The Reception And Speeches Last Night Address of Welcome by Mayor May etc. Thb Dalles, Oct. 6. This will be the third and .' last day of ' the Oregon Press Association's fifth annual conven tion. The afternoon . yesterday was spent in visiting Celilo falls, and in con sequence'of a delayed train the excursion did not return to The Dalles until 6:30 p. m. This put a darn person any further proceedings. The Dalles City Brass Band headed the procession for the Court house at 7 :30 p. m. A very large and intelligent audience had congregated and after music by the band, President Noltner called the meeting to- order, when Hon. Robt..Mays, mayor of The Dalles, welcomed the association in the following well chosen words : ' Gentlemen of lite Oregon Pre Asnocia Hon: It is with pleasure that' we greet you this evening. It is always pleasant to meet gentlemen of intelligence and prominence; and especially so when they hail from the many different local ities of the state In Which we all feel so much interest. But you, gentlemen, the scribes of the different cities and towns of our state, we take the greatest pleasure in meeting and welcoming to our city. Our people very highly in deed appreciate this opportunity of meeting eo many of the sages of this commonwealth, -upon whom we depend so mucft for the future welfare and prosperity, not only mt Oregon our first love but of the great Pacific Northwest in general. Your services in the past, for which we cannot be too grateful, are a part of the history of this country. When I reached this place in September, 1852, after a six-months journey across the plains, and for several years afterwards, almost all the territory west of the Rocky mountains and north of Califor nia, was included in what was then Oregon Territory. Think of being in Oregon upon reaching the west slope of the Rockies ! ' Out of this territory many grand states have since been carved, leaving still our Oregon grander than all. : The, whole population of Oregon Ter ritory in 1852, including the large immigration of that year, was less than 15,000 people, and they were scat tered from Puget sound on the north to Jacksonville on the south. Portland was then a village of about 300 people. Oregon City was the capital of the ter ritory. Salem was ' a mere embryo village, while Albany and Corvallis, the latter then called Marysville, were very small trading stations, and Eugene city was yet unthought of. All this great country east of - the Cascade mountains, and on to the Missouri river was without a score of permanent white settlers. It is very pleasant indeed to those of us who have witnessed the great changes ariS the rapid advance ment that has been made in this country to think that while pluck and persever ance have been important lac tors in bringing about these changes, manual labor has been greatly guided and as sisted by printers' ink". -With the meager population of 40 years ago, we found but the weekly Oregonian at Portland, edited by T. J. Dryer, and the Oregon Statesman at Salem by Asahel Bash. . These were each little weekly issues, but full of. mat pluck , and energy which bespoke their long lives -of great usefulness. The nearest of these papers would fre quently not reach this place until many weeks after its publication.- The Oregon Spectator, published at Oregon City, was the pioneer paper, but had ceased pub lication shortly before. .As population increased and towns sprang into exist ence, the establishment of other good newspapers followed, till now I have no knowledge of how many hundreds there are in what was then Oregon Territory. We feel proud today ot onr facilities for imparting information. The press is en titled to much more credit than it gets, for the prosperity that we are- so proud of. The editor is like the beacon light on the outer wall; he is ever peering into things unknown and soundinz the notes of warning and good -cheer as he. teaas tne mignty tnrong. Gentlemen of the association, we are pleased to 'see you meet in brotherly conference ; we know Jhat you will pro fit by such meeting, and that you will be better able to perform your duties as instructors. You are not only the in structors of the people, but largely the regulators of the communities jn which yoa live. Your responsibility is. very con siderable and your duties are arduous. Be careful that whatever you may ad vocate or encourage shall tend to elevate tne people both morally and intellect' ually. Of course there are many vexed questions to be discussed,' . and after tall la said and dODe differences of opinion will still exist, but in such dis cussions be -.fair with - your oppo nent, and honest with yourself. . No public instructor can afford to stoop be low the dignity of a gentleman and reasonably expect to be sustained in his course. Our committee thought the cascades of the Columbia -that great barrier to the progress of the Inland Empire an exceedingly fit place toneet you. We hope your visit there may have given you additional information, and further cause to aid us ' in - securing an open river. ; To each and all of you, I now,' in be half of our citizens, extend the freedom of our city. I regret that the late' fire which swept away over half the town, makes us unable to entertain you as we would wish ; but we trust your meeting may be none the less pleasant and bene ficial, and that when you have gene, it may be to"ever retain pleasant recollec tions of our town and people. Mayor Mays' address was followed'by a response, from President Noltaer, filled to the brim, with ' Bentiment ex pressive of appreciation, and pledges on the part of the association that united action will be made to shake off the fetters that bind the Inland Empire and grind its energies to palpable dust under the oppressive heel of a soulless corpor ation. The speaker pictured a glorioSs future for the great. Inland Empire when the noble Columbia shall be an open river. In response to the welcome of mayor May's, Mr. Noltner said : . ; . Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: '-.-'. On behalf of the members of the Ore gon Press Association, permit me to thank yon, andthrough you, the people of The Dalles for their cordial, hearty and hospitable reception. To those un familiar with the people of our state, thi 8 reception may be somewhat ' of a surprise, but to those whe are acquainted with their character and open hearted -ness it is not astonishing. : It is' simply natural for the people of Oregon to be the most hospitable in the Union. That the citizens of The Dalles know how to capture the good, opinions of the Oregon editor, ' was demonstrated at the very threshold, and fair ladies were brought into requisition and the session inaugurated with a mostumptu ous lunch which was set before them on tables most handsomely decorated, and the committee on reception had pre viously arranged a most delightful ride up. the Columbia on the beautiful steamer-Regulator, and on our arrival here, we found that everything for our comfort and entertainment had been ar ranged. -2 I am especially gratified that the Or egon Press association selected your city for it annual meeting at this time, and I may be pardoned for nsing in reply, a portion of what was intended to be in corporated in my annual address to the members of our association. But the subject is one of interest to you and the great Inland ' Empire, therefore . I re served this part of my address for this occasion. . , ' " . : - ' Again thanking you; Mr. Mayor, on behalf of the association, and hoping that the people of this city may realize their -just reward for their hospitality and courtesy, and that.yo'ir fair city, which has been able to maintain its progress and advancement under many adverse and discouraging circumstances, may continue to prosper, and ever re main one of Oregon's - brightest and most prosperous cities. Following the address of President Noltner, Col. Pat Donan was introduced, and in his happy manner convulsed the audience for a full hour on the subject of "Country Journalism." His conclud ing words were a tribute to the possible greatness of the empire west of the Rocky mountains, and should be spread upon the minutes and published with the proceedings. ;- :.: ' . ' . At the conclusion of Col. Donan's ad dress, Col. J. B. Eddy, from the com mittee on resolutions, offered a series of resolutions expressing the thanks of the association for the hospitable reception at Cascade Locks and subsequent enter tainment, which were adopted, unani mously. He next offered a set of resolutions concerning the Inland Empire, and an open Columbia river. On motion to adopt, Col. Eddy took the floor, rnnd made the speech of the evening. He nrged our fellow brothers of the valley to read up on the subject. and realize the work before ns as co laborers for the good of the whole state. And jading from the enthusiasm with which his words were received, hey will be productive of very much good The convention then adjourned until 9 a. m. today. Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report, THE SALMON IS- GOING WM Cemfflissioner Stone Says ; Rela ' . ttYe io the Subject ' THE McCOUD STATION FAILING. "Will be a Thing of the Past if Action is Not Taken Very Soon. , WILL KB FISHED OCT COMFLIVJtLT Conditions in all the Tributaries . of ttie Sacramento are Practically ' the - Same.' San Francisco, Oct. 5.- tjnited States -Commissioner Livingstone Stone ar rived ill this city last evening from the government hatchery on the McCloud river in Shasta county. He arrived at ' the McCloud station from Washington -six weeks ago, and since then he has : Ween engaged in making a borough examination of the fish interests in that locality. "If the government," says he, . "does not take some' action very soon, . salmon will be a thing of the past in the Sacramento river. When I was at Mc Cloud river station fifteen years ago, we used to get, 15 ,000,000 eggs out of the" hatchery, while now it is hard to get 8,000,000. I fished up there during my ' recent stay, aftd caught Mery few salmon, while years ago thousands were caught in the nets. , In all the tributaries of the Sacramento the conditions are the same, and there is only one way to prevent the waters of California being fished' out as completely as the Hudson and other rivers on the Atlantic side, and that is to make the close season commence, about August 1st of each year,' instead of September 1st. '" ' m J . A Eow loathe Board . j Chicago, Oct. 5. The American board of commissioners for the foreign missions of the general Congregational mission ary body reassembled this morning' This board is self-constituting and 'self perpetuating." . At present it is composed of two elements liberal and conserva tive; these have m aft y points of differ ence. . One of these differences having to do with the body itself came fip this morning. The liberals believe that the churches which furnish - all the funds should have a representation. ' This matter came up in a paper by Dr. E K. Alden, defending the conservative pol icy. It was moved the paper be referred to a special committee to report next year. In behalf of the liberals a substi tute was proposed to refer it to the bus iness committee with instructions to re port at this session. . The conservatives carried the day, defeating the substitute by a vote of twenty-nine to forty-two. The conservatives finally, consented to refer to a committee to report as soon as possible. The conservatives have the appointment of the committee. - . . An Alaska Volcano in Eruption. Washington, Oct. 5. In a letter to the navy department from Ounalaska September 42th, Commander Evans, of the United ' States ship York town, states the Newvoy Volient, a vol cano, erupted on the Alaska peninsula about latitude 56 deg. north, longitude 146 deg. 20 min. west. The noise of the eruption, which took place during .the ' last week of August, was heard. 90 miles. The clouds of ashes and cin ders were so dense at a distance of 15Q miles at sea that the steamer St Paul was compelled to light her lights at ten in the morning. Tpe' decks were cov ered with ashes to such an extent . that many buck.etfu1sful were : swept- up and thrownroverboard. or property from the No loss of life nxpiosion was - heard of at the date of Evans' letter. .
