"The great ports of Europe are al

new Epoch Begins.
"They passage of this law may well
mirk flic beginning of a new epoch.
Von folks in the north west . are ready
to do things without asking whether
somebody else has been doing them for
lOrt years or not, and success on the
Columbia river, which I not only hope,
but believe, will be obtained, will un
doubtedly lead to the passage of sim
ilar laws and the operation of boat
lines and water terminals, including
terminal railways. In other parts of the
country and eventually in all parts of
the" country."
The communities of the Columbia
bavin arc becoming intensely inter- '
ested in the i;lans of the general com
mittee for the -series of celebrations
to mark the entire week of May 3-8,
and plans are afoot, for excursions both
by boat and rail.
Boad Men Interested,
The distinctive character of the
programs at the different points from j
I.wiston to Astoria is so marked
that each point will attract large num
bers of local people, a considerable
number of whom will go on to other
points for 'participation.
One of the interesting features of
the week will be the participation of
the Pacific and Columbia highway en
thusiasts, arrangements having been
made for formal recognition of por
tions of the Columbia highway In
Multnomah county and the Goldendale-
Marvhill-Wasco sections of the Pacific
highway. The flotilla of steamboats
will stop at Maryhtll during the fore
noon of May 6. and excursionists will
be whirled in autos to Goldendale and

ments to Affiliate wltn About 30O

cut and that Freeweather's back was
injured. He said he could not deter-
i mine the extent of tne fractures until

weather was conscious when picked
up and examined.
"I was walking along about 50 feet
behind the machine when Freeweather
was struck," said Keller, "and heard
no warning signal, though Ragnona
said he sounded his horn. Ragnone
was driving north on Williams avenue
and Freeweather was walking across
Williams, going east.
"The force of the collision broke the
wind shield of the machine, bent one
of the lamps back and broke the fen
der. T. A. Schamock, 823 Rodney
avenue, and an elderly man whose
name 1 did not get. were passengers
in the car. Schamock was too over
come to aid in caring lor Freeweather,

Salem, Or.. Feb. 20. gpeaker Selling

by the members of the house. Allen
Eatdn made a happy presentation
speech in which he said he voiced the
sentiment of the house In apprecia

the record of the hous clean.
Representative Frank Davey of Har

Selling Thanks Members.
The temporary speaker then recog
nized Mr. Selling himself, and In
words that were several times broken
by emotion, he said:
"I hardly know how to express my
feelings at this time. I came here 40
days ago, whether you observed It or
not. with many misgivings; I was a
stranger to most of you, although no
doubt many had known of me. I
came, however, with the earnest de
sire to be helpful. That I might meas
ure up to your expectations and I
feared I would not.
"Before I came I was put under
heavy obligations, which relieved me
of much of the responsibility of mak
ing committee appointments. From
the experience of the last 40 days' I
am convinced that if I had it to do
over again it would be only by chang
ing the rules, having sixty ways and
meajis committees and making each of
you chairman of one.
"I realize I have made many mis
takes and I think you will give me
the credit of thinking they were hon
est mistakes.
"In thanking you for this token, I
must remark that my belief is that the
best In the world one can have is the
love and esteem of his fellow men. If
1 can carry this to my home, I will
feel that the sacrifice of coming here
is amply merited."
. The temporary speaker then de
clared a 6 minute recess and Speaker
Selling was accorded reception by
the members and spectators.
