FAIR MARKS FORWARD STEP Incident Is Celebration of Future Progress Says J. J. Hill. SEATTLE, Wash., June L (Special.) James J. Hill, chief speaker at the ex ercises this afternoon, spoke In pirt as follows: Most of the expositions of the past had a historic motive. It 13 & sign of develop ment when we move away from dependence on some past fact, and celebrate Instead the general iweej' of such forces as make for future progress. The Nation today, faces forward, not backward. Such la the genius of the Alaska-Tukon-Paciflo exposition. It .Is expressed in its very name; begln lng wlta the farthest, newest and least de veloped district of our National domain, covering a coast that reaches from well within the Arctic Circle to near the tropics, and embracing ell the mystery and might that have been suggested by the word Pa cific" for nearly M0 years. It appears in the design of this beautiful exposition city and its integration with your state Uni versity and lta future. You have learned more of your own powers by carrying to successful completion an enterprise so ambitious. The outer world, by which Alaska and the Pacific Coast are still largely unknown and un appreciated, will carry away from here in formation as well as delight. It Is. perhaps, a small episode in the march of human events and the unfolding of a nation's his tory; but. in some ways, also, It may mark an epoch. Portland sounded the commemorative note by its celebration of the Louisiana, purchase. Not (because historic incident Is scanty does the Alaska-Yukon-Paclnc make a dif ferent apoeal. The Pacific as well as the Atlantic has records of daring and endur ance. Out of its past rises mighty mem ories of men end events. The people o the Pacific States and territories helped lr. our fight tor human freedom. They helped no change the price of the cheapest .commodity in the poorest home when California poured out its store of gold. The maintenance of the connection between them and tho mother who had sant them .out ty way of the old Oregon and Santa Fe trail, brought the country more than once to the verge of war. I have said that the two events pri marily responsible for tho awakening of the Pacltic commonwealths are the com pletion of railroads across the continent and the Incorporation of Alaska In the National domain. It is fitting that the latter, giving lo this exposition two-thirds of lis name and much of its exhibits and Its Interest, should have first place. In deed, generations must pass before the coun try ran realize all the conseauences of a purchase received with jeers and ridicule only- 42 years ago. This exDosltlon differs from most others held in this country In being placed far from the older great centers of population. From this memorable work of men you have bur to raise your eyes to be In the presence of some of the grandest works of Ood. Everywhere alKmt you is less of finished achievement than of opportunity cud invitation. It is amazing that such a display should have been gathered Into such a home In the chief city of a state whose population today probably is less than one and a half millions. One dollar per capita contributed for every inhabitant of Washington and :1 per capita additional for every cit;zon of Seattle. Is the ptoof of yiuT enthusiasm and ycur faith. It has been more than Justified and will be re turned to you abundantly. There is room here for more millions than the Atlantic eeaboerl supports. icllm&te. resources, all favor you. Th.e future . belongs to you. Remain as you have been, the archi tects of your own fortunes. Keep the spirit of self-reliance, the spirit of fair and generous Judgment, the spirit of quick response to friendliness and community ol interest, the spirit of liberality, the spirit of fine. Joyous faith in your own future, the Seattle spirit that has mado you what you are. It will be your invaluable contribution to a civic life that needs the leaven of all these qualities. Stand firm -for the old. simple, immutable things, because, although they are as ancient aa your forests, they are also as fresh and vital; because they are as eternal as your mountains. As your exposition represents the wonder ful varied yet symmetrical Industrial - life and material resources of the world, and as It stands for your thought and labor and accomplishment, so claim and create an equally proud representation- In those other activities, that other life of the Idea by -wJilch -nations stand and fall. Be the Just pride of this hour's achievement your full invitation to the larger Bervlce. So may th Alaska-Yukon-Pacific be come a historic na-ne. so may it and you be corporate ?-uvors in the never-ending effort to work out through agencies material and transient as well as those spiritual and eternal, the far-off solution of the baffling problem of man's purpose and his destiny both here and hereafter. TAFT PRESSES KEY OF GOLD Sends Across Continent Signal That Opens A.-Y.-P. Exposition. WASHINGTON, June 1. The ceremony of pressing the gold key in the east room of the White House, by which President Taft today formally opened the Alaska-Yukon-Paciflc Exposition. was simple. There was a delay of 15 minutes at Seat tle In completing arrangements and It was 3:16 P. M. (Washington time) when President Taft touched ih. mid.. graph Instrument. The wires were working -through from the Exposition grounds at Seattle to the White House.

REFUSES TO GIVE UP BOOKS Recorder Johnson. Recites That He Has Made Demands In Vain on Mayor and Council to Canvass Vote of Recall Election. OREGON CITY, Or.. June 1 (Special.) Mayor Heylman and Councilmen J. F. Lovelace, C. F. Howe, William Dale, B. O. Boswell and A. Havens, of Estacada, were this afternoon cited to appear in the Circuit Court on June 5 at 10 A. M. and show cause why they should not be arrested for contempt of court. The court made the order of citation at the instance of A. N. Johnson, re corder of Estacada. Johnson filed an affidavit in which it Is stated that the mayor and councilmen steadfastly refuse to deliver over fo him the books and records pertaining to the affairs of his office, though he has demanded these books and records from each and all of them. Recorder Johnson was last month re moved from office by Mayor Heylman and the five Councilman, and he secured a writ of review before Judge Campbell and his office was ordered restored to him. It is apparent that this order has been ignored by the Estacada adminis tration, in so far as the restoration of the records of the office are concerned. The Mayor and Councilmen of Esta cada were recalled at a special election held two weeks ago, but they refuse to give up their respective offices and Mayor-elect Reed and the five Coun cilmen who were chosen at the recall election have obtained a writ of manda mus to compel Mayor Heylman and his associates to canvass' the returns of tha recall election. The biennial city election of Estacada will be held next Tuesday and theT-e are two tickets in the field, one of them headed by Heylman and the other by Reed, old-time rivals in the affairs of the city. The candidates for Councilmen are the incumbents on one side and the men who were chosen at the recall elec tion on the other.

" 8 DREADNOUGHTS NEEDED Insists Larger Navy la Absolutely Jfeceseary for Nation's Safety. Aerial Engines of Warfare Are Being Studied. VICTORIA, B. C, June 1 (Special.) While denying the statement attributed to him by Eastern newspapers that war between Britain and Germany Is Im mediately Inevitable, Lord Clanwilliam. now visiting- here, emphatically asserts that Britain's unpreparedness against in vasion by "a foreign power is patent to all observers and the danger of such In vasion Imminent." "England must " have eight Dread noughts this year instead of the four planned at present," says his lordship. "If Britain does not enlarge her naval programme and build more battleships this year to maintain inviolate her long boasted naval supremacy, the time will come, and before long, when a stronger power will pounce down upon her and take her unawares. It is natural .inev itable. Britain should not only build eight more Dreadnoughts this year se should continue to build sufficient mod ern ships to absolutely guarantee her position as mistress of the seas. Such action would mean no war." - Asked as to the part to be played In the wars of the future by aerial navies Lord Clanwilliam Baid the time had not yet come for the serious adoption of aerial fleets. "Britain," he said, "is closely watch ing the development of the airship as an engine of war. A highly technical committee of naval and military offi cers and civilian scientists is now con sidering all matters involved and will report to the Government what can and what cannot be done, as well as in its opinions what the government should do.
