Deer Lodge. Aug 21.-The second
days session of the twenty ninth an
nual meeting OF the Montana pioneers
In this city wass crowded full of In
terestlng events. From early morning
until late tonight the old-tlmers and
the sons and daughters were on the
go. Both organizations held sessions
during the forenoon and at noon they
united In trip to Warm Springs by
special train over the Northern Pacific
road. Tonight the sons and daughters
enjoyed banquet at the Hotel Deer
Lodge, while the pioneers held a
smoker and experience meeting at
the Milwaukee hall. Both functions
were delightful affairs.
At the meeting OF the pioneers this
morning there were two principal
matters of business considered. One
was the extension of the time limit
OF arrival In Montana as q basis for
membership in the society; the other
was q proposition to admit into MEM
bership widows Of those men who
would have been entitled to member
ship but who had not Joined the society
at the time OF their death.
voted Down.
According to the rules OF the society
the term pioneer" can rightfully be
applied only to those men and women
who came to Montana prior to Decem-
ber 81, 1863 Some members at the
session this morning urged that this
date should be extended few years
SO that many who are real old timers
and yet who did not come until after
the trail had been blazed, might now
be taken into the pioneers family.
After considerable discussion motion
to extend this time limit was voted
down. The pioneers feel that after
1868 the people who came to the
Treasure state were not really trail
blazers; that In a great measure the
road here had been made easy and
that a place for them had been
partially prepared. They believe that
the men and women who came first
and carved their own way through
the wilderness, suffered the hardships
and fought Indians are all to whom
the term Montana Pioneer right
fully applies.
The vote taken on the proposal to
admit widows of men entitled to mem-
bership In the society at the time Of
their death, was also voted down.
Sons and Daughters.
The Society OF Sons and Daughters
of Montana Pioneers gathered this
morning at the courthouse at $3.50
o'clock and held the principal busi-
ness session OF their meeting. The
feature of the meeting was the adop-
tion of a resolution by which the sons
and daughters pledged their support to
a movement to influence the state to
provide home for the aged members
of the pioneers society. The resolu-
tion was offered by J. NJ. Exams of
Missoula and was as follows:
