Mays Celebrate Their Golden Wedding. .a event, of far more than passing interest took place in this city yesterday, the occasion being the celebration of the golden ' wedding of Judge and Mrs. Robert Msys. Fifty years is a long period of time, measured by anv stand- ard ; but fifty years of married life is a realization which comes but Eeldom in this world of changes. The year's which repreeent tho flight of time since Robert Mays, a youth ot nineteen years, led to the altar Mis3 Lodemma Fowler, a young1 girl of sixteen summers, who is now ins venerable helpmate, are full of historic interest. It takes but a brief imagination to picture the wonder ful changes in tho commercial and industrial life of this nation which h ive occurred during sucli a period. While to the immediate parties this occasion was one of romantic interest, boftened by the touch of retrospection and hallowed by memories of hardships undergone aud successes achieved in the race of life, yet not to them alone but to all who aro interested in bringing from out the past scenes of another time, when the West was but a frontier settle ment and life was of a harder and sterner kind, was this occasion full of interest. Surrounded by their children and grandchildren, coming ironi different aud distant portions of tho state, this honored couple sat down yesterday to their anniversary dinner. It was just such a bright September day filty years ago that the occasion (if which yesterday was the celebration took place. Rut the eurroundinga and thu scene were tar different. Mr. and Mrs. Mays were married in SleComb, Illinois, Sept. 28, 1S49. Soon after their martiage thu mirage ot the West appeared before their eyes and they determined to jiurney westward and seek their home in Oregon. In 1S52 they crossed the plains to Oregon and in October of that year arrived at what is now Portland, then a place of but few houses surrounded by denso foreete. They settled first iu Line county, whero they remained until 1858. In the latter year Mr. and Mrs. Maya came to Eastern Oregon and made their home near Dufur, on a placo still owned by the family. h fQ Air. Mays at ouco engaged in me took business wherein he laid the foundations for tho substantial fortune he now enjoys. Ho soon took an active position iu the political life of Eastern Oregon, aud represented thia county iu the legislatures of 1SG0 aud 1871. Since that time he has served two terms as mayor of Dalles City aud now occupies the office of county judge of Wasco county, having been so elected at the general election of 1800. Not only iu matters of public concein has he taken a prominent part, but he has alto been largely identified with tho builues interests of this county aud city, At all times has he shown an abiding faith in the prosperity, present aud future, of Jason's pmit Jars.

On the dinner table a large brass bowl of white sweet peas formed the center piece. Near it was eet the bride's cake and the golden wedding cake wreathed in gold leaves and gilded frosting. After 6ome time pleasantly spent at tho tables, whero the talk of the older people was interspersed with the glad music of children'a voices, tlio company j adjourned to the lawn under the spa-; c'ous trees, where the afternoon was , pasetd to tho delight of all.
