Mr. Cotton waa followed by Governor Chamberlain, who apoke aa followa "It la a very aroat nleaaure to ua to hare Mr. Har rlman with ua tonight, and to have back with ua a gentleman whom we all love, and whom a few woaka ago wo wined and dined on, and whom we are now assisting in wining and dining oft. - We all feel under many obligations to Mr. Harrlmaa and those who have been operating- with him for the devel opraent of thla atato, -and we -hope we may yet bo under other and more lasting obligations to him for bleaalnga yet to comeW the jaople .of thla magnificent state. At the.last banquet It la possible that those of ua who are lawyers would have hesitated somewhat to differ from Brother Cotton on any subject, but we have him back with na now; he la one of ua, and It Is a question of eatch-ae-catch-can and a rough-and-tumble fight on any proposition, that cornea up, -But now, my ' friend Mr. Cotton, aaya that the railroad company which ho haa ao ably represented for a great many yeara past la practically bottled up, and that It reota with th people of thla etate to uncork that bottle and open up the country Into which theae railroad companies may go and aaalat la the fur ther development of thla etate, -.

The Des chutes Irrigation ' dt Power company, repreaented. by eastern capitalists, haa gone to work there. Another Irriga tion company haa gone to work Imme diately across the Deschutes river, and much) of -this land haa already been patented by the United States to the state-of Oregon; ao that these two en terprises have now in course of Irriga tion something like 100,009 acres of land. .

In his earlier remarks the great railway prealdent had said nothing of the plana for tba develop ment or transportation llnea in Oregon. Thla toplo he now took up. - Mr.,Harrt man spoke a follows: . ."Gentlemen. I have, been rather. In spired to aay a few things to you which I might not -otherwise have . said if It had not been for the remarks of your governor. - I believe the railroad Into the Irrigated country In Bend will be there before the settlers. There Is no aectlon developed along the llnee of our allied llnea that the rallroada have not Bought aa quicaiy aa ins people. . . I would like you to understand a lit tle of what we have had to contend with when we took over the railroads com posing thla system. It ' may astonish you to know that since 100, up to July 1,'lioa, the Bout hern Faclflo. Union Pa clflo and allied llnea have expended for Improvements, - that la reduction ' of gradea, straightening of llnea heavier rail a, ballasting, - elimination of curva ture rearrangement - and ' enlarging tormina la, additions to equipment. In creaalng tha capacity-of equipment aa to the number and also of locomotives and earn, mora than $110,000,000. "Tt haa been no easy task to Induce people with-capital to lend It for that purpose. It Is dlffloult te keep within tho line of your capacity, to live up te your promises to the people of whom you obtain money. - I believe your Inter- eat haa .been better served by getting good rallroada rather than-many poor railroads. -. We have a railroad from Portland to Omaha, which will compare favorably. more than favorably with - any other line In thla country east or weat. It haa a ballasted track, solid through. As I said, tha bulk of the money expended for tha Improvements waa expended on - a-- ar m m m k m dw ' -A . that line Ul the way through. . Now eoaes a time when perhaps It will be la line with expenditures for additions .to branch llnea or more branch lints where buslnes can be collected; but we have not been vary negligent about that. vThla Cooe Bay line we may have been a little negligent about, but w had other matter to attend to before we got to that. - It waa recommended by the'offlcera of the Southern Pact f I more than two years ago, and has been under consideration ' more than two yeara, but It aeema to aatonlah yon all of a audden that we have gone In there now, although w have been ' consid ering It, and now when we aee our way clear te paying for It. wo are beginning the work. - W have projected or already built llpes tributary to Portland amounting 1 to over 400 mile.

Wheelwright and Vento. W. K Wheelwright, who followed. spoke In a happy vain, gracefully ex ninar to tha famous visitor the greet Ings of the people of Portland and of iv.mn and exnresslng satlsfsotlon at tba cordial relatione existing between them. Mr. Wheelwright forebore from itiamiaaion of the transportation prob lems which had been the theme of pre ceding speakers, Hia complimentary referencee to Mr. Harrlman-ant the re aulta which have been achieved under hla eonduct of th Union Pacta and Southern Pacific systems called forth cordial applause. - - , . Th, tnntn aaalrned U W. U r anion, tha . 't . sneaker, was "The ' City - of Portland, It Future and Its Possibili ty" He dwelt at length on the lack ofenterpriae which had been a serious bar -to th city's progress In th peat and called attention to th energy with which Callfornlans are seising th op- portunltie within their reaob. canror nla money 1 being tnveeted In Portland on a large scale, and Callfornlans are reaching out to secure trafflo that is naturally trlbutarjr to thla city. "Tou are sounding the negative note when you should be sounding the posi tive," said th speaker, and h warned hi hearer that there I danger that the rich trad of the Coo Bay region will, be diverted to San Francisco un less Portlsnd awakena to the danger. "Mr. Cotton sounded the keynote a every transportation man knowa," con tinued Mr. Kenton, "when ha said that there I but on thing for this elty to da Either we go to Puget sound or w go out of th mouth of th Colum bia.

Tbs Columbia river was the theme of th remarks of Thsodor H. wucox, tne last sneaker of the evening. Hia pre diction of vast commercial develop ment that 1 to follow th deepening of th lower river were greeted with the utmoat enthusiasm. Perhaps th mosi significant statement which he ahade waa tba confident assertion that event ually a - railroad wlU be constructed down the north bank of the Columbia Mr. Wilcox ha always been foremoat In advocating the deepening of the river between Portland and th sea and he waa - followed - with th oloaest ; atten tion. Ha spok as follows: ' "Th subject sasigned to ma mean everything to th prosperity and future greatnee of Oregon, we cannot keep away from 11 While thla la a railroad man's entertainment, I hope I shall not strike a discordant note la speaking about the .Columbia river. Much aa I think we need rallroada, much aa I reo ognlss the Influence of the railroads In developing the country, yet I aay give me the Columbia river, not th Columbia of Doctor John McLoughlln' time, act even the Columbia river of today, but a Calumbla river with a- channel of 0 fact from Portland to the bar and 40 ftet over th bar," and whoa upper reachea ahall be made free- and un- obetructed to navigation aa far as there le water enough to float a flat-bottomed boat or a ton of produce paying a rail road tWS rates for Its transportation. -' The rriend of th Jetty. , "It has fallen to my -lot for several yeara past to db'the begging at Wash-i ington for the Columbia river bar. There ha va,been differences of opinion between myself and a few friends, and. while I respect their opinions, I think they are wrong I think wfr should open the lower river beford w undertake to open the upper river, and to that end I har bent my energliAwand to that-snd I. purpoee to continue to, bend them until" w have accomplished our object "The moat valuable assistance I have had In the procuring 6f appropriations In Washington for this moat important work haa come from Mr. EL H. Harri man. He has never hesitated; he has gone to expense and trouble to see that the Columbia, river bar had all the in fluence he eould xrt In lta behalf. -. - i took th praaidency of the Trans- Mississippi -.Commercial congreea in order to get 1, 000 -or 1,000 men from Texas, Louisiana- and throughout that territory, who have had great success la obtaining 'governments! aid for river Improvements, to come out here .and to see the Columbia river. . I am going to show it to them, and with their aid and Mr. Harrlmana we hope to eeoure fu ture liberal -kpproprlattona sufficient to enable ua . to create a 10-foot channel and 40 feet over the bar. "It may not at a glance, aeem to be matter of great Importance, whether there la 10 feet on the bar or 40 feet, but after a' man haa labored for II years to build up a trade In the orient. and ha labored all thoae year to-try to do business from the Columbia river rather-sthan be forced to do business anywhere el, he cannot help realising the need of a greater depth of channel.
