To be able to teed, over seven
hundred people a day for four days
in a small hotel is a trick in itself.
But this is what the Hotel Corvallis
baa been doing during the session of
the State Grange held in this city
Over 200 Grangers are fed each
meal at this popular hotel and srll
are carefully and politely waited
upon by the half dozen waiters, who
see that none of the guests are
neglected. It is a source of pride
to the city to know that she has the
accomodations to take care of such
a large gathering of guests such as

life bv telling the story ot D10
cletian who after being dethroned
at Rome went to live in his coun
try villa aad would not leave his
cabbage and peas to dream of em
pire again when the throne was
offered him.
Mrs. Whitbv spoke of the won
derful resources of Benton county
and of its bright prospects for the
future. She said that this coun
ty possessed one great advantage
in having the Agricultural Col-
table was I lege located here and that we ex
supply oflnected to grain many new and
valuable thoughts from the Fa
trons who have gathered here for
their annual session.
Mis. Waldo gave a very hearty
response to tne welcome, one
said the Grange honors women
and because they have such just
ideas to do that thev are success
ful in their undertakings. They
are looking out for the future and
building not for today alone but
for the future and posterity.
Judge Boise followed Mrs.
Waldo and gave a very interest
ing and instructive talk. He
told how all 01 the measures
which had been of great benefit
to the people had been rst talked
of in the Grange and then intro
duced to the people at large. He
said that this had been true for
over twenty years but the people
were not making all tbey mignt
out of the measures . that" nave
been passed. He then spoke at
considerable length on the need
of unity; if farmers " would get
good prices for their products
and if they would be free and in
dependent.: All other industries
are forming consolidations and so
must the farmer. But before
this will be possible the farmer
must be an educated " man and
able to understand and reason on
subjects that interest him most
It was for : this kind 01 educa
tional work that the agricultural
colleges were founded, largely
through ; the influence of - the
Grange. He said that as edu
cated men began taking hold of
agriculture they would see the
necessity of unity and probably
unite on some such basis as that
now offered by the Grange.
:- The solos by Mr. Turney were
very much appreciated and the
ladies chorus was hailed with de
light Both responded to hearty
encores.
After the exercises in the
chapel were over the Patrons, the
members of the faculty and per
formers of the evening, were in
vited to go immediately Jto the
Armory and partake ot a banquet
prepared, for them.
This they did and some 300
people were soon being served
with sandwiches, coffee, ice
cream and cake.
After the refreshments were
served Dr. Withycombe gave a
short address and then acting as
toastmaster called on the , follow
named persons and all responded
most, heartily: Mr. Buxton,
Miss Mary Howard, secretary
State Grange, W. M. Hilleary,
Jacob Voorhees, Mrs. Anna Ew-
mg, and B. G. Ieedy, master ot
the State Grange.
Wednesday morning the first
session was called at nine o'clock.
At this session Mr. Buxton gave
a tull report ot his work tor. the
past year; and the matter of get
ting a bill through congress pro
viding for the "carrying of eleven
pounds of - mail instead of four
was discussed but dropped with
out very "much discussion as be
ing a matter they could not set
tle. It was then chapel time and
the Grange accepted the invita
tion of President Gatch to attend
the regular chapel exercises.
The chapel was crowded and
manv could not eet inside the
door. After, the regular exer
cises the president called on Mr,
Buxton, 'of the class of 1895 to
say a few words, which he did.
Among other things, he said a
man's education depends more
upon himself than upon the op
portunities the institution oners.
He was followed by Judge Boise,
of Portland, who gave a short ad
dress, after which the Grangers
retired to the lawn-to watch the
cadets drill.
The principal business of the
afternoon session was the elec
tion of officers. The result of
the election was as follows:
B. G. Iveedy, master; Jacob
Clem, overseer; Mrs. Waldo,
lecturer; Mr. Shaw, steward;
Mrs. Tharp and Mrs. . Young,

tary ; Mr. Warfield, gatekeeper ;
Mrs. Bovd. Ceres; Mrs. Cras
well, Pomona; Mrs. West, Flora;
Austin Buxton, executive com
mittee; Mr. Vorhees and Mr.
Hilleary, legislative committee.
After the election of officers,
which is a biennial affair, the Pa
trons gathered on the front steps !
of the Agricultural Hall and had
their pictures taken, which ended
the work of the afternoon.
In the evening at eight o'clock
very interesting lecture on
roads, both good and bad, and
cost of each kind was given by
Prof. Hyde, of Eugene. He
gave figures showing -how .much
more expensive bad roads really
are than good ones. He showed
how necessary it is . that brain
work as well as head work be em-
ploved in locating aad construct
ing a road. He then showed by
a number of stereopticon views
the difference in good and bad
roads. He also showed by the
use of slides how necessary it is
that a dirt road be well construe
ted. AIT who heard the lecture
realized more fully than ever be
fore how well it pays to be liberal
with money in the building o:
our public highways.
