Rallr of the Pioneers. These pioneers, who are rallying today, constitute the remnant of as valiant an army of adventurers as ever braved perils by land and sea that civilization and in dustry might find a foothold In the wilder ness. Some of them left the peace and quiet of the Atlantic seaboard for the terrors of a voyage In slow-going sailing . vessels around the Horn, while others set their faces across the arid domain of the nomads of the plains. A common Im pulse moved them and a common goal was theirs. They had heard vaguely of a far country on the remote North Pacific Coast, a virgin forest which awaited the husbandman and the empire builder, and they came to build. How they came, res cued It from savagery and bullded will be recounted today and old eyes will gleam, and old hearts grow young In living again those brave old days. Death has been busy the past twejvemonth and the ranks havo been depleted, but there are many ?rho yet remain to show the beneficiaries of their good courage, what manner of men and women they were. About 25 members of the association have dlted during the past year, but Sec retary Hlmes and his assistants were busy all day yesterday enrolling the names of ellgiblcs who have not been affiliated with the association. Head quarters at the rooms of the Oregon His torical Society at the City Hall, and the . fathers and mothers of the commonwealth were there In force yesterday. The oldest In point of residence in Oregon, though very much of a youngster yet, he's only 77. is Napoleon McGHlivary, sometime French-Canadian trapper for the Hudsons Bay Company, who "pioneered" Oregon away back In '39. Mr. McGHlivary hunted and fished up and down the Columbia and Willamette when they were more remote than the Upper Nile of today, and has been a participant in all that has made the state. Mrs. Frances Klllln. a bright little woman of 92, takes precedence over all others In point of age. She might 'be 15 years younger If she had not outgrown womnnly notions as to telling her age. Sho Is still active mentally and physically and came here from Hubbard for the meeting. She has been in Oregon since '45, and expects to stay many years more. F. X. Mattnten Here. F. X. Mathleu, the last survivor of the men who organized the first provisional government In 1542, when 52 of the ad vance guard voted to organize a territory the United States and 50 cast their Xouj in opposition. It was In the days "54-49 or fight" with the prospect in i-ivor of fight, and stirring things were tfoot. He came to trap in '42 and re mained to possess the land. Survivor of 'Whitman Massacre. Mrs. Elizabeth Sager Helm, adopted daughter of Marcus Whitman, of sainted memory, and one of the few survivors of that terrible day in November, 1647, when the children of the wilderness, whom they had come to save, fell upon Dr. Whitman and his little company and killed with out mercy, is among those present. She was a young girl when the massacre oc curred, but her recollections of the In cldcnt are vivid. Fow of the pioneers are unden 70. and many of them have exceeded the Scrip tural limit of years by a decade and more. They feel that these reunions wll bo pos- slblo for only a few years more, and so they como with zest for today's meeting that they may clasp hands and renew friendships which have endured with all the varying fortunes of these many long years. They will come come again next year,, but the time Is very near when the last of the patriarchs will stand alone at the last of the reunions to bear witness of the heroic days and scenes In which he had a part and fulfilled it so well.

MEN WHO WON THE WEST Tliey Elect Officer and Hear of Propj grens In Secarlnjr "Well-Earned Pensions Difficulties Created by Red Tape and Old Asc. The grand encampment of the Indian War Veterans of the Pacific Northwest was held at Grand Army Hall yesterday. There was a large attendance of grizzled veterans, their wives and families, and PIONEER ASSOCIATION. MOREIAND. great Interest was manifested In the pro ceedings. The encampment was called to order at 10 A. M. by Grand Commander T. A. Wood, of Portland, and the invoca tion was pronounced by Chaplain H. D. Ewlng, after which the meeting was de clared open for business. On motion. It was decided to permit all veterans present to act as delegates, and the usual committees were appointed. The principal business of the meeting referred to pension matters, and the an nual report of Grand Commander Wood was devoted exclusively to a statement of what is being done to eecure Just rec ognition for the veterans from the Gov ernment. Special emphasis was given to the matter of proof of service and the difficulties which are met by the veterans. Those members who are inclined to com plain at the delay of the Pension Bureau were urged to be patient and bear In mind that Commissioner Ware must proceed cautiously and inslsUon the rules and reg- INDIAN "WAR VETERANS' OFFICERS.

The Commander characterized some of the rules as being too severe, however, and Illustrated his point as follows: "The Commissioner of Pensions of course has to guard against error. It Is said that In the past 30 or 40 years many frauds have been perpetrated In the Pen slon Office, and It has compelled the Com mlssloner of Pensions to make very rigid and exacting rules. Many of the rules that have been made seem to us who havo lived on tho frontier for more than half a century to be too severe. For Instance. Judge Lancaster, wbo died a few years ago, had he lived would now have been 100 years old. His widow, who ap plied for a pension, died a few days ago She was somewhere In the neighborhood of S3 years old. They were married years ago. The Pension Office demanded that each of them prove that they had not been previously married.

This is one of the difficult points that arc met with in tho case of widows applying for pensions. It must be proved that they were not previously married, and. If they were, to whom, when and where, and whether the former help meet has died or was divorced." After the reading of the report, 70 pen sion bills, under the recent act, were favorably passed upon by the encamp ment. Congressman-elect Binger Her mann and Adjutant-General Gantenbeln. of the Oregon National Guard, .delivered addresses at the forenoon session. After the noon adjournment the dele gates and their families sat down to an elaborate old-fashioned dinner, which was enjoyed in the old-fashioned way. The encampment again convened at 2:30 In the afternoon, and the reports of com mittees appointed at the morning session were read and adopted. Officers for the ensuing year were then elected. About 150 veterans were present, com ing from Oregon. Washington. California and Idaho. The encampment was highly successful, and a large amount of routine business was transacted. During the ses sions a number of musical selections and recitations were rendered by Miss Mar garet Gillette. The next meeting will be held here, subject to the call of the grand commander.

Portland 3Iay Get Xatlonal Conven tion of Charities and Corrections. That the National Convention of Chari ties and CorrecUons may come to Port land was the report made to the board of trustees of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. The regular monthly meeting was held yesterday afternoon In the chambers of United States Judge Gilbert. There were present: George H. Williams, president? Dr. T. L. Eliot, A. H. Brey- man, L. L. Hawkins, Judge Gilbert, Mrs. Levi White, Mrs. C. R. Templeton, Mrs. J. A. Sladen, Mrs. A. G. Barker and Superintendent Gardner. The report of the superintendent for the month of May was read, giving an inter esting account of his trip to Atlanta, Ga., to which city he was sent to attend the National ConvenUon of Charities and Cor rections, which was held from May 6 to 12. While in the East Mr. Gardner vis ited many institutions, both charitable and correctional, and learned quite a lit tle of the methods of these Institutions, and was gratified In same cases to find that the methods employed by the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society in keeping its rec ords met with such approval that some, were adopted by the large Eastern insti tutions. In choosing the next place of meeting It seemed to be the sense of the delegates that, while they would take the convention to Portland. Me., In 1904. they would be favorable to coming to Portland, Or., In 1505. MUCH-DELAYED MARKET. Flegcl'rf Opposition and Much Red Tape Stands in Its "Way. The time when It will be known whether there Is to be a city market in the place of the old Exposition building or not Is approaching. The ordinance granting a franchise to the company which desires to build the market will come up In the Council today for consideration of Mr. Flegel's proposed amendments. He Is not satisfied with the general forfeiture clause at the end of the ordinance, which provides that If any of tho provisions ot the ordinance are not compiled with the franchise shall be forfeited. He wants the forfeiture clause placed at the end of every section. Mayor Williams and some members of the Council do not deem this necessary, or any Improvement on- the Meier &.

Whether the change la made or not, it Is probable that the ordinance will be adopted today. If so. It will then be necessary to advertise it, and 20 days must elapse under the provisions of the new charter before it can be brought up for a third reading and finally passed and approved. If it is adopted today, amend ed or not, the company which proposes to build the market will commence tearing down the old building Just as soon as it is placed In possession. It is nominally empty, but some one Is still holding pos session of part of It. Bridge Question Discussed. Messrs. Goddard, MacMaster. Gllsan and. Boise, of the Executive Board, met yes terday in the office of Mayor Williams and talked over the Morrison-street bridge Question. The gathering was entirely In formal and was simply for the purpose of exchanging views. A regular business meeting will soon be held with tho officials of the City & Sub urban Railway Company to draw up an agreement between the company and tho city for the use of the structure for street- cars. The law authorizing the bridge re- quires the payment to the city of J12.C0O per annum, and the officials think this is a trifle too large. STORY OF JUDITH. Mrs. Altaian Lectures on JeTvisb. Ro mance of Apocrypha. Mrs. Altaian's lecture upon "Judith, an Apocryphal Romance," was given last night in the Selllng-HIrsch building be fore a large audience to whom the lec turer was Introduced by Benjamin I. Cohen. Mrs. Altman gave a brief oral Index of the apocrypha, the almost unknown books of the Old Testament, namely, Esdras, Tobit, Judith, the additions to the book of Esther, the wisdom of Solomon, the wisdom of Jesus the son of Sirach, or Ec cleslasticus, Baruch, the song of the three holy children, the history of Su sannah, tho history of the destruction of Bel and the Dragon, the prayer of Manasses, King of .Tudah and the first and second books of Maccabees. These books as a whole. Mrs. Altman said, are of ereat value as a chronicle of the life and thought of the early Jewish people, but the book of Judltn, wnicn was her esneclal topic last evening, she said was purely a romance, one of the few sparse blossoms In the ascetic literature of Jewish history. The great Jewish heroine has been the inspiration of painters and sculptors through many centuries. Michael Angelo and Botticelli painted her and Donatello made a magnificent bronze statue with the beautiful Judith a3 Its subject. Of this great work Mre. Altman said: "It Is no wonder that Donatello stood back and bade It speak. "Ruskln said that the finest portraiture of Judith was in the Botticelli picture. Read the book first. In full, he said, and then go to see the picture, and you will understand why he gave her gentle, flow- Meier &. Frank Company Men's Furnishings A department gain ing favor each day.

Ju dith thinks: 'My people aro delivered and by my hand.' For Judith, a beautiful widow of the tribe of Simeon, was no less the liberator of her people than Queen Esther."
