"WW" ' dial PABST B L U E R BEST OF THE BETTER PIONEER DAY AT THE PARK BIG SUCCESS (Continued Rom Page on) . the Appalachians ana settled In Ken tucky, Tennessee and the Mississippi valley. The third period extended from Jackson down to the trek of the pioneers to Oregon and the great northwest. Ninety years ago the first settlers left their Missouri homes for this country and according ,to the speaker's reckoning, 00 years ago yes terday, they were camped somewhere near (he great divide.. It was 80 years ago, he recalled, that 10,000 of them died of small pox on.he plains. The response was given . by Uncle Dunham Wright and his hearers mar velled at the Omental alertness and physical strength of this 02-year-old pioneer, whose name is so. closely linked with the history of the Grande Ronde valley and the larger Union county, as well as the entire state of Oregon In wh'ose legislature he ser ved when a young man of 30 years. Contrasting this valley with other sections of the .country and with other countries, in the matter of dis asters and catastrophes during the past twelve-months Mr. Wright sketched something of the way In which we got this country. Sulem Man Speaks Tho third and last speaker was "ToS" Rhlnehart, of Salem, who Is spending the summer In the valley and who, perhaps, retains as many friendships and acquaintances as any other former resident. Not-a pioneer himself, he reoalls the story of pio neer days as told him by his father and mother who made the, perilous Journey west. The saddle on which his mother rode for hundreds and hundreds of miles she had fashioned herself, and she was obllgedto swim the Deschutes river near the rapids. Recalling that the debt to the first pioneers was one which 'could never be paid, Mr. Rhlnehart pleaded that they be-extended all the kindness, courtesy, consideration and attention that was possible. After a ' tribute to the' memory of the late Mrs. Mattle Golden, who was secretary of the organization for IS years and whose death occurred the day following last year's meeting, Mr. Reynolds adjourned the meeting until the thlrdi Thursday of July, 1934. . Sume Who Attended While It is impossible, of course, to mention all those who came into the valley for the annual meeting, we note a few of those who were special guests. , William Ellis, transfer . and coal dealer of Baker, contributed a great deal to the sociability ok. the meet ing. Given a first scanning glance then a "why, it's Willie Eljlsl" pio neers recalled that his father, a Bap tist minister was one of trie, first circuit riders in the valley and ser ved the people as such for a period of 30 years. .1 Newton A.

From comments heard about the park, Mr, Rhlnehart must have gone to school with most of those present at the picnic. . His home was in the north end of the valley. Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Merwln, pio neer residents of Baker and Union counties, were brought from Baker by Mrs. Lee Stewart by motor to at tend the annual meeting.
