( ) THE Win CLAN Members of This Pioneer Family Celebrated 78th Year in Oregon AMITY. Ore.. July 11. Gather ing from far and near, Journeying in flivvers, limousines, roadsters and coaches, with gasoline instead of oxen as the m stive power, the descendents of John and Mary Watt, pioneers, of 1848; gathered in ine obk grove comprising; tne park at Amity, Ore., surrounded the table dedicated to the memory of John and Mary and renewed the family ties that bind all mem bers of this clan together. In all thirty-nine, ranging in age from ninety to less than one year, including Roxanna Watt White, ninety years young the 2 Oil) of this month, and her younger sister, Aurora Watt Bow man, whose birthday is also the 20th of July, who will then be eighty-four years young, daugh ters of John and Mary Watt, and members of that memorable fam ily who came, two sons and six daughters, to help in building a home in the glorious west. Of that family party three are living, the two "present at the reunion, and Mrs. Clara Watt Morton (Mrs. G. A. Morton), whose home is in Portland, and who was prevented by: illness from Joining the clan, but who sent greetings to all. This reunion has been an an nual event, beginning in 1922, when on September 24, forty three members of the family gath ered in the Amity park, which is a part of the donation land claim of John and Mary Watt, enjoyed a picnic dinner and arranged for the building . of a suitable me morial table to mark the spot near which the first home was built. This date was the seventy-fourth anniversary of the family's arriv al, and also the birthday of the youngest child of the family, Clara Watt Morton, who was Just a baby when the trek to the promised land was made. On September 23.-1923, forty- nine, members of the family gath ered to commemorate the seventy fifth anniversary of the . arrival. and to dedicate the great stone table designed by J. Otto Wrenn. one bf the clan. In 1924 .and in 1925- the members-, of the clan gathered on the Sabbath day nearest, the 24th of September,' enjoying : the presence ot the. aunts who first came as children to this Wonderful land. In 1921.; hoping they, might make easier the trip, for those- far away, Iha celebration was held in JuIyY-Tjie-' first Sunday following the Fourth, and a ."warm" recep tion in-many; ways was accorded those who came. -v Beautiful flowers, a "birthday cake baked by one of the - new members of ' the clan- one who chose the family instead of being born ' to Its name-and . goodies provided by one and aU, gave to this gathering its usual festive air.- Old and ypung ate of the modern dainties, while telling of J& "food ojd daysrM"B d -roany am i If u: RocKiniM 'ff ;'v""i ,f , f' Opening at the Oregon' theatre Sunday afternoon.

Watt, daughter of Ahio H. Watt, one of the two sons ot the pioneer family. i A number of telegrams and let ters from absent members ot the family whose thoughts, turned to the old home added much to the pleasure of those present. Cheers and toasts to! the aunts were proposed and Joined in very heartily by all present! The two present responded with a few witty remarks, pleading the warmth of the day as an excuse for no speech making. The next meeting will be held on the Sunday in September, 1927, coming nearest to the 24th day of the month. Besides this family party the members of families who came from Tennessee to Oregon to make their homes g lathered around other tables i4 the park, making merry and renewing old ties. Greetings were exchanged by the two gatherings. Later in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers, with the latter's brother, drove in from Glendora, Cal., seeking the hospitable shade of the noble grove of oaks which makes this park so pleasing. This family is making a trip on pleas ure bent which will take them to New Jersey, but, remembering with pleasure a former visit to Oregon, felt they had to come back. : l How very appropriate it is that the old home, and original home Bite of a family whose members have become connected by mar riage with so many families of Oregon, who are extending the hospitality of the Oregon of y day, should be the official home of the "stranger within the gates" who comes by way iot Amity -meaning peace and amicable en joyment to enjoy tie peaceful shade and cooling breeze of this haven. Original Poem by Grace Watt Ross (Given as a reading at the fam ily reunion July 11, 1926, at Amity, Ore.) A toast to our Aunt Shan, Oldest member of all our clan. Ninety years has left some trance On lissome figure and happy face, Tet her heart is as light, and Bpirits as gay As when she alighted, that aut umn day, At her Amity home Just over the way Eighteen hundred and forty eight Just twelve years old she rode in state On her little white horse behind the sheep Our Aunt Shan our; "Little Bo- Peep." ! , V j ' All day, through the dust and heat of the plains She kept her seat and held the reins; She clambered the mountains and .waded the sireatns; She came at last to the home of her dreams j Where cool west winds from the ocean meet The hot east winds; and temper fheir heat; j Where sweet scented meadows broad and deep, And rolling hills yield food for the sheep. Here, father, and mother, sisters and brothers, Lived and .loved and helped one another, Tended the flocks and grew the -'wheat' . .

Toward the setting sun itaey go, The great white wagons, pond'- rous, slow; The oxen strain neath yokes of oak - No stouter than the hearts of those bravo folk , Of nearing eighty years ago. ' The mother, with her babe close prest, Holds high the torch of faith, nor falters, lest She prove no mate for him whose stride Keeps watchful vigil at her side. Aye, faith and courage she must show, For, beside the babe, In the cara van go Two sons and six daughters, with each their part To act and to db, "and each with high heart-r Followed that torch of the long ago. And when at last they reached the west Of their desire, they found the test Was not alone to cross the plains, But the grim fight when big ad venture wanes. And yet they stood the test! Carry it high, my kinsmen, That torch of long ago. Of courage and enurance. Of faith, come weal, come woe, So, when we join those others.

When they returned to the ca.br they untied Rose and told him to flee. As he fled, McWalne said, he heard "Eddie" fire some shots. Police found Rose dying near the roadside and he told them that he heard half a dozen shots shortly after his shooting. Officers found the bodies of Hein and Miss Blang nearby. McWalne admitted the use of narcotics and said his companion also was an addict. The first clue to the shooting was picked up when a detective saw a taxicab speeding through a suburb and gave chase. McWaine driving, lost control and was trapped in the wreckage, from which his partner escaped. A revolver, found In the car, connected the shooting of the cab driver.

It was necessary to file the pro ceeding1; it was said", because of conflicting statutes as to how county measures shall be Initi ated. Under an old statute enact ed more than 20 years ago it was provided that 60 per cent of the voters shall sign petitions for Initiation of a county measure. The general laws of the state pro Vide that the signatures of 15 per cent of the voters is sufficient. The city of Medford has offered to provide without cost to the county a court house for a period of five years. At the expiration of that time a new court house would be constructed and the original building would be con Verted into a city hall.
