However, before John fared forth the real ceremonlea began by an Invo cation by one of Oregon'a most beloved men. Archbishop Christie. In a few choice words he Invoked tha Divine blessing and the Divine Presence. And no man In all Oregon la more entitled to the honor of thus starting the Cen tennial on Its way than this beloved man. And after John came the Governor, and aa his voice was heard the roar ing of cannon In a salute In his hooor". was also heard. Far. far afield, far. far out to aea the short, sharp reports reverberated, aa If they were saying to all the world. "Astoria la calling you." And In few but well chosen words the Governor abjured, admonished and encouraged tha people as la his right, and then without more ado he declared the Astoria Centennial a thing of real ity, a complete, finished and harmoni ous running piece of machinery. , Yes. there ought to be peace in As toria tonight. The cltizena who have labored so hard to make today's events possible ought to feel more than proud. And every Oregonlan ought to rejoice with them. Parade Really Marvelous. Perhaps the parade which preceded the opening ceremonlea at the stadium should receive more than passing men tion, for It was certainly so far beyond what the visitors had any reason to expect aa to be called really marvelous. It was over a mile In length, and the vehicles and marchers were closely massed. By opening It out Vis Is often done to make UD In distance what is lacking In numbers. It could very easily have been lengthened out another half mile. One thlnsr should ba mentioned ana emphasised In every way. and that Is the etadlum where the opening cere monies were held. There are Beats for about S000 spread around a natural hill side or am pi theater, and 100 feet to the front Is the concave or oowi-snapeu stand with seats for perhapsZOO. Here tha band will play, here the Briage 01 the Gods will be acted by real savages. nri here will be tha speakers atana on all great occasions, for the building and seats are permanent. The lower tier of seata are on a level with tha stage floor, and then rise up nerhaDs 0 feet. Then on tna Danns above another thousand people could alt or stand with tne Dest or views euu within easy hearing distance. And tha old Astor on is aiso a per manent structure, ana as mese n other Improvements are In the Astoria City Park tha Centennial will go a long way towards permanently enricn- Ing tha city of Astoria.

Funds USE PARTLY-BUILT HALL Elks to Hold Sessions In Incom pleted Auditorium. , To hold the grand lodge sessions in the unfinished Auditorium is the pur pose of the officers of the local lodge of Elks-In the event that the rules governing the construction of the build ing prevent its completion before the convention Is held, and arrangements for using the Gypsy Smith tabernacle cannot be made. It la certain that the outer valla of tha structure will be up, the roof will be In place, the floor laid and most of the interior work completed by the time the Elks come here In July. The ornate Interior finishing, probably, will be lacking and If this la the only handi cap the building will be suitable for the Elks' purposes. Temporary seating ac commodations can be arranged. ' The success of the Elks' convention dependa largely on .ability to use the Auditorium. Without It. the Elks eay. they. will be handicapped for space to carry on their business and the im pressions that visitors gain of the city will not do aa much to present Port land In a favorable light as a large, new public Auditorium, even though It la not finished.

OFFICIALS' POWER SHORN New Capital City Document Permits Franchises and Band Issue to Be Granted Only bj Vote of the People. SALEM, Or.. Aug. 10. (Special.) Boldy advocating the abrogation of the direct primary law as far aa nomina tion of city officers Is concerned, the committees which haVe been drafting a new city charter on the commission plan of government, have prepared a rough draft of the proposed charter, the salient features of which became known this morning. Under the proposed plan there will be two commissioners and the Mayor. The Mayor will receive a salary of $2000 and the commissioners $1800. All other officers will be appointive. It Is provided that -the commission may ap point an engineer .whenever his serv ices are deemed necessary and may in crease or decrease the size of the police department aa It sees fit. Nominating elections for city officers will give way to the certificate plan of nominations. Under this plan a voter may make out a certificate favoring the man he desires to have nominated, and take oath to this certificate before a notary public When 25 01 these certificates are so signed, a candidate Is declared nominated. It is believed by the committees that this plan will obviate fraud and result In a better plan of nominations. No man can sign certificates advocat ing more than one candidate for the same office. Another unique feature Is the pro posal that no franchises may be granted unless subjected to a vote of the peo ple. This takes the power of granting franchises entirely out of the hands of the commission, no matter how im portant the franchises may be or whether they are of minor Import. The commission In its expenditure will not be permitted to exceed the general budget, except In cases of emergency, when If may be done only to the extent of $10,000 over the funds authorized. The commission will also not be per mitted to issue bonds, except refunding bonds or bonds for municipal improve ments under the Bancroli act. All other bonds must be voted on by the people. Only taxpayers will be allowed to vote and a majority will rule. Under the present charter any voter may vote on bond issues and a two-thirds majority is required to carry. Otherwise the proposed charter is much like the one by which the city la governed now. VETERAN SCORES GRAFT CAPTAIN' SHAW SEES DANGER TO GOVERNMENT.
