was taken to Portland and exhibited
there by W. E. Coinnn.
Returning to the shakers' stand,
Mr. Hill then addressed the large
gathering. Hewns fmiuently ap
plauded and one spectator inter
rupted him at one point to say: "I
have known you since 1S5S and you
are the best man that ever lived.
Mr. Hill." The great Empire
Builder spoke in part as follows:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: We aic
hero today to celebrate ihe event of
n new trail into Central Oregon.
This country, the ontire Northwest,
owes something to those who came
before. They owe n great deal to
the pioneers who took their lives in
their hands, both the man and the
woman, because it would have been
a lonesome place for the men if the
women had not been willing to
come.
Now you arc all interested in
this country, each man for himself
and all for all. What helps Oregon
helps every man in Oregon, and if
you want to do what is best for
each one of you, you will work to
gether for the advancement of the
entire state. You have a nice start
for a town here and an ambition to
be a city, and I know no reason why
you should not have a city here,
and there is no reason except that
the country behind you is not built
up.
"Go to work and build up the
country, because the cities would
starve to death if it were not for
the country, and nations that have
neglccted,the cultivation of the soil
have faded from the face of the
earth.
"There is no reason why Central
Oregon should not produce enor
mous wealth. We have a good deal
of faith in it. If we did not have
we would not have come here.
"I have heard all sorts of stories
of Central Oregon. I want to tell
you a little one. I never gave it
away. I hoard a great deal of Ore
gon and heard a great deal of good
about it. Some lauded it to the
skies, others said it was desert and
it would not support four jack
rabbits to an acre. I was in Port
land at a small dinner party, and
when the dinner was about half
over they brought one of your
neighbors in, brought in Mr.
Hanley.
"I looked him ovor and I talked
with him, and he talked to me like
an honost, straightforward man,
and he did not toll me that Contrel
Oregon was a Garden of Eden, but
he told me there wag a great deal
of country down here that was not
understood. A great deal of
country that would produce any
thing that was nocoseary to make
comfortable, well-solectod homos for
a great population.
"I thought that he told an honost
story and I wanted to check it up.
I sent others in to-check up his
statements, and I found that he had
told the truth, and that was the
starting point of the Orogon Trunk.
What William Hanley told me that
evening led me to invostigate, and
I found that he did not overstate it
in any particular, and you see what
has followed.
gunbarrel and keep it there and hit
the mark. Lot mo say to you that
the mark is to get people into this
country. You could not build n
prosperous community in the Garden
of Eden and we could not run n
railroad there if there was nobody
lint Adam and Eve to use it. It
would bo u dismal failure. They
would not have far enough to go to
visit each other. '
"Now what you must have, and
what we must have, is people. You
have got the soil. I have seen evi
dences of it everywhere. e went
to Uiidlnw and Sisters this morning,
went out to see some country. Much
of it looked very Kd. We saw
the vegetables anil grains and
grasses, the products of the soil that
retlect the power anil the natural
wealth of the soil and there is no
mistake about it. It can be done
because it has been done.
"Let your people move forward
carefully and wisely and we feel
confident that if they do their duty
to the land the land will resjwnd to
them and do all that they have any
reason to expect and in many cases
much more. And before 1 close 1
want to say we have here our rail
road neighbor of the Union Pacific,
and we are like Daniel in the lions'
den.
"Now we mean to get along with
them. When they get in a tight
place we are going to extend the
helping had of fellowship and if we
get into a tight place we will call
on them. We won't make faces at
each other across the fence.
"We found there was room
enough even for two railroads down
there in the Deschutes, and hoi'
both of them will have all they can
carry. At any rate we are going
to try to sit next to you so that we
will get our share. We have a
close noighboi that is, the Great
Northern has up in the North.
"The Northern Pacific and Great
Northern used to scrap ami fight,
but they got over it and together
they pooled their issues ami built
the North Hank road, and they
again pooled their issues ami built
this line, and when it is finished you
will have n great railroad, ami it
will not be a great while until it is
finished and you can take a com
fortable ride, leaving here in the
morning, ami I hope you can soon
do a day's work ami leave here ir.
the evening and get to Portland for
brottkfast. That is a lot butter
than you used to do.
"As I told you before, we have
spent botweon ispoKano ami 1'ort-
land, and in Oregon, between eighty
five and ninety millions ami we have
not received any returns on it, but
we have faith we will, ami we will
if you will help us, because every
dollar that we ever get you have
got to win it first, and if you are
poor we are going to be jwor, and
if you are prosperous we ought to
have a little share of your pros
perity, ami we hope to got it. I
wish you all Godspeed and every
particle of luck and prosiwrity that
can come to you."
As soon as his address was finish

view the exhibits and at 3 p. m. the
special left for Spokane. Mr. Hill
