King Reliable Merchandise- Reliable Methods Autumn Luncheon. JUDGE GEORGE HERE IN '51 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1920 Pages of Time Flutter Back as Pioneers Announce Date They Came to State. BT EDITH KNIGHT HILL. Wth eyes that sparkle with the keenest Interest in life and In the events of the 'day, with heads sprinkled with white and yet unbowed by the passing of the years, the Lang Syne society members gathered yes terday in the Tyrolean room of the Benson hotel for their annual autumn luncheon. As the roll wa called the pages of time fluttered back for a few mo ments and the men stood and an nounced their names and the dates of their arrival in this city or In Ore gon. C. B. Moores presided and In troduced the speakers. Vincent Cook admitted he came, to this state in '65 and fir. Dav Raffety, with pride, gave his date as February. 1852. Ralph Hoyt said something about M. R. J. Lyndon, '68, and J. 6. Reed, 69. Jud?re M. C. George wa ap plauded wher. he announced his date as October, '61, and T. B. MjOevltt was one of the boys of '66. J. J. Johnson, Sol Blaumauer, J. F. RIsley and J. T. Masters were all lads of the early 60s. Norris Cox, or Dr. Cox. as he Is called professionally, said he first visited Portland and was a guest at the old St. Charles hotel in 1861. and Mr. Moorw, the chairman, gave '62, "71 and 1908 as the dates when he had come here to live. J. I. Lee boasted that he had been bora In Portland when Oregon was under the old territorial government. J. K. Gill recalled early days when Portland was a much smaller place J. W. Hill and Frank Dayton were mere youngsters, arriving here In the latter '70s, while J. I. Thompson and VV. M. Gregory also were in the same class. The Tailor" Also There. One recognized Mr. Coopey, who was known years ago as "the tailor." Now Mr. Coopey has a place out on the Columbia highway and there are some famous falls named for him. One saw George H. Himes, without whom no historic event is complete. F. E. Beach was there and General Charles F. Beebe and ever so many others who are .among the founders of the commercial, industrial and social life of the community. And with all there seemed to be the same spirit of alertness, of clear vi-aion. The Lang Syne members are not old- They are enterprising. They are right up to the minute in their discussions of the events of the day and in their participation in affairs of tire city and state. Frank Dayton, the secretary, had planned, all the details carefully and successfully. When called upon by Chairman Moores he read the ltst of the 17 who have passed on since the last annual meeting. For the most recent of these. James Failing, there was a vacant chair and flowers stood be- fore where he would have sat and his brothers rose for a minute or more and stood with bowed beada to pay tribute to his memory, hi-s in tegrity and his brotherliness. Later, on motion of General Beebe, resolu tions were adopted and the society attended the Failing funeral in a body. But to do credit to the present, the society heard a most interesting address by Dr. J. Hunter Wells, who epok'e on the Japanese and Corean question. He advocated the registra tion of all persons just as it is car ried out in Japan. He urged the studying of the Oriental languages and stated that credits should be given in universities for Chinese Just as they are for the dead Greek. Fn Solutions Offered. Dr. Wells stated that after 23 yeara lent in the orient he could offer in a briif speech but few solutions, but he believes in the understanding of the languages, the application of some of the oriental laws here and in vestigation of the elemental things before endeavoring to understand the problem. He declared that Japa nese own a large number of the hotels here: that in Japan, American mining was frozen out by the Japa nese laws; that in the back of every Japanese head is the thought of get ting back ultimately to his country. "America is not their country. Japan is. just as with us who go there America and the thought that we shall get back to her some day Is ours." said Dr. "Wells. Mr. Moores. spoke briefly of his trip enist and of how proudj he Is to be an American, but especially an Orego nian. Charles J. Schnabel gave some sidelights on the south and his recent visit there and bespoke the apprecia tion of the ishriners and Grand Army of the Republic veterans he met, for the hospitality received at their con ventions here.
