Association, organized in 1897, at
which time the annual meeting was
set on the anniversary of the 4admis-
sion of Minnesota into the Union. The
associations Log Cabin was built on
tht state fair. grounds as a headquar-
ters in 1900, but this proved made
quate, so the State Agricultural So
ciety rendered the organization the
entire use of Pioneer Portrait Hall,
where the association now has a col
lection of 2,10O pictures of prominent
founders of the state. Only families
arriving prior to May II, 1858, are ell
igible to membership, but many grand
children are: now active in helping
compile 'Minnesota's history of sew
enty years ago. Four thousand famil.
les are enrolled. .'--'s- . (.
The meetings will hold from about
10 a. m. till about p. NJ, with a ban

the library and art gallery accessible

and raising fund to clear off the in
debtedness. Though the members are
now scattered to every state in the
