OREGON PIONEERS
IN REUNION THRONG THE CITY
OF PORTLAND.
More Than a Thousand Join in March
to Armory Where Program
Is Given

Portland, June %. Although 40 mem
bers of the Oregon Pioneers Associa.
tion have passed over the divide during
the last year, today's gathering in Port
land promises to out number the meet
ing held year ago. At that meeting
there were present 1907 members, and
when the roll is counted up tonight it
will probably show an increase over that
number. More than 300 arrivals on this
mornings train were added to yester-
days roll call of 703, and Secretary
Hines, at the pioneers eadquarters,
on the fourth floor of the city hall, was
the busiest man in town. The assist
ance of three clerks was necessary to at
tend to the registry and badges.
The old settlers spent the forenoon
visiting and exchanging "reminiscences
of their early hardships. feature of
the reunion was the large number of
pioneer women in attendance.
William Chapman of Sheridan, said:
''The women out live us. l think there
are more pioneer women than there are
men today"
The minimum age at which man can
become member of the association is
As years, and only those who were born
here or came prior to February 20, 1859,
are eligible. The 40 members who have
died during the last year have not de-
creased the membership, for many new
members have been added during the
year.
The earliest recorded pioneer is Ma
poleon B. McGillivary, who resides at
166 Park street. He was with DIR. Nc
I.aughlin, chief factor of the Hudson
Bay company, having enlisted in the
service in 1880. Mr.. McGillivary had
been with his father at Fort Walla Walla
in 1882, but was years old at the time.
He subsequently served with General
Fremont in California. Thomas Hutch
ins and Mary Bird johnson of Hills
boro also are survivors of the Hudson
Bay Company's service, their families
having accompanied DIR. Mclaughlin
from Canada, at the same time as Nc
Gillivar.-.

HARVEST is ON.

Heading Grain Has Commenced In Gold
H. Spring District.
7Umatilla county's harvest has com
menced, and the early grain is now be-
ing headed and put in stack for the ma
chimes which will soon be running in the
Gold Springs country says the East
Oregonian.
Tom Kerr, William Parrish and Robt.
Beaver have commenced heading their
grain near Gold Springs, and will con-
tinue to cut from this time until all the
crop is in the stack. The Cold Springs
grain ripens ahead of the greater part Of
the country owing to the fact that it is
low and warm. The harvest there is
usually well under way and towards
completion by the time the majority of
the grainfelds elsewhere are ready for
the machines.
AS yet it is not known what the yield
will be in the fields that are now being
cut, for none of the grain has been
threshed; but from the stand and the
fullness and plumpness Of the heads it
is evident that it will be well up with
the best Of the past years in quality, and
ahead of many in quantity.

leries, which began filling as soon as the
doors opened at 8 clock.
BY the time Chairman Cannon called
the assembly to order, nearly every seat
was occupied, and shortly after standing
room was at a premium. There was a
larger proportion Of ladies present thar
at either previous session, and their
summer costumes lent touch of color
to the otherwise sombre rows of black
coats in the galleries.
Received Entire Vote.
The roll call ended with no name
mentioned but that of Roosevelt, who
received total of 994, the entire vote
of the convention.
(The objection to the nomination of
Roosevelt by acclamation came from
New Jersey, which demanded the roll
call, with the result given.)
For Vice. President.

for vice. president, all the states "pass-
ed" for Iowa, when Senator Dolliver
arose to place Fairbanks of Indiana in
nomination.
AT 2:07 p. m. Fairbanks was nomin.
ated by reclamation. Depew asked fol

alton of Fairbanks by acclamation,
which was done.

Walla Walla, June 22.--As she cooked

difficult. Miss Rosencranz is 16 years
old. Her back, hands, arms and hips
