He said the society ought to be affili ated more closely with the state as a state Institution. Of the failure of the proper authorities to erect a. building for tha society, he said: Legislature Wanned Well. "It Is a matter of common knowledge that the state commission created by the act making the appropriation of $4(6.000 for the celebration of the ex pedition of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark set spart for the pur poses contemplated f SO.OOO and requested the exposition company to appropriate at least 150,000 to secure the site as required by this act. ' For ona reason and another tha " exposition - company failed to make any appropriation to wards the construction of this building, snd It was deemed advisable In view of Its permanent character not to under take its construction for use during the exposition aa contemplated. It , now transpires that with a aurplus of about 1130.000 In tha treasury of tne expom tlon company after all expenses and obli gations of that company have oeen met there la a disposition to refuse to make this appropriation- Tjr soo.ooo content plated and as expected, - JTeonle Did Taei Part, -The neoDle of tha state of Oregon generously consented to the large ap propriation made to secure the holding of the exposition, and tha cltlsena of W. D. Fenton Photo by. McAlpin. Portland responded liberally also to that common purpose, ana there is ww spread disappointment that tha exposi tion company haa not thus far seen its wsy clear to - make-the- appropriation expected or to secure a site for the con' templated building. 'The reason as signed by the exposition company for Ita failure to make the appropriation and secure tha site Is chiefly that 1100.' 000 would aot be sufficient to construct a suitable 'building. But upon - further examination Into tha matter I am of the opinion that a suitable building could be erected for this amount, and that -the -ciVrttt Portland could well af ford to appropriate a sufficient sum of money to secure a aesiranie sue. as President of the Oregon Historical so ciety I have appointed F.

"This committee of leading cltlsens earnestly devoted to work of this kind have thus for been unable to make a re port, and at this time It Is doubtful whether the stockholders of the exposi tion company can be Induced to conaent to an appropriation of the money which the pubiio generally bad a right to ex pect With the construction of this building the future of the Historical so ciety would have been assured, and In my judgment It will be a great mlafor tune to the city and state If this, act cannot be finally observed In letter and spirit I am not entirely without hope that the special committee in charge of this matter will be able to secure favor able results. , Should toe real I tCemaenhip. . - "There - should be some .- Intelligent plan devised and - promptly executed by which our membership should be largely Increased. - The society needs a wider acquaintance with the people of the state, and the spirit of historical research and reverent preservation of pioneer history should bs more widely extended. .It would seem advtsabla: to tnduoe a closer relation to the society upon the. part of the academies, high sohoola, colleges snd universities of tha state, and I suggest for consideration some plan that may give membership for life to these centers of .teaching upon soma basis of dues and exchange of benefits.

He owes It to hla state aa a duty to record these recollections, and I have no doubt ha would consider, the task congenial and profitable In his declining year a "There were great events In the his tory of the discovery and acquisition of tha-northwest coast the drama of the nations waa here enacted, and while there la as yet no man Ilka John Flske who has appeared to write tha annala of tha Oregon country, aucn a man may even now be among us waiting tha on- pot-fane" "Tithe" T wmel-an"'1ftpTfflTOrt record.
