At th meetins; In the afternoon at

of his deceased college chum; Unci
John Mlnto told about the first rose
bush ever planted in Oreiron. at tha
mission near Chemawa. how be. later
boucht the land on which it stood, then
divided the roots and cutting and sent
them to various parts of the Northwest,
thus making our rose shows possible.
And Unci John was the first presl
. jat of tha original agricultural so
ciety, which later developed Into the
Oregon Agricultural College. Ha told
of the first fair held, the scene being
on the banks of the Willamette, near
Oregon City, at which be exhibited a
lot of fine aheep.and tok prises
amounting to 10 la gold.
Uncle John was sn bubbling; ovr
with Joy that h broke Into tha, pro

and made a speech not down on tha
programme. Over and over he repeated
I may never sea you again." And that
waa a remark often heard, a parting
sentence often listened to "I may
never you again." The pity of It!
And yet when tha drath list la read
next year many of those, who were so
sprightly yesterday will be sleeping tha
long sleep.

The orator of tha day was Senator
Miller, of Lebanon, and he made a

The Senator la a fine talker,
a real orator, but he quit outdid him

many of hla auditors In tears. Not
bitter rVer or sorrowful, but tears of
joy. And his compliments to the
ladies, the wives and mothers and
daughter who crossed tha plains to
make thla commonwealth a reality.
wera received with vociferous cheers.
Ho much so that even Mother Duniway
cama forward at the close of the
speech and had tha audience extend a
vote f thanka to the Senator.
After tha ceremonlea at the hall cama
tba dinner, or rather the banquet, at
the Armory, and such a crush has sel
dom been seen at that place. There
wera III tables and each table seated
S3, or 124v In all. Every aeat waa
taken, some of them for tha aecond and
third time, ao there wera some 1S00
or 1009 who partook of tha good things
provided. But there was enough and to
spare, for Mrs." Cartwrlght. president
, of tha Women's Auxiliary, and Mrs.
Ktllln. In charge of the tables, and the
. :0 ladles who waited upon the guests,
knew from experience that there would
be great appetites to be appeased.
Noisy Gaiety Travails.
And perhaps this banquet was tha
most enjoyable affair of all. It waa
. rather nolT. The guests wera like a
1 lot of school children out on a picnic.
They all talked at once. They laughed
and Jokeil and cried. They told
stories, recounted the old days, went
over the old scene were tha same
young people who Journeyed acrosa tba

Contagious Blood Poison is responsible for a great many old blood
troubles, such as scrofulous affections, skin eruptions, catarrhal troubles,
Rheumatism, ulcerating sores, etc. There is no such thing as ridding
the system of these effects by killing the poisonous germs. Any med
icine powerful enough to accomplish this would also destroy many of
the delicate linings and tissues, and wreck the constitution. The only
way to cure old blood troubles is to REMOVE the cause from the circu
lation, and for this purpose nothing is equal to S. S. 5. It goes into i the
blood, and drives out every taint and poison, and makes this vital fluid
pure, rich and nourishing. 5. 5. 5. has long been known as the greatest
of all blood purifiers and many thousands have rid themselves of old
blood diseases by its use. It ALWAYS removes the impurity from the
blood. Book on the blood and medical advice free to all. S. S. 5. is for

Songs and dialogues In the Chinook
jargon, talks reminiscent of the early
daya In Oregon, selections by the Vet
eran Quartet and the Chinook "Choir
and old-time music by pioneer fiddlers
combined last night to make the social
session of the members of the Oregon
Pioneer Association, at the Masonlo
Temple, one of the most enjoyable fea
tures of the annual gathering of the
old-timers.
The Chinook Choir, led by Cyrus H.
Walker, of Albany, born In Oregon In
1838, gave two numbers which made an
Immense hit. They were the Chinook
translations of the hymns. "Heaven,"
and "Earth and Heaven," and they were
sung to the tunes or "Come thou
Fount" and "There's a Happy Land."
Mr. Walker added to the effect by
emitting a serles'of blood-curdling In
dian war-whoops.
"Kloshe tum-tum, hi-yu wa-wa, hi-yu,
he-he, hy-as ahn-kut-tl 11-11-hee." which
Is Chinook for "Good heart, lots of talk
and lots of laughter about old times."
was the motto which Secretary Hlmes
placed at the top of the printed pro
grams and it well describes the social
gathering. "
"Fiddlers Make Hit.
Mrs. S- J. Anderson. 1847; D. C. Rowers,
1852. and 11. M. Jackson. 1S52, old-timer
fiddlers, played old-time music on old
time Violins and brought down the
house. They played the selections to
which the pioneers In their youthful
davs, B0 years ago, used - to "trip the
light fantastic." One could almost hear
the prompters say. "Balance all on tho
corners, right hand lady and grand right
and left."
The Veteran quartet, composed of W.
N. Morse, H. P. Bestow, A. W. Mills and
Z. N. Parvin, sang "In Grand Old Ore
gon." a patrlottc selection, which
brought round after round of applause.
"Oregon, My Oregon." one of the vocal
selections sung by the assemblage, was
written by Mrs. Mae Beadle Frink. of
Eugene, Or., and was first published by
The Oregonlan February 14, 1909, the
60th anniversary of Oregon's admission
to the Union. Many public schools
throughout the state now use the song.
Feeble Voices Joyful.
Another vocal selection, which met
with vehement approval was "The Good
Old Pioneers," sung by Professor Par
vin and chorus. The voices of some of
the pioneer vocalists were husky and
somewhat weak, but lUiat they lacked
In volume they made up In enthusiasm.
Mr. Walker kept the house In an up
roar when he Indulged In Chinook jar
gon dialogues with Mrs. S. J. Ander
son, Mrs. Barney and others. Those
who could understand appreciated the
humorous ways In which they told
each other of the hardships of the trips
across the plains to Oregon and of pio
neer life while those who could not
were charmed by the musical sound of
the language and the gestures which
accompanied its delivery.
Mrs. N. M. Bogart, of Tacoma, an
Oregon pioneer of 1843, whose father
was killed by Indians in 1846, spoke
briefly. At the conclusion of her talk
she was embraced by Mrs. Ablgal Scott
Duniway, who exclaimed: "Here's an
Oregon pioneer who has something
which we women of Oregon have not
the right to vote."
C. W. Bryant, of Portland, whose an
cestors, he said, were Americans long
before the Revolution, spoke, briefly
about the early history of Oregon, out
lining the hardships which the early
settlers had to overcome and urging
them not to be too modest In taking
credit to themselves for the present
greatness of Oregon. Mrs. Duniway
spoke In advocacy of woman suffrage.

The best way to get a genuine bargain
in a piano is to go to a responsible house
and pay a fair price for an instrument
with a reputation back of it.
' Relieve your mind of any idea you may have that tie
cheap pianos,v which are advertised in such convincing terms,
are worth spending money for. If you buy one you are specu
lating, with most of the chances against you.
The cost of making the kind of an instrument you want is
greater than the selling prices of most of these cheap pianos
which, as a rule, are not good even when new.
A piano with excellent stay
ing qualities of tone and con
struction. , is the only one
worth considering and you
had better pay a little more
and know that as long aa you
have it you will be glad you
'bought it.
Our lowest priced instnunent is sold for $195. It is good
and serviceable and worth the money. We do not believe that
it would be real economy for you to buy a cheaper piano If
good instruments could be sold for less we would have them.
