Armory. Twelve hundred sat at the tables. No one can be a member of the Oregon Pioneer Association except those who came to, or was born in, some part of the original "Oregon Country" prior to January; 1, 1860. Only one exception is made, and that is in connection with California. Any one who came to, or were born in, that State prior to January 1, 1860, now residing in Oregon, are eligible to membership upon the same terms as if they had always been residents of Oregon. The average age of the twelve hundred pioneers present at the reunion was sixty-nine years. It was not an uncommon experience for persons attending this reunion to meet old acquaintances whom they had not seen for periods of twenty to fifty years, and in one case sixty-four years.
