10 EH3B MORNING ORKGONIAJT, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1905. FOB A CHANNEL OF FORT! FEET Brigadier-General Mackenzie Believes Columbia Bar Can'Be Lowered. FAVOR THE APPROPRIATION Government Engineers Inspect Jetty nt Mouth of River and Consider Problems of Constant War fare Against the Sea. ASTXDRIA, Or.. Sept- 14. (Special Cor respondence.) That the Government proj ect at the mouth of the Columbia River, whenfinished, will deepen the bar chan nel to 40 feet Is the opinion of Brlgndier General Alexander Mackenzie, In charge of the United States Engineer Corps, who viewed the river entrance 'today, as did the special board of Government engi neers that nearly four years ago devised the project. General Mackenzie aw that the plana of that board, though S'et only partly carried out, had added four feet to the bar depth in the last two years. He wa accompanied by members' of the Board of Ordnance and Forti HcattoH. whose.' duty was inspection of the Army poets at Fort Stevens, Fort Canby And Fort Columbia, and who took a trip out to sea on the Jetty tramway, nearly six miles from shore a ride which, for distance to sen, they and General Mackenzie said was unlike any In the world. Brigadier-General S. M. Mills. Chief of Artillery, was 1b the party; also Major-General J. K Storey, chairman of the Board of Ord nance and Fortification, and Major-Gen-oral George W. Goethals. member of the - General Staff, .acting as recorder. Others In the party were Major S. W. Roessler, district engineer in charge of the jetty work; Captain Amos A. Fries, assistant to Major Roeslcr; W. A.' Thompson, of La Crosse, "Wis., assistant ongineer for the Upper Mississippi, and Mrs. Thompson; David B. Ogden. assist ant engineer for the local district, and Mrs. Ogden; Gerald Bagnall, assistant engineer- In local charge. Appropriation Favored. General Mackenzie's visit is fortunate for the bar work, especially at this time, "when continuance of the jetty needs a large appropriation from Congress, and when work must soon stop unless more funds shall be forthcoming He showed active interest in the project and ox--prewjed solicitude for the commercial In twests of the Columbia River In an un mistakable manner. One thing Is sure: If the Columbia bar needs a strong frionJ at Washington this "Winter, that frioJfd will be General Mackenzie. As a token of hie wish for the Columbia improve ment, one of his associate engineers re marked today: "It is a long journey for the General to make to this Coast, and had it not boon for Wg projects like that of this Jetty, which he desired to see, I doubt if we could have induced him to come." r And General Mackenzie's own words Indicated tbjs was the truth. He "had come down from Portland the day before In the lighthouse tender Columbine, In order to view the river all the way from Portland, and to impress the merits of that great water highway on his mind. . He had done this, though the train could have borne him to Astoria much quicker than the steamer. Bright and early this morning lie was astir, admiring the scar let sunrise and scanning the river up and down. An Interested Expert. As the Columbine carried the party to Fort Stevens, his eyes were everywhere, and when the Jetty cars took him and tlie other visitors out to sea. along the Tocky chain of jetty. he viewed everything with keen Interest, asking many ques tions of General Bagnall, the assistant en gineer in local charge of construction. He said he hoped Congress would further hiu uie jeny, ana - remarked that the project deserved the best skill of the engineers, because of the commercial In terests involved and the physical difficul ties presented. He listened closely to the recital of the Northern Pacific's "plan of building a railroad from Eastern Wa' ington down the nortli bank of the Columbia, and Instantly perceived what prestige such a road would add to the water highway which was sending its currents out to sea beneath his feet. This was when General Mackenzie was riding out on the Jetty, and as he spoke he was Interrupted by the plunges of ten and 12-ton rocks, which vteqp- being dumpod Into their places from a" train of cars alongside. As he watched the churn of the waters he was asked: A Forty-Foot Channel Possible. "Is a 40-foot channel over this bar an engineering possibility?" "Yes," was his prompt response. "The present Jetty may not bring that depth, but if not. there is good reason to be lieve that the addition of a jetty from the north shore will do so. You know a north Jetty Is contemplated la tho projjet which has been approved by the Secretary of War. It Is my opinion that the south jetty will afford, all the depth needed for vessels at present, but wheth er Its Improvement would be permanent, or whether the channel would revert to old conditions as when the Jetty was first finished is the question. General Mackenzie was hopeful that the south Jetty finished would scour out a 30-foot depth, tho same as that achieved Jn 1895. before the reaction which, in 1902, had shoaled the bar to 19 feet at mean low tide. In fact, he was more than hopeful, he believed -it could be accomplished. As he spoke the car passed over a "hole" whose bottom was 78 feet "below the tramway. This meant that the, slender pllop. supporting the car and locomotive were at least 108 -feet long because sunk 30 feet In thousand beneath. "Yes" spoke up Mr. Bagnall, as this depth was mentioned, ""that is true. In some parts of this tramway the piles are 112 feet long. "Indeed?" replied General Mackenzie, surprised. "Those are very long sticks, to be sure. They are all gone from our country," and thus Oregon timber came In for a rich compliment. Sei, Fighting Engineers.' The. heavy swell that reigns on the "bar was -"remarked by General Mackenzie and Engineer Thompson. Mr. Thompson said that the low-tide depth at the Mis sissippi entrance was 26 feet, and as sented ttf the opinion that tho Columbia bar with 30 feet would have tho same relative depth, owing to the heavy swell and tho consequent sag of vessels In the dip of the waves. The big billows have made hard problems for the engineers at all times. Their energy has .torn out thousands of feet of "tramway, swept away rocks weighing tons and beaten down the Jetty into the sand. And though today was "clear and calm the billows were beating against the Jetty with terrific force. As the visitors gazed. Engineer Bagnall remarked: "Few persons realize the difficulties In the way of this Jetty' "What difficulties,?" was asked. "See that stone now going Into the BABg DACj AT' THE EXPOSITION """ .J. ...... , , ritntt,,,t,tJtttt-tt'tttt i.

Jo matter what ones h"e gives the decision to. that decision is bound to be unpopular with all the rest, and there is some talk of using diplomacy arid awarding prizes to all .contestants. Many proud parents are already training their young hopefuls tor the event. Tlllll. I,....,....' IIIIMMHIII.IMIIII J Jetty? It had to be transported more than 100 miles before It got here. See that tramway? We had to build It new this year for a long distance. It was swept out by last Winter's storms." For information of those persons who have forgotten the old Jetty work It may be cited that the building of the jetty began In 1SS5, when the minimum bar depth was 19 feet, and wasVusncd for ward rapidly from 1SS9 to lSDSnvhen the depth attained 30 feet. The work was then stopped and soon thereafter the bar, pushed further to sea by the Jetty, be gan to shoal. The shoaling continued to such a do-, gree that in 1902 a special board of engineers was detailed to devise plans for deepening the channel. This board met In Portland at the close of the year 1902. and on January 23. 1903. submitted a report, which was approved by Brigadier-General G. L. Gillespie, chief of engineers, and by Ellhu Root, Secretary of War. The board was composed of Major W. L. Marshall, Captain Edward Burr. Captain J. C. Sanford, Captain C. E. Gillette and Captain C. H. McKinstry. Today the party will view the Colum bia River as far up as Casca.de Locks. PACIFJC COAST ASSOCIATION AT THE FAIR GROUNDS.

SAW THE FAIR BHiIj SIGNED Colonel Palmer Presont When Ap propriation Was Made Law. Colonel William M. Palmer, who was present when President Roosevelt signed the Lowls and Clark .appropriation bill, wag a visitor to the Exposition yesterday. Colonel Palmer is chief xlerk of the com mlttlee of enrolled bills of the United States Senate. He said that the Exposi tion was of particular Interest to him, inasmuch as he saw a few strokes of the President's pen start the enterprise on the road to success. . "There wag very little ceremony about the signing of 'the olll," said Colonel Pal mer yestcrdas. "With the unfortunate Senator Mitchell, I handed the bill to the President, who glanced through It and remarked that he was glad to slgnvthe paper. He then affixed his signature." Colonel Palmer will remain here several days before returning to Washington. He gained his military title for bravery in ac tion with the Fifteenth Pennsylvania-Cavalry during the Cl-ll War. ft Outing's Special Edition. D. Allen Willey. .of Outing Magazine, reached tho Lewis and Clark Exposition yesterday to begin the work of collecting data for a special edition of his maga zine, which- is to be devoted to Oregon and Washington. The-special edition. Mr. Willey -says. Is a direct rewilt of the Port land Exposition, which has aroused Inter est regarding1 the Northwest throughout' the country. Several articles for the edi tion Yrtll be written by representative men, and Mr. Willey will prepare a num ber of them himself. The articles will deal for the most part with the people of the Northwest and the efrect of North westerp development on the future of America. The edition will be published in January or February. 1 Nebraska Exhibit. IFree moving: "nlctura exfefhtHnn fcraalca Pavilion, Agricultural Palae. ,j v .

ADanssioxs, 21,304. The turnstiles recorded 21,304 admis sions to the Exposition yesterday. Plans for Portland day at tho Lewis and Clark Exposition were announced yesterday morning, and at the same time special coupon tickets were placed on sale down town. It Is Intended to make the day the biggest occasion of the en tire Fair in the matter of attendance, not even excepting ODenlntr dav or tha Fourth of July. Governor Chamberlain Is shortly to Is sue a proclamation declaring Portland day. September 00. a public holiday. The trade organizations of the city have as sured tho Exposition management that their heartr co-ODeratlon mav bV ex pected. Mayor Lane Is to appoint a Port- iana aay committee to assisj. in arousing local interest. Gate Receipts AVill Be Heavy. The gate receipts will undoubtedly be heavier than upon any other two days. for the reason that there will be no re duced rate of admission and all pss holders will be expected to pay. While this will not be compulsory, all are ex pecjed. to view the matter In the light of duty. The same attitude will undoubt edly be taken by Fortlanders, and It Is believed that at least a quarter of Port land's population will rally patriotically to the support of their city's day. All stores arftl business houses will be closed, according to Governor Chamberlain's forthcoming proclamation, and employers will be asked to present their employes with tickets to the Fair. .The railroad companies arc to be urged' to utilize all available rolling stock In excursions to Portland. Attractive Programme for Day. The programme for the day ia attrac tive. There will be no speechmaklng or other exercises, but plenty of special events of a spectacular nature. The fea ture of tha forenoon will be an airshlr race between George Tomllnson and Lin coln Beechey In the airships Gelatine and City of Portland. It will be the first race of the season and one of the very few ever held. The airships are to run over a course between the aeronautic con course and a point a mile or two north of the Government building. In the-even ing the greatest naval battle of the Fair will be held. It will be the Exposition's last mimic battle, and neither pains nor expense will be spared. Other features are to. be added. The special tickets now on sale are attractive In design. They are souvenir tickets, a part of .them being detachable, so that the holder may have a fitting souvenir of the day. - The usual rate of admission will be In effect. The places of sale at present are Woodard & Clarke 3 drug store and Meier & Frank's store. Mrs. Dye Honored Guest. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, author of "The Conquest," was the guest of honor at a reception In the Maine State building yesterday afternoon. Many were in at tendance and the reception proved a pleasant affair. Mrs. Dye read an inter esting paper on "Men From Maine" and spoke at length on Longfellow. Her pa per will be printed In Its entirety In The Sunday Oregonlan. FOLK FOR THE PRESIDENCY (Continued From Page 1.) no mistake In selecting Governor Folk as their leader In the coming campaign, say ing the MIssourlan was the -natural suc cessor to President Roosevelt, as they were ever so much alike. This set the crowd wild and there was a spontaneous and almost deafening out burst of applause that was not' unlike the terrible .cannonade that ensuesX when a sham naval battle Is fought on Guild's Lake. The outburst of enthusiasm was loud and prolonged, arid It was fully five minutes before It had subsided sufficient ly to allow the continuation of the exer cises. "Folk! Folk!" was heard from all parts of the house during the applause. Governor Chamberlain concluded his re marks by stating that with Governor Par dee on the Republican side, and Governor Folk, the Democratic nominee, the people would be. assured of an able President, who would Teflect nothing but credit, on his country. ft- Prcscntatlon to Folk. " Followlnr -Governor Chamberlain mm the presentation of a small bar of silver to Governor Folk from the miners of the Hercules mine, in the Coeur d'Alene min ing, district, It was presented by R. F. Collins, presldent of the St. Louis & Idaho Mining &: Milling Company. Mr. Collins briefly stated that Governor Folk had many uuimrtrs among tne miners 01 mat famous district, and that thev tnnk ad vantage of his visit to the Exposition by sending mm we saver bar, as a memento of their lasting respect and esteem. Governor Folk wo, unnarcntli- Ynniv affected by the gift, and graciously ac knowledged It wlttr a few appropriate words. Governor FoIJc then thanked the Lewis and Clark Exposition management fo the royal receptlon that had been ac corded him. and also, said nice things, about the City of Portland and Oregon. Governor Folk's Address. After responding to the addresses of welcome tlat had been. made by the dif ferent speakers, he began his address proper. It was devoted largely to the duties of a public servant. He scathingly arraigned boodlers and grafters, all of which met the -heartiest approval of the audience. Again and again Govprnor Folk was In terrupted by applause, resulting' from pointed remarks relative to the cleaning out of boodlers and grafters. His remarks concerning the enforcement of all the" laws of the State of Missouri elicited great ap plause. At tlmeshe outbursts of applause were so great In -volume that the huge Audito rium would fairly shake. Men, women and children united In cheering, hand clapping and stamping their feet. Hun dreds of handkerchiefs were also waved. Several times the assemblage united In giving three cheers for Governor Fol&. Governor Folk Is a magnetic and ex tremely interesting speaker, and holds the absolute attention of his audience. He Is particularly forceful his manner of ad dressing an audience, but 'he does not carry- It to an extreme. One cannot help being deeply Impressed with his sincerity and strength of purpose.- Mayor Dr. Harry Lane, of "Portias. was the last speaker. Mayor. Lane said that Governor Folk hacr expressed exactly his own Ideas regarding the duties of pub- ni.- oiiicmis. .Mayor juane talked mostly In a light vein of thought. He said tho whole of Portland belonged to Governor rolk, and that he could do whatever he desired and that he would see personally that therexas, no Interference. The oth er numbers on the programme were vocal solos by Mrs. Frank EBerle-wIfe of the manager of the locaPpress bureau at tho Exposition, and , J. T. White. Mrs. Eberle scored a great hit through her beautiful singing, and the applause wa3 so loud and- persistent that she was obliged- to render an encore. Mr. White also gave an encore, after having been warmly applauded. Following the exercises, Governor Folk shook hands with nearly every person In the Auditorium. They came so thick and so fast that he was obliged to use fcoth. of his hands. After this then was a re ception in the Missouri building." which was tendered Governor Folk by the Mis souri State Commission. What the Governor Said. The following Is Governor Folk's ad dress. In part: The greatest obstacle In the way o good government, the greatest hindrance to the progress of righteousness, la the, inactivity of good citizens. The country needs men lav times of peace even more than In war. "When good citizens disregard their obligations to their country they leave control to undesir able elemenu. These, demand of those elected that they be served even If the public Inter ests nutter. U an official refuses to pros titute his trust he Is put under the ban of their disapproval and forever after that dis barred from holding public office that Is. If these elements have their way about It, and they generally do. But once In a while the whirlwind of an Indignant people sweeps them aside for a time. The strength of the lawlesa Is great, but- It Is as nothing when It comes m contact with an arousea public conscience. St. Louis showed this when the people there, weary of the domination of cor ruptlonlsts, arose and overthrew them. Phil adelphia at last awoke from her slumbers, and determined to do something. Though the gang was strong It was shattered be neath the shafts of public opinion, under the leadership of Mayor Weaver. What has been done in St. Louis, what Is being done in iruiaueiphla. can be done anywhere. The .people can overthrow civic evils when ever they want to, and can get just as good government as they deserve, or as bau as they permit It to become. There Is hardly a community In this country where the law abiding people are not in tha majority. They are usually quiet, though, while the lawless are so loud-mouthed as to deceive many as to their number. The majority of the peo ple are honest and want good government, but the minority are perniciously active. The lawless stand on the street corners and talk, talk, talk all the time; while the law-abiding are timid and unobtrusive. A dozen law-breakers can make more noise than 500 law-abiding citizens, but they do not count for much against the united ef forts of the law-abiding. Law-breakers curse and swear and bulldoze, but they are cowards, and If resolutely fought can be overcome. They are always active, how ever, while the average good citizen be comes active only occasionally. They sur round an official and sing to him the siren song of the good politics of serving them instead of the public. Unless tho official be strong he "will be led astray by their allur ing promises. As a matter of fact, when ever the lawless have strength in politics It Is because of the default of the law-abiding. I had rather have the lawless openly agalnst me than on my side In any political fight. I do not want their support In my official acts. I had rather have their enmity than their good wllL If I can please the law-aldlng and displease the lawless I shall be satisfied. Law-breakers do not know good from bad. All they know Is politics. But they do know good politics from bad politics. Teach them that lawlessness Is bad polities and tho problem of good government will be near solution. The people can teach them that here and e-erywhere. A state consists not of fietds, forests and cities, but of laws. Take away the laws from the state and there would be no gov ernment left- No man loves his state who deliberately disobeys her laws. The sin of republics Is lawlessness. In a monarchy the government Is sustained by the power of the crown; In a republic the government rests entirely upon the law which a majority of the people make for themselves. If all the laws were Ignored anarchy would be the result, there would be no government at all. When any portion of the laws Is not enforced the government Is weakened to that extent. Laws that are not observed add Just as much to good government as sores do to the strength of the human body. Disregard of one law breeds contempt for all laws, and laws to be effective must be respected. There a entirely too little respect for the majesty of the law In America. This Inevitably leads to corruption, which will. If tolerated, eat Into and destroy civic life. It a dramshop Is allowed to remain open at a time the law demands it be closed, then the gambling laws cannot be conslstentlv enforced! thn other offenses denounced by the law must b I tolerated; then comes grafting by officials for overlooking these violations; then legls- i Iators, Imbued by the same spirit, sell their i votes for bribe money, and a reign of cor- I ruptlon follows. The perpetuity of our gov ernment depends upon the manner Inwhlrh I flur laws are carried out. Nearly eveay state ! nas iaw on the statute books to wftlch no j attention Is paid, and'they reap the rults by having all laws broken. I am notfn alarm- 1st when I 5a- If these conditions be toler- I ated the republic Itself will sooner or later fall by the props of the law on which It I rests Dding weakened ana decayed. GTO3 BANQUET TO FOLK. Governor of Missouri Guest nt En tertainment at American Inn. The banquet given In honor of Gov ernor Folk by the Missouri Commission at the American Inn last night was a fitting close to Missouri day and a worthy tribute to the Exposition's distinguished guest. More than 200 cov ers were laid for the occasion and the guests Included the leaders of Port land society and many of the promi nent vjsltbrs at the Lewis and Clark Fair. The flarge dining-room of the Inn was, tastefully draped with American flags and Lewis and Clark banners, while clusters of sweet peas ornamented the tables. Beautiful music was furnished during the repast by Weber's Orchestra, and several vocal solos by VT. J. Elliott were heartily encored. tE. E. McJlmsey presided and In an elo quent speech told of the close relation ex isting between Missouri and Oregon, and the success which had crowned the efforts of each commonwealth in giving to the world a great Exposition. The following toasts were responded to: "Expositions," President H. W. Goode; "Oregon." Governor George E. Chamber lain; "Reminiscences," George H. Wil liams; "Impressions of the Pacific Coast." Commissioner Kern; "Oregon's Debt to Missouri," W. D. Fenton; "Missouri, tho Mother of Oregon," Governor Joseph Folk. Governor Folk's remarks, which were Interrupted repeatedly by applause, were, in part, as follows: " Wcstward the star of empire takes its way, the poet sang, and standing" here amid this culminating scene of. triumph of the Golden West, upon these summits of achievement In the dawn of the new century, the truth of the saying Is real ized. Now Missouri Is In the East to you. MIssourlans fought their way on toward the Western sea and populated Oregon. Missouri thus became the mother of Ore gon, and she is proud of her child today, and rejoices with you in the success of the Exposition you have been conducting; which has won the admiration of the world and brought countless thousands to view the splendors of thls(yet virgin coun try." Speaking of Missouri and the-iMIssouri idea," Governor Folk said: "It was Missouri tnat commenced the, fight against civic evils, now being made all over this land of ourg, and announced the Idea that citizenship in a free country Implies a chic obligation to enforce the performance of every public trust, holding every puonc oinciai to strict accounta bility before enlightened public opinion for all official acta. It was Missouri that led the flffht against lawlessness, and to day Missouri Is the most law-abiding state in tne union, jsvery city, town, county and township Is Increasing In population, and property Is advancing in value all over the state. This Is true though some r tVia innyMinJIn. Coin.. ! . V. J creasing- In population or simply holding their own. This Is Missouri, the home of brave men and noble women. This is Mis souri, the commercial center of these states and the leader of the fight for goad government. 1 ms w jmssoun, tne motn- r 01 uregon. - i ALARMING CASE SEYEEE TEST OF A BLOOD EEMEDT Iff ERYSIPELAS. r. Williams Pink Pills Banish Pain and. Inflammation and Avert Peril from Tho Vital Organs. " Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is s most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, tho pain and the dis figurement ; it 13 also a very grave dis order, attended abvays by thedanger of involvurg yital organs in its spread. The case -which follows will be read with great interest by-all sufferers as it affected the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies- prescribed hy the physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Col bath, who waa the victim of the attack, residing at No. 19 Winter street, New buryporfe, Mass., says : "In June of 1903 1 was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. I sent for a physician who pronounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said ia would be a long time before I would be up and around. ' ' Inflammation began, on my face and spread all over my body. Myeyeswera. swollen and seemed bulging out of their sockets. I was in, a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain through out my body. The doctor said my case was a very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflamma tion dlrl Tint- Aint-;U 3 1.1-. - which shot through my bodv increased in severity. After being confined to my bed for two months under his care, with out any improvement, I decided to get along without any physician. "Shortly after this, on the advice of fnend, I began to take Dr. "Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, two at a dose three times a day. After the second box had been usedj was surprised taaotica that the inflammation wns going down and that the pains which used to causa mo so much agony had. disappeared.
