YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS OF THE
NATIONAL GRANGE.
Interesting Reports From the State
Granges-The Coming Receptions
Standing Committees.

the National Grange excursions to be given
| to give the Californians information as
early as possible as TO time when the ses-
| sion would adjourn, so that the Patrons in
the different parts of the State who are pre-
pairing for the reception of our Eastern
guests may know at what time to expect
their presence. The speaker cordially re-
marked that the Patrons of California de-
sired to receive their guests at their own
homes to show them their stock, their
farms, products, and to give them as reliable
information as possible of the real agricult-
ural resources of our golden State.
Upon the roll-call of States prospective
large amount of business was presented for
| the consideration of the body during the
| session.
| The reports of the Masters of the different
State Oranges was continued from the
previous day. The report of Illinois was
very interesting one, and showed how the
| number of Oranges in that State had been
| increased by active house to house can
wasting.
The report Of Ohio made fine showing
for that State, large number of Oranges
having been organized.
| The report of the Pennsylvania State
| Grange showed most prosperous condi-
| ton of affairs. That Grange had paid in
| fees for charters $500 during the year, and
| a total amount of 81. 147 45 to the National
Grange. 1t had prevented the repeal of
the oleomargarine law, but failed to carry
the Dressed Meat Act, although they should
| try it again. The cooperation business
had proved most beneficial, The Grange
| inspection service, although not long in
use, worked well. They had expended
| over S., 900 during the year in the interests
of the Order. The State Grange had started
with a debt of $13, 600, and their Patrons
had come forward and put their names
| down for sums enough to cover it all, and
in five years the entire debt was paid off.
| The Williams Grove interstate picnics had
been of great benefit in increasing their
membership and awakening an interest in
| the Order.
| After some discussion, motion to ad-
journ the session finally next Wednesday
| evening was made and carried.
| A telegram was read from the Farmers
National Congress, Montgomery, Ala,
| offering greeting and congratulations, and
a response was ordered.
| An invitation from the State Mining
| Bureau was received and referred to the
| Entertainment Committee, as the proper
parties to state when it could be accepted.
At the evening session of the Grange the
reading of the annual reports of Masters
was concluded. The report of the Chap
I lain, A. ]. Rose, of Texas, was also read.
The Executive Committee presented their
report which was read and action thereon
| deferred. This report, which covers many
| pages of foolscap, deals with the tare on
cotton bagging, which the Grange has been
endeavoring to have reduced from six per
cent. to four per cent.
The correspondence that has passed be-
| tween the committee and the various for
eign exchanges in regard to the matter, is
| included in the report. The committee be-
heve that reduction will be made in the
tare. The report concludes with finan-
cial statement, which shows that the Grange
is in very hourishing condition.
The session closed to meet at P. NJ. to-
day. This long adjournment was taken in
order to give the various committees time
| to perform their work, and also for the
further purpose of allowing the delegates
to visit the Art Gallery.
