TO GET HARBOR FUNDS
PORTLAND. Or.. Ag. 10. (Spec
lal) . A harbor' congreaa, to be par
ticlpated In by cities of the state,
located at points reached by ocean
vessels, will be one of the big fea
lures of the Oregon Development
League convention at Astoria, August
14. 15 and 16.
At this session steps will be taken
to obtain concerted action by Oregon
cltlea in getting appropriations from
the government for river and harbor
work. Heretofore each city Intending
to Improve Its shipping facilities has
had to go It alone and the appropria
tion depended largely upon the good
luck or political strength of the port
applying for funda.
It I proposed under the new sys
tem to change all this and lend the
united assistance of Oregon cities to
merlorloua projects for harbor Ira
proveraent.
Of great Importance In this con
nectlon will be a symposium on the
benefits to come to the Pacific Coast
from the opening of the Panama
Canal. The two aubjecta naturally
have a close relation and are points
that must be considered by this state
If It Is to realize to the utmost the
good effects of the canal.
Although James J. Hill, the empire
builder, finds It Impossible to attend
tlie" league convention. as he had
hoped, he will forward his address
to be read. Coupled with the De
velopment League sessions will be
the attractions of the Astoria's Cen
tennial, which promise splendid en
tertainment for delegatea. The As
torlans will entertain the leaguers In
great style, for the City by the Sea
Is noted for the warm welcome it ex
tends to visitors. Reports from' the
various commercial bodies throughout
the state Indicate a large attendance
during the three-day session.

A8TORIA, Aug. 10. (Special)
Aatoiia'a centennial was opened aus
piciously tbia afternoon amid the
booming of cannon, the ringing of
bells and the shrieks of many whist
les. More than 10,000 persona were
present, when President Taft at Bal

The program opened with a parade
mai was more man a mue long.
Headed by "a platoon of police, after
which came Ellery's band, the proces

at the forts, and members of the Cen

In bis address, Mr. Barrett said In
part:
I have now much satisfaction In
reading to you the telegram which I
received directly from the President,
and which contains a message to the
people of. the "Oregon country."
"Hon. John Barrett, Portland, Or.:
I wish you would represent me at the
opening of the Astoria Centennial
celebration on August 10. Please ex
press to the people of the "Oregon
country" my hearty congratulations
on the wonderful prosperity that has
marked the development of that

Astoria Settled In 1811.
Aatorla was settled In 1811 by an
expedition financed by John Jacob
A st or, of New York. The expedition,
unlike the expeditions sent into the
far West and Northwest by the two
great English fur trading companlea,
the Northwest Company end the Hud
son Bay Company, had as Its co-ordinate
purpose the colonization of
ihe territory, not alone Immediately
surrounding the mouth of the Colum
bia River, but all the territory drain
ed by the Columbia River and Its tri
butaries. By a confusion of geograph
ical facts, the Columbia and the Fra
ser Rivers were presumed, to be Iden
tical, hence the equally erroneous
supposition that- the Columbia drain
ed the entire country from the Cali
fornia Hue north to a point 40 de
gress north of the 64th parallel, north
latitude, and east to the summit of
the Stony (Rocky) Mountains. In
after years, during the Oregon contro
versy, which gave rise to the slogan,
"Flfty-four-forty or fight." though the
existence of both rivers had been as
certained, the United States, because
they were In Astor's time supposed
Identical, maintained It claim to the
Fraser River country on the ground
that Astor's, colonization scheme In
cluded it as part of the supposed Co
lumbia River watershed.
Astor was unwise in the selection
of his associates In the -venture, for

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Ex Presi
dent Roosevelt haa an article, entitled
"Alaska Again," In the current num
ber of the Outlook.
After taking Issue with ' a news
paper statement that during the
Roosevelt administration the same
courae bad been pursued aa had been
pursued later In connection with
Controller Bay. Mr. Roosevelt dis
cusses some of the general phases of
Alaskan development and adds:
"The government must itself con
trol the development of Alaska, and
adopt as the guiding principle the
Idea of shaping that development In
the Interest primarly of the people '
as a whole, the syndcate or other de
velopng agences thus recevlng bene
fit only a can be Incident to con
ferring 1L
"I do not think the task Is a very
difficult one, if only we, the people,
personally and through our represen
tatives, approach It with this purpose
clearly in mind, and if w Insist that
the agents of the government act
with an understanding of the needs
of the. people and a resolute purpose
to see those needs accomplished, eveo
though it be necessary to override
the representatives of the great in
terests who wish to prevent Alaskan
development unless It la shaped pri
marily to benefit those interests."
"The article assumed that I waa
deceived by Messrs. Garfield and
PlncboL It Is hardly necessary to
say that any such assumption man be
made either with Intent to be hum
orous or -with a full knowledge of Its
falsehood.
"I waa in a peculiar sense responsi
ble for every act of Mr. Plnchot and
Mr. Garfield when they held office
under me. They represented to a
very special degree the policies and
principles which I had especially at .
heart, and, while of course there are
necessarily many actions I took on
their recommendation with the de
tails of which It waa Impossible for
me to be acquainted, I was absolutely
and entirely cognizant of the princi
ples In accordance with which each
one of these acta waa taken, and each .
act faithfully represented the putting
into effect of the principle in which I
believed and which I had laid down
for the guidance of my administra
tion. (
"In every part of the country in
which there are forest reserves, it
haa been found, and it will in the fu
ture be found neceaary to make elim"
