Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-11-12

Order being present, was introduced
10y Master 4. A. Carey rs Prof. L. s.
Carr, late Of the state University.
Prof. Carr was heartily received and
responded briefly. 1t had been six
years since his last visit to Southern
California, and he was pleased to note
now the rapid strides towards material
and permanent prosperity; was pleased
to meet so many Patrons and would at
an appropriate time talk to them re-
garding the great work in which we
We're all engaged.
Master r.. A. Carey opened the
Council with brief impromptu ad-
dress, setting forth the progress of the
Order in Southern California and the
present wants of the membership; he
had represented the county in general
and his Grange in particular ut two
sessions of the state Grange; he had
urged upon the Executive Committee
of the State Grange the wants of this
section of the State, and had asked
them to take such steps as should be
deemed necessary to extend needed
help to the Patrons of Southern Cali
fornia. AS result, the State Lee
turer, J. w. A. Wright, had been sent
hither to visit the Oranges and pre-
pare them for meeting of the EXecu
tive Committee of the State Grange,
to he held soon in Los Angeles. He
recommended that the Council take
steps to lay before the Executive Com
mittee at that meeting such matters
rs should be deemed best.
Among other items of business
brought up during the morning ses-
sion was the report of the Committee
on Centennial Celebration.
J. w. A. Wright read the report of
the Committee, which stated that tif-
teen foreign countries had accepted the
invitation to make this an interna-
tional exposition as well as national
celebration, and that the prospects now
bid fair to make this Il grand sue
cess. The report urged the Council
to adapt active measures to develop
the plans now on foot in this District.
Mr.. Wright stated that the National
Grange, at it's last session had APP
pointed committee of ten to devise a
scheme for having the agricultural in
terests of the country properly repre-
sented at that Exposition Mr.. Wright
represented California on that COM
mittee. The State Grange had APP
pointed committee of five to see that
the interests of California were prop
erly cared for. VIM. Porter of Flor
ence Grange, represented Southern
California on that committee. All
the State Oranges had taken hold of
the work. This was the first Council
in the State to assist in the work, as it
had been the first to move in several
other matters of Importance.
The Committee on Guide-boards
made verbal report of progress, to
the effect that the Board of Supervis-
ors had ordered guide-boards as re-
quesied to be placed at various june
tions and turns of roads; such guide
boards would give directions but not
distances. tt.el
At 1890, pending the discussion of an
important question which we are not
permitted here to chronicle, the Mas
ter announced that the Patrons of
Compton had prepared feast on an
extensive table spread just outside
the gate, and that q motion to adjourn
for one hour to partake of the repast
would be in order. In II twinkling
parliamentary rules were laid aside
and hungry set of Changers were do
ing justice to finely prepared feast.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Council re-assembled at 1880.
Much work of private nature was
transacted during this session which
it is not proper to give to the public.
The same reason also cuts short
our report Of the morning proceed
ings. .eI III.
A committee of four consisting of
]. e. McComas, Milton Thomas, j. II.
Gordon and Il. A. Carey was appoint
ed to cooperate with the Immigra-
tion Committee appointed by the
State Grange and take such steps as
should be deemed necessary to secure
immigration to Southern California.
AT o'clock Professor e. S. Carr adj
dressed the Council in very able
manner. Much of his speech was of a
character not to be given to the public
and nothing short of a verbatim re-
port would do justice to the occasion.
Prof. Carr won hosts Of friends on
this occasions, and every Patron pres
ent felt that our Oranges had done but
simple justice in standing by him in
his late unpleasantnesS with the Re-
gents of the State University.
State Lecturer j. w. A. Wright
then addressed the Council on mat
ters OF private interest to the Patrons,
after which the Council adjourned.
An evening session was also held.
At o'clock Mr.. Wright addressed q
public meeting, and at s O'clock an
other address was given to the MEM
bers of the Order, but our reporter did
not remain to the evening meetings.
