TREKKERS TO THE WEST, WKI.COME
At Riverside Park todtiy there congregated a galaxy of men
and women-who have never attained fame as movie stars or
ltd fiifhioniil'le cotillions in the ball rooms of the idle rich, yet
they are stars of the first magnitude. They are the trekker.s
who mit their 0'"-' to - the setting- sun as fur back us
I8li2 and followed the elusive' rays to the Grande Ronde valley
They came fruit lowu, Illinois, Maine and New York, and else
where they eame because of an inborn national trait, to con
quer the unknown. July Fourth, 1802, saw a band of stalwart
Americans gathered about their prairie schooners to commem
orate the noted day at a point about where the Old Town Store
now !., and on that occasion and others just before and im
mediately after, was laid the fountain-head 'of citizenship rep
resented at today's meeting.
Today's gathering of the early settlers has its distressing
aspect, for the ranks of yester-year are thinning. Several
familiar faces of a year ago are no more. Yet, that Is but the
law of the Grout Maker of us all, and must not unduly depress
us today, for we celebrate an event that only a scattering few
are here to picture for we who came later. Some day, and that
not far hence, (nullifications for the Pioneer Class must raise,
for pioneers there will always be, in a loose sense of the word.
Today, "pioneeiV implies those who first settled here, or were
early .arrivals in the progress of civilization and development;
tomorrow, it will mean he who has long sojourned in the Grande
Ronde valley, whether he came in 'G2 or '82 or 1002. Hut, be
that as it may, the unblemished, true blue pioneer is still with
us and he and his wife are at the Park today having a good timi,
May there 'be many more reunions, and may these heroic ranks
tli in slowly.
There is fomething fascinating, to the younger, generation,
in the very atmosphere of a man who measured the diKtanre
from the Mississippi to the Grande Ronde' in weary footsteps
' and the slow turn of the ox. drawn wheel, for we think of the
fast Pullman, with its parlor luxuries, and try in vain to contrast
it with the rough and rugged hardships of the early-day trek
ker. It can't be done by anyone but the man and women who
Imve journeyed in yesterday's crude way and today's luxur
iant ctise.
I.u Grande fi'joys these annual affairs we want them, and
we trust the pioneers want us.
HOME MISSIONARY CALL ACUTE
That there are two children of public school age outside of
any Sunday school, to each one of similar age within the Sun
day scnool of La Grande, was a chance but startling remark
dropped by Rev. James Aikin Smith at a joint Children's Day
exercise at the Presbyterian church last Sunday evening. That
being true, and the reverend spoke from the authority of care
fully compiled figurse, home missionary calls are acute. -It
must be assumed as a premise in the case that religious training
Is fully as important us sexular education and for that reason
there can be no. argument about the need of missionary propa
gntida'iivl'a Grande. The manner of bringing it about is for
those 'who sliidy and fathom religious missions' to determine;
yet, all the n;hlttC;hc,,o(, commonplace interest in the religious
future of La Grande and Union comity cannot ignore or fail to
appreciate the- seriousness of a condition of this sort. H leads
one to the eonchiFion that, foreign missions are being over-emphasized
at the expense of our own dooryards.

provides for Ktorae reKulatlous
which would not permit storage in

about a year ago. but n snag was1
struck when the (inesLlou as to who-j

should come under the restrictions
laid down.
An ordinance providing for the

those who collect fees for hauling,

i untamed an emergency clause and
was passed lo Its third reading.
A not Iter ordinance passed to
Its third reading al last night's

The amount., wus fixed at $25 fur
