Brass bands filled the air with uarchiag tunes and the passengers disembarked at a convenient crossing and walked to the City Hall, where a large delegation of welcoming citizens ushered the visitors up an evergreen stairway into a bower of flowers. : There tables in the form of a hollow- square were prepared with a gen erous luncheon for all. ' The "-columns supporting the ceiling were half conceal ed by sweet-briar bashes. Palms and ferns, geraniums, sweet peas and roses in gorgeous profusion adorned the inter ior of the square. The tables also bore generous bouquets and a boutonniere of fresh moss roses was at each plate.' Smilax trailed over the snowy linen be tween the dishes. . The lunch was of un surpassed quality, and in .ample quantity, ranging from lobster salad to ice cream and coffee. It was served by daintily attired maids and mitrons who knew well how to please. At the close of the meal large bouquets were bestowed on the visitors, who bore them like trophies to their train. ; - :- - "When all were seated at the table Mayor M. S. Woodcock delivered a shoit address of welcome! . , Before leaving the hall Chairman Cake, of the Porrland committee, in a few "words returned thanks to thopaople of Corvallis, and particularly the Ladies Coffee Club, un der whose auspices the lunch and decor ations were arranged, for the magnifi cence of the entertainment provided. Though it was train time, there was a call for' Chairman Burton, of the con gressional committee, and he spoke a iew woras, saying tne committee s re ception in Oregon had been a constant gratiBcation and surprise; that it show ed that Qregon was filled not only with nature's graudeur, but also witli grand men and women. He promised' due consideration for the claims of Oregon and got a hearty round of applause." Mayor Woodcock s address follows : In behalf of the citizens of Corvallis and of Benton county it is with pleasure that I extend to you a hearty greeting. The people of Oregon through a series of experiences and observations have been taught to believe that ranch ot the prosperity and development of this country depends upon the favorable w tion of the River and Harbor Committee of the United States respecting the im provement of the many harbors and riv ers i a this country. "When you under stand that freight rates on the Willanv lamette river have been reduced from $12 per ton in I860, to $3 at the present time to and from Portland, Oregon, you can readily understand how. deeply in terested the people become in snbjects of transportation and especially in the aid which the River and Harbor Committee mav grant for their "relief, v Being com paratively a new : 'cenntry and several hundred miles Of it so sear the Pacific coast, there are so many; harbors de manding and needing attention that the people of the East are liable. to conclude that we are asking without merit. - We have'near- at hand. the mouth, of . the great, Columbia ...river, the same river reaching-out to the vast empire of East ern Oregon; the beautiful Willamette river extending through this valley at our door; on the east Coos fcay ; Siuslaw bay on the South,- and Yaquina bay on the west, all calling for i more or less ap propriations. . -.Z: r . lne people of the Willamette valiey, and especially those of the central and southern part thereof, are particularly interested in appropriations to improve the channel of the Willamette river and of Yaqnina harbor. .:: The channel of this river" should be so improved that steamboats can run from here to Port land during the who'.e year. - Under pres ent conditions ; there are a few shoal: and bars which prevent profitable navi gatlon from-; June to November. Just opposite here the channel of the river is being threatened with a change wtich will divide "the' Volume of water iu tw parts resulting in permanent damage to navigation. Appropriations have been applied upon tliis place, but so email are the amounts appropriated , that much danger of damage and loss is being sus tained in net poshing the ork more rani "- to completion .j". The improve -meL.lv.'' (!ie t.rbr?r at Yaquina bav. ly ing 45 miles west of us, is much needed and desired by the people of this valley. The money appropriated through Con gress and expended on the Yaquina har bor was saved threa or four times to the producers of the Willamette "Valley in reduced rates of freight. Had the ap propriations been continued on this har bor, the amounts expended would soon have been returned to the producers in reduced freights. When it was urged during the discus sions in congress against aid to con tinue this work, "that the traffic had so largely decreased that a necessity for the improvement no longer existed,'', this objection was certainly not understood at that time by congress or the committee. That the traffic decreased was a fact, but the conditions which led to this decrease was the strongest and best reason which could possibly be urged in favor of con tinuing the improvement. The traffic had assumed such proportions through Yaquina bay that on the side tracks along the railroad line stood all of the available freight cars for months and the large ware bouse at Yaquina City and those along the line of road were filled with outgoing produce and freights wait ing for shipment ; being behind the ca pacity of the steamship line for two or three months. . ' , Finally the gold excitement iu Alaska created such a large demand for steam boats in the. Alaska trade for which much larger sums' were paid for charters than could possibly be paid in any es tablished trade Bailing out of Oregon ports, that all of the steamers were drawn off of the Yaquina trade and put on the trade to Alaska. When those inter ested in maintaining the Yaquina trade learned of this and made an attempt to supply other steamers it was found chat all other available . steamships on this coast suitable for the Yaquina trade had also been chartered for Alaskan ports. The people of the Willamette Valley soon realized that the traffic through Ya quina bay had fallen off. In other words it was forced off.- The owners of the accumulated freight were compelled to and did return all of that freight oyer the same road -which previously carried it westward ; then down through this valley and out over the Columbia bar by way ot Portland. But H was not the fault of Yaquina harbor or the people who prior to that time found a saving in shipping oyer the Yaquina bar, that it did not go that way. I mention this so that if the question of aid is again asked in congress for improviog Yaquina har- bor you will know that while the asser-j tiou that the trade declined is true in fact, yet the circumstance which forced the decline is the most substantial and strongest reason why the appropriation should be granted, and the improvement completed. .-...' .. "We do not ask for aid for these rivers aud harbors- as a convenience only to special localities, but for reasons of pub lic policy-it is necessary to improve these rivers aud harbors to afford means of maintaining competing systems of trans portation reducing freigh ts and leading to greater development of the country. The improvement of Yaquina harbor affords means of competition with lines transporting freight by way of the Col ombia river and the railroads end vice versa. - There was a time,: when the sys- I terns of transportaion- shrough Yaquina bay and by way of the Columbia- river were in active operation, that wheat was worth in Corvallis within two or three cents as much as in Portland. Now we have to pay from nine to ten cents per- bushel' to ship wheat to Portland. Think of the great saving tliis would ba to this country ' when applied to all of the freight ; disbursed ; and received. Freight was then carried by way of Ya quina bay to Portland and also to the southern partof the state, f " "We regret, very much that your stay with us ia such that - we cannot sho .v you personally and in detail these sev eral places needing improvement..
