Ible to Include San Diego In the Itinerary Kif his present trip. Enthusiastic Over Canal. President Taft's unqualified statement in his speeches delivered here, that the Panama Canal would be completed in 1515 aroused frreat enthusiasm, as the entire Pacific Coast Is expecting greatly 'to profit by the short all-water route .from the 'Eastern seaboard and the open ,tng of European markets to thla section. JU1 of the South and Central American countries, especially those of the west coast, are to be invited to take a preten klous part in the Panama Exposition. Tb extension of trade between the United 'States and South America, the President declared, was another feature of the ex position which elicited his deep interest. "When the President left hero at mld ! siia-ht and headed to the south, he had completed 6000 miles of his 13.000-mile f Journey. In matter of elapsed time; 'however, his Journey was less than one third completed. Eight Set Speeches Completed. During tie time) be has been "On the rroad." the President ha made eight ' speeches of first Importance which have l clearly set forth his views of nearly every question of Importance, and he an nounced tonight that he had completed (the list of set addresses,, which he had i planned before leaving Beverly. The (president's speeches during the re mainder of his trip will be entirely ex temporaneous in character and will con eist largely of references to and amplifl i cations of those he already has made. In making his set speeches the Presi dent, selected in the different cities visited the subject which he believed to be of i greatest Interest to his hearers. Starting from Boston, for instance, he i made there the first of his set speeches i on finance and currency legislation, i speaking especially of the work the i monetary commission appointed by Con Vgress has undertaken to do. His Views on Day's Issnes. I At Chicago the President discussed ' labor and injunctions. At Milwaukee he i discussed and approved the establlsh ' ment of a postal savings bank system; at Winona, Minn., he made plain his posi tion with reference to the Payne tariff bill, and the new tariff commission; at Des Moines, la., he outlined his ideas f needed amendments to the Inter state Commerce and anti-trust laws; at Denver ho devoted his remarks to the corporation tax and dwelt upon what he ' deemed Its advantages in preference to a direct income tax; at Spokane, where the Irrigation Congress had been held ,but a short time previous to his visit, it he President dUcusaed the conservation f natural resources and the reclama- (ion of arid lands, and lastly, at the , Alaska-Tukon-Paclfic Exposition he gave ' Ms views regarding the future govern ' merit of Alaska by a commission and came out flat-footed for a ship subsidy law. The President's outspoken opposition to self-government for Alaska unques tionably created something of a sensa tion in this section, and came right on the heels of the dispatch of a monster petition from Alaska asking his support in favor of home rule In that far-away possession. The speech has been widely discussed, and has attracted greater in terest in Mr. Taft's announcement that he would personally visit Alaska next year to see conditions for himself. Expects to Visit Alaska. It is understood that the President will make no specific recommendations to Congress for legislation affecting the. territory until after his visit. The Presi dent has taken particular pains to let it be known that he has a deep Interest in Alaska and that he feels the people there have been somewhat neglected in the past. His position in favor of Gov ernment help in building railroads to help open up the vast areas of territory has bten received with enthusiasm. The President will arrive in Portland at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, and after upending two days there, will continue his Journey to the southward. The turn toward the East will be made at Los Angeles the night of October 12. Tart Talks of Cnchman. It was well after dark when the yacht bearing the President reached the wharf here. The entire water front was crowded and the streets lead ing to the Union Club were thronged with people. The crowd at the Armory tonight overflowed into the streets out side. The President devoted the first half of his speech to an eulogy of the lata Representative Cushman, who lived In Tacoma. and suggested the erection of a monument to his memory In Wright's Park. N The President related a number of anecdotes characteristic of Mr. Cush man. and said his visit to Tacoma was saddened by the fact that Mr. Cush man was no longer here to greet him. Mr. Taft then took up again the sub ject of Alaska and what should be done there to better conditions. The President's renewal of his prom ise to urge upon Congress at its com ing session the adoption of a ship sub sidy bill and his reference to Tacoma s harbor as one of the finest in the world ' elicited the greatest enthusiasm.

OREGON TRUNK CHANGES Relocates Survey on West Side of River While Harriman Line Will Follow East Bank Through Canyon, Avoiding: Tunnel. Conflicts in rights of way In the canyon of the Deschutes River between the Des chutes Railroad Company and the Oregon Trunk Line seem to be slowly but surely adjusting themselves. Jackson Smith, vice-president of the Oregon Trunk Line, who has returned from a trip of inspection over the route of the road from the mouth of the Des chutes to Bend, states that the Oregon Trunk Line has relocated its route from Mile 23 to the vicinity of Sherar"s bridge. distance of 15 miles, so that it is now on the west side of the river. The Oregon Trunk Line's original sur vey took the west side of the river at the mouth of the Deschutes and crossed over to the east side at Mile 23, then recrossed about Mile SS. From the mouth until it leaves the canyon the Harriman road has located its line on the east bank of the river. Embraced in the 16 miles mentioned is the Horseshoe Bend country, where the forces of the opposing contractors last Summer nearly came to blows in a spec tacular attempt by Porter Bros, to block wagon road leading into the canyon. Tunnel Is Avoided. The Oregon Trunk Line, by taking the opposite side of the river, avoids tunnel ing the tongue of Horseshoe Bend and it is asserted by Mr. Smith that an excel lent survey has been secured on the west bank. . The remaining principal points of con flict are above Sherar's bridge, where the Oregon Trunk Line crosses to the east bank, and at the crossing of Crooked River, where both roads have surveyed a crossing at the same spot- Mr. Smith says these conflicts will ad- Just themselves In his opinion, as he is thoroughly convinced there is room for both roads. The Oregon Trunk Line, says Mr. Smith, now has a steam shovel at work near the mouih of the Deschutes and a gang of several hundred laborers is grading ths right of way over the Moody and Gov ernment dam sites. Another large camp is located above Sherar's bridge and a third at Crooked River Crossing. Waffon Roads Being Built. At other points, because of the necessity of making relocations and cross-sectioning, the contractors' men have been en gaged In building wagon roads in order that supplies and equipment can be taken into the camps that will be established. About MOO men are now at work in the contractors' camps. In order to hasten construction, the engineering forces of the Oregon Trunk Line have been doubled within the last ten days. There is now one surveying party an average of every seven miles for a distance of 160 miles. The contractors are prepared to double the force of workmen as soon as engi neering preliminaries are ready, and it is expected this condition will be reached In about three weeks. Work Exceedingly Heavy. Mr. Smith, who has been engaged in railroad work in many different localities in this country and in the Andes in South America, says at some places along the route to Central Oregon the heaviness of the work exceeds anything he ever saw. "It is a country of wonderful scenery," aid he yesterday, "and when Central Oregon is reached, the land presents vast possibilities. In the vicinity of Bend, any thing that will grow In a temperate xone can be raised with the aid of irrigation. Once water is turned on the soil, vegeta tion springs up like magic. The people there are delighted over the certainty of a railroad, and the railroad man Is wel comed with both hands." O. R. & X. Prints Programmes. Fifty thousand cards bearing the programme for President Taft's enter tainment and the line of parade have been printed by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, and will be dis tributed throughout the city today with the compliments of the company.

I wish to express my appreciation for the efficient help that the teachers and all concerned have given me in getting ready the exercises."
