GOVERNOR ROGERS OF WASHINGTON STKOXGLT DENOUNCES THE ATTACK ON HIS ADMINISTRATION. Says State Agricilta.il College Is All Right aid Certaii Tersoss Tryiig to flake fuliticil Capital. J. R. Roger, governor of the tt or Washington, quietly slipped Into town yesterday from Ilwaco, and spent a few hours with his friends here, taking the I evening boat for Olympla V.a Portland. The governor said he made an address at South Bend, and found he could not 'return by train until the following day. so took advantage of the opportunity to J visit Ilwaco and Inspect the fish traps. 'ever which there Is considerable contro-U-ersy. "I had never been ln Ilwaco, and 'enjoyed the visit there very much. 1 I like Astoria and regret that my time I go limited that I cannot call on all my friends. I want to say now, too, that I appreciate the courtesies I have re ceived here, and want to thank the As- torian reporter for the fair and correct account telegraphed the Associated Press of the Interview with me on the occa sion of my former visit here, some weeks ago." "Governor, what Is there in the nrtlcles which have appeared In the last few days ln the Seattle and Tacoraa papers tn re gard to the board cf regints ot tho Ag ricultural College resigning ln a body because they did not care to be longer associated with a bad government?" "I have not read the articles, but pre sume It Is the result of an effort to throw dirt on my party and my administration and put us In a hole. The State Agri cultural College Is all right, and win open tomorrow with a full corps or teachers, under President Bryan, and with more than 300 pupils. You see, Pres ident Bryan, who is a magnificent edu cator, took hold of the school when It had only 27 pupil and has built It up to Its present high standard. Bryan Is not a very good financier, and by law Is sec retary of the board of regents. Well, the board left things almost entirely to him, and he spent a good deal of money for things that were not needed, from a lack of good business Judgment. There was no stealing or crookedness whatever. but now, for political capital, the regents resign to escape the consequences ot their own neglect of duty. It Is all bun combe. The college Is going right along and will continue to grow." "What will be thu outcome of the ac tion of the board?" "I don't yet know what will be dono about a new board, but you can state aa strongly a you like that the efforts of certain people and newspaper to put us In tbe hole will uterly and ab solutely fall. It Is only done for political effect and their designs and scht-mjs will come to naught." THE FEVER IN MOBILE.

ERA OF RENOWNED PROSPERITY HERE Speech of Controller Eckels at the Denver Banquet.

Eckel wa the guet of honor at the banquet given thl evening at the Brown Palace Hotel by the Deli ver Clearing Houm Association. Over luO distinguished citizen of Colorado were present. In hi addres Eckel Mid: "It will not do for the Eat to boat of its possession of the surplus capital of the Country. It I for the Well to point with overweening pride to It splen did rtourc and It wonderful advance ment. Tbe wealth ot the one but con tinue to diminish If not employed, and. that of the other Is of no avail If not developed. Tbe advancement of both fol lows the sa.m pathway and center ln the same interest. "I am not unmindful of the fact that a large majority of the citizen of this state feel that they have In the economy of commerce been sorely Injured tn one of their great wealth-producing Indus tries. If such a result ho followed, they have not been left wholly without com pensating Demerits, nor have they uSreiI more keenly than have, at varlou times In the country' history, other who have embarked in other line of undertaking. "The law of the commercial world, through all Its history. Is proven to be the Jaw of a continuous change. More than once New England and the Eat have been compelled to yield to other sections of the country great Industrie which their people had hoped to build up for the future. And In the year to come I doubt not that other and great changes will come upon them. It I not without the range of possibilities that the Carolina may draw from Massachu setts the cotton mill and the tate ot Tennessee and Colorado from Pennsyl vania the steel an! Iron Industries. Brit If they do. following; the line of economic truth, some new development will be fostered which will more than make repa ration for the seeming loss." Mr. Eckels closed with the prophecy that the country is now entering upon an era of renowned prosperity ln which the Ecjk, West, North and South will partici pate. LOCATING FORTS. Sar. Francisco, Sept. 23. The United States engineers In charge of tho harbor fortifications of SUn Francisco have di rected that a survey be made on the shore line on the south aide of the bay and Golden Gate from Black Point to Point Lobos. The purpose of the survey which has Just begun and will be com pleted a week hence. Is to accurately lo cate the forts for the Inforaiitlon ot the war department. Army and navy officers here think the harbor defense are now sufficiently well advanced to stand off any fleet that Spain or Japtn could put Into action here, and they are strong enough, with the as sistance of the batteries of the Monterey and Monadnock type, and with the aid of torpedoes, to make a splendid fight against the best fleet England would be likely to send here.
