Grangers Remain in Session
All Night to Complete Work
of 4 Days Meeting.
ALL DELEGATES HAVE
DEPARTED FOR HOMES
Many Resolutions Were Left
Over Until Next Annual
Meeting at Monmouth.
The Oregon State Grange ad
journed its annua convention here
this morning at 3 o'clock alter remain
ing in session nearly all night to
wind up the business of the four days
of the convention. All of the dele
gates who were here attending the
meeting have been leaving all morning
tor their homes.
The delegates passed the entire af
ternoon on an excursion to Corvallis
to visit the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, and when .they convened last
night's session a iarge amount of un
finished business faced them. There
were mi many more proposals to
change the by-laws introduced this
year than .at any former session, and
the debate these proposals dieted on
the floor of the grange consumed so
much time that it left a vast amount
of business to dispose of.
Most of the forenoon session was
passed in discussing proposed changes
in the Grange by-laws. The principal
change considered was to increase
the quarterly dues from subordinate
Granges to the state Grange from 15
cents per capita to 25 cents per capita,
and this proposal was rejected by a
strong negative vote after a discus
sion which is reported tr have become
somewhat heated at times.
In opposition to the resolution ask
ing the Grange to go on record as
against the referendum on the uni
versity appropriation, another was in
troduced yesterday morning favoring
the referendum, and now the friends
of the first one are making efforts to
kill the two resolutions in committee
and prevent their being reported back.
A resolution to come up favors the
first, second and third choice votes
in the election of United States sen
ators and state o'fficers. Another res
olution was introduced favoring the
abolition of the legislature, but it was
not adopted.
