cial.) The ?3d annual reunion and
three days' picnic of the Linn County

ressful close In this city last night.

the attendance unusually large.
Probably the larges number of peo
ple ever assembled In Brownsville at
any gathering of the klni.. attended the
reunion ami paid honor to the pioneers.
In fact, all parts of the atate were
represented, for the announcement of

quartet was received with hearty ap
plause on Thursday, when it gave songs
appropriate to the occasion. The plat
form exercises were a xcasi oi guou
things each day.
Once In the course or the tnree aays
hush came over the audience, when
the rollcalt of members of the Pio
neer Association was resd. The calling
of the roll marked the passing of many
of the pioneers of Linn County so
many. In fact, that a shadow of sadness
was cajit on the remainder or tne pro
gramme. Tor the ranks or tne eariy
settlers have thinned more rapidly than
ever before.
Amusements for the young folk
were provided In plenty, day and night.
The- principal attraction In this line

ond day by Mount Angel In an U-lnnlng
same by a score of s to 3. i ne tnira
day Brownsville won from Corvallls by
a score of IX to i.

the grounds by the Brownsville Com
mercial Club. The exhibit contained
manufactured and agricultural products
of Brownsville and numerous relics of
pioneer days.
At the close or tne nusiness session

At no point has It been necessary to
abandon a mission station, and sound
a note of retreat.
An Interesting illustration of the man
ner in which progress has been made
Is in connection with the organization
of the work In Siberia. Not many years
ago. the Adventists living in Russia
were banished to Siberia because of
their faith. There they remained, true
to their belief. In later years others
moved into the country, until now the
Siberian union mission has been organ
ised, with five local divisions, and a
total membership of more than 6o0.
From these places workers are reach
ing out to Join the missionaries In
India and China in taking Christian
ity to the recesses of Asia. I-ap'a
progress Is also being made In Africa
and other fields. .
