ASH SWALE GRANGE
Good Meeting Held and Organ
ization Said to Be in Ex
cellent Shape.
Editor of Democrat:
On Saturday, Feb. 15th, I visited
Ash Swale Grange which is located
about half way between Shedd and
Brownsville. This Grange was organ
ized six years ago and has prospered
fairly well; there is one thing which
makes against them and that is they
have to meet in the Ash Swale school
house, and are badly cramped for
room.
The attendance was not large. A
fine luncheon was served at noon and
the hour was spent in social enjoy
ment. The question of destroying
noxious weeds such as Canada thistle,
black mustard, French pink and other
kinds of useless things which grow in
the fields was discussed at length, also
field mice, gophers and rats which are
in abundance all over the country.
The question was continued for fur
ther discussion.
The master, Fred Harrison, is rap
idly becoming proficient in his work.
The secretary, Mrs. Pearl Trout
man, has made a very efficient offi
cer, but for the last few months she
has been unable to attend to her
duties on account of sickness.
There are thirty members on their
roll book, and others are asking for
admittance.
They have erected one of the best
sheds for their teams of any grange in
Linn county. This is also used by
the school children who come from a
distance.

Among the physicians to locate in
Albany recently, is Dr. George E.

FAIR THIS FALL
County School Superintendent
Gives Results of Similar
Fair Last Year.
AIM TO BRING SCHOOL AND
HOME CLOSER TOGETHER
Six Hundred Dollars in Prizes
Offered by Association for
Show in September.
The plendid success of the indus
trial school fairs which were held at
Albany and Scio last year and the in
creasing interest being taken by both
parents and children in the work, has
resulted in the decision to hold an
even greater fair along the same lines
this year, probably during the month
of September. County School Supt.
Jackson, to whom much of the success
of last year's fair belong, has the fol
lowing to say to the citizens of Linn
county on this subject:
To the Citizens of Linn County:
".Last year a large number of the
boys and girls of the county, in addi
ction to learning many valuable things
in school, took an active part in the
industrial contest in gardening, poul
try, mechanical and industrial work in
the home, encouraged through the
school.
"As a result of their labor one of
the best exhibits of its character, per
haps, ever prepared in Linn county
was presented to the public. This
work in many of the most progressive
states has become part, of the school
system and has greatly increased the
wealth of the state and the efficiency
of its citizens.
"We can do the same in Oregon.
Our past experience has been en
couraging. However, we solicit, the
support of every citizen, at this time,
in the development of this work.
"It is evident that the prime object
of this movement is to teach the ris
ing generation to respect labor, to use
their hands as well as their minds, to
make practical application of the
things learned in books and to become
more useful men and women.
"In order to encourage this work at
home, to bring the home and the
school closer together and to lead
them to appreciate country life, and
believing that the country, especially
in Linn county, is one of the best
places in the world for the boys and
girls to reach the highest develop
ment, we are preparing to hold an in
dustrial fair in connection with the
Linn County Fair to be held the last
week in September.
"At this fair the children may exhib
it the best of what they have raised
or made. The co-operation of the
parent will help to solve the problem
of finding profitable work for the
town boy and girl as well as for the
country children. A new feature of
the fair of this year is the prizes
awarded for work done in the school,
such as drawing and mechanical work,
also prizes on each of the leading
breeds of poultry.
"For the contest the children will
be divided into' two classes, those
twelve years and older and those un
der twelve years of age. Three prizes
will be offered on each product ex
hibited. The Linn County Fair As
sociation has offered $600 in cash
prizes and, five thousand copies of the
prize list, now being printed, will be
sent out to the schools in the near
future. Several local fairs may be
held prior to the county fair provided
proper arrangements can be made.
"Again soliciting the encouragement
and support of the public for a greater
school fair, I beg to remain,
"Very truly,
"V. L. JACKSON,
"County School Supt."

TO 0. P.
Banquet Held at St. Francis
Hotel Last Evening' Was
Well Attended.
TRIBUTE WAS PAID TO
THE PAST GRAND MASTER
J. K. Weatherford Acted As the
Toastmaster; Host Is Given
Tremendous Ovation.
Never has a former officer of St.
John's Lodge received a greater ova
tion than that accorded to David P.
Mason, past grand master of the Ma
sonic Lodge of Oregon, at a ban
quet by him tendered to the past
masters of the local organization at
the .St. Francis hotel last evening.
Over thirty former masters of the
local lodge were seated at the banquet
board when called to order by Hon.
J. K. Weatherford who acted as toast
master. Asserting that their host had al
ways been a useful citizen; that he
had reflected credit upon the order
with which he has been connected
during the greater portion of his life
and that he stands first among the
members of St. John's Lodge, all of
the speakers paid an eloquent and
glowing tribute to the past grand
master of the Masonic Lodge of this
state.
In a few well chosen words Mr.
Mason thanked the members of the
Masonic lodge for their generous sen
timents and the honors which had
been conferred upon him.
The banquet tables were artistically
decorated witht beautiful floral pieces
and the ten course dinner served by
the management of the St. rancis was
one of the most elaborate ever served
in this city.
The invitations were limited to past
masters of St. John's lodge.
REVERE HOTEL TO CONTINUE
TO OPERATE IN HUB CITY
Will Be Conducted on European
Plan; The Rooms Will Be
Remodeled Soon.
Editor Democrat:
The old homelike Revere House,
which for thirty-five years has shel
tered and fed the traveling public,
hit;) and humble, so satisfactorily, will
be closed, or deserted, as as evening"
paper puts it, tor a short time only.
For as soon as men and money
can do it, the rooms on the second
and third floors will be entirely reno
vated, papered and tinted, refurnished
and put in first-class shape for hotel
purposes to be conducted on the Eu
ropean plan.
This means that you can secure a
neat, homelike room at a moderate
price and get your meals at a res
taurant or cafeteria, order what you
want and pay for what you get.
A hotel conducted on the European
plan is something Albany has needed
for a long time, for the traveler will
not be compelled to pay fancy prices
for his accommodations. The Revere
House with its brick annex contains
many pleasant bay window rooms and
when remodeled will be second to
none in the valley.
The first floor of the large struc
ture will be converted into modem
business rooms with plate glas3 fronts.
The entire building is under lease for
a term of five year;.
That the Revere I louse will not be
closed for good, will be glad news
for its old patrons, many of whom
will continue to make their home at
this popular hotel. Rooms will also
be let to permanent roomers.
