bany and Linn county, pulled out of
the station promptly at 9:15 o'clock
this morning, enroute to Eugene over
the newly constructed Oregon Elec

Lyon street to Montgomery street, a
distance of two blocks, and the cars
were all filled before the conductor
gave the signal to start. Everybody

undoubtedly contribute their share to
the pleasure of the big celebration to

A most dramatic ending to the
speech of Alfred E. Clark, progres
sive nominee for United States sena
tor from Oregon, occurred at the
local opera house last evening when
a telegram was handed the speaker
just as he was closing his address,
telling of the shooting of Colonel
.Roosevelt at Milwaukee.
Mr .Clark read the telegram to the
audience who were awed by the news,
coming at that particular time, and
none knew wtiat to think about it.
The speaker finished his address a
few minutes later and then hurried to
his hotel to get the particulars of the
affair. .
Mr. Clark addressed a fair-sized au
dience at the opera house last evening
on the issues at the coming election.
He advocated the development of the
agricultural resources of the central
and southern portions of the state
that have heretofore received but lit
tle attention.
"In the great work of building up
our state," he said, "the federal gov
ernment should do its part and the
members of the senate and house of
representatives should see that it
does." He pointed out that so far
Oregon had not received its just share
of the proceeds of the public land sold
in this state, while neighboring states
had received far more than they had
contributed.
Mr. Clark vigorously declared that

Electric 'depot at Fifth and Lyon

the crowd boarded the special train

cial left Corvallis promptly at 8:45
o'clock and will leave Eugene on the
return trip at 5:30 p. ni. Included on
the Corvallis special was a large dele
gation from Lebanon.

Oct-18-Novl5
the public lands of Oregon should re
main here to build up our state and
denounced any other policy as unjust
to us and gross favoritism to other
states... He said that a senator should
represent the whole state and that
Central Oregon and its development
should receive as much attention as
any other section. The deepening of
the Willamette river was urged and
delay in opening the locks at Oregon
City criticised.
Discussing the tariff he advocated
inimediate revision downward along
lines designed to reduce the cost of
living, suspension of duties on trust
controlled articles and a nonpartisan
tariff commission. The policy of tar
iff for revenue only was declared im
practicable, leading inevitably to free
trade upon all our productions and
urged instead the use of tariff duties
as a means of extending our foreign
markets through reciprocal arrange
ments under which the products of
our farms and factories would be ad
mitted free to other nations in ex
change for free admission of their
products needed by us.
B. E. Kennedy, candidate for secre
tary of state, spoke briefly, calling at
tention to the fact that at present the
governor, treasurer and secretary of
state were all residents of Salem and
urging that some other section of the
state be given representation as a
matter nf good business policy.
