the willing and earnest support of the entire membership of the Grange. "This gavel, which in the hands ot the master, is his emblem of au thority, I have welided in this Grange for nearly three years and I am hapuy to say that in that time it Jlias never bjeu used to call a disorderly member to order. That means, Worthy Mus ter, either that this is a very orderly body of brothers and sisters, or that I have fully neglected my duty as master. The members and my own conscience be the judges. "Worthy Master, I now present you with the gavel, and at the same time call your attention to the fact that the members are slanding as a salute to the new master of Maple Lane Grange." Worthy Muster Hobble, deeply moved, replied in a few appropriate words. The installation then "ou tiuued as follows: Overseer, Mary O. A. Swallow; Beard ; assistant Allen; chaplaiii, urer, A. J. Lovtfis; Shelly; lecturer, steward, Louise steward, O. O. R. Mautz; treus secretarv, S. T. Ruuiuu, ; gatekeeper, Mrs. I. T. Dick erson ; lady assistant steward, Sarah Gilleit; Ceres, Emma Roman ; Flora, S. L. Derrack ; Pomona, Anna J., Lewis. I J. Vorhees made a short address, in which he demonstrated the great value of granges as a civilizer and edu cator, he said : "The realty of this county pays 89 1-b per cent of the taxes, and iniquity which would be almost in stantly stamped out if we forgot that w belong to a political psrty. It has been said that he farmer suffers because he docs not respect himself and he ought; to suffer. But I do hate to see people kill themselves to got a little sense." Imperfect Digestion. Moans less uutritiou and in coiise qunece less vitality. When the liver fails to secrete bile, the blood be comes loaded with bilious properties, the digestion becomes imparted and the bowels constipated. Herbine will rectify this; it gives tone to tli stomach, liver and kidneys, strength ens tho appetite, clears and improves the complexion infuses new life and vigor to the whole system. 50 cents a bottle at Oharuian & Co's dreg store. Next Pomona at Abernclhy. Abernethy Grange will in a short time have its new hall finished with anterooms. It has a length of tU feet and its width is 20 feet. A leanto alorg the north side of the hall and extending its full length, about 14 feet in width, will serve as a dining room and kitchen. The building is being plastered throughout with wood fibre. In April Abernethy grange intends to entertain the Pomona. Rev. Carisle P. B. Martin, L. L. D. of Waverly, Texas, writes: "Ot a morning, when first arising, I often find a troblesomo collection of phlegm wh hicproduces a cough and is very hard to dislodge; but a small quan tity of Ballard's Horehound Syrup will dislodge it, and the trouble is over. I know Jof no medicine that is equal to it, and it is so pleasant to take. I can most cordially recom mend it to all persons needing a medi cine for throat or 'lung trouble." Sold by Clmrman & Co. 'An American Hobo" Coming. "Au American Tramp" by the author of Sol Smith Russell's success, "Peaceful Valley" and "Poor Rela tion," will.be billed at Shively's opera house, Saturday, January 14.
