question of the scope aud extent of the
society has come in for considerable dis
cuSSion. About twO-thirdS of the
eligible members in Ramsey county
have now joined, and as time passes
and some of the members have gone to
their last resting place, the point has
been brought to their attention as to
how to perpetuate The society and in
crease its possible membership. Some
have expressed the desire to extend the
time of residence, but this is objection
aDle, owing to the fact that after 1861
immigration to Minnesota was SO heavy
that the membership thus acquired
would tend to defeat the primary Oh
ject of the association, viz: 80 pre-

tory of pioneer days" In this con-
nection reference has been made to the
California association, which has to-day
one of the finest buildings for this or
similar purposes that there is in Amer
lea. They have an elegant library.
smoking rooms. billiard rooms, enter
tainment parlors and archives and rec
ordS that furnish vast amount of
amusement and instruction to both the
old and young pioneers, and help to
make pleasant the decling years of the
old settler and honored '49er. A glance
at the California pioneers constitution
reveals the secret of their success.
Article 2 of their constitution reads as
follows:
The society shall be imposed of two
classes To the first GLASS; all who were
residents of California prior TO the first day
of January. 1919; AND THE MALE DESCEND
ANTS OF ALL SUCH, who were m 'mbers: shall
be eligible. To the second class all who
were residents of California prior to the LIST
day of January, 90 AND THE MALE DE-
CENDANTs OF ALL SUCH, who were members,
shall be eligible. Honorary members may
be admitted without these qualifications, but
must be such persons as shall have rendered
distinguished or important services to the
society Or state and must at some time have
been resident of the state.
Among the names on the honorary
list of the Coast Pioneers were enrolled
those of John G. Fremont, the original
Pathfinder, who planted the first Amer
lean flag on Pixies Peak; William T.

as a member of the common

elected from the old Fifth ward. He

1t had touched him. but lightly. but as
you looked at his ancestor, an Old Set
tier, you could perceive the wrinkled
brow and withered cheek. One glance
from him to the old '49er and you would
observe that honored, white-haired old

great commonwealth of a state.

1t is true that the Ramsey County
Junior Pioneer association marks the
period of eligibility at ten years later
than in California, but the time is rap
idly approaching when the male de-
scendants of our home organization will
become eligible. and there are
undoubtedly some cases at the
present time. Some of the older
members have been discussing this
proposition for some time, and it taken
up soon and the native sons of the soil
