Some history from a booklet titled Columbia Grange, 1889-1967: "In 1892 J.O. Lyle served as master and William Olson as secretary. Brothers Olson and Hewett were elected as delegates to the Klickitat Business Council. Brother J.O. Lyle and Sister VanBibber were elected to go to state session at Vancouver. Their expenses were $10.35, $9 of which was paid by the grange. The meeting date was changed to the third Saturday at 2 o'clock. Five new members were gained during the year."
"In 1893 J.O. Lyle and William Olson again served as master and secretary. The members voted in favor of holding state grange in White Salmon. Delegates to this session were J.O. Lyle and S. A Gilliam. Only four meetings were held during the year."
"In 1894 J.O. Lyle again severed as master and S. H. Miller as secretary. Brother and sister Ira B. Hewett were elected delegates to the state session which was to be held in Vancouver. It was voted to notify all granges in the county that teams of horses could be left at J. O. Lyle's or John Olson's so that grangers could take the boat to Vancouver. No through highway existed at the time. Five new members were gained during the year.
The economy is so bad that: If the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.
