President to Lay Corner Stone.
President Roosevelt has signified
his willingness to take part in the
ceremony of laying the cornerstone
of the Memorial Building to Lewis
and Clark. Tbif) information is con
tained in a telegram to the Exposi
tion Board of Directors received
this afternoon. Mr. Roosevalt also
states that he will gladly participate
in the testimonial to be given A d
miral Clark, formerly of the battle
ship Oregon. Admiral Clark will
be a member of the President’s
party. The dispatch referred to is
as follows:
“ Washington, D. C., March 19.—
To Henry E. Reed, Secretary Lewis
and Clarke Centeunial.— The Presi
dent has, by letter to Senator Ful
ton and myself, stated that some
time ago he received through you
an invitation to participate in the
exercises incident to the laying of
the cornerstone of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition, while
on his prospective tour, and he now
says, if it is possible to arrange for
these exercises while he is in Port
land, he will be very happy to par
ticipate. The President also says
that while at Portland he will be
glad to take part if possible, in the
testimonal reception to Admiral
Clark, who will be a member of his
party on this tour.
“ Have this program arranged im
mediately and wire us without de
lay as to precisely what the pro
gram will be in each case, and where
and at what hours on May 21 will
be devoted to these exercises, re
spectively. Wo mailed Mayor W il
liams day before yesterday a letter
requesting him to wire us as to the
program looking to reception of tne
President and party. )Signed.)

The antagonism of labor to
machinery in Oreat Britain has
never yielded an inch except upon
the strongest compulsion and is
still strong and powerful. In proof
of this statement Mr. Alfred Moseley
relates that a British manufacturer
who some months ago bought one
of the latest American tool machines
on being asked recently by the
maker how it worked, replied: “ I
cannot tell you; the union has not
allowed me to use the machine for
an hour.” In sharp contrast to this
is tho statement by the same indus
trial and social investigator in his
observations upon the use of
machinery in tho United States.
He says: “ As the American manu
facturer works his men harder and
pays them more liberally, so he is
merciless with his machinery and
renews it whenever the slightest in
crease in efficiency can be gained by
so doing. So rapid is the change
in appliance that one manufacturer
explained his willingness to show
the English delegates the secrets of
bis machines, saying that before we
would have time to copy them in
Eirglaud he would have discarded
them iu favor of now machinery.
He adds that the American work
man takes to these changes naturally
and mentioned ns further illustra
tion of American indorsement of
labor-saving machinery that one
American workman will mind two,
three, four, or even eight machine
tools, while his British brother will
not allow one to be tested in bis
shop. Of course, nil of this must
result disastrously |to British man
ufactures and trade, and fiud re
flection in low wnges and the slow
output of products. The Americnu
system of “ hustling” may be pre
judicial to longevity or even of
long-continued effectiveness in the
ordinary routine of industrial pur
suits; the pace at which Americans
nro going must, perhaps, sooner or
later, be slackened. But at present
the industrial onergy, inventive
genius and mechanical skill of Arner
ican is the wonder of the world, and
tho despair of English manufactur
ers.— Oregonian.

Salem, Ore., March 10.— Tax pay
ers in Orogon will pay taxes twice
iu 190-1. They will pay the tuxos
levied upon the tax roll of 1904.
This is due to a chango in the law
by which taxes are paid in the fall
of the samo year the assessment is
made. In order to effect this change
it was necessary to make the taxes
payable three months earlier fo r
nine months later. The collection
o f taxes is already three mouths later
than it should be, so tho legislature
docided to make the taxes payable
in the preceding fall rather than in
the succeeding fall. Under the now
arraugemeuts the counties will have
funds earlier and will save some in
terest on warrants. Taxpayers will
feel that they aro bearing a double
burden tlie first year, but after that
there will be no difference in the
amount, pnid in any one year.
