Will Prepare History. - i Mc MTNNVTJjLE, Or., June 10. fSpe-! clai.)

Judge Galloway, both of this city, to :. gather data for a complete pioneer his- 1 tory of the county. This will embrace; the period from the earliest settlement; of the county by white men In the early "forties" to the present date. There are about 200 members enrolled ; in the Pioneer Association, the majority of whom were children who accompan ied their parents across the plains to Yamhill County In the early decade of, Oregon's settlement, and the lack of a' published record of local happenings relating to the pioneers has created the sentiment demanding that euch a his tory be compiled.
