This is Pioneer Day for Union county. At Imblerwill gather several . hundred who came here many yeaiB ago, after long Journeys occupying tnore than six months battling with the elements as well as the Indians. Just why many of these noble men and women left all that was dear, to cast their lot in a fur away country is a matter that is difficult for the present generation to logically figure out, but impelled by that ever restless pioneer adventurous spirit that has prevailed as far as the records of his tory chronicles, these early pioneers Dot only saved "tliis laud from becom ing a portion of Great Britain, but paved the way for the thousands that followed their blazed trail, to make comfortable homes, build cities, and make possible, our present day clvlll tatfon. It is fitting that these early pioneers, their descendants . and friends meet annually to talk over the eventful days of the building or the foundation of this great commonwealth. r . IMBLER CO Jl (PLATE. C ' ' . (Continued from nag 1.) . .program was late In getting started. When the extraordinary large crowd from La Grande arrived, waiting auto mobiles and! carriages whisked the guests to' the Bingham grove a half mile away where lunches were served, to the merry melodies of the Elgin band. Imbler liberality flowed unre stricted, and comments were heard on very side for the smooth and ma chine like precision which the big gathering was moved and entertained. The crowd is ' much greater than usual, thanks to La Grande, which sent fJarly 200 alone. Columns would be required to depict and picture the scenes on every hand. Trail blazers from remote corners Who see each other but once a year. I'ioneer duy, have a peculiarly affec tionate greeting, and It Is almost pa thetic to listen to the stories they tell and witness the warm review of the many things which (they have in common.

Speeches from pioneers and solos were methods of entertaining t he visitors this morning. J. H. Kiue bart the prominent pioneer and Dur ham Wright of Cove, spoke. Mr. Klne hart's address will he published In full in the Observer In n l:itr Wwie. A solo by Mrs. HnUlson d.liv.l.ti'd the guests. An u musical feature wns the male ttmrtet by Wade Brooks, i Frhiik fihoomnker, Mr. hid lugs and Frank Woodell. T'ie provTiim this afternoon hinged about the C. K. Coi h . ran address this afternoon. Arrhul Bcluji 1. Arrival was delayed from west and : east tnds of the county due to the fact that Elgin's large delegation v;is , without means of transportation and i the O. It. & N." condescendingly per mitted a special train from there. The Joseph train crew ran to El gin bringing that crowd to Imbler and then came to La Grande to make up the regular Joseph train. It was 10:40 when the train left La Grande. The thousand mark has been reach ed but once lo the history of the as- sociation and the tion is highly pleased with the atten dance. Imbler has seldom if ever bad a larger concourse than today. Imbler and Elgin ball teams played during the afternoon, giving variety to the program.
