HAYEs's ADDRESS.
Music preceded the annual address
delivered by H. Il Hayes, master of
the state grange. He outlined the
happy and prosperous condition Of
the Oregon producer as compared
with the producer in sections eli
nIatically more vigorous. He lauded
the organization of the grange,
showing the good and benefits de-
rived. The growth of the grange
was also shown. He recommended
more vigorous prosecution of the
extension of the grange and its
effects. He spoke of the rapid ad-
vance made by the State Agricult-
ural college and its splendid work.
ing system now in vogue. He spoke
also in praise of the state weather
bureau and its good effect, its CO.
operative benefits, its report and the
work done by 1t. Free coinage of
silver was given a favorable notice.
The loaning of money on farm
values at 2 per cent was urged. and
contracted currency was declared to
be ill in its effects. He asserted
that though the grange was not or
ganized to enter into political par
ties, yet for the good, the prosperity
and the success of the farmers, he
deemed it advisable to take a hand
in the creation of a party that would
further the interests of the farmers,
and not trust to the promises of old
parties.
The citizens of Hillsboro are ex-
tending to the visiting grangers
their utmost courtesy. A grand
ride will be given to the visiting
