Ossewaarde. of the Twenty-first Infan
try, delivered an eloquent oration, and
the several thousand to tha audience
joined: in singing -America." There
were several special musical selections.
Thousands came on the- taterurban
electrlo and steam cars and from Port
land. The cars meeting tha ferry ware
crowded so that tt was Impossible to
crowd on another passenger, and the
automobiles coming over filled the ca
pacity of the ferry each trip, 13 being
the limit. The hotels and restaurants
were swamped with thousands clamor
ing to eat and the sandwich men did a
thriving business.
Returning to Portland In the evening
there were thousands gathered at -the
foot of Washington street waiting for
each ferry and scrambling to get en.
This, as much as anything that has ever
occurred here, demonstrated the neces
sity of a Pacific highway bridge be
tween Vancouver and Portland. By 7
o'clock the automobiles, with a few rigs,
had formed a double line extending
from the ferry to Tenth street, and It
will be morning before th- last can get
back. Several hundred took advantage
of the trains over the big bridge, but
the majority did not think of this.
At 1 o'clock the crowds had started
for the Clark County fair grounds and
Vancouver Barracks, where the biggest
stunts of the day were pulled oft.
SALEM CENSUS IN DOUBT
Assessment Case May Throw Out
Districts Now Incorporated.
SALEM. Or.. July 4. (Special.)
" Filing of briefs In the Supreme Court
by W. P. Lord, attorney for N. Day
in an Injunction suit against the city,
may result in Salem - being tumbled
from the second position in the census
column of the state, if Day is as suc
cessful in the higher court as he was
In the Circuit Court, where he secured
an injunction against the city restrain
ing its officers from collecting assess
ments for certain improvements.
It -was alleged that in annexing two
districts to the city at an election held
before the census of 1910. the
great majority, or practically all of the
voters. -who voted In the districts an
nexed, were employes either at the
State Asylum or the State Penitentiary
and that as such they have no power
to vote on purely municipal questions.
In event the contention holds good,
both, the Asylum and the Penitentiary,
which were placed in the city limits by
the vote, will be sent back outside the
city limits and as - a result the city
will lose several thousand population,
which were counted in the last census.

Salem Man Sees Victory in
Democratic Action.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY HOME
Boooevelt's Strength Not So- Pro
nounced In East as in Middle
West,""- is Declaration of Off I- -7
clal Attending Conventions. .
SALEM. Or., July 4. (Special.)--
With Theodore Roosevelt and Wood-
row Wilson aligned against each other
on practically the same platform I can
see -nothing else but President Taft's
re-election," waa the verdict of Dis
trict Attorney McNary. who returned to
Salem after attending the National Re
Dubllcan convention at Chicago and a
part of the Democratic National con
vention at Baltimore.
At Chicago he acted as assistant sec
retary of the National convention. Go
ing to Baltimore, ne intended to re
main until after the close of the con
vention, but excessive heat; - coupled
with Intense' humidity. -poor hotel fa
cllltles and a slow-moving convention
drove him back to Oregon after he had
seen Ollie James nominated as perma
nent chairman and heard him make his
speech.
"Roosevelt s strength is not. so pro-
ounced in the East as It is In the
West,", said Mr. McNary. "In the Mid
dle Western states, such as Minnesota.
Illinois and the Dakotas, Roosevelt Is
particularly strong, but In the farther
Eastern states he does not have the
predominating Influence that would be
imagined.
Taft Sore t Win.
1 venture to state that with Roose
velt on one hand and Wilson on the
other President Taft will carry the
bulk of the large Eastern states.
"As to thievery and chicanery at the
Republican convention. I consider such
allegations in the light of delusive
reams. Not a delegate waa stolen.
With' the possible exception of seating
the two California delegates there was
o Jugglery on the floor of the con
vention. Each side had an equal chance
and after four hours of argument and
debate by those who favored the con
testing delegates I failed to see that
they presented one lucid and reason
able argument." ;
Mr. McNary declares that Baltimore
as a convention city Is a mistake. .
"Baltimore has not the facilities to
entertain a National convention that
Portland can show. In no manner can
it eaual Portland In accommodating
and entertaining visitors. There are
not the hotels there and with the pos
sible exception of the Belvldere none
of the hotels are so good as those In
Portland." ........ .. .
-- Rapafcllcaaa Are Galaera. . .
Mr. McNary Is convinced that as a
political move, which will redound to
tha benefit of the Taft forces, the con
vention at Baltimore could have made
no better move than to select Wilson.
"It will be rather essential now for
(he Taft forces to urge that Roosevelt
establish his third party as soon as
he Is able to start It In motion." be

concluded. "The -sooner It Is inaugu
rated the better. With Roosevelt In
the field I am satisfied of the result.
Eastern Democrats, as I found them,
are not Inclined to favor Wilson and
It la certain they have no very material
degree of lova for Roosevelt. The ma
jority wing of that party In the East
will go with Taft, while the centralised
Taft forces will cut through the new
party and the Wilson Democrats to
victory. The divided factions, I be
lieve, will spell a second term for the
President." .'..
NEAR-BEER HOUSES RAIDED
Brewery and .Retailers at Roscburg
, Await Analysts of. Product.
ROSEBURG. Or., July 4. (Special)
Armed' with search warrants Issued by
the District Attorney and accompanied
by a doses Deputy Sheriffs. Sheriff
George Qulne lata today swooped dow,n
on Roseburg's ten near-beer establish
ments, the plant of tha Roeeburg Brew
ing & Ice Company, and conoluded the
crusade . by holding up the brewery
wagon while making Its usual deliv
eries about town.
One keg of tbe brew was taken from
each of the retail stores, while two
kegs were confiscated from the brew
ery. Another keg waa taken from the
delivery wagon. All of the seised liquor
will be shipped to Eugene Friday,
where it will be analyzed. If found to
contain more than t per cent alcohol
the manufacturers will be prosecuted.
Although tke Sheriff and his deputies
searched the respective -resorts for
whisky they were more particularly
interested in seizing the product of the
Roseburg Brewing & Ice Company. The
officers have suspected this brewery of
selling beer for some time, and all the
kegs confiscated In today's raid con
tained the local product. . No whisky
was found in any of the resorts raided.
WOOL SHIPPING PROBLEM
. '
Producers "Try New Methods of
' Packing to Get Rate Reduction.
ENTERPRISE, Or, July 4. (Spe
cial.) Experiments in baling wool
have been conducted this week at the
Enterprise Woolgrowers' warehouse
and the Sam Lltch shearing plant. The
product has been 60 or more bales or
square sacks. These can be packed
much closer in cars, making It pos
sible to load probably 10 per cent more
wool to the Car.
The object Is to prepare the wool for
shipment In such form as to get the
benefit of the baled rate. Sacked wool
Is carried second class, the minimum
weight per car .being 24.000 pounds.
Baled wool goes third class, with a
carload minimum of 32,000. The second-class
rate from Enterprise to
Portland Is 93 cents a hundred pounds,
and the third-class is 76 cents.
Clyde B. Altchlson, of the State Rail
road Commission; Victor O. Johnson,
attorney, - and W. C. Earle, engineer
for the Commission, have been present.
Wool is moving forward rapidly now
from all the railroad warehouses of
the county, but shearing has been de
layed by the repeated rains.
Lewis County Bridges Under Way.
CENTRA LIA, July 4. (Special.)
Two' large steel bridges are being

ty, one at Randle and one at Bremer.

imity to markets make the Willamette
Valley ideal for tha development of
many prosperous sections, cultivated to
the limit of production by numerous
small farmers." . -
That the extension of ' the Oregon
Electric Railway will result in the
creation of a new trade zone for the
City of Albany la the belief .of C A.
Coolidge, general manager of the com
pany.
"The Oregon Electric Railway will
give a splendid service not only to
Portland, but between Albany and near
by points," said Mr.. Coolidge. "This
will bring about a new trade zone for
the merchants of the Hub City."
"Electric transportation to this sec
tion of the Willamette Valley will also
prove beneficial , to the small farmer,
the same aa it has to other sections of
the line, between Portland- and Salem.
Electric transportation will also tend
to develop the intensified and diversi
fied farming of the Willamette Valley,".
The evening programme was given
over to the Albany Chautauqua Asso
ciation, which opened Its third annual
assembly today and which presented
tne enicago operatic Company in a
splendid programme in the auditorium
tonight, a display of fireworks, fair
lowed tonight's programme.
Two ball games, a comic parade and
a trap shooting tournament held at
Chautauqua Park were ether features
of the day. .-
' Aeroplane Flight Failures.
John C. Burkhart attempted an aero
plane exhibition this forenoon. : but
brake his machine so that it spoiled the
forenoon exhibition and prevented his
appearance thta afternoon. Op his first
effort te fly his engine stopped after
he had gone only 100 yards. On the
second attempt he traveled about half
a mile, when his. engine stopped when
he was at a height of 100 feet, and in
gilding to. the earth he struck poor
ground for a landing and broke his
machine. Burkhart escaped unhurt.
Albany was elaborately decorated for
the big celebration and . had the best
street decorations ever seen in the' state
outside ef Portland.
No serious accidents marred the day.
Edward C. Boom, of this city, narrow
ly escaped serious injury when a. horse
he waa driving became frightened and
overturned his buggy, throwing him be
neath it. He pluckily held the relne,
preventing' the '.frightened, horse; from
dragging him until "bystanders came .to
his rescue. -
."Actual work- tf the "construction of
the Oregon Electric from Salem -to Eu
gene was started early In ' October,'"
said L. B. Wickersham, chief engineer,
ef the Oregon Electric. !'it was prose
cuted vigorously throughout "the Win
ter. Ninety days of this time, how
ever, the weather conditions were such
that construction waa Impossible. It
wlll.be seen from this that the Oregon
Electric actually constructed this line
from Salem to Albany in about 180
working days. '., ..
During this same time the company
has built 40 miles additional line south
of Albany, making in all approximately
67 miles of actual construction in 180
days. Twenty-seven miles of this has
been electrified with the most modern
type of overhead, construction and fully
equipped " with ' modern sun-stations.
Terminal facilities have been provided
in Salem and Albany.. A few weeks
more will see the line between 'Salem
and Albany put" In final shape for fast
service. Albany will then have a line
giving the shortest possible - distance
between Portland and that city, with
low grades and curvature.
'The Inauguration of electric serv
ice marks tbe beginning of. remarkable
development.
Sixty days more will see the line
completed into Engene."

Baptist Church escaped with a partially
burned roof.
The streets were thronged with the
largest crowd ever assembled In the

tion. The parade eclipsed anything of
the kind hitherto attempted here and
the entire programme was excellently
handled.
Charles A. Johns, of Portland, de
