Stephen Staata Before the Eoaebnrg Pioneer ennion Jane 15. - 895. bright Oregon; and now, while here assembled, wo can retrospect the past, and dwell in contemplation on the trials and labors of past travels and pioi.eer life. Although a wilderness upon our arrival here, we are surrounded on every band with the evidences of civilued life, and in a land, blessed above alb others in everything conducive to the comfort ami happiness of man. T'is to the pioneer we are indebted for tho comforts and pleasure we enjoy in this once wilderness, the abode of savages, but now the brightest star in the constellation of states. T'i.J, Oregon, once con sidered only the fit habitation for savages and beasts, is now, through the instrumentality of the pioneer, made tin abode of ft high civiliza tion, and t e home of a happy and j on them w hen they irosterous wople. ting, lbs energetic The early settlers of Oregon were of two distinct classes fron tiersmen and agriculturists from the Western states, and trades people from New York and the Eastern states. The former were in reality the pioneers, and the latter wcrs commercial adventurers, who followed them. Both were necessary to tho development o! the country, or, rather t the ex istence of thn settlement here. They shared together, the priva tions, the isolation, and hc hard ships of life, in a desolate country, and they are entitled alike, to the honors'due to the founders of a new state. The gray haired pioneers, who meet today, can have no reflections w hich may not stimulate an honest priUe. As a Cuiniiiunity, we are as thoroughly organized, us the com munity of any state in the Union. The discontents which threaten some other states are unknown here. &e the blessings which fol low liberty, plenty, security, gen eral education and sound public morality, are found in Oregon. These are blessings for which every pioneer may take credit to himself, and for which the people know every pioneer. In the successive stages of the history of the state, the pioneer must never be forgotten, because his courage, his lxddness, his de votion, bis love of wife and child ren, bis desire to build f. jr them a home, have made him from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the conquer or of the wilderness, and the founder of stales. Xow friends, in all probability this is the last time, that some of us will ever meet again in social and friendly reunion, therefore, let this day be one, ever memorable in the hearts of oil present, let care be banished for the time being, let joy reign supreme, so that, when the exercises of the day shall have j passed we may return to our re-j spective homes, with the kindest I eoiiKiderMtion Ur tV, inn.ir u l I camping here and have not bo.-u , , ., - - ):.. i .e. i nreviolislv mentioned are V IJcirn- ; " in; icii- viie nooue ui i - Bob Morris, of Bay City, says The Tillamook Advocate, whipped the old msu Hathaway rather than pay a bill of one dollar for butter and then settled by paying 10 for tho privilege, and now there I some talk of prosecuting Mr. Hath away for accepting the Settlement, according to reports.
