The 34th annual session of the Ore
gon State Grange will convene at
Hood River Tuesday, May %, 1907, ct
10 o'clock a. m. The session will con-
tinue four days, closing Friday night,
the 31st. The degrees Of Pomona and
Flora will be conferred Wednesday
evening, and 1t Is probable that ar
rangements will be- made to have the
suboi dinate degrees exemplitied by
trained team on Friday evening, at
which time the winners in the State
Grange contests will also be announc-
cd and the prizes awarded.
The local oranges are making ex-
tensive arrangements In order to en-
tertain their guests. The Hood River
delegation promised the State Grange
year ago that II they would vote to
hold the present session of the state
gathering in Hood River, that we
would give them all the lucious straw
berries and cream that they could
eat, and also give them free ride
over the valley.
At a recent meeting Of the local ex-
ecutive committee 1t was decided to
engage the Odd Fellows hall tor the
sessions and sufficient straw berres for
the banquet even il they would cost
$40 per crate Arrangements are now
being made to take the visiting dele
cation out over the valley on the Mt.
Hood railroad. 1t has been proposed
to convey them as fan as Odell and
then permit them to stop off at any OF
the way stations to view the orchards.
1t has also been suggested that the
guests be taken to the summit of the
Van Horn butte and permitted to see
the beautiful valley in it's entirety.
A committee of IL has been appoint
ed to act in the capacity of reoep-
tion committee to meet the trains and
escort the delegates to the various
hostelries. Special rates have been Sc
cured at all Of the hotels, and as there
will be several hundred delegates in
attendance their capacity will be
taxed to the utmost.
| The coming session OF the state
grange will undoubtedly be the larg-
est gathering that has ever been held
In the city. 1t win behoove every cit
izen to be most liberal with his cour-
tesies In order to entertain this large
delegation.
