PIONEER TALK FROM
CLATSOP
WARRENTON'S CHEERFUL
ANb PHILOSOPHIC VETER
AN, DR. B. OWENS ADAIR,
HAS A WORD WITH HER OLD
FRIENDS AT THE PIONEER
RE-UNION.
The following is the text of the
spirited address made by Dr. B.
Owens Adair of this county, before
the Oregon Pioneer Association, and
h is sure to be read with very definite
interest by her home-friends and
colleagues:
"I have the honor of making my
best bow to one of Oregon's native
and most wortny sons, Colonel Mil
ler, your president, and to you, my
pioneer friends. I greet you with a
Beart full of appreciation, knowing
well your true value and worth. Who,
better than myself can understand
and appreciate your toils, your
straggles an your successes in makr
ing this one of the greatest States in
cur Union.
x "I have been asked to give you a
rambling talk of a few minutes' dura
tion. I will choose for my text 'Sixty
years ago.' What has come to us
since 60 years ago? Looking back-j
ward from this hour it seems but
yesterday. But looking forward from
then tiTl now, it has been a full age.
The road has been long, rugged, and j
circuitous. The changes ' from then
until now can never be fully under
stood or appreciated by the youth of
this age. Sixty years ago when we
came here, we found a wilderness in
all its virgin beauty and wildness,
with only the red man, with his toma
hawk, his bow and arrow, and the
wild beasts that roamed the forests
at their own sweet will, to give us
welcome. Then we looked forward
to a yearly mail that must come
around the 'Horn' in the old wooden j
bottoms, or across the plains with J
the emigrant train. But were wej
unhappy then? Not a bit of it. We,
found plenty of work for our hands (
to do. The devil had no need to find
employment for us. There were no
trusts in those days; no grafts or
grafters; no labor unions; we had
neither locks or bolts; we had no use
for penitentiaries nor insane asylums.
The latch string was always found
on the outside and a heart full of
welcome within. But since 60 years

a Thing until you
ago all this has been changed. We
will say for the better. Our yearly
mail has been multiplied by more
than 360 times. The old pack train
of jaided horses and mules, and the
old emigrant wagon propelled by the
faithful oxen and sometimes by the
precious cow that was called upon
to do double duty; not only to fur
nish milk for our children, but to
work in the yoke as well. All these
have been supplanted by the iron
horse that comes speeding across
the continent, snorting smoke and
fire from its nostrils. He comes lad
ened, not only with precious human
beings, but with the wealth of our
own and other nations as welL But
far in advance comes the speedier
telegraphic dispatches. From nation
to nation, from continent to conti
nent, the messages fly on wings of
lightning. Oh, what a wonderful
discovery; what a wonderful power is
electricity. Only about 25 years ago
the telephone was invented. In 1879
I went to New York and there, on
a street corner was a telephone on
exhibition. For 25 cents you could
talk with the man at the other end
of the line, 'away down town', four
or five blocks away. The people
were lined up like going to a circus,
waiting their turn. I fell in line and
abided my time. And never shall I
forget the sensation that voice pro
duced upon me. It was so strange,
so unnatural; I could not understand
one. word he said; and it seemed to
me that I was listening to a voice
from some unknown world.
"And from this imperfect machine
has come the graphophone, mega
phone and other phones together
with that wonder of all wonders, the
wireless telegraph. Oh! stop! stop!
and think of it for one moment. There
in mid ocean is a great ship in dis
tress; hundreds of lives are in peril;
out goes that noiseless call for help.
'Help, help us help!' Back, back,
flashes the message tof love, cheer;
'rescue is on the way. Oh, this is an
age of inventions, discoferies and of
wonders; one great event crowding
upon another in such rapid succes
sion that we cease to wonder. And
all this, all this since 60 years ago;
who can tell what 60 years hence
may bring? I prophecy that in 60
years we will be holding communica
tion with our neighbors the planets.
"The only sad part about it, is that
we pioneers cannot hope to live 60
years more. But while we do live,
let us be happy and enjoy the fruits
and flowers of our labors, ar.d while
we are keeping up with t'e times,
doubt not.. Oh don't let us forget
the past. Let us live our lives over
and over again in memory and in

You have made the early history of
this state. Don't let it die with you.
Preserve it and hand it down to pos

Pertsvers.
I have often heard people In mature
life say, "If I bad only kept on as I
had begun, if I had only persisted In
carrying out my ambition, I might
have amounted to something and been
Infinitely happier."
Multitudes of people have led mis
erable lives of regret, with thwarted
ambitions constantly torturing them,
simply because In a moment of weak
ness and discouragement they turned
back. If there la any time a person
needs nerve, grit and stamina It Is
when tempted to turn back, when the
coward voice within says: "Don't you
see bow foolish It Is for you to try
to do this thing? Tou have not the
means or the strength. How foolish
to sacrifice years of comfort and pleas
ure at home among the people who
love you for the sake of doing whnt
you have undertaken! It Is better
to turn back and acknowledge your
mistake than to go on and sacrifice so
much." Whatever you do or how
heavy the burden, do not lay It down
at such a time. No matter how dark
the way or how heavy the heart, wait
until the "blue" depression or the dis
couragement lias passed before taking
any decided step. Success Magazine.

Necessity gives to the eye a precious
power of seeing, and in the same way
It gives a precious power of feeling to
the whole body. Sometimes it seems
as If the very substance of my flesd
were so many eyes looking out at will
upon a world new created every day.
The silence and darkness which are
said to shut me In open my door most
hospitably to countless sensations that
distract, inform, admonish and amuse.
With my three trusty guides touch,
smell and taste I make many excur
sions Into the borderland of experi
ence which Is In sight of the city of
light. Nature accommodates Itself to
every man's necessity. If tin eye is
maimed so that It does not see tho
beauteous face of day, the touch lie
comes more poignant nud discriminat
ing. Nature proceeds through practice
to strengthen and angment the remain
Ing senses. For this reason the blind
often hear with greater case a.d dis
tinctness than other people. The sense
of smtfl becomes almost a new faculty,
to penetrate the tangle and vagueness
of things. Thus, according to an Im
mutable law, the senses assist and re
enforce one another. Helen Keller's
