THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND. JANUARY 13, 1911. PORTLAND TO BE CHIEF PACIFIC PORT Quin O'Brien Predicts TRis City Will Be New York of Pacific Coast. THIS NATION'S FRONT DOOR Commerce- Will Kntrr Tlil Way, taj I.rrurrr. and io Through Bark Ioor to Atlantic Coast. Colombia Is Great Harbor. CHICAGO. Jan. 14 5pctal.) "t llTr ill tb pa. k In th rr vl w Tcrk. Philadelphia, Boton and the Atlantic seaboard." According to Attorney Quin O'Brien, this will & an appropriate hotlco for the Pacific Coast, "soon to become the Iron! door of the United States." He expressed this view tonight at the irttkly meeting of the Irish Fellowship Club In speaking of "American Ideals and Opportunities." "Two-thirds of the population of the world borders on the Facine Coast, he said, "and nearly all are eonsumera and not producers. This fact, taken wlta the great derelopment In the West and Middle West sections of the t'nlted Rates, shows plainly that tha Pacific Coast will be the front door of the Vnlted States In a few more years. With the completion of the Panama Canal the step will be a short one. "Aa Elbert Hubbard said: "Had the Pilgrim fathera landed on the Pacific Coast instead of the Atlantic. New England would now be used for a goat pasture. "There are four great towns In this order on the Paclllc Coast. Portland and Los Angeles. San Francisco and Seattle. They are nearly of a else, these four great porta, and all of them destined to be the great cities of the world a few decades hence. "The New York of the West. I will venture to say. will arise at the mouth of the Columbia River. This Is the largest river emptying into the Pacific Ocean from either of the Americas and this great harbor provides everything to be d'slred for a great city. -Horace Greely said: Go West, young man. go West.' And I say. Take the first fast train." Ir. O'Brien's address was received with enthusiasm by the members of the Fellowship Club. CALIFORNIA ASKS FOR AID Oregon and Washington I'rged to Help Proposed! Exposition. FTATE CAPITOL Salem. Or- Jan. 14. (Special.) Seeking an appropriation for the Panama Exposition in San Frant-isco from the Oregon Legisla ture and on his way to Olympla on the same mission with the Washington legislature. ex-Scretary of State Curry, of California, accompanied by hi wife. vlFlted Salem today. It Is probable that Oregon will be asked to contribute at least 1:50.000 for the benefit of the California expo sition, for which California people have already raised $17,600,000. Already the Oregon Senate has passed a resolution memorialising Congress to have the exposition placed at San Francisco and this resolution is now in the hands of the House. FRUIT UNION'S YEAR GOOD Sending Apples to Sonfh Carolina Is Wall Walla Triumph. WALLA WALLA. Wash.. Jan. 14. (Special.) Showing a more prosperous yeur than had been expected, the first annual meeting of the stockholders of the Walla Walla Fruit and Vegetable Union heard the reports of the officers on the first year's work of the union. Officers elected were: President. W. A. Rlts; vice-president. Gavin Duncan; manager. II. K. Browning. One of the biggest pieces of work the union accomplished was the Introduc tion of Walla Walla apples Into tha Southern market, shipping to South Carolina, for example, where North western apples had never been sold, and thus opening a rich market for the poorer varieties of apples. MARION MAY BE HIT Vote I.lkely to Have Effect on Legislation. SALEM. Or.. Jan. 14. (Special.) What place Marlon County, seat of practically all of the state institutions, win hare when the question of appro priations corn's up before the Legisla ture. Is bothering many here who are interested in watching the outcome of the fight. Marlon County, say some of the Leg islator, baa given herself a black eye which may result harmfully to her chances In some respect when the money is being passed around. At the last session a bill appropriating 1100, COO to assist In improving the Crater Lake road was passed and was signed affirmatively by Governor Chamber lain. L. II. McMahon. a Marlon, County lawyer, successfully contested the con stitutionality of this act through the Supreme Court and the 1 100,000 remains In the general fund. This caused con siderable agitation among Southern Oregon counties at the time, especially those that had been working hard to gain an appropriation for the Crater Lake road, and there were mutterings for revenge. Just how far this feeling extends at present remains to be seen la the acts of the Representatives and Senators from those counties when they are put to a test in this session. At the last general election Marlon was one of the few counties that voted against the branch insane hospital for Eastern Oregon, having nearly 1000 majority against the Initiative bill. This seeming antagonism on the part of Marion created some resentment In the eastern counties, but this resent ment. It is claimed, was probably soft ened to a certain extent by the fact that the bill carried In spite of the pro test of the voters here. At this same election Marion also gave an overwhelming vote against the re. establishment of the normal schools. This county went over three to one against each of tbe distinct measures covering the normal schools. Where thtir vote Is said to have fallen the bardest is on- Polk County, which lies directly acrojs the river, has close business associations with this county and at the same time Is the home of the Monmouth Normal School. Regard less of these facts. Marlon voted as heavily, practically, against Monmouth aa It did against the other schools. While it is generally conceded on the part of tha legislators that the state institutions should not be slighted merely because Marlon County has been adverse to legislation that has been greatly desired In other sections, at the same time a tendency has been evidenced by some In conversations about the lobby to be oposed to much - . , i i i.i.tin. whtrh may arise out of or concerning this county. The stale institutions are im In the hand of tha legislative commit tee which made an Investigation of a majority of them and will report some time during this month to the ways and means committees of the House and Senate. Their report will probably ba the principal guide of the Legisla ture In handling the appropriation bills for new buildings and mainte nance. This committee found that It did not have time to visit the State Fair, however, and will submit no re port In that connection. The fair will observe Its semi-centennial annlverssry this year and It Is the hope of the board to make It one of the biggest affairs In the history of the Institution. Approximately 1110.000 will be asked for the new buildings. Last session there was a decided fight put up in the House on the State Fair appropriation, and It was only by clever maneuvering on the last day of the session that the fair board's rep resentatives succeeded In getting ihmnrh tha extra. aDDrotrlatlon de sired for betterments. What will be done this year Is still conjecture, oui some of the legislators are of the opin ion that they will not he highly fa vorable to the Marlon appropriations in this respect on the general ground that Marion has not shown herself fa vorable to considerable legislation that bas been asked for by outside counties both through tha Legislature and tbe Initiative.
