County Pioneers to Picnic at
Priest Point Park.

The annual pioneer picnic, given
jointly by the Thurston County Pio-
neer Society and the Pierce County
Pioneers, will be held at Priest Point
park, in Olympia, on July Is, 1920.
The address of welcome will be
delivered by T. I. Dodge, president of
the Thurston county society and the
answer will be by a member of the
Pierce county society. The usual pro.
gram of extemporaneous talks by
pioneers. old-time songs, and pioneer
stories will follow.
The big basket dinner will be
served at noon, on the large tables in
the park, which will be reserved fol
the pioneers and their families and
friends by the committee. The 30
ciety will furnish coffee, cream and
sugar for those who attend.

ton. They rlisrcprescHted every
thing they possibly could. and sup
pressed much that was favorable to
the democratic party. The people OF
the city were fine. IN fact everybody
was delighted with the hospitality OF
the city and were loud in their
praises. But Senator Pat Harrison OF
Mississippi voiced the sentimenst or
all when he denounced the mean and
disreputable action of the San Fran
cisco newspapers. He might have
included Mattison of the Seattle
Timse, also, for he never missed an
opportunity to put the Washington
delegation in a bad light, and most OF
what he said was without foundation
Of fact. Frank Goss, Of the P.-1., was
a little better, but even he caught the
gene a, spirit oe the s y. papers sur
ficiently to prevent fair statement OF
the news.

Pensione Pincio, hm, that's the place
where A had all his stuff stolen,
and the people treated him so badly
afterward. Said that was what was
going on all the time, and they could
not be expected to do anything about
1t.
BY the way. they continue, there's
one thing you must look out for
everywhere you go. They'll try to
charge you too much, two or three
times over, foc everything. We
wanted a cab to take US out toto,
where was it? Well, 1t doesn't mat
ter anyhow. but some very famous
place. The cabman said it would cost
us thirty francs. After we'd talked
to him for about an half hour he said
he'd do it for twenty. We thought
that still too much. so we went and
got a policeman. and he said 3 francs

not have the nerve to haggle that
way in English, but it sounds quite
respectable In French.
Now what, I demand, would you
do in the face of conflicting evidence
of that sort? We can think of only
one answer, and that is to go and find
out. We're going to. First Of all,
we shall be six weeks at Grenoble. in
the French Alps. The University
there gives special French courses for
foreigners every summer. We hope
to learn enough of the language to
keep from paying all we are asked the
first time, after which we shall
promptly leave France. going first
