Admiral Gray's flagship, the Undine, and the party of excursionists which has been traveling on the Columbia and Snake rivers since they left Portland last Thursday arrived in the basin in front of the speakers' stand at 1 o'clock, nearly an hour ahead of sched ule time: but even then a big crowd was there. People had been traveling out from The Dalles all morning in pecial trains over the Oregon Portage Railway. Hood River, too. sent a bis delegation.

A temporary structure was erected to accommodate the speakers and benches had been put Up for some of the people, bat the crowd soon filled the benches and spread out upon the sand and the grass within a quarter-mile radius. The platform for the girls who poured the water Into the Columbia faced the speakers' stand. A brass band from The Dalles was on duty and entertained the people previous to the opening exercises. It must have been a glad day for Joseph N. Teal, of Portland, generally known as "the-father of the open river and the presiding officer at the day's formal programme. Speaker after speaker praised him for his unselfish and untiring efforts on behalf of the canal work. Mr. Teal was vigorously applauded when he first walked to the center of the platform. The hand-clapping and cheering continued for quite a few min utes. Bishop Charles J. O'Reilly, of Baker, offered the Invocation calling upon the Creator to extend his bless ings over the great work and praising the men whose energy and genius had made it possible. He, too, was applauded. Silk Flag LewIxton'M Token. Probably the most impressive cere mony of the afternoon was the pre sentation of a big silk flag, from the citizens of Lewiston, Idaho, to Cue of ficials in charge of the canal. The pre sentation was made by General H. S. Fargo, for the department of Oregon. Mayor Morris, of Lewiston, personally represented the people of that city. following General Fargo's brief ad dress, J. B. Gardner and Tillman H. Stevens, both of Portland, and mem bers of the Grand Army, proudly raised the flag to the top of the mast. As Its folds unfurled a mighty cheer went up. The people then joined in sing ing America. Wallace R. Struble, secretary of the canal celebration committee, read let ters from President Wilson, from Sen ator Ramsdell. of Louisiana, and from David J. Palmer, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army, congratulating the people of the Northwest on the inau guration of through water service in the Columbia and Its tributaries. Mr. Brady's Forecast Brilliant. Senator Brady, of Idaho, spoke also on behalf of the United States. "I bring greetings," he said, "from our splendid President, our Vice-President and from members of both houses of Congress. He gave lavish praise to Mr. Teal for his work in urging Congress to make appropriations for the canal, but paid due compliment to Senators Jones and Poindexter of Washington, Sena tors Lane and Chamberlain of Oregon, Representative Sinnott of Oregon, and Representative Humphrey cf Washing ton, for their efforts. I hope to. see the day." he said. "when the mineral products and the agricultural products of Idaho will be hauled down these rivers to the mar kets of the world. 'But this completed canal is only the beginning. I shall not be satisfied, in Congress or out, until we have a seven- foot channel between Lewiston, Idaho's seaport, and the sea. Then we shall send the 50,000,000 bushels of wheat annually produced in the great interior country to market over this natural carrier. It ought to add 10 cents to every bushel o wheat and add corre spondingly to the prosperity of the people." Value of Work Aurrlrd. Senator Poindexter. of Washington, pointed out the value of a water route as a trade developer and emphasized the fact that the great cities of the East have been built up largely through the use of either natural or artificial waterways. Representative Sinnott, of The Dal les, in whose district the canal Is located, grew eloquent In his rentirks irk which he reviewed some of the efforts that have been put forth by his predecessors in the lower house of Congress and by members of the upper house in behaii ot the Celilo project. The Governors of the three North western states made brief addresses in which they voiced the approval of Oregon, Washington and Idaho people in contemplating tne completed water way. Governor Withycombe of Oregon. urged the people to build wagon roads and automobile roads to the river so that the canal can be used to better advantage. Benefit Voiced Generally. ' Governor Lister of Washington. pointed out the importance of, having more farmers in the Inland Empire. "More people on the farms." was the expression that he reiterated with studied frequency and with constantly increasing emphasis. "The state of Idaho wants to be known as a part and parcel of the In land Empire." declared Governor Alex ander of Idaho, who extended greetings rrom tne people or mat state. Greetings from the commercial bodies of the Inland Empire were presented by James S. Ramage. president of the c-porcane unamDer ci ommerce. Representative Humphreys of Seattle, a member of the rivers and harbors committee In the lower House of Con gress, expressed his satisfaction In hav ing had a part in procuring the appro priations necessary for building the canal and declared that he will be able to go Dack to his committee and report that the money has been well spent Bishop Sumner, of Portland, who was to nave delivered the benediction was unable to remain until the cere monies had been concluded, and Bishop uneuiy spoKe in nis place. "It is significant," he declared, "that these noble men show their faith In God by beginning these ceremonies in nis name. The band then played. "The Star "IT HAPPENED TO JACOBY" I JACOB Y I THE JEWELER Because of my inability to meet my obligations owing to dull trade conditions my jewelry business has been in the hands of H. S. McCutchan, trustee, up to yesterday. Yesterday my friends made a settlement with the creditors at 50 cents on the dollar and bought the stock back, and turned it over to me with this strict understanding: I am to proceed immedi ately to dispose of half of this stock at any price and pay back $10,000 within 15 days. SACRIFICES $50,000 STOCK , It's mighty nice to have friends that will help you and I am going to show my appreciation by cutting the heart out of all former prices in order to raise part of the amount that was advanced. I will offer, beginning tomorrow, this high-grade stock of Jewelry and Diamonds at 3596 to 50 Off $10,000 Must Be Raised$ 10,000 Will Be Raised When a city is. burning it is sometimes advis able to dynamite some of the finest buildings blow them up destroy them. This drastic action is taken to prevent a much greater disaster to keep the entire city from being stroyed by hungry flames. So, in merchandising, it sometimes becomes necessary to wreck the stock to destroy profits to cast discreton to the winds in order to save the entire stock from destruction.
