THE PIONEER REUNION.
The Society of Oregon Pioneers deserves

the people of onrMtato and to bo especially
held in honor by thoso who made the early
pilgrimage hither through routes of danger
and scenes of haidiphlp and toll not often
witnessed in the history of civilized man,
Thoy and their descendants should join
together to coniinemor.ito thoo entlydays,

their toils and privations in the cultivated

or subduing tho face of uatttre by his labor.
To all who remember thos days, aud to all
who honor thorn tho recurring nnnivor.iary
of tho Pintifots, should bring a welcome
season of festival and friendly mooting.
The Pioneers hAve fixed upon tho 15th day
of June as the time fortholr annual reuulon,
that being the day wbon the Ashburton
Treaty was signed which rixod the Stato of
Oregon as a portion of tho territory of tho
United States, a day of groat Importauci) to
the settlers of this distant region who
brought with them patriotic feeliugs of nation
al pride tbat would not havo brooked foreign
rule, aud who awaited with great anxiety
tho decision of this, to thorn, most Important
question.
The l."th of Juno this year saw all the
clouds dlspolled and the purest 'sunshine
prevail. We confess to some disappoint
ment that more were not in attendance, for
really it seemed that a less number were
present than the year previous. The time of
yeatywoulfl seemj rsoraiiitifoiu a. (' large, .at
tendance, as It is the season between 'seed
time and harvest when our farmers can
spare n few days more conveniently than at
any o'.her time, and the weather generally
permits tho out door life of the camp, which
our people are so often known to practice
and which the grounds of the State Agricul
tural Society so pleasautly invites.
The procession t f Pionoertj formed at naif
past ten the morning ot Thursday June 15,
on the arrival of the Portland train, tho em
igrants of various years being marshalled
under appropriate banners, Hon. T. C.Shaw,
of Marlon county, being ofllcer of tho day,
At the head was the American flag borne by
W. J. Herren, accompanied by Mrs. Olivia
Smith, or Uuttevllle, daughter of Mr. W. II.
Rees. The procession was led bv the
Noriwestorn Bind of Portland. There were
several beautiful and appropriate banners.
The opening prayer, at the stand, was of
fered by Rev, Won. Roberts, after which
Judge Grim delivered a abort opening ad
dress, which Inoluded a tribute to tho mem
ory of Col. Meek, John Ford, Capt. English,
Samuel Allen, David Weston, and J. J.

the year.
Judge R. P. Boise, the orator of the day,
tan addressed the audience at length mak-
oneof the best addresses ever delivered be
fore the Association. Giving interesting
id aometlmai thrilling inoldents of the
olden times and reviving pleasant facia con
nected with Oregon history. His remarks
were in excellent tsite aud most appropriate
to the occasion.
Then the assemblage dispersed to take
their repasts lrom JunoU baskets or to pat
ronize the several raataurants tbat offered
excellent metls upon the ground.
One accident occurred to mar the pleasure
of the day; a runaway was the cause of
severe injuries to a ohild or Mr. Richard

Prof. T. II. Crawford assisted by ladles

Tho second day saw still large crowd in

greatest Interact.
The report of thn Secretary, Mr. .1. Henry

address of the President. Ho suggests that
the dues collected nro not sulliuleut to pay

A pleasaut feature of the last day'.tpro

John Mint-., which occupied an hour, and'
orought the early days very vividly to mind,
and was graphic nnd often thrilling, as wo

Ho was followed by brief addresses from

Tho Wool Market..
.En.'FAnMKn: Judglng-by the .dally nower -. .
tbeaondltion ot tho woolmarkfttis ,very un
satisfactory. A market is never sallffacforV".
when prices are low. and when a producer
finds that tbo article ho has given especial
attention to is least of all, that. Is a special
causo of dissatisfaction. I mot atrlend tbo;
other day at tho Pioneer's reuulon who
seems in this last situation. Ho grows coarse
wool. Asking if I did not overlook ho
Fa n.M Kit's reports on tbo wool tuarktt, ho
called my attention to au oxtract in your
paper, from the San Francisco Cummut cut
Jlerahl, to the effect that Oukoi) ,wool aro.
not quoting at prices maintaining their lor
mer status in that market. The can Be seem
to bo fhat Oregon wools are of coarser qual
ities than formerly, and the tendency of thn
aarketls now toward the liner wools strain,
and distinction favors them lu larger markets
than tbat of San Francisco, I see by the
dispatches in tbo Orcyonian ol,June luth,
tbat California wools iu Philadelphia mar.--ket
are priced as selling thus: Flue and, me
dium', 31 25 eta.; coarse, 14 UOols. This
Is a great difference In lavor oT uno wool,
sold as this Is, In tlie unwashed flocqe.
I don't think the complaints of my friend
are quite judicable; no single oaper, much
less any single man, can control the wool
market. In so far as my vluws.and advice
go, I gave It pretty plainly a few years ago
In the columns or the Fakmkh to this eiluct:
Those who chose to give long wool their es
peolal attention, and nil the requirements of
producing a luup, sound staple, be It coarse
or floe, would not fall of a market. Those
who cultivated that kind of wool without
filling the requirements of soundness, would
have their product degenerate In quality
until classed as blanket or carpet wool, a
condition I have always expectAd, for the
reason that though some wool-growers do
know, aud will .ccy) their sheep iu-noh
condition as to pro-.uco a good article, .nf
combing, or delaine wool, a largo eass of
small growers, especially In Western Oregon,
pay little heed to the necossary oondiiliiiiH,
breed from large, coarse, long-wooleii
Rims, let theso rim with their Hocks at all
seasons, and consequently always lose a
large proportion or their lambs by their
coming in the worst season of tho year, or if
the lambs be saved, it Is at the expense or
the quality or the dam's fleece.
In the paper I allude to, I quoted freely
from tho bulletin of tho national wool man.
ufacturers association, to show that one of
its most experienced members foresaw and
foretold the present condition of the wool
market, iu favor of Hue wools. I therefore
sympathize with my Irlend lor tlie general
unsatisfactory condition of the wool market,
but I don't tiiel mj'telf lo blauiH lieeMiie wi
largj a proportlou of Oregon wool growi rs
have not taken the Interest they should have
done, to keep up the character of Oregon
wools, J, Ml.NTO.
