at the Commercial Club, given by Mr. F.

who founded The Daily Oregonian and
who continues to direct its destinies. A
loving-cup was presented to Mr. Plttoclt
by all the employes of The Oregonian
and Telegram as a tribute of love, con
fidence and respect.
Never before did the banquet hall of
the Commercial Club ring with gaiety,
good fellowship and cheer exceeding that
which marked the assemblage of em
ployes from the various departments of
both newspapers. Even the office boys
were there.
There was but one sad moment. Re
sponding to the toast to the departed
editor, H. W. Scott, who governed the
editorial policy of The Oregonian for
years, all the employes stood with bowed
head as Mr. Leadbetter spoke and at
the close raised their glasses In unison
in memory of the absent leader.
, Loving Cup Presented.
Referring feelingly to his own asso
ciation with Mr. Pittock, C. A. Morden,
assistant manager of The Oregonian, on
behalf of the employes, presented the
loving-cup to Mr. Pittock.
"Mr. Pittock." aald Mr. Morden, "you
are being congratulated today on your
achievement of 60 years ago, in found
ing The Daily Oregonian, and during
the intervening years guiding Its desti
nies and creating the powerful and
prosperous Institution of today. I de
sire, however, to refer to your close per
sonal relations and contact with your
office family.
"Fifty years ago the number was
small compared with today. Though
the number has so greatly Increased the
bond of respect and affection Is as great
today aa then. It la my pleasing privi
lege, on behalf of all gathered here, as
a token of their loyal devotion, to present
to you this1 loving cup."
"I suppose that means that I've got
to say something?" said Mr. Pittock,
when Mr. Morden had finished speak
ing. Mr. Pittock Cheered.
"I guess it does." said Mrs. Pittock
smiling. Mrs. Pittock, occupied a seat
at her husband's right at the ban
quet. As he arose, the assembly Joined in
singing, "For He's a Jolly Good fel
low," which was followed by vehement
applause.
Mr. Plttock's reference to his asso
ciates and employes as "fellow work
men," again brought forth vociferous
applause, reflecting the bond of sympa
thy and good feeling that exists be
tween the head of the newspaper and
those assisting him In his work.
At times aa he spoke Mr. Plttock's
voice quivered with emotion. He ex
pressed the pride he felt In seeing the
success of his enterprise manifested
in the presence of so many members of
my family," as he affectionately re
ferred to the assembly.
He was profuse In his thanks to
the donors of the cup and said that it
pleased him greatly to know that those
who worked with him and for him did
Dot consider him a hard taskmaster.
"Friends and fellow workers," said
Mr. Pittock. "This is the happiest day
of my life except my wedding day.
Tou can hardly understand how great
a pleasure It Is to me to be here on
this occasion and how much I thank
you for the appreciation you have
shown In giving this beautiful loving
cup and In your attendance here. I am
proud especially to note here the vast
size of my family. In the beginning
we numbered only about half a dosen
who did the work upon the paper you
see before you. (Referring to fac
simile of first Issue of The Dally Ore
gonian.) "I am proud to think of the mighty
progress made by the modest paper I
started at that time. I bad then no
Idea It would grow to such great mag
nitude. I am proud and glad of an
other thing that among the large
number present there are at least four
who were with me almost at the be
ginning. I think that fact shows that
I have not been a hard taskmaster.
(Applause.) I am proud also to know
that among tha people who have been
with me thera are many who have
passed out into wider fields of labor
soma In the state, others in the Nation.
