In Its Observance
Bv Frank Dave.
Ths rouadiug ut ot the first
fifty years ot ths Ufa ot ex-State
Senator Hal D. Pattern waa signal
Hei Thursday - evening by tbe
moMt unique and the most euecess-
(ul social event ever held la this
part ot the world, It being new in
Its plan, with no probability and
scarcely a possibility ot repeating
it, for, as the toastmaster said in
bis opening talk, when the good
Bights were spoken last nigbt and
the doors closed on that gather
ing, never again, would or could
the same crowd be assembled.
It was a gathering ot the male
friend and associates with whom
the host has grown up during his
fifty years of life, many ot whom
were residents of Salem long be
fore Hal appeared upon the scene
and a few of whom came some
living ot the doctors who were in
active practice in Salem when he
came to It in 1878; Chief Justice
George H. Burnett, who told of
his experience as a young lawyer
and as a member of Capital tire
engine company; Charles B.
Moo res, who came to Salem ag a
child in 1853 and baa been a vital
element in Us lite and the life of
Oregon ever sine's; Daniel Waldo
Bass, now a hotel manager in Se
attle, but wbo still entertains
strong pride that he was a Salem
man; Justice Thomas A. McBride
of the supreme court, a native Ore-
gonlan, who kept the crowd in
Joyoos laughter for ten minutes;
Major Frank E. Hodgkfn, now ot
Vancouver, Wash., but wbo spent
many years In Salem as newspaper
man and politician. He served as
deputy secretary ot state under
years later but have been a part of i Rockey P. Earhart from 1882 to
Salem long enough to be admiring,! 1888 and as deputy state treasurer
loyal friends ot Mr. Patton and! under Phil Metschan from 1891
loyal friends of Oregon and its
premier home city Salem. Some
of the old-timers have drifted In
to other fields ot activity, but they
responded to the can for last
night and traveled long distances
to mingle again with the associ
ates of their youth and to rehearse
some of the early scenes that made
life spicy and enjoyable In this.
their old "Chemeketa,"
It was a decidedly democratic
crowd last night. From governor
to janitor; from judge to bailiff;
tne lawyer, doctor, preacher.
farmer, mechanic, merchant and
" laborer all mingled in a happy
jumble ot equality, each ready to
slap the other on the back and
pas tbe compliments of the sea
son without fear or formality, so
that every moment of the evening,
from tbe first greeting of the
genial host at tbe bead of the
malr, to the last shout ot farewell
bout the midnight hour was flll
, ed with unalloyed pleasure, the
only regret being that so many
wer separating never to meet
again this side of the divide.
The celebration was held in the
Shrine mosque over the Penney
stores on Liberty street, where
long tables were spread for the
seating of ISO to 200 guests and
the cuisine was directed by that
prise of caterers long popular In
Salem, Johnnie Jones, while a slx
piece orchestra was Installed in a
proper place to add the musical
flavor to the proceedings.
As soon as tbe guests were
seated, Mr. Patton made an ad
dress ot welcome which waa a
gem ot hearty good will, finishing
with a touching peroration to bin
departed mother, as well as to
mothers In general, to whom he
proposed toast, which was drunk
In the pure sparkling water by
assembly standing in reverence.
Mr. Patton appointed his old boy
hood chum, Leonard II. McMahan.
toastmaster and the result showed
his good judgment, for Me kept
the entertainment flowing in un
known stream while the meeting
lasted.
At the call ot the toastmaster,
history, reminiscence, local goa
lp. city development, jokes of the
past, ridiculous situations and Im
pressive experiences were re
beamed In the most entertaining
manner by the following:
Reuben P. Boise, who told of
the conditions prevailing and the
noted families who were living
and In business in Salem fifty
to sixty years ago; Dr. W. H.
P"d. who la now the only one
are still in Salem and present last
night Hon. A. N. Gilbert and
Hon. John 0. Wright received a
marked token of respect, when the
assembly rose to its feet and cheer
ed them lustily.
William McGilchrist Jr., King
Blng of the Cherrlana, presented
Mr. Patton, a former King Blng.
with a beautiful cake as a gift
from that organization. Albert
Gllle added to the pleasure of the
occasion by a charming vocal solo,
"Long, Long Ago."
Among those present, caught
"on the fly" by Journal repre
sentative, were the hallowing:
to 1881; Charles O. Riley, who
knows more mischief than any
other male product of Salem and
who can rehearse it in good style;
George P. Litchfield, tbe other ex
treme, who knows more good
things, by theory and practice,
than perhaps any other man In Sa
lem, and who has more good words
and less bad ones tor his friends
living or dead than any man you
are liable to meet; Governor Ben
W. Oleott, who has always some
thing pleasant to say in a quiet
way; Colonel E. Hofer, veteran
editor and politician, and Dan J.
ry, for many years the wer
sprlng ot practical joking In Salem
and who has yet a whole lot ot the
old spirit in reserve. These
speeches were all good end If
printed will make an Interesting,
valuable volume.
Mr. Patton ha cards placed at
every plate upon which guests
were requested to register their
names and other data. He will
preserve those cards as a valued
treasure.
During the evening heartfelt
tributes of respect were paid by
the speakers to several departed
pioneers, notably Judge B. F. Bon-ham,-
Judge Reuben P. Boise,
Asahel Bush, Judge John B. Wal
do, Rockey P, Earhart, E. N.
Cooke, T. McF. Patten, John H.
Moores, J. J. Murphy, etc., and

Woman's Ills Make

There la no question but what
the Ilia of women conspire
against domestic harmony. The
husband cannot understand these
'roubles and the phyalclan finds
It hard to cure them; therefore
the overworked wife and mother
ront'nues to drag around day In
and day out with headaches and
backache, fretful and nervous!
Such women should be guided
by tbe experience ot women whose
letters we are continually pub
lishing in this pap I'. Many ot
hem declare that they have been
restored to health, strength and
ennawjuent happiness by Lydla E.

ifter doctors snd all other medi
cines had failed to help them. It
will surely pay women who suffer
from such ailments to try It.
