VICE-PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.
Splendid Effort by Fairbanks on
Opening of Fair.
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

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..
