President would have been a grave
error.
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

man.
And after John came the Governor,

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.

with tha stage floor, and then rise up

To hold the grand lodge sessions in

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

FRIERS
TAKE OUT PRIMARY
Salem Committee Considers
Certificate Plan Less Sus
ceptive to Fraud.
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

Civil- War eVterans at Or

VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 10. (Spe

to the stability of the Government by
Captain J. P. 8haw, Past Department
Commander of the Grand Army of Ore
gon, In an address made today at the

The speaker alleged that graft had

should be used to combat the danger.
Comrade Pratt, of Sumner Post, Port

of the Confederacy, saying, amid cheers
of approval, that they were brave, hon

though he was willing to pay them a
tribute for their bravery, he was not In
favor of Congress appropriating $50,000
to erect a monument in their honor.
J. A. Snodgrass, past master of Ells
worth Post. No. 2, of Vancouver, was
mora optimistic in his speech. In which
h that he ftrmlv believed that the
country will not be ruined, that the com
mon people, in the large majority, are
honest, and that they will rise up and
put an end to garft.
In speaking of trusts and monopolies,
Mr. Snodgrass said that such comblna
