The amman reunion OF WsSnSu8 s~n
pioneers begins in this city today. ANA
viii be continued over tomorrow. Many
OF the members OF the assoc.stion have al
ready arrived, and it - thought the At
tendance will be much larger than that OF
any previous reunion.
King county pioneers met AZ the Cham
Der Of Commerce yssterday 1t p.
n. and those who opposed tne
trip 10 Evarett we're out In
force with hatchets keenly whested Tor
the whole scheme. Amasa Miller ana
n. w. Willis. who were not 1t the last
meeting. moved 70 reconsider the matter.
The former said he vasn't in tho business
Of booming Everett. Orange Jacobs
rushed 10 the rescue Of the proposition.
He said that the pioneers were not brought
here 20 boom Seattle, either; that they
vers Washington and not Seattle pioneers.
.'Once let the idea get out" he said. that
the pioneers are being worked for advertis-
ing any place aud that Will end the Pio-
neer Association"
There being some present vho did not
know the arrangements Thomas W. Prosch
read the programme Of the reunion. Presi-
dent Jesse w. George said that IL would
not bs deemed Q discourtesy 70 the
association If any pioneer Who chose
stayed away from the Everett trip and put
IN his time in Seattle Luke McRedmond.
OF Redmond. asked wha. the objection was
70 going to Everett, anyhow. II was .
GOOD and interesting trip. The town was
part Of the Sound and its development
and he deemed that anything resembling
Jealousy Was out Of place. The second to
Tho motion TO reconsider was Withdrawn
BY Mr.. Willis and the matter dropped,
though Mr.. Miller stiil declared that he
would 10 to Everett when he chose. and
at no other time.
Some question arose in regard to quai'-
Acations for membership In the Pioneer
Association. The question caused q differ
sncs Of opinion between Charles Prosch
and his son, Thomas w. Prosch. The
former said that residence in the states OF
California, OF Oregon. Of Washington or
Idaho previous 70 1860 was the sole quail
hcation. Mr. Thomas Prosch thought
that the qualification a. to residents OF
other states coming here was that they
should be eligible TO membership in their
own state societies. The committee APP
pointed at the last meeting reported
against accepting the offer OF L. 3. Rowe
OF the west half of lots II and II. block "a,
Bells addition to the city Of Seattle. for q
building and home for the pioneers. The
lots are on Howell, between Ninth and
Tenth.
