Oregon ploneerf thronged the Exposi tion grounds yesterday, and viewed with interest the wonderful buildings and ex hibits that have been erected In memory of the two explorers that first blazed their way from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean, and made it possible for the sturdy men of the Eastern States to cross tKe plains and settle in the great Northwest. The vast wealth and resources that are represented in the Exposition brought a full . realization to the minds of the im migrants of the 4Cs, of the part they played In the development of the three great commonwealths that were formed out of thfr territory of the "Oregon Coun try." Yesterday's gathering in the Auditorium was probably the largest meeting of pio neers that has been held for many a year. The assembly hall held the biggest crowd that has been within It doors since the opening of the- Fair, and a con servative estimate placed the number present at 15(0. The gray-haired veter ans presented a notable spectacle, as sembled as they were, to celebrate the 33d annual reunion of their association and to listen to th annual addresses of those of their number. President Goode's Address. President W. T. Wright did not arrive In time to preside over the opening cere monies, and Captain O. C. Applegate, 1S43, took his place. Captain Applegato came all the way from Klamath Falls to nartlclnate in the exercises, "with the characteristic energy of the other mem- bers of his famous family. Captain Applegate Introduced President Goorte. who welcomed the pioneers with the following words: "It has been my pleasure and privilege since the opening of the Exposition to ex tend greetings to many different gather ings, but before no audience have I felt so thrilled and satisfied as before the Pioneer Association of Oregon, which I greet today. To you I extend a hearty welcome. The Exposition la held primar ily to celebrate the discovery of this country. You pioneers of Oregon have made this Exposition possible. We have called together an exhibition of the re sources of old Oregon with other states of the Northwest. Wc have also a very fine collection from abroad, and the Gov ernment also ha.s helped by sending the finest exhibits ever shown at any Expo sition. "I wish also to compliment the State of Oregon, whieh has taken a splendid part In the Exposition and helped It by making a large appropriation to carry on the work. I trust that we shall have the pleasure of seeing you with us many times during the progress of the Exposi tion, and again I bid you welcome, thrice welcome.' Captain Applcgate's Reply. At the conclusion of Mr. Goode's re marks Captain Applegate made the fol lowing reply: "On behalf of the pioneers of the State of Oregon, we extend our thanks to President Goode for his hearty welcome to the Exposition. The pioneers these noWe men and wom en who planted hore the vanguard of civilization are entitled to a full meed of praise. Like the Pilgrims on the Eastern Coa$t. they began an empire, and are to be always remembered -with love." He then quoted a poem in praise of the pioneer spirit and the accomplishments of the founders. By this time President Wright had ar rived and took the chair. Mr. Wright told of his disappointment in not being able to bring Moses Ive to the meeting, from Eastern OregoH. Mr. Ijove Is more than 3(0 years old. and came to Oregon early In the '30s. but hi? advanced age and the fact that he Is rather infirm made' It Im possible for him to be present at the .gathering. Other Speakers of the Day. "I cannot claim much credit for myself as a sturdy pioneer and homebuilder." said President Wright, "for I was brought here. Others had made up their minds on the subject, and did hot consult my wishes. The pioneers built here three great states from the original Oregon. Country, which, when I first saw It, was nothing but jrreat forests and rolling plains. Huge standing timber covered the area of what is now Portland. Trails we?e out through the forest. These trails turned Into roads, and now -we have the I anscontinental railways. We pioneers are glad to be here, and wish to thank you for the reception we have been given." Miss Imogen Harding, of Oregon City, irreat grand-daughter of Samuel K. Bar low, -of "Barlow Road" fame, sang "Annie Laurie. and followed this with "Ben Bolt." Both selections were received with hearty appreciation by the audience. President Wright Introduced Mrs. M. L. Myrick, grand-daughter of Dr. Jobn Mc Loughlln. one of th foremost of the build ers of -Oregon. Mrs. Myrirk received a hearty welcome from the audience, many of whom were Intimately acquainted with Dr. McLaughlin, ami profited by his gen erosity and hospitality In early day. "Joe Bowers of Pike" was rtcited by ' President Wright, and the piece recalled other day. to the audience. Finally, with the music of Ike National anthem, the meeting came to a close and the veterans departed for another year. AT THE WASHINGTON BUILDING Pioneers Are Guests of Honor at the Reception. Five hundred pioneers called at the Washington building yesterday to attend a recepton held In their honor by Mrs. Ivan Chase, of Colfax, who is hostess for the week. In honor of the visitors.

J Illustrious Potentate. i 4 The local Shrine. Al Kader Temple. Is one of the largest and best-organized Shrine Temples west of Chicago. Its mem bership is made up of many of the most representative men of Oregon. Members of Al Kader Temple will act as a guard ef honor tonight in the great parade ar ranged for the benefit of the many visit ing Shrine delegations who are now In Portland. In keeping with the traditions of the Masonic order, it Is seldom lhat members of any Shrine Temple re seen on public parade. But once before In the history of the local Shrine have the members marched through the streets of Portland. The parade tonight has been arranged as an honor and a courtesy to the hundreds of visiting Shriners who wllLbe In Port land today, in addition to this, the rep resentative local Shriners, in arranging for today's events, have been prompted by a desire to contribute. In their modest way. to the features of Exposition year, features that contribute so largely to the interest and the pleasure of the many different visiting detentions that will come to the great Fair before the gates finally .close on October IS next. ii U cenerallv understood, the differ ent Shrine Temples are neither within the jurisdiction, nor under the control of any of the Masonic governing bodies of the country. The aims of Masonry generally are wholly serious. The Inspiration for accomplishment In the Shrine Is found In tho strength of the social tie that forms the links which bind together the broth erhood of man generally. The Shrine Is Masonic Just this far: only high Masons, those who have either attained the thirty second degree or the uniformed rank of the Commandery. are eligible for mem bership In the Shrine bodies. Members of the Shrine have all passed the severe ordeal of the different degrees of Masonry. The traditions and history of the Shrine are Masonic to this extent only. The pleasures of the Shrine In ceremonial ses sion are distinctively Its own. The parade tonight will be an event in the Shrine history of Portland. Chief Hunt has designated two solid platoons of mounted police, who will march with the Nobles, and who will keep order throughout the line of march. One of the three strong local bands engaged for the march will be placed Immediately. In front of tha novitiates who will brave the dangers of crossing the hot sands of the desert at tonight's ceremonial session. The Inspiring strains of the patriotic and other tuneful airs of this band will call for the rising enthusiasm of these novi tiates, as they slowly wend their way to the temple of mirth and laughter. But as the doors of the Armory close on the marching legions, and the solemn tones of that classic Ir, "There Will Be a Hot Time In te Old Town Tonight." strike the ear of the candidates, there wilt come to the minds of the reflective among tho novitiates the thought that all the se rious issues are not met In the dally walks of life: and that the rocky road to Perdition Is not the only rough path man is called upon to follow In his wander ings through the byways of this terres trial sphere, as distinguished from the promise of the celestial.
