Vice-President Fairbanks, who attended the opening of the great Exposition as the personal repre sentative of President Roosevelt, in his addresses on this occasion voiced a prediction of great things for the unlimited Wes.. He said: We commemorate an import ant event in American history. We pay tribute to the intrepid explorers who made their ardu ous expedition' up the Missouri, across the Rocky Mountains, . - down to the Pacific, and pointed the ; way to this land of incompar- able opportunity. . Their fame is secute where the deeds of men of heroic mold are forever recorded. They were the forerunners of a high i order of civilization in a territory which prior to their ven turesome enterprise, was terra in cognito. It was a wilderness in habited by aborigines, into which no white man had entered; it has become the seat of empireof vast commercial power. We look upon thtir work with genuine ad' miration and grateful apprecia tion. The expedition which we cele brate was in command of Captain Meriwether Lewis who had been the private secretary of President JeiFerson, and of Captain William Clark, a brother of George Rogers Clark, who rendered such signal and lasting -service on the fron tier during the American Revolu tion. The small band who com posed the expedition possessed the qualities essential to a suc cessful issue. The' were young and full of; enthusiasm. . They had greet powers of endmance, they had tact, and they possess ed moral and physical courage of a high order. They went about their difficult and important work in a manner to insure the best results. They not only went to explore an unknow region, but to make such report of their, dis coveries as would be of the ut most practical value to the world. mi ' 1 m i nere was no adventure and . no failure. Theyproceeded with good judgment, : with ; patience, and with firm resolution. ; Their ap pointed task was fraught - with far-reaching consequences and be set with unknown dangers. . The expedition lay far beyond the frontier and the reach of aid should grave peril arise. We must measure the undertaking from the environment of the time in which it was laid. : The cour? age which, calmly braves unseen peril is. often, ot a higher order than that which confronts known dangers. The Exposition logically fol lows the Exposition which com' memorated the Louisiana Pur chase. It appropriately supple ments it. They both irresistibly suggest our obligation to Thomas Jefferson. We do well to recall his service with the acquisition from France of the Provence of Louisiana ' and his organization ot the Lewis and Clare exposi tion which opened the way to a zone of American civilization, We may well pause to give trib ute to his lofty genius, his pro' found, far-seeing . wisdom, : and his service to the cause of human liberty and progress upon this continent The fruit of his ser vices will bless mankind for ages. William McKinley, one of the greatest and- most beloved of Americans well said in his last speech that "expositions are the time-keepers of progress." .They denote our growth in trade and commerce, in industry and knowl edge and in the arts and sciences. They assemble: the fruit of the genius and endeavor of the peo ple of the : country , and of the world. Each succeeding exposi tion finds us occupying a position of advance. . . PQlJflC AT OUR , POORS A bemficent Providence' has scattered his bounties about you with a prodigal hand. Themigaty Pacific is at - your very doors. It inivites you to an illimitable commerce beyond. Your agri culture, minerals, and your for ests, your genial seasons and the high quality of vour citizen ship attract hither the home- builder. The futnre has much in store for you. Yonder is Ha waii, acquired for strategic pur poses and demanded in the inter est of expanding commerce. Laying in the waters of the Orient are the Philippines, which fell to us by the inexorable logic , of an h umane and -righ teous . war. The Panama' canal . t0 ' the' .south, so lone demanded in the, interest of American commerce; of .the com merce ; of, Uhe ; world,;; is rnow an assured reality, through the wis dom of American diplomacy, the firm and just-resolution of Presi dent Roosevelt, and the pluck and enterprise of American genius and American labor. ; At the north is Alaska, a terri tory possessing vast present and future possibilities, secured to us by far-reaching statesmanship, and her integrity preserved by en lightened and courageous diplo macy. VAST TRADE TO BE GAINED. We must have a vigilant care for our increased interests in the Orient. We must cultivate rela tions of amity with the millions who dwell beyond the Pacific. There lies a vast field of trade which we have long desired to THE WATER COMMISSION. Passed Resolutions That solves Doubt. Dis- 1 possess, and which we have but slowly and inadequately gained. Our foothold is steadily increas ing, and if we are but true to our opportunities, it will be immeas urably enlarged to the advantage of the entire country. If we would have the trade of the peoples of the Far East, we must first have their confidence. Moreover, we must suit our commodities to the needs of those with whom we would traffic; we must study their tastes and adapted to the require ments or satisfy the desires ef people in other countries. - The tragic events which are transpiring1 in the Orient are deeply deplored byvery lover of peace and humanity the world over. I he mighty and bloody conflict had its inception in a de Sire for commercial conquest.. The American people were not indif ferent to their own interests, and early in the" struggle made sure of the preservation of their com mercial advantages in the very theater of. war. Our trade in terests are to be pushed in that far-off country not by the instru ments ot battle, but through the potent agencies of peace. We are destined to play a more important part than heretofore in the com merce in and beyond the Pacific. We must not underrate the com mercial -oppoitunities which in vite ns to the Orient. .You have accomp'ished much since the" first permanent settle ment, appeared, upon this Coast. Within i comparatively recent years, prosperous cities and vil lages have been built, railways have been constructed, ludustries created, schools, colleges and churches founded, and every where we observe the signs of thrift, progress and contentment. There is no seer with vision so I penetrating that he can fore cast the future possibilities of this people in ail of the manifold avenues of, human effort. : V.Who would attempt to mirror the de velopments - upon '. , the r western coast one hundred years hence? Who would dare to prophesy the transformation which "will be wit nessed by those who shall stand here at the close of the present half century? Yes, who will ven ture to foretell the measure of your upbuilding in the quarter of a ; century beyond the present hour? Notice to Creditors. . In all the discussions on mat ters of water in everything in any way pertaining to water and a water system, , there has from the very first been great differ ence ot opinion concerning cer tain things. But it is no more than' fair to presume that there was honest conviction on both sides.'. U After all is said and done, it is admitted that a large majority were in favor, at all times, of a gravity water system, whereby the town could secure an . abund ant supply of water direct from the very heart of the mountains The thoughts of those who enter tained this idea turned to Rock Creek, fourteen or fifteen miles away, as the place where such water, in sufficient quantities, could be secured. . The water bill was passed by the legislature. This was all right and proper and no person offered any objection. But when the bill appeared, on account of a clause whereby those named in the bill as commissioners were practically in for life, trouble be gan, not because the mass of the people were opposed to the per sonnel of the water commission, but for the reason that they be lieved that their rights as a peo ple were transgressed. There is no doubt, nor can anybody post ed in the matter conscienciously deny, that this was the only cause for a difference of opinion so far as the large majority of the people are concerned. The above was the true cause of disagreement. Very well. The first meeting of the water com mission was held in" the council chamber of the city hall Thurs day afternoon and the following named gentlemen composing the water commission were present: J. R- Smith, M. S. Woodcock, Robt. Huston, F. L. Miller, S. L. Kline, B F. Irvine, P. Avery, Thomas Leese, and E. Woodward.'- . .-. '. This was simply an' informal meeting during the course of which P. Avery was elected tem porary chairman and S. L. Kline temporary secretary. There was considerable discussion ot many subjects, but no definite action on any matter was taken. . The meeting was adjourned until 4 p. m. the following day, Friday, June 2. At the appointed time all ; the above-mentioned water commis- sioners were present ana an;r a brief talk, B. F. Irvine, - F. L Miller -and E. woodward were ap. painted a committee on , rules, the iouowing resolutions were passed : '.'Whereas, The City Council of Corvallis is securing a prelirri- here for some weeks. This was practically all the business done at these meetings. So far as we could ascertain there are no defin ite plans mappedl out at present for the future, and the course of the committee will be governed by circumstances. In every way these meetings are reported to have been most harmonious and in the utmost good faith.. Asthma Sufferers Should ' Know This.
