sociation upon which Charles Wick
lander made a favorable report.
Resolutions pertaining to financing
of the Moro and Pendleton experi
ment stations, with an amendment
to include the station at Hermiston,
and one opposing the omnibus bill
were passed. The resolution com
mittee's action on the report of the
committee on taxation and assess
ments, of interest to all taxpayers,
will be reported in the grange col
umn at a later date. Other resolu
tions of interest to grangers were
acted upon by the delegate body, and
a rising vote of thanks was tendered
the host grangers for their hospital
ity and generous meals.

emplified by the Pomona grange
officers to several candidates and
installation service was given to
