B montlw rm.T. i.kasfo wrnn rajrcitArH THE ASTORIA In 1911 will be celebrated Ihecentennial of the Astor expedi tion founding the first white settlement at the mouth of tho Columbia river. . , . A fort and stockade were built, the American flap; was floated over the virgin territory, and there was actual occupation by white men. . Two years later the British poseasion was accomplished. But at the treaty of Ghent the fact that Fort Astoria floated tho American flag decided the possession of Oregon in favor of Uncle Sam.' -" v - ; ; ' ". What the enterprise of the German fur trader accomplished one hundred years ago is to be commemorated with a fitting cele bration. - A delegation of Astorians sprung the proposition at the Salem Development Congress. 1 . It was so well received on tha occasion, as presented by Editor Gratke, of the Budget, and Rev.Watkins and Secretary Cran shaw that the second shot was fired Tuesday night . with a rever berating bang. ' ........ - Ths was done at a magnificent booster banquet held at the new Weinhard-Astoria Hotel, at which 165 of Astoria's solid busi ness men sat down togather and were thoroughly Imbued with the spirit of the occasion. As one progressive young Astorian wittingly remarked, it was lime to wake up once in a hundred years. Paraphrasing Napoleon's address to his army in tne presence of the pyramids of Egypt; Secretary Cranshaw told them the century was looking down on them. "'' The next step will be to have a delegation of Astorians wait on Colonel Astor, of New York, on his return from Europe, and invite him to be present. ? Bringing the representativesof that illustrious family of mil lionaires , to Oregon, will accomplish wonderful results in advertis ing the state. The Astorians are slow to start, but when they go after any thing in earnest they are a whirlwind community. A committee was formed to get $50,000 subscribed, and they will do it in 24 hours. - A general committee of 100 is to be created, one for each of the 100 organized counties now comprising the three states of the old Oregon country. ' r. The mala work of outlining the plans of the centennial fell up on F. W. Jobelmart, who has had some practical experience m working up the IIudson-Fulton Centennial of New York. ' Inspiring addresses were delivered by Mayor Smith, ex-Mayor W'iso, Rev. Waters, General Finzer and Col. Foote, U. S. A. The banquet at the Weinhard-Astoria was perfect in all its ap rointments, "from soup to nuts." A block of wood from the old Astoria stockade, built where mow the Astoria hospital stands, was shown on the banquet table It was discovered by Hon. Ben S. Worsley, in making excava tions lor a sewer. The Astoria Centennial is to be commemorated as an historic event, with pageants on land and water of the .greatest educa tional value. , s A monument is to be erected as part of the Centennial pro gram i ionor oi the Astor familly. Every school child in America will learn where the flag first went up on a fortification that meant possession. ' The Astorians will keep the hintorical significance of thfelv eel-, cbration to the front, and will not make it a mere dollar grafting exposition, and the whole Northwest will support tthe enterprise with the loyalty and patriotism becoming the occasion. CARRYING OREGON FOR The old political machine at Portland seems determined to send Oregon over into the permanent Democratic column. ' They are now trying to have President Taft reappoint P. S. Malcolm collector of customs. Mr. Malcolm is a man of highest character, but he is not worth fifteen cents to the Republican party in a campaign. The principal federal appointments Jn Oregon are frittered way on the purely ornamental, bangle-wearing brigade who do not even vote the Republican ticket. President Taft makes a serious mistake when he appoints men -who make war on progressiva Republican policies. , Warfare on the Direct Primary Law, on Direct Election of Senators, lb all that men like Malcolm and Colwell represent. That is all tblr backers represent, and then President Taft Is jspt to wonder v.hy Orugon goca Democratic. Because of this studied program of the standpatters to put the party in an attittude of hostility to the people, you frequently hoar the statement that neither Taft nor Roosevelt can carry Or con for the Republican party in 1912. The serious need of the Republican party in Oregon is to take a look ahead, if it wants to get ahead. "" . The rank and file will not surrender the political weapons that icnable them to fight down special interests. When the party is used to reward men who want to rob the ople of those weapons the people revolt The people of Oregon have only the kindest feelings personal ly towards President Taft, but they will not surrender basic It iiiciplos of progress in public affairs.

Rapid extension of the present Hill line in Oregon and the construction of nef ones particularly in central Oregon and in th Willamette valley and coast counties are promised by Jamo J. Hill, the railroad builder, who ts lit Portland today on a tour of Inspection. . Accompanied by George B. Harris, chairman of the board of dlrectori of the Burlington system, W. B. Dean, director of the Great North ern, bis son-in-law and several cap italists, the veteran railroad man ar rived here last night in bis private nar direct from St. Paul. According to Hill today the Ore- son Trunk line will eventually a extended toward California from the Dresent proposed terminus at Bend; tTie United Electric Railways will be extended to TUlamoolT Harbor and thore is a big possibility that an in- dupendont depot will be erected in Portland. Hill stated also 'that a'l the railroads radiating out of Port land probably will be consolidated into one large corporation similar to the one recently formed by the Har- rlman system when the North Coast, Ilia .J I S VI U w.. - - - a and ten subsidiary companies were merced Into the Oregon, Washing ton Railroad and Navigation com pany. Speaking of the Hill lines now building into Central Oregon, Hill said: "It is certajn that we will extend our lines In Oregon. Whether we will build directly south or whether we will strike out In another direc tion, depends largely upon the fu ture development of Oregon. We 111. wltheut doubt, extend our lines beyond Bend and we hope to do this In a very short time." DON'T GET RUN DOWN. ' Wo. k mnA mUoritll.
