About 150 members were present at
the opening of the session but this
evening not less than 400 members
outside of Wasco county are in town.
This with the 300 members of the
nearby local granges makes a total
of 700. Every train brings additional
numbers. Prominent grangers in at
tendance from Clackamas county are
J. W. Thomas, master of the Clack
amas Pomona grange, Capt. A. T.
Apperson of Abernethy grange, Mrs.
Cetchell and several other members
of Milwaukie grange, J. D. Chitwood,
overseer Clackamas Pomona grange;
F. M. 'Gill of Garfield grange, Mrs.
Thomas of Molalla, No. 810, and many
others.
Yesterday many proposed amend
ments to the by-laws were offered.
A resolution was adopted asking the
executive committee of the National
Grange to push the work of investi
gating the postoffice department at
Washington to find a reason for our
postal deficit.
Last night the grange was wel
comed to Hood River by the Mayor,
L. M. Blowers, and Truman Butler
Appropriate responses were made by
leading grangers.
This morning the by-laws were
amended so that the State Grange
sessions shall be held on the , second
Tuesday of May instead of the fourth,
as at present
The first order of business this af
ternoon was the election of the exec
utive committee. C. E. Spence, of
Carus, Clackamas county, the present
incumbent, was re-elected by a large
majority.
A long and animated discussion on
the repeal ofthe three per cent rebate
for payent of taxes on or before March
13, occupied a good portion of the af
ternoon. C. E. Spence and F. M. Gill
In apt speeches favored Its repeal,
T. L. Turner was opposed to its re
peal; but the grange voted in favor
of repealing it by a vote of 30 to 20.
Eugene, Corvalli, La Grande and
Tillamook City were placed in nomi
nation for place of meeting of the
next session. Hut just as the tide
was setting heavy toward Corvallls,
F. M. Gill took the floor and made a
telling speech for Eugene and Eugene
won by a vote of 30 to 25. The friends
of the State University are jubilant
over the victory as they believe that
this will show that the grangers stand
squarely Jor a square deal. It is
thought that if any odium has at
tached to the state grange on account
of the referendum which has been
called on the State University appro
priation, that this action by the State
Grange will clear up the situation.
