On Sunday, July 13th, at Brookvale.
the beautiful country estate owned by
H. G. Kreis, situated on the banks of
the Willamette river, occurred a picnic
given by the ‘‘Folks” formerly resid­
ing in Southern Alberta. Canada. The
picnic was well attended, there being
thirty-three persons present. There
was much greeting and hand-shaking.
The many trials and pleasures of
pioneering and homesteading were told
again and all were happy to be again
united. An onlooker remarked that the
Alberta Folks are as oue large family.
A wonderfnl feast of many and varied
viands and sweets was enjoyed, and
the launch, ‘‘The Lucile Faye” , of
Brookvale, did its part in showing the
newly acquired settlers the wonderful
charms and beauties of the Willamette
river.
All of the Albertans in Oregon were
not present, by far, because many
could not be notified and others found
it impossible to be present. The “ tough
sledding” endured by most Albertans
Was by no means a disqualifying condi­
tion as the experience of drouth and
crop failures have taught lessons of
care and economy. As the “ Folks”
bared their doings in Oregon, covering
a period of one to three years, it was
gratifying to all to learn that these
thrifty arrivals are succeeding rem ark­
ably well in the various vocations
chosen and followed. All of these for­
mer Albertans are most appreciative
of the great state of Oregon dnd its
natural grandeur and beauty as well as
its unexcelled opportunities.
Many
more Albertans are coming to Oregon.
The enthusiasm ran so high th at a
mere suggestion of forming a per­
manent organization was hailed with
applause ar.d cheering. Following this
an organization sprang into being,
which will henceforth be known as
“ The Southern Alberta Society,”
with Mr. Walter W, Bryan, of Port­
land. as its president; E. Nye Bellus,
of Oregon City, as vice-president, and
John W. Powell, of Portland, as secre­
tary-treasurer.
It - was determined
th at the picnic be held annually in the
month of July. Extreme praise was
given to Brookvale and its occupants
and much hope was expressed i that the
next picnic could be held at Brookvale.
Those present at the picnic were- as
follows: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Curtis.
Miss Mable LaRosie, Mr. and Mrs. W.
W. Bryan, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Her­
rick and daughter, Gladys; Mr. and
Mrs.' Arthur L. Bryan and son, Clif­
ford; Miss Alice Bremer, Mr. E. W.
Kyllingstad, Mr. and Mrs. M. Kylling-
6tad and sons; Mr. and Mrs. John W.
Powell and sons, Cecil and Orville, Mr.
C. N. D ow ning,M r. and Mrs. E. Nye
