State of Oregon passed an act to
incorporate the town of Dayton on
October 15, 1880. This year's cele-
bration coincides with the annual
Old Timers Picnic which is always
held the last weekend in July.
Founder of one of Yamhill
County's oldest towns was Joel
Palmer, who settled here in Feb-
ruary of 1850. Soon after his
arrival, the town was laid out.
The first building Palmer erected
was a hotel, and later he put up a
saw mill on Palmer Creek.
Christopher Taylor became one
of Dayton's first merchants and
also its first postmaster. The town
was named for his old home town,

D.V.D. BANQUET
Annual Banquet Enjoyed By
About 25
City Officers All Present and Make
Many Speeches of Congratulations
Friday night Dec. 29, 1911, was
the annual banquet of the Dayton
Volunteer Fire Department. The
banquet was served in royal style
by the proprietor of the Dayton
Commercial hotel to about 25 peo-
ple.
The fire boys and the city officers
made up the party. Turkey was the
main feature of the banquet, be-
cause the event is commonly known
"as the turkey feed."
After the close of the banquet,
toasts were responded to by the
following: Mayor Hadaway, Re-
corder Tuker, Treasurer Rippy,
Councilmen, Harris, Watson and
Kirchoff and Foreman Nichols, who
acted as spokesman for the com-
pany.
Mayor Hadaway's speach was
received by the com-
as he promised to aid in
ecuring better equipment for the
company.
The councilmen in their speaches
heartily indorsed the speach of the
"mayo Mr. R. L. Harris in his
speach, stated in part "that he had
never had the pleasure of attending
anything, any nicer, than the Fire-
men's annual banquet."
The tables were arranged by
Mrs. McCann. The banquet was
prepared by the good ladies of our
city, who have a personal interest
in our fire company.
Upon a motion, which was un-
animously carried by the company,
a resolution of thanks to the ones
who so kindly assited us was
drafted. Below is a copy of the
resolutions.
Whereas: It was only through the
kindness of some of the Ladies of
Dayton, that it was possible for the
Dayton Volunteer Fire Department
to serve their annual banquet, be it
hereby resolved, that we, the un-
dersigned tender them, our heart-
felt thanks and appreciation.
Be it further resolved, that a
copy of the above resolutions be
mailed to all Ladies who so kindly
assisted us, and also that a copy be
placed on the minutes of the De-
partment.
(Signed) Dayton Volunteer Fire
Department.

At the home of the bride's sister,
Mrs. Louis Montgomery of East
20th and Salmon Sts., Portland,
Ore. Sunday, December 31, 1911,
Mrs. Lillian Parker of Portland, and
W. L. Johnson, of this city. The
bride was dressed in broad-cloth
and the groom in conventional
black. Rev. Cook pastor of the
Christian Church, in Portland, of.
ficated.
A few friends and relatives of the
bride and groom were present. The
newly married couple eluded the
shower of rice and old shoes, in a
novel way.
They were taken to the hotel by
the bride's brother-in-law and
while he was still in waiting for the
couple's return, they slipped out at
another entrance and took a taxicab
to the station. We all join in
wishing them much happiness and
prosperity in this life.
