OLD TIMERS
GET TOGETHER
Aberdeen Pioneer Associa-
ton Has Annual Feedfest
With all that Goes WithIt

The annual banquet Of the Aberdeen
Pioneers Association. last night waa
one of the most happy event Of the
kind in the history Of the associa
tion. More than 200 people sat al
the four tables spread along the 90
cial halleof Congregational churcrh
and each and every one was pleased
at the menu and service. Such cheech
akos as happened along were held in
suspended admiration of the cookery
exhibited, and proceeded to do it jus
tice.
H. H. Carter, former county sher
if and county assessor. presided as
toastmaster, and in his usual happy
vein introduced the speakers of the
evening. after having himself been
introduced to Rev. Chas. McDermoth
as president of the association.
Every minute Of the several hours
spent by the old timers in recalling
past and gone years was replete with
interest. The historical review by
Rev. McDermoth; the recollections ot
Mrs. Minnie Morgan's recent visit in
ireland, and the "reminiscences Of w
]. Patterson's tour in Europe were
among the features of the evening
D. w. Fleet, of Montesano, told oi
his experiences in surveying the old
farmstead of Samuel Benn and plat.
ting 1t into town lots. His story was
most interesting to the old timers, re
lating as he did, the difficulties en-
countered once in running lines across
tideland morass. where the com
pass refused to register the tumblee
of its holder into the tide mud.
A discussion arising over the orig.
in OF the name of the city, "Aber
deen," resulted in the shattering of
a number of time-worn theories con.
cerning this subject. Mr.. Benn ex
planned the name by saying that in
the early days, when this country was
appreciated only for its salmon run

for the town that now deservedly

delegation is addressing you at this
time upon a matter which is of much

having the effect of weakening our
position as members of this body,
position which at the outset of the
session was a strong one. We refer
to the proposed bill for holding court

measure seems to have developed at
Montesano. Aberdeen and Hoquiam
seem to favor the measure to con-
siderable extent, but unfavorable
comment emanating' from these points
is current.

the situation is the constant lobbying
of citizens of the county, which by
their activities constantly attract the
attention Of our associates to the
fact that we are "A house divided

to discuss this matter thoroughly and
to appoint delegates to q joint meet

from each section, this being approx.
imated according to population. We
suggest that the Hoquiam CONNER

call and arrange for the meetings and

We were at Coney Island. Leaving
there a few minutes after 10, we
reached Park Row at 1O:4O and Times

In order To carry out this itinerary
successfully a person must be a fair

More time should have been given

been possible to lop off n few minutes

follow this itinerary. STUDY Nour
guide book before you start ON this
trip and tell your guido lust what
you want to see. Don't tell him Won
want to see everything, but indicate
In what direction your interests lie
