A. P. Roache, the master of the State
Grange, made very graceful and compll-
meniarv response to the address of well
come, but the principal address, in point
of Importance u the work Of the grange,
was that made nv Hon. Alpha Messer, the
lecturer of the National Grange.
This address dwelt upon the history OF
the order, the amount OF good it has re-
Gently accomplished and its plans for the
future. and everybody present, when they
had listened to what was said, seemed TO
feel that they had indeed learned much
about the order which they did not know
before. Another interesting feature of
the afternoon programme was recitation
by Mrs. Z. u. Roache of the Wat5onville
Grange.
AT the evening session a very interesting
address Sas delivered by Mrs. Il. L. Wat
son of San Jose Grange on women as
Hoitculturists." A paper was also read
by b. f. Walton of Yuba CITY. president
of the Stale Fruit Exchange. and an ad-
dress was delivered by 5. 5. Goodenough,
lecturer OF the California State Grange, on
salient Points of the Grange Mission"

noon and evening, at which there will be
addresses by prominent agricnlturiSts

Unistaka, who is the nearest approach
to a beauty which the EsQuimaux village
can boast, very nearly formed the basis oil
breakfast for three hungry ostriches
yesterday morning. Nothing but the as
sistance of the trainer of the birds saved
Unistaka from an updigested grave.
A shed in the ostrich farm built up
against the fence serves as bedroom for
the "unbeautifuH birds. Unistaka
climbed up on this roof and with maidenly
trepidatiOn proceeded to fall off, thereby
disturb bing an ostrich conference beneath.
The birds dislked the interruption and
resented it by trampling with their large
splay feet upon the dy from Labrador.
Her outcries brought Lombard. the
keeper. and the OStriches were driven off,
but not until Unistaka had received
several bruises with several nasty cuts
about her face and head.
