by "Father" Flinn and that the vener
able clergyman's words of wisdom have
yet to penetrate beneath the surface of
his scalp, which Is worn bald by hav
ing the gospel language reflected off
Into air.
He told something of how he him
self came to Oregon with his father
and mother, and of the difficulties
they encountered, and declared that the
real credit for the settlement and de
velopment of the state belongs, not to
men and women like himself, who were
brought here by their parents, but to
their elders, who did the real work and
Buffered the real privations.
Judge Oeorge AU Right as Boy
In his response, President Carter
vouched for the fact that "Father"
Fllnn's sermons must have had some
good effect upon Judge Oeorge, "fox,
as a boy, he was all right."
"But I can't say so much for some
of the things he did in after life," he
continued. "Ho was elected to Con
gress, you know."
"Now. you be careful. Joe, or I'll tell
a few things on you," interrupted
Judge Ceorge.
Judge P. H. D'Arcy, of Salem, spoke
briefly in praise of the real - "old
timers." who came here at the heads
of families.
Kxcellent music was furnished by a
brass band and by a number of vocal
ists. Mrs. Mabel Baker Layfield, of
Chicago, sang a contralto solo and re
sponded to an encore, Mrs. Hallie Ba
ker Allen accompanying.
Stewart McGuire, with a Tich bari
tone voice, sang "Marguerite" and "Ben
Bolt" as an encore.
Ezra Meeker spoke briefly at the af
ternoon meeting. . His principal share
of the entertainment was furnished at
the Baker Theater, between 6 and 7
o'clock, when he gave a lecture. Illus
trated with moving pictures. He told
in an Interesting manner ol nis nrsi
migration to Oregon and of his work
eight years ago in marking the old
Oregon trail.
What doubtless was one of the most
enjoyable events of the day was the
"picnic" lunch at the Armory, pro
vided by nhe Women's Auxiliary. The
big drill floor was filled with long
tables and the veteran "boys" and
"girls" did ample Justice to the meal.
Following the lecture by Ezra
Meeker, the entire party returned to
the Masonic Temple, where the "camp,
lire" was conducted.
This was the occasion for story tell
ing and numerous real happy reunions.
It wa8 late when the gathering broke
up.
One Aged 98 Talks.
One or mo owxest pioneers In at
tendance was J. A Paulsell, aged 98,
who came to Oregon In 1851.
"I was a little too old to serve in
the Civil War." he explained yester
day," as he shoved his hat back at a
rakish angle, "but I was a pretty ac
tive duck and got by all right. They
pretty nearly knocked me out at Char
lottesville, but I am here to tell the
tale."
Previous to his Civil War experience
Mr. Paulsell, who lives in Portland, had
served in the Mexican War and in the
Indian uprisings. He carries 27 bullet
wounds and the scar of a saber thrust
on his body.
An Interesting old couple was Mr.
and Mrs. O. J. McCoy. He came here
in 1845 and she in 1852. His father,
John McCoy, was the first judge of
Linn County. The family on coming
to the state settled first in the Tuala
tin Valley and later near the present
town of Albany.
Early Portland Recalled.
"They make quite a fuss about this
burg," said I M. Hall, In speaking of
Portland, "but they should have seen
it when I first came. Tou could have
bought the whole town for a song.
Oregon City then was the place."
Captain J. M. Turner, a veteran of
many Indian battles, came over from
Washougal, Wash., to attend his first
reunion. On July 6 he will be 78 years
old. He first came to the state In
1852..
C. C. Maslker, of Hood River, who
came in 1858. has been a pioneer In
six different Oregon counties Yam
hill, Polk. Wasco, Grant, Gilliam and
Sherman.
S. T. Walker and his brother,
Cyrus H. Walker, who seldom miss a
reunion, are sons of Rev. Malcolm
Walker, who came here In 1838 with
the Whitman Mission. Both served In
the Indian wars. Cyrus Walker Is the
oldest living white man born In Ore
gon. T. M. Ramsdell came from Missouri,
and was one of the first carpenters
In the state. Re participated in an
Indian battle at Lost Creek and in
various other Bklrmlshes.
Good Story-Teller Present.
One of the best story-tellers In the
crowd was Fred A. Lewis, 1844. He
was the center of an interested group
nearly all day. One of his particular
delights was to tell about his wedding
day.
"A lot of neighbors and relations
were coming," he explained, "and I
knew that they wanted a square meal,
so I went out with ir gun. I found
a flock of ducks huddled together in
an opening on a nearby lake. I shot
into the bunch once. As they arose
I let go again. It rained ducks for a
few minutes. When I got through
gathering them up I had 25 birds. There
was enough duck meat to feed every
body." "I came from Missouri." said Charles
Bolds, "in 1845, but I waa bred In Old
Kentuck.
"I fought Indians when I got to
Oregon, but never was hit. I heard a
good many Indian bullets whistle past
my head, but I just left them go. I
never stopped any of them."

Pioneer Railroad Man's Life
One of Many Achievements.
FUNERAL WILL BE SUNDAY
'Grand Old Man" Personal Friend
and Adviser of James and Jj. W.
Hill Began Career as orflce
Boy, Became General Agent.
Portland's railroad colony was
bowed in grief yesterday by the death
of William Harder, general agent of
the Great Northern and the "grand old
man of railroad row."
Mr. Harder passed his seventy
second birthday on February 22. He
was one of the pioneer railroad men
of the Northwest, an early-day friend
of the late Donald J. Smith and of
James J. Hill. He was widely known
among railroad men, shippers and busi
ness men generally.
Public funeral services will be held
from the Holman chapel at 2:30 P. M.
Sunday. Officers and members of the
Clan Macleay will officiate. Private
services will follow at the Portland
Crematorium.
Numerous Medals Gtvea Hlia.
Mr. Harder's career was crowned
with many notable achievements. As
a youth he was an officer of the Cana
dian military regiments that served at
the time of the Fenian uprising. For
his exemplary conduct he was pre
sented by the British government with
a veteran's medal.
He was the proud possessor of a col
lection of cups and medals won in va
rious athletic contests. In his military
service he also won numerous prizes
for marksmanship.
When James J. Hill planned to ex
tend his railroad service into Winni
peg, Mr. Harder was one of a party
of trusted officials selected for that
work. Later, when Mr. Hill sold the
road to the Canadian Pacific, he be
came assistant traffic manager and
traffic manager.
He Opeaed First Office Here.
Twenty years ago, when the Great
Northern first established its offices In
the Northwest. Mr. Harder was chosen
by Mr. Hill to take charge. He opened
the first office In Portland and until
the time of his death was general
agent. He was the personal friend and
adviser of James J. Hill and his son,
L. W. Hill.
A year ago last Fall Mr. Harder
went to St. Paul to attend the seventy
fifth birthday of the elder Mr. Hill.
He was the only Portland man invited.
Whenever Mr. Hill visited Portland he
passed much of his time with Mr.
Harder.
Two months ago, when L. W. Hill
was here, Mr. Harder was ill at the
Good Samaritan Hospital. Mr. Hill
passed the best part of an afternoon
at Mr. Harder's bedside.
A few weeks ago Mr. Harder returned
to his desk In the Morgan building.
Early this week he went to the sea
shore. Tuesday he became ill and on
Wednesday returned home. He passed
away early yesterday morning.
Mr. Harder was a native of Scotland.

WHO ATTENDED ANNUAL REUNION YESTERDAY.
PENSION PLEA MADE
Pioneers Take Up Business at
Night Session.
CHINOOK TONGUE REVIVED
Ex-Governor Geer Is New President.
Early-Day Fiddlers Start Im
promptu Dance Couxtin'
Days Arc Recalled.
An appeal to Congress to grant
pensions to Indian war veterans on
the same basis as those paid to sol
diers of the Civil War was contained
In the resolutions adopted at the meet
ing of the pioneers last night.
Further resolutions were passed ex
nrKBslnsr svmoathy with the family of
the late F. X. Matthieu, an honored'
pioneer of 1842 and the first president
of the association. Sympathy also was
extended to the families of other pio
neers who have passed away within
the last year. (
The State Legislature was petitioned
to care for pioneer cemeteries, a vote
of thanks was extended to the people
of Foruand. and particularly . to the
Women's Auxiliary of the Pioneer As
sociation, for tnelr bountiful hospital
ity In entertaining the annual reunion.
Approval was expressed of the plan
i i s- ' 7 j n
V?-
to secure by legislative enactment fur
ther support of the Oregon Historical
Society.
Ezra Meeker was commended for his
sturdy efforts in promoting the '"Ore
gon trail" as a National highway, from
the Mississippi River to the Pacific
Ocean.
The committee on resolutions was
Judge M. C. George, P. H. D'Arcy and
T. T. Geer.
Robert A. Miller, ex-president of the
association, presided last night. It
wasn't much of a place for those of
the younger generation.
Everything- la In Chinook.
Nearly all the speaking, moat of the
singing and every bit of the laughing
was in the Chinook language.
And it wasn't the kind of Chinook
that is learned from books. It had
been taught the "old-Miners"4 by the
Indians themselves. They prorrounced
the words with the proper accent and
used the correct Chinook idioms.
Probably the most entertaining talk
was that of E. B. McFarland, repre
senting the "Unimproved Order of Red
Men." With elaborate manual gestures,
comical facial contortions and much
elocutionary emphasis, he protested. In
Chinook fashion, against the habit of
the "Boston men" in poaching upon
aboriginal reserves. Laughter fre
quently interrupted his monologue.
Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway gave a
brief address and was loudly applaud
ed before, during and after.
Other speakers were ex-Governor T.
T. Geer, Ezra Meeker and half a score
of pioneer men and women, who ex
temporaneously expressed their pleas
ure at being present.
Music was provided by Mrs. Mabel
Baker Layfield, contralto, with Mrs.
Hallie Baker Allen as accompanist.
Mrs. Allen also gave some selected
readings.
Memories of the entire party went
back to their old courtln' days when
H. N. Jackson and B. C. Bowers, early
day fiddlers, struck up some of the old
familiar dance music Every pair of
feet In the room beat the floor In re
sponse to the music, and a few of
those, more nimble than the others, got
up and danced in the aisles.
Ex-Geveraor Geer la President.
In addition to adopting, the resolu
tions, the only business of the night
meeting was the election of officers.
Ex-Governor Geer, who served the past
year as vice-president, was unani
mously elected president.
George H. Himes was complimented
for his efficient and faithful work by
re-election as secretary, a position be
has filled for many year a
Charles B. Moores was elected vice-
president and Charles Ladd Cf
tary. Directors are John W. Mlnto,
