Those of us who can span distances by the modern means of travel, who can flash news of cal amity or of need almost in the twinkle! of an eye, and who can enjoy the multitude of comforts which modern civilization afford, find it increasingly dfficult to realze what pioneerng meant. The tedous journeyings, the weeks and months interspersing con- tacts with former homes, and the hardships endured—all of these called for patience and ingenuity and cour- age and fortitude of a quality not de- manded by our more luxurious civil- ization. The qualities which were exhibited by our forefathers should be cherished by us because they fur- nished the ‘stuff’ which made it pos- sible to build this western empire. “Our annual gathering wiil justify itself if, as we review the records of those who have gone before, we seek to emulate their example and to pass on to posterity the noble character- 1 For Judge of the Supreme Court ten-year term, vote for Wm.
