MARCH ' 12, .1808. 435th BARGAIN FRIDAY 1aa M iA w Ul Kl II i I Ullilllllllllll j-: n 'I MOST IN 'S BEST IN value fsms0 mint V L All Excursion Train Drawing Into La Camas. Driving the Last Spike, North Bank Road. With ehthulatic ceremonies held at Bheridan Point, three miles west of Stevenson, a "last spike" was driven In the Vancouver-Paseo section of the Rpofcane, Portland & 8eattle railroad at 11:44 o. m. yesterday. The gold-plated npike which figured in the preliminaries has since turned up in possession of the committee, like the staee hro, who, after being dispatched by the vllllan. returns to bow his appreciation of ap plause. The spike driven was an ordi nary iron one, with gilt paint on It. A special train carrying about 400 people from Vancouver arrived at Sher idan's Point after a pleasant run occu pying about two hours and 30 minutes. President P. H. Clark of the north bank road was unable to attend, and was rep resented by Chief Engineer N. D. Miller. The ceremonies were conducted by K. K. Beard, a Vancouver newspaper man. After brief remarks by Mayor K. M Green of Vancouver, George H. Hlmes and Judfc-e C. H. Carey of Portland, rain began falling and the ceremony was hastened. The spike was started by the chairman, and was given successive taps by Judge Carey, Mayor Green, C. K. Forrest, general superintendent of the new road; H. Fan-child, Washington railway commissioner. representing Governor Mead; O. T. Gelzentanner. Pasco; Harry M. Adams, general freight and passenger agent; Major McGlaeh lan. United States Army; Richard Por ter, one of the builders of the new line, and James Stpleton. Vancouver. Then (Hilef Engineer Miller was called upon to drive the spike home, which he did. whlla the big crowd that was perched upon every vantage point within 200 feet, cheered wildly. Commlttss's Work. The committee In charge of the excur sion was composed of K. M. Green, James P. Stapleton, I. Galbreath, K. S. Biesecker and B. K. Beard. The speed maintained by the train on its run from Vancouver to Iyle. and the smoothness with which the rails car ried their burden SDoke volumea-for tlie heavy and permanent construction of me line. Ji is aireauy easy ana shis iu operate trains over this road at a speed or 60 miles an nour witn tue exception of one or two places where large fills have been made over soft lowlands Jut ting in from the Columbia river. The run was made on time, without mishap. Jn the engine cab were Engineer C O. Frykjiolm and his fireman, and Con ductor J. A. Buckley had charge of the train. Every town along the line, and every farmhouse within sight of the track showed in some manner the people's ap preciation of being placed on the map of the United States. Handkerchiefs waved from every veranda, and hats from every field and porch. At many places whole families and village pop ulations were. lined up along the track awaltjng the coming of the train. At Zi Camas. At' La Camas a big crowd -of school children and adults thronged the sta tion and welcomed the visitors with shouts and songs. The excursion party was invltefl by M. L. Plttock, who was on the train, to go through the works of the Crown-Columbia Paper company. ECZEMA PATIENT LOST HOPE. But Ordinary Oil of Wintergreen Qulekly Curtd . This Woman.

D. has been for me," writes .Mrs. Wheeler. "I was cured a year ago last fall, but did not dare write because 1 was not sure the cure would be permanent. I had doc tored with six doctors and . they all said It was seldom, If ever, a case like mine was cured. I think I used only four bottles of D.' D. D, and I am B'jrmanenuy curea. ii i ever neeaeu .

The Third cavalry band of Van couver barracks enlivened the occasion with music. At Washotignl, a few miles further, the school children were lined up and gave the train a rousing wel come. At the station known on the new railroad map as "Blngen," the excur sionists were given a sample of the spirit of the White Salmon country. The people gently hut flrmlv resent the changing of their name to Blngen, and they took pains to show It In everv ban ner, song and veil. They had "White Salmon" painted all over the landscape, and the entire chool population were smthered at the depot with flags and banners, shouting "White Salmon." "We are on the map," was the proud line on a banner nailed across the new depot. At I. vie. one of the most beautiful locations on the north bank road, the excursion partv spent hnlf an hour looking at the scenery, while the train wns bains' made up for the return trip. The run hark in Vancouver wan made In time to get the exrur.slonlsts home for supper. Splendid Banquet. Although It was only decided last week to Kive a banouet at the Colun bla hotel, the committee of business men were equal to the occasion and the result Is sufficient evidence of the work done. A finer banuuet was never served In Vancouver and not only this; num bered among the guests were distin guished men of various walks of life, a governor of a state, one of the fore most civil engineers In the United States who has been In the servloa since 1854, and who came here as tho Dersonal rooresentatlve of James J. Hill, a railway contractor who has prob ably built as many miles of first-class track as any man living. These men and others who are well-known locally united In agreeing that for Vancouver tnere is the greatest future. Following the banquet a number of most appropriate after-dinner talks were made. John H. Klwell, president of tho Vancouver Whoop-Er-l'p club, presided as toastmaster and introduced the speakers. Mayor E. M. Green was the first called, resnondlne to the toast "Our Guests." While his talk was short. as he desired that nlentv of time should be alven the distinguished visitors, he extendeVJ to all present a hearty wel come and wae loudlv arDlauded. Fol lowing Mayor Green came N. D. Mil ler, chief engineer of the north bank road, who spoke on "The City or Van couver." Judsre W. W. McCredie. on "The North Bank Road"; State Senator E. M. Rands, on "Where River and Rail Unite"; R. B. Porter, contractor for the new road, on "Railway Build ing on the Columbia ; George w. staple ton. on "Old Vancouver Looklnir Back ward"; H. B. Adams, of the north bank line, on "Vancouver vs. Portland"; E. E. Beard. 'The Press": W. P. Connnway. on "Greater Vancouver"; Governor Al bert E. Meade, on "The State of Wash ington"; Judxe A. L. Miller, on "Van couver's Opportunities; a City or a Way Station"; "The Columbia Club," by I. N. Swartz. Its nresidentr "Our Commer cial Advantages commercially, oy col onel J. A. Miinday; "Vancouver on the Railway Map," by Harry Fuirchild, state railway commissioner Miller Much Pleased. Chief Engineer Miller expressed him self as highly pleased with the treat ment accorded him by the citizens of Vancouver during his two years resi dence in this city, and declared that Vancouver has great natural , advan tages which she should not overlook, winding up by saying: "This Is a crown ing epoch or my lire and should do ine real starting polrft for Vancouver. Judge W. w. McCredie dwelt upon what the north bank company has spent in building its line east from van couvmr, probably the most expensive piece or road or its length In the world, costing on an average of $90,000 per mile for the river section of more than 100 miles. Judge McCredie brought into his remarks the Columbia valley railway projected on paper and by bluff constructed, with which Harriman en deavored to shut out the Hill company. Allusion to this paper road later brought forth some most amuaine remarks from George W. Stapleton of Portland, who was attorney for the Columbia Valley company. Mr. ForWa Bpeeeh. , Richard B. Porter, answered to the subject, "Railway Building on the Co lumbia River," declaring that it was a great pleasure . for - him, as the -contractor, to have assisted in building a road that U bound to be. the making of Vancouver.- " - "Old Vancouver, looking Backward." was the toast responded to by George W. Stapleton. a former mayor of Van couver, but now, as he himself jokingly remarked, "a distinguished lawyer of Portland, the future backdoor of Van couver." Mr. Stapleton, taking advan tage of what Judge McCredie had said, referred to his connection with the Har riman paper road. His jovial remarks brought forth laughter. He referred to the time when he came to Vancouver, of the banquet that was given when the Hotel Columbia was opened and Vork started on the old Portland, Vancouver ft Seattle road in 1890, remarking that he was not present on that occasion, although he received an Invitation at the bottom of which read. "Ten plunks." In closing, Mr. Stapleton said, amid the greatest of laughter: ' "Now, after years, of hard work, Senator Rands, Mr. Oerllnger and myself deliver to you the great north bank road, of which we are justly proud, and I assure you all that It Is with the greatest pleasure that we have this day witnessed our great undertaking completed." Senator Kanaa Talk. State Senator Rands spoke along simi lar lines with Mr. Stapleton, declaring that if It had not Been for the opposi tion which his company brought Into the field the north bank line might not now be a reality. Governor Meade was not able to ar rive until late, after the banquet had commenced. To reach Vancouver he traveled more than 600 miles, comlni around by Tacoma and Portland. He expressed the greatest confidence In Vancouver and this section of the state; that he believed Vancouver will soon be great city. His talk was from the standpoint of the position he now holds, urging that the entire state, if it Is to become the great empire which It has a chance of, should stand together.
