"It ! alway Yry 4e!r,bl to tttt
the fullest advanta; of water trans
portation facilities and I think fortu.
cat indeed la a city located aa Port
land la on a tar; rtvr with th rail
roada entering from, every 'dlreotion
from aactlona rich In-natural resorce.
Its situation remlnda ma a grreat deal
of Rouen, 100 mllea wp tha river Seine,
and a very Important port on tha Atlan
tic alda of my country." . ,
Thua spoke . Claud Caslmlr-Perler,
special anvoy of tha department of ln
duatry of Franoe, after ha had inspected
tha Portland harbor jres'erday afternoon,
escorted by former United SUtaa Sena
tor T. W. Mulkey, member of the publlo
dock eommUalon; O. B. Herardt, ani-
naar of tha publlo dock oommlaalon, and
fPf ntatlTas of tha Portland cham
ber of coBimaroe, Tha trip waa made
yesterday afternoon on the tut Cruiser
In eharra of Harbormaster Bpeler and
Pilot Harry Emkena." It covered th
harbor from tha lower and of Rom la
land In tha soujth to th Port of Fort
land dry dock rear St. Johns, la tha
. north. t ,
Tlaltot Za PUaoed,
1 am rery much pleaaed with the
river and tha port," aald th visitor
who la looking up Information which
will bo usd largely by tha Frenoh
Steamship companies in planning th es
tablishment of steamship lines from
Frono to thla and other Paclflo coast
porta after tha opening of the Panama
anaJ. "and I feel certain that soon af
ter tha opening of the canal French
liners will be carrying passenger to
Portland direct from Europe,
"I do not anticipate that the Teasel
will be of the tram-Atlantlo type,
measuring from S00 to (09 feet In
length, becauae they would not be suit
able for the trade, but they will be
medium alaed craft from 400 to 500 feet
In length.
"The pasaenger trafflo will bo eon
fined largely to Immigrants, I think.
Some cabin passengera will of course
be carried each trip, but I do not expect
that the first c-ibln business will be
heavy. I think it 'will be possible to
carry emigrant from Europe to this
coast much cheaper by water than by
rail across the continent and the Journey
will not consume much more time. From
Franoe to Portland the trip, Including
the numeroua stop along the route,
will probably take 26 days.
"There should be no trouble in aocom-i
modatlng the passenger steamer In
th harbor here. The big trans-Atlantic
passenger liners would not be suitable
for th Pacific coast trade; they are
built for great speed and particularly
for the accommodation of heavy oabln
travel.
Trad Zztenaion.
'?t would be of no particular value
to have such large and speedy craft for
a route that call for many atop, In
fact auch vessel would not answer th
purpose at all, and therefore I look for
medium alsed vessel on the Panama
canal route.
"The purpose of my visit her 1 not
only to look into shipping facilities but
also to ascertain th . possibilities for
settlers and the extension of trade. I
look for a large movement of immigra
tion from Euro-" to this coast upon the
completion of the canal, for your climate
her is indeed inviting and there seems
to be good opportunities for agricultural
development.
"Emigration from France Is not very
heavy and this Is due to several reasons.
In the first place It 1 not overpopu
lated like many of the other European
countries, especially In th southern
part of the continent Then again the
French nation has comparatively little
poverty to contend with.
"The immigrant who will come here
from Europe will not be a poverty
stricken lot; a great number will come
well prepared to go Into the country to
Settl on a farm, and they will make
good citizens.
Boon for Farmer.
"From what I have aeen on my. short
visit Oregon. ha an abundance of room
for - farmer. ., In . Franc - practically
every foot of ground is cultivated In
some form or other or else It is being
reforested. The forest still remaining,
In th Alpa and the Pyrenees. ar now
In th hand of th government and
only rip timber la sold.' Nevertheless,
quit a number of eawmllla ar In oper
ation cutting pine and fir. But our for
est areno comparison to those I have
en in Oregon. Hero th timber wealth
la trmendoua. However, J e that yon
hav begun . a' ' movement of eonaerv ac
tion, and It la well, for In Frs.no w
regret vary, much that th forests were
cut with a lavish hand until w found
th evil1 ffeat thereof. The recent
damaging flood from which Pari ha
suffered were du largely to the cutting
away of th forest in the watersheds.
The enow j- malts auddenly Instead of
alowly a When the trees broke th
foroe of the un ray a in th spring. We
are -now reforesting in hopes of check
ing thla trouble. Canals are also . be
ing dug to earry off th surplus water
during th flood atage. Reservoir will
probably also hare to be built.
Mr. Casimlr-Perier left last night for
Paris by way of New York and Wash
ington, D. C H expects to return to
Portland In October to further study
eondltlon hr.
AUDIENCE IS MADE
ENTHUSIASTIC AS. '
GOVERNOR TALKS
. r .... , '.
) (Continued from Pag One.) .
th tt asylum and mute school hav
beea made Into gardens and lawn. The
pictures told th story -of some bricks,
and how they ar paying for errs and
pigs.
' Output XnotMsed,
It seema the prlaonera In th peniten
tiary brick yard were turning out 18,000
brick a day. Governor "West said he
would consider that the baais of a day's
work, but that he would divide between
the prisoners and the state the proceeds
of all production above K.O00 briok
a day, th brick selling to other state
institution at th rat Of IS per 1000.
Th dally output waa Immediately
raised to 14,000 brick. Tho Increased
earnings of th prisoners amounted to
more than th state had been getting
from the stove foundry operated with
prison labor, by a private concern.
The governor put me increased earn
ing for th tat Into chicken houses
and pig pens not tne inrectea snacss
that had existed, but new and model
equipment The chicken ar of good
breeds, divided among the pens. Each
week a report of tho work of the hen
la mad In tabulated form to th gover
nor. Th gg are soia 10 in asyium,
which had been spending $6000 a year
for errs.
The pig" pen, like th hen houses, 1
now th best in the state. It was built
by a convict, who did ao well the gov
ernor pardoned him when he finished
the job. It did not look in th picture
Ilk a pig pen, but more like a roomy
bungalow, but It meet the modern pig
raising idea and helps th state sustain
th standard set by th Agricultural
college.
Then tho plcturea showed how con
victs and cheaply obtained material are
building road between the state Insti
tutions at a . cost of a few hundred
dollars a mile, when Such work, would
ordinarily cost $10,000 a mil. Th
road befor improvement were shown
to ba bogs, where an empty wagon had
to be drawn by four mule or It would
be mired. Th effect of rock, blasted
from a quarry by a convict in for safe
cracking, rolled by a steam roller that
had been abandoned because It threat
ened to explode and completed by pa
tlent work of honor men from th
prison working without guards waa
to Impress the new Idea of imprisoning
mien to make them better In a most pic
turesque way.
Taxes to Be Lower.
The governor said th reason taxes
are so heavy this year is because of
large appropriations by the legislature
and promised that next year the taxes
would be much less.
He said that there is absolutely no
excuse or Justification for promoting
tne back to tne farm movement unless
It include the building of better high
way. He ald that for the Oregonlan
to aay that the proposed bond issue of
$20,000,000, distributed at the rat of
$2,000,000 a year over 10 years, will
Impose immediately an Interest tax of
$1,000,000 a year la rank falsification
that the bonds would draw $100,000 in
terest the first year, and $100,000 'add!
tlonal each for 10 years before the max
imum $1,000,000 annual interest charge
would be assessed.
Professor L. R. Alderman, state
superintendent of schools, spoke to the
audience at the branc rary. He said
that Oregon la th beat egg Stat In
th Union, yet Import annually 204
ear load of egg. . H aald that Oregon
had better - diversified agricultural op
portunities than , any other . state, yet
Imports th great proportion of food
tuffs and meat H Insisted that ag

tests now organised will aooompllah a
