M'lth only on Flight amendment, sub

specifically deflntnsr the party's policy as !
ti th moral of th city, th.e Republican
assembly yesterday adopted the report of
tha oommltte on platform and resolu
tions as presented by Thomas C. Devlin,
chairman of the meeting:. The platform
follows:
Whereas. th prembV of the direct pri
mary nominating law recites that "Under
cur farm of aovernnjent, political parties
are useful and necessary at the present
time," and also that "The purpose of this
law to better to secure and to preserve
the rlxhts of political parties and voluntary
political organizations, and of thslr mem
bers and candidate," and
Whereas, the coherence of the elements
of the Republican party, and the accom
plishing of its alms, is best secured by
the concerted action of representative men
of the party, meeting for the purpose of
deliberating upon political Issues and form
ulating party policies, and for the purpose
of selecting from the list of available can

rharge the duties of public office, and in

choice of the elector at the polls, and
Seek to Promote Harmony.
neress. In order to promote harmony
wiinm tn party and to Insure to th
canai dates selected by the party at the
primaries, the united, cordial and sincere
support of Republican voters in the coming
election, organisation and co-operation are
essential: therefore, be it
Resolved. By this voluntary assemblage.
iuii municipal ticket be here se
lected, and that all electors be recom
mended to support at the primaries the per
sons so chosen. That recognising the mill
or tha people as supreme, we pledge our
selves to support, and we urge upon all
K publican electors the duty of suonort-
ing. at the municipal election following the
primaries, the Republican candidates chosen
at the primaries, whether such candidates
are or are not the persons selected by
mis assemblage; and we earnestly charge
all Republicans to work in harmonv for th
good of the ticket chosen by the Republi
can party at the primaries, putting asido
personal preferences with tha obect of
strengthening the party organisation;
lannsning party precedence, and promoting
the final triumph of the principles for which
nepuoiican party stands; and, be it

Resolved, That tha record of tha RenuS.
Jlcan party throughout the ?vars since Its
organisation in Is promulgating and
crsiaiising in the form of legislation and
aumimstrativa policies, principles of gov
ernment bast adapted to the needs of the
American people, whereby th peace, pros
pvriiy soia oraeriy administration of th
w nmm vwn so successfully secured, war
rants the claim that the hope of the future
lkea in a steady adherence to the partv: and
while, la the management of municipal af-
air.. government is not always neces
sarily a condition of success, we believe that
the Republican party la strengthened and
its cbjects arv advanced in state and Na
tion through the unaavering support of the
party In local administration; and that by
uniting within the party Unas all those
who seek the highest Ideals of government,
who are Republicans becauae thy believe
the Republican party is best able to se
cure to the people the blessings of good
government, the conduct of municipal af
fairs will bo placed in safe hands. We.
therefore, maintain the right of the Re
publican electors to choose for the City of
Portland Its officers, who shall he -entrusted
with the great responsibility of administer- i
tug the' city government, being assured
that the candidates so chosen will assume
office with a profound sense of duty, and
a sincere Oealre so to administer the busi
ness of the City of Portland as to reflect
credit upon themselves and upon tha party
whose representatives they are.
Take Stand for Economy.
Deploring as we do the general extrava
gance and Incompetency of the present
executive department in the management
of public affairs, we pledge tha candidate
for Mayor recommended by this assemblage
to a more economical and efficient admin
istration. Clean streets, well lighted at
night, safe and secure at all times; ample
fire protection, courteous and intelligent
police service, are fundamental requisites
in the growth of our city and th-a con
venience and pleasure of its citizens and
visitors. These can only be obtained and
continued through the personal supervision
of the departments by a responsible tvead,
capable of commanding and enforcing; the
same regard for city employment as that
which Is demanded In general mercantile
life. We pledge for our candidate for the
nomination for Mayor the sense of duty
to this assemblage and to the citizens which
a public officer can alone exemplify by that
personal discharge of his trust which ab-
lolutely precludes the shlftlrur of responsl
blllty to others or the evasion of his own
accountability. And we further pledge the
Mayor reccommended by this assemblage
nd all other officers so recommended t
labor for the moral and material better
ment of the city.
We believe the moral atmosphere of i
clt y to be a most Important, if not thi
most Important, element'. In its well-being
nd advancement. In recognition of this
statement we declare It to be the sentl
meat . of this assemblage that both the
legislative and the executive departments
should ynltedly work for the enactment
and enforcement of such ordinances and
police regulations as will guarantee to this
city a high standard of morals, and to this
policy we pledge the candidates recom
mended by this assemblage.
Open Bids on Paving.
i nat tne Republican party favors open
competition by all street paving companies
on every hard-surface improvement pro
posed, Thereby making It possible to receive
tho best quality of pavement at a reason
ble cost and relieve property-owners from
the incubus of paving trusts.
That the Republican party believes In
the Judicious expenditure of money for
all purposes necessary for th-a growth and
progress of a great city such as Portland
is destined to be, but that full value for
money disbursed for property, improve
ments and services be secured to the city.
The remarkable growth of Portland, es
pecially upon the east side of the Willamette
river, and its assured continuance demsnd
wise and provident action to maintain the
freest possible intercourse betweon the
various sections of the city.
That the Revubjican party pledges itself
and its officers to the enactment and en
force mnt of all laws necessary for the pro
tection of human life by all public service
corporations and other employers of labor.
The expression of the approval of our
Republican National administration so
frclbly presented by the people of our
state In tha vote of Oregon for William
H. Taft. should Induce all Republicans
within its borders. ' and especially In its
principal city, to unite at this time in such
harmonious action as will establish its right
and title to voice and standing at the Na
tional Capital. The great and growing in
terests of our state demand the effort of
all patriotic cltleons toward the furtherance
and strengthening of every factor that can
tend toward the advancement of all local
interests dependent upon National recognition.

Back from Chicago, where he delved
deeply Into the Spokane rate decision re
cently handed down by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, R. B. Miller, gen
eral freight agent for the Hariiman lines
in this territory, launched Into prophecy
yesterday, and bespoke a great develop
ment for this state during the coming
decade. Mr. Miller predicts Portland will
have at least 500,000 inhabitants ten years
hence and that the Pacific states will
make tremendous gains in development.
The state itself should gain 2,000,000 In
habitants In ten years, he says. ! Mr.
Miller bases his predictions on the wide
spread Interest throughout the Bast in
the Pacific states and the eagerness with
which people are turning this way. He
said:
The Influx of people to the Pacific
Coast this year promises to be the great
est in its history. The immigration from
the Middle West and Eastern states
should be very heavy.' There Is a mar
velous growth all over the country, and
it is even more pronounced on the North
Pacific Coast. It Is difficult for one liv
ing here to realize the extent of new de
velopment and future possibilities and
probabilities m that regard. The popula
tion - of the United States is- Increasing
at a rate of from 2,000.000 to 8,000,000 each
year. Estimating the total increase In
the next ten years at 25,000,000, . we may
get some idea of the benefits resulting
to the Coast cities. It may be assumed
that fully 60 per cent of the Increase
In - population will seek the states west
of the Missouri River and : that at least
50. per cent of the latter will locate in
the states of California, Oregon and
Washington, or, say, about 6,000,000 or
7,000,000 people. ;
Oregon should receive at least one-
third, or 2,000,000 people, making the pop
ulation of the state in 1S18 about 3,000,
000 people. Today Portland contains ap
proximately 25 per cent of the population
of the entire State of Oregon. This same
ratio may not be maintained in future.
but allowing for any reasonable decrease.
It - may - be- said thai; the, population of
Portland ten years hence will be not less
than 600.000 people. . ,
"The whole Western country Is bound
to grow rapidly. . People make wealth
and the more people ' the more wealth.
A man may come to Oregon and with
his eyes, shut drop money anywhere and
be assured that his investment will be
a profitable one, because values must
necessarily advance. No states of the
Union offer greater ' opportunities than
do those of the Pacific Coast. .Not. one
of these Coast States can add to its
population, wealth and business without
Indirectly at least adding to the wealth,
population and -business of other states.
Every Indication points to rapid devel
opment, particularly in Oregoa." -
,. Mr. Miller will leave today for Walla
Walla and Spokane and will return to
Chicago late this week for further con
ferences with the ' traffic heads of the
Harrlman system. " - -
Oaks cars'on East Water street. Numer- I
ous attraction for the season are being
signed by R. M. Townsend, who Is In
cnarge of the resort for the company.
The Oaks has undergone a thorough re
arrangement and landscaping under the
direction of George Otten. Thousands of
roses have been set out, particular atten
tion having been paid to grouping them
with reference to color and habit of
growth so as to give the most pleasing
effect. Frau Karl Druschkl and Madame
Caroline Testout predominate, these two
varieties being - the favorite ones here.
Other varieties are by no means over
looked, the Ulrich Brunner. Paul Nev-
ron, Gruss, Teplltz, Marie von Houtte,
Maman Cochet, etc., being some of the
varieties that abound throughout the
grounds.
The location of the Oaks seems necu-
Ilarly adapted for the best growth of
roses. The moist atmosphere there, near
the river, equality of temnerature and
Irrigation of the flowers by Willamette
River water all seem to bring about the
best development of the roses.
In addition to the myriad of roses at
the Oaks this season, there will be about
50,000 Summer plants that will rival the
queen of flowers In beauty. Visitors will
see 1000 tuberous begonias, flowers almost
unknown nere, nut which seem well
adapted to cultivation in Portland. Be
side these begonias, as4ers, stocks, gera
nium, heliotrope, salplglosses, carna
tions, petunias, cannas, caladlums. etc..
will beautify the grounds, and make a
veritable flower garden of the resort. A
collection of perennial plants is also about
to be set out there that will add still fur
ther to Its beauty. The lawns have bei-n
spaded and newly sown, affording a vel
vety green frame to the floral picture.
Freight Rate on Grain Bags Cut.
Reduced rates on grain bags have
been made by the O. R. & N. from Port
land to the territory south of the
Snake Rivr. The new rates go into
effect May 11, and names a tariff of
63 cents per 100 pounds on burlap,
gunny and Jute bags in less than car
load lots. This Is a reduction of from
9 to 27 cents from the present rate.
