Pomona Grange
Well Entertained

The entertainment OIL DdIuell
Pomona Grange by the Clear
Creek Valley Grange Saturday
was hospitable and pleasant in
every way and though the atten-
dance was not as large as could
have been wished, the program
was none the less interesting and
profitable.
The forenoon was given over
to fourth degree business and
matters of interest were dis
cussed. Worthy Master Everitt
occupied the chair and the other
officers were nearly all present.
The ladies of Clear Creek Val
ley Grange served a wonderful
repast both at noon and night in
Grange hall, which was taken
advantage of by a number of
townspeople.
In the afternoon a splendid
program was listened to under
direction of Lecturer Swaize,
consisting of a piano selection by
Miss Ethel APPEL, violin solo by
Clifford Null and vocal solo by
Miss Elsie APPEL, accompanied by
Miss Ethel APPEL on the piano and
Clifford Null on the violin.
The literary and musical num-
bers interspersed addresses by
Hons. Jas. R. Killian, l.. S.
Twitchell, and assistant Attorney
General Montgomery. Thes e
gentlemen were not only humor-
GUS and highly entertaining
speakers but quite instructive.
Acknowledgement Fred Farror
being unable to attend, sent his
assistant, Mr.. Montgomery,
These were followed by Mr..
Hoover, who represents the beet
sugar interests who showed that
he was we'll posted in his line of
business and gave the audience
some sidelight information on
the effects of the tariff on raw
sugar. While according TO bis
statements, which he asserted
were free from political bias,
the cane sugar interests are reap
ing a rich harvest from a reduc-
ton in the tariff, he maintains
an optimistic poise as to the Col
orado beet industry and advises
the farmers to look into the mat
ter carefully with a view toward
promulgating the industry to a
still greater degree.
At the close of his remarks AS
SCISSOR Rhea made a heroic appeal
to the Changers to carefully in
vestigate the matter of single
tax in order u act intelligently
with reference to the referendum
petition that is being talked of for
circulation before the fall cam
paign. Mr.. Rhea had no hes
itancy in saying that he opposed
it and gave his reasons, which
were based on the fact that if
the single tax system is adopted
it will mean a contiscation of
lands, as the money derived from
improvements now would have
to be derived from lands then.
Quite a lively discussion fol-
lowed led by Mr.. Grafton, and it
was decided to have the subordin-
ate oranges secure debators who
are posted on these subjects.
In the evening the hall was
packed to listen to the lecture
and see the pictures produced by
Prof. Stanly McGinnis, who is in
charge of the Colorodo exhibit at
the San Francisco Exposition.
The pictures both motion and
stereopticon were full of inter-
est and information conserving
the Panama canal and the EX-
position. Mr.. McGinis is a boost
err for Colorado and if he has his
way Colorado will be represented
at the fair in great shape.
The ladies' of Clear Creek Val
ley Grange are to be especially
commended for the abundant
supply of well cooked and well
seasoned victuals which were
served to our visitors. as every
one was loud in their praise of
the repast and the splendid spirit
of hospitality that greeted them.
The work of preparing such a
meal in Grange hall, which pro-
vides no Accommodations whatso-
ever, can well be appreciated.

danes Lena Holloway, Clara APPEL
