"Conrtesy toward pioneer guests I from the Interior would seem to sug gest such action. A number of new members were added yesterday, some ot them coming several hundred miles to attend this reunion. It should be remembered that no one can become a member of the Oregon Pioneer associa tion except those who came to, or were born in. the Oregon country, or any part of American territory west of the Rocky mountains, up to and Including the year 1853. That date marks the end of the pioneer era because that was the year the territory became a state." The morning will be given largely to the registration of visiting ' members, and to the hundreds of individual re unions which always mark each assem bly of the pioneers.

Goss was wearing a pair of goggles at the time and this no doubt saved Ms eyes from Injury as the goggles received a sprinkling of the tar. The flesh on Gos face where the tar struck was bsdly burned. Goss lives at 108 West Eighth street Voypjuap waa working for the Para fine company, subcontractors on the ship. A charge has also been filed in Justice court against oypjaup. ESTACADA ELECTS CLERK Annual School Election Brings Out Large Attendance. FSTACADA. Or.. June 18. (Special.) The annual election for school direc tor and clerk, was largely attended Monday evening. Mrs. Sums Server was re-elected clerk and her salary doubled. Estacada has a splendid school sys tem consisting of a good grade build ing and a modem high school building. The principal M. B. Signs, has worked energetically to make the school serve the community to the best advantage. A summen business course is being con ducted at present. The high school baseball team won distinction this sea son, losing only one game. A A.

Then the death roll for the past year Is read and a sadness comes over me, for It would only seem meet that men of such brsve deeds, men who gave us this aection of God's fair globe as a home, would go on enjoying life, en- Joying some of the sweets of their early sacrifices until they had passed far, far beyond the span of life of such mortals as never did such valiant dee da. The list of deceased this year, as given in at the meeting yesterday, embraced the following: William Latig lln, Yamhill; George Robinson. Mc Mlnnville; J. C. Hembree. Lafayette; Alex Crier. North Tsmhill; Gaspar Hawn. North Yamhill; Mrs. W. H. Wil son, Portland; Nelson H. Olds. Portland; Mrs. usan Mooning. Tamhill; L. Beek- man. Portland, aud George Klchey, Portland. Ten names only: but we feel sure that the list is not complete, that some we fear quite a number have gone to the great beyond whose nairfes were not given. Sad Note la Apparent. There was from the beginning of the meeting yesterdsy morning a note of sadness among the veterans and their families and friends who gath ered at the Masonic temple, for their grand commander, Ed Ross, had passed sway during the year. (See, there is another name not on the mortuary list-) And one of the first things the vet erans had to do was to sdopt resolu tions of condolence to send his widow. Throughout the meeting Cyrus ' H. Walker, vice-grand commander, offi ciated. At noon the ladles and gentlemen composing the Sons and Daughters of Veterans, with their president. Mrs. L. A. Bailey at the head, were recipi ents of their annual treat, a fins luncheon, served In a large room ad Joining the hall in the Masonic temple. And such a feast as the 300 who were served enjoyed. The word lunch does not do Justice to the feast by any means. Old H. C. L. cut no figure with those who prepared the repast. They went to work and carried their work to a finish Just the same as if chickens were a bit apiece, coffee a nickel a pound and butter two pounds for two bits. 1 do not think any resolution was passed thanking the good people who provided the repast, but they ought to have done so. Programase Is Give a. After lunch Mrs. Bailey took charge of the meeting for. as Is the annual custom, the eons and daughters had prepared a programme to amuse the veterans. I have not the space to deal with this part of the meeting as it should be dealt with, fgr we all cer tainly had a mighty pleasant two hours. The fun was started by Miss Alice Mc Na light, who rendered two songs eo well that the audience would gladly have had her sing a few more, but she refused. Little Miss Staples played two violin classics from Schumann, her mother acting as accompanist. Of course Miss Staples captured the audi ence. She is not only a fine performer, but Is always dressed beautifully and has a most pleasing personality. Corporal James R. Bain of the Amer ican Legion told us what a man had to go through in the making of a soldier. He gave in detail what the man was up against who enlisted. He took him from the recruiting office through all of the duties and etunts he had to un dergo until he arrived in the trenches and was doing his "bit" in fighting the Hum Eleanor Nordstrom, a, lovely little 1 w.

Miss Eleanor captivated the audience by her mimicry, for she le a mighty good comedian as well as songstress. She was followed by "Johnny's In Town." and "How Tou "Gonna Keep "em Down on the Farm," rendered by Miss Harriet Law, and Misa Law fully held her own with the other artists. Marsetllalae Is Seng. T. Broulllette, who lives in Portland and says he is not a minister, though he often, in the kindness of his heart, supplies pulpits to give the officiating parson a rest, got up and asked the audience to sing the Marseillaise. Mr. Broulllette Is undoubtedly a French man, and he was sure In harmony with the audience when he said we all ought to know the Marseillaise better than we do. He did not get much assistance In the way of assistant singers in the audience, but he did not need them, for he is a beautiful singer and threw his whole soul into the wonderful French national air. Vice-Commander Walker then took the chair and Adjutant Otto Kleemann presided as clerk as the following of fleers were elected for the coming year: Grand commander. Cyrus Walker; se nior vice-graeid commander, C. W. Wal lace, grand adjutant. Otto Kleemann, assistant adjutant, Mrs. F. L. Benedict; grand paymaster, Charles H. Cham breau: grand chaplain, T.

Tewaeaaee Moaatalneer Seta Fashion for Dreaa Ornaments and Sweaters. YORK Is the newest shade that is be ing demanded by those who crochet and knit. The glint of gold that shines In the tresses of the Tennessee moun taineer who went Into service a con scientious objector and became the hero of the world war Is to be reproduced In worsted yarn for sweaters and dress ornaments. "What Is the shade?" asked Roy T. Bishop yesterday when an order came to the Oregon Worsted mills for yarn of this new description and the inquir ing customer said yarn was wanted of the same color as Sergeant Alvin C York's hair. Now, be It known, the famous second elder of the Pall Mall church has been described as having red hair. Every one thinks of It as being the most ad mired sort that Is imitated In various degrees of henna hues by persons whom nature fniled to endow with the real thing. The manager and the chemist of the worsted yarn plant were puzzled as to how to determine the proper shade for those who want to combine It with the blue so popular with certain vel- J vety complexions for the creation of sweaters, meaajuons ana oress orna ments. Then, in a twinkling, a way to solve the puzzle was found. Manager Bishop decided to write to R. C. Piles, merchant at Pall Mall, Tenn.. and ask for a sample of the hair. Doubtless the man who single-handed cleaned out the snipers' nests in the hottest section of the Argonne, killed more than 20 Ger mane and captured 138 Huns, will have no objection to allowing American women to pay a tribute to his heroism by obtaining yarn of the exact hue. Parents Unable to Locate Youth Who Failed to Go Home When Released. What became of Richard Morton, son of Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Morton, 91 East Twentieth street, after his release by juvenile court officers Tuesday, is Question that is puzzling city detectives and the young man's parents. He was srrested Monday night by Detective Joe Morak in company with Angelo Gab bano, an Italian boy, and held for in vestigation. Both gave their ages as 19 years. Morton later admitted he was but 17, and, while Gabbano was re leased, the younger lad was held "Tor action by the juvenile court, and re leased later. Instead of returning to tKe home of his parents, Morten seems to have dls- , appeared, for his mother said last night that she had not seen him and did not know where he was. While in Jail Morton is said to have told officers that his home was in Kansas City, but it was found that his first story, to the effect that his parents lived in Port land, was correct. City Detective Morak has taken ex ceptions to a criticism of his action .that appeared recently In a local paper,! in which favoritism is charged. The officer says young Morton was not re leased at the same time as Gabbano simply because his case could not be acted upon in the municipal court owing to nis youin. ana ne was neia until jurisdiction had been assumed by the juvenile court.
