HARY.

The restless march of a deter
mined people across the great Amer
ican desert when the nation was
young, not lured by the lust of gold,
but seeking homes, was retold at
last nights campfire meeting of the
Oregon Pioneers Association by 4
score or more of white-haired, bat
tle-scarred veterans gathered at the
Masonic Temple.
The moment for parting had come.
A lull fell upon the assembled pion-
GERS. Some silently shook hands,
others stood with bowed heads,
while the strains of THE Star-Span-
gled Banner" were played by Henry
M. Jackson, a pioneer of 1852, on
his violin. Now and then a tear
would steal down the cheek of some
one of the assembled throng.
Soon, however, they fell to shak-
ing hands and saying goodby, and
the SSth annual reunion of the Ore
gon Pioneer association came to a
close.
officers Are Eelected.
It was the big night of the re-
union, and the campfire feature,
which has come to be one of the
most enjoyable events of each year,
was no disappointment. Before it
commenced, resolutions were passed
of one nature and another and the
annual election OF officers took place
P. H. Darcy, of Salem, 1857, was
elected president; secretary George
H. Hines, 1853, of Portland; treas
urer, Charles E. Ladd. 1857, Of
Portland; directors, Joseph Buchtel
1852, OF Portland; N. H. Bird, 184s,
of Portland, and Cyrus H. Walker,
1888, of Albany.
George H. Hines, who was re-
elected secretary, has served his
25th year in that capacity, and no
other nominations would be enter
tained for the place by Retiring
President Frederick V. Holman, who
placed Hines in nomination himself
declared the nominations closed and
cast the unanimous vote Of the asso-
citation for him.

fences were Major James Bruce, Of

Col ]. J. Spencer, S. e. Wallen and

returned Saturday morning. and re-
port that the passage of the bill by
the house next Tuesday is now al

According to these gentlemen the
only objection raised against the bill
came from those who oppose every ap.
preparation, because of the many ap-
preparations that have been made, but
a majority Of the members are satish.

this time viii prove a great saving to

The board Of affairs has again ad-

Of two buildings for the asylum. and
the bids will be opened on March 10,
at which time it is agreed that the
contract will be let to the lowest bid

is the opinion of these gentlemen,
however. that a committee from Vim.

the result would be an involuntary

Furthermore, the Frisco and Rock

out of the state and all the oil pipe
lines of any magnitude, and had in
tended 10 use this control as basis

Guthrie, Okla, Feb. ia real sen.
sation was interjected into the inquiry
into the republican charges against
Governor Haskell, the banking board,
school land department, etc, Friday
when the governor through a series OF
hypothetical questions, demonstrated
that Maris really had nothing to do
with the. filing or preparation OF the
charges. but that Former Chief Jus.
tice John H. Burford, of Guthrie, had
prepared them and that he had done
so from motives entirely foreign to
those generally believed.
did you know" the governor asked
Maris, that the charges you swore
to were prepared by en- attorney for
the Standard Oil company"
Maris replied that only Judge Bur
ford, and possibly win Chappell, had
had anything to do with the prepara.
tion of the charges.
did you know, Mr.. Maris," ques-
toned Governor Haskell, that when
Burford prepared those charges ne
was and had been for two years on
attorney for. the STANDARD Oil com
pany?"
Marls replied that he did not.
GO to the records of the courts
here and you will find out said Gov.
ernor Haskell
Governor Haskell then proceeded in
a series of further questions, first to
show that Maris really knew nothing
about the charges; that he had made
no attempt to investigate the charges
before he had fined them had not
been to any of the parties implicated
to ask them to explain anything about
the various items expended; and did
not know whether Lawler was book
keeper, lawyer or deteotiv Cover.
nor Haskell further showed that the
republican charges we're not properly
sworn 70. and that those preparing
them had lodged the requirements of
the resolution appointing the investi-
eating committee.

srnor Haskell, but have no objections
