Linn County Council P. of IL.

Saturday, June 4, 1898, was a typic..l
day for this loveliest month Of the year.
Floods OF golden sunshine, blue sky
| over head, air redolent with the pei fume
of roses and other sweet flowers, and vo.
cal with the songs Of birds. It saddened
|us that we could not take in the full
measure of these glories, view agsin the
many fields that We saw moath ago on
our trip to Halsey, many OF them much
more inviting than at that time, because
made green by the springing up OF the
then newly Gown grain now promising an
abundant harvest, Most Of all did we
regret because We had to forego the
pleasure Of meeting with brothers and
siters In the Business Council held with
Ohsrity Grange, 25 miles away. and,
which unavoidable circumstances pre-.
vented our attending, and viewing one OF
the arrest portions of our beautiful Will
lamette valley. A good brother having
furnished US the notes Of the meeting.
we gladly ill the mission to which We
were elected.
Council was called TO order by Vice.
president Alfred Morgan, of Tangent; a
was sung by the grange choir and prayer
offered by the acting chaplain, Austin
Bond
Then followed roll of delea ates and
reading OF minutes by Mise Eliza Scott,
secretary OF the council.
Oranges represented were Charity,
Grand Prairie, Halsey. Oak Plain and
Tangent.
The distance of the meeting place from
most Of the oranges and the exciting
scenes attending the last days OF the pol
iticai campaign, largely account for the
smaller representation than usual.
OF COMMITTEES appointed TO visit other
oranges, the one to Harrisburg grange
reported mission fulfilled.

Then followed Q very interesting &C.
count OF State Grange work by past Sec
retsry II Scott which was broken into
by the welcome announcement that din.
ner was ready.
Along this line ''Charity neyerfaileth"
