A.. 123 Third street, Portland, , PEOPLE WiLL RULE Root Forecasts Future Before Congress at Rio. BRAZIL PAYS HIM HONOR American Statesman Received at Special Session of Pan-American Congress Speaks on the Progress of Democracy. RIO DE JANEIRO, July SI. Secretary Root and his party accompanied by members of the'diplomatic corps, came down to Rio this afternoon from Pe tropolls on a special train. He was met by a large number of prominent persons who went across the bay in three ferry boats. Upon arriving In this lty no drove to the Abrantes palace, where tea was served. At half past nine Mr. Root left the palace to attend the special meeting of the Pan-American Congress held in his honor. The pavilion was surrounded by troops and thousands of students who carried torchlights. The streets leading to the pavilion were festooned with garlands of flowers and made brilliant with many lamps. ' Senor Nabuco, Brazilian Ambassador to the United States, opened the session with an address in which he praised the American Secretary,. Mr. Root, In hia reply, said: How many shortcomlnes are there In our own land and among our own people each one of u la cofwelou, yet no student of our time, can fail to see that not America alone but th wholo oivllixed world is swinging away from the old governmental moorings and entrusting the fate of civilisation to the capacity of the popular man to govern. By this pathway mankind is traveling whithersoever it leads, aJirt upon the success of this great under taking the hope of humanity depend. Nor can we fall to see the world la mak ing substantial progress toward more perfect self-government. I believe it to be true, viewed against the background of conditions a century, a generation, even a decade, ago, that the government of my own country ha advanced in the Intelligent participation of the great mass of the people, the fidelity with which they are represented, respect for the law, obedience to the dictates of sound morality and' in effectiveness and- purity of administra tion. According to the programme there la no great, no Impressive, single thing to be done by you. No political questions are to be dis cussed: no controversies are to be settled, and no judgment Is to be passed upon the conduct of any state; but many subjects are to be considered which afTord the possibility of re moving the barriers to Intercourse and ascer taining, at common benefit, the Advances that have been made by each nation In knowledge, experience, enterprise and the solution of di:n cult questions of government. You are to deal with the ethloal standards of perfecting knowledge of each other, of uolng away with misconception, and misunderstand ing and the resultant prejudices that are such fruitful souroea of controversy. Some advance at least may be made to ward the complete rule of justice and peace among nations In lieu of force and war. Ihe association of so many eminent men of all republics, leaders of opinion In their own homes, must result in friendship that will prove of Inestimable value. We neither rlalm nor desire rights, privileges or power we do not freely concede to every American Repub lic. We wish to ' Increase our prosperity, ex pand our trade and grow in wealth and w;s dom, but our conception of the true way to accomplish this Is not to pull down others and pront- by their rule, but to help our .rioti'ls to common prosperity and to growth, that we may all become greater and stronger together. Within a few months tor the first time the recognized possessors of every foot of soil on the American continent can be, and the hope wilt be reaped with acknowledged rights as equal sovereign states a the world's congress at the Hague. This will be formal and final acceptance of the declaration that no part of the American continent Is to be deemea suoject to colonization. Let us pledge ourselves to aid each other In the full performance to humanity that this accepted deolaratiou Implies, ao In time the weakest and most unfortunate of our reouo lies may come to march with equal step with the stronger and more fortunate. At 10:30 Mr. Root and the other del egates to the congress went to the bal conies of the pavilion to watch a great torchlight procession. A vast throng had gathered about the buildings and many thousands of persons acclaimed the Secretary. MHO'S SIDE OF CASE LESSEE OF WILSON RIVER TOLL ROAD ANSWERS. Says He Has Made No Profit on In vestment Condemns Lawless ness and Will N Fight. FOREST GROVE, Or.. July 31. (To the Editor.) Permit .me to answer a com munication that appears la your columns this morning pretending to give the facts in regartd to the trouble over the Wilson River toll gates. I am the. lessee and have held the lease now for five years. I received it from company of which Claude Thayer, of Tillamook, is president. That company got Its charter several years ago ' and Opened the road and operated it for years before I had any connection with it. By my .lease I am bound to keep up the road so as to aocommodate the travel. In recompense for my labor and expen ditures I was to be permitted to collect tolls from parties using the road and pay a percentage to the road company. Since I have taken the lease the con tract between the road company and Tillamook County has been attacked in the courts on the ground that the coun ty had no right uncHr the law to make a contract with the company for SO years it had done. Judge Burnett of the Tillamook Circuit Court decided in favor of the company. From that decision the parties attacking the lease have ap pealed to the Supreme Court, where the case is now pending. As our right in the case has been fully sustained by the courts as far as the case has been carried, we have gone ahead in accordance with our contract. We have spent large sums each year in putting the road in condition to travel between Forest Grove and Tillamook. Since I have had the lease I have spent more than I have collected in tolls. I have not increased the tons, but they remain the Bame as before, viz.: 1.50 for team for the entire distance. Six mile Of the line is in Washington County ana is not covered by the original charter, which was with Tillamook County. Last Spring I enterea Into contract with the County Court of Washington County by which I was to take charge of, repair and maintain this six miles of road. For my pay I was to be allowed to collect 25 cents for each team driving over it. I have done my part faithfully. The road is now in better condition than it has ever been. The Summer travel season is Just beginning and it seemed as if I might get back the money I had expended In making a road, when these people combine, tear out my tollgates. destroy my property and virtually rob me of my investment. If I had not lm- nrovea tn roaa there woujtj have; ten i little travel over it. Even these people who are doing most to damage me would be almost shut In. In order to keep peace with them I had not been charg ing them a cent of toll. I fixed a good road without its costing them a cent and any settler from one end of the line to the other could use it free. But they not only want to enjoy It without charge themselves, but they want to take from me the privilege of collecting from out siders a reasonable toll .to pay for what I have, expended. I am a law-abiding citizen and I am not doing anything but what is In ac cordance with law, with the terms of my lease and with my contract with the County Court of Washington County, ex cept that I have given free passage over my road to the settlers along Wilson River when I am authorized to collect toll from them. Yet in face of this I am robbed of my property and am held up in the papers as If I were the robber instead of the robbed. The men who elgned the communica tion appearing this morning are leacters in the opposition to me and have worked up some of the others to Join them in tearing out the toll gates, but If I had not fixed the road .over which they drive almost dally free it would be in such condition that there would be very few people except themselves to use it at all. I am law-abiding, but I expect the law to protect me in my right to my prop erty and to punish those who depriva me of it. R. H. McNAMER. GLIMB TO HOOD'S PEAK TWO PORTLANDERS MAKE TRIP TO MOUNTAIN BY WHEEL. F. W. Farrer and R. XV. White Join Another Party, and All Reach Summit Without Guides. F. W. Farrer. a letter carrier from Station A and R. W. White, of Damas cus, lately rode to the base of Mount Hood on blcyolec and climbed to the summit without the assistance of a guide. Mr. Farrer writes of his trip to The Oregonlun: "We left Damascus on the morning of July 24, each carrying about 25 pounds dead weight in a camping out fit. Past Sandy, Firwood and Salmon the ride was a warm one as the sun was high. At Alder Creek we met V. Schmidt, a Portland merchant, who was camped with his wife there in a beau tiful little grove, spending his vacation in the most delightful manner possible. Mrs. Schmidt had all the appurtenances of a modern home, including a cellar which for coolness beats any refriger ator. . This cellar was a hollow cedar log in which everything kept as cool as if on ice. We pushed on to Salmon River where we camped for the night. Starting early next morning we arrived at the Toll Gate at 10 o'clock where, on account of the sand ahead we left our wheels. Stopping for lunch but a few minutes on the bank of Laurel Creek we hur ried, on to Government Camp, which we reached about 3 In the afternoon. By nightfall we were at the timber Jne where we made camp for the night tn an unoccupied tent which was stand ing all stretched and ready for use. Breakfasting next morning at day light we made the start for the summit at an early hour. After going some dis tance, however, we discovered the loss of our hand ax and were compelled to retrace our steps to camp. Beginning the climb again we made Crater Rock at 9:30 o'clock. Here we were joined by E. Coleman. A. E. Mitchell and John Mitchell, a party which had come out from Sandy. Our course was along the snow ridge to the crevasse, east to a crossing and around by Way of King's Mountain to the summit which we made at 10:15 A. M. On top it was warm and quite pleasant. Here we remained for several hours and ate our lunch. "Leaving the main party I made a detour to Anchor Rock, several hun dred feet down the mountain side, to which Is fastened the lifeline recently run up the mountain. "From the summit we flashed a sig nal light to Cloud Cap Inn and Gov ernment Camp, receiving a reply from both places. After registering our names on the summit we began the de scent at 13:16, reaching Camp George nt the timber line without Incident at 1:40. "Nothing of importance occurred on the return trip except that near Toll Gate my wheel gave way and I was compelled to do the remaining 35 miles to Portland on foot. "Portland people are camped all the way to the grand old mountain and many are climbing its lofty heights." LAWN TENNISAJ IRVINGT0N Club Will Hold Another Handicap Tournament This Month. The Irvington Tennis Club will hold another open handicap tournament late this month. The tournament closed on the Irvington courts several weeks ago was such a thorough success In every way the members have been encouraged to holrt another week's play. It Is expected that this second series will be even more exciting and have many more entries than the late one. A great stimulus has been given to the proposed tourney, too, by the offer of a beautiful silver cup by the property holders of Irvington. Although the terms of the gift have not been announced as yet, It Is under stood that the cup will be given to the winner of the singles. The donors also promise that the trophy will bo he mast beautiful anfl expensive of its kind ever given in Portland. WILL ENTER TACOMA TOURNEY Strong Team of Tennis Players to Represent Portland. . Portland will be well represented at the International tennis tournament which opens at Tacotnt next week. All the winners in "the recent Irvington and Ore gon State tourneys will probably make the trip, and perhaps other local cracks may be induced also to enter, to make a good showing for the Hose City against the best tl.at Washington and British Columbia can present. Walter Goes, Dan Bellinger and Brandt Wickersham hav all but decided to make th trip,, and perhaps Richard Wilder and Carl Lewis may be able to play also. Goss, Bellinger and Wickersham are the three best singles players in the city and they should make things warm for their opponents. Bellinger and Wick ersham have now won the State doubles championship two years in succession, and Schwengerg- and MacRae, last year's winners in the International tournament on the Multnomah courts, will be pressed hard - to dispose of the local champions. Ta.com a, Seattle, Spokane, Olympla, Vancouver and Victoria will be repre sented by a full quota of players ana the tournament is expected to be the best attended and beat played of any previ ously held in the Northwest Certainly, Portland never had a stronger team ef players than will be entered at this tournament, and enthus iasts look for a goodly number of tro phies to be brought home by the Mult nomah and Irvington prize winners.
