and Instructive address on "Preaching
of the Present Day."

In the work of the various women's or

Yesterday was Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial Day. H. W. Scott, first vice
president of the Lewis and Clark Centen
nial Corporation, was Introduced - by
Secretary Cross, of tbe Chautauqua as
presiding officer at tbe afternoon exer
cises. Mr. Scott delivered an address
giving the history of the deacovery of
the Northwest, and concluded by giving
the reasons for the exposition.
He then introduced . Judge Richards,
the' orator of the day, who spoke of the
Fair from a commercial point of view,
and forecasted some of the openings
which Oregon will have in tbe Orient,
He oonoluded bis address by reminding
those present that communication ' by
water by the shorter route with the East
is necessary. When the Eastern peo
pie come out and see this country they
will readily recognize the need of a ca
nal, or two, If necessary."
Governor-elect Chamberlain was then
Introduced by Mr. Scott, who said: "Why
should I attempt to be formal in men
tioning the next name on tbe program?
Tou know him as well as I, and I sup
pose the people of Oregon 'know him bet
ter than I, for they elected him Gover
nor, and I did not."
Mr. Chamberlain took as his subject
the answer as to what benefits the 1908
Fair will be to Oregon. He handled his
subject; in a masterful way, giving first
the products of Oregon and then say
ing that two of the greatest benefits
which Oregon would get would be an in
creased immigration from the East and
the establishment of an outlet for all
surplus products.
Ex-City Attorney J. M. Long then
spoke on the future of this great North
west, drawing beautiful pictures and
vivid contrasts with the past.
The Lewis and Clark Civic Improve
ment Association was represented by one
of Its most active workers,' George M
Hyland, who. In a brief address, de
scribed the work of the association, and
aaid that Portland will lose all of its old
shacks and nuisances if they.could help
it. '
After Mr. Hyland, Secretary Cross, of
the Chautauqua, promised that his or
ganization will render all the aaslstance
possible to the Fair, and that in its in
terest days would be set aside at the
1903, 1904 and 1905 sessions.
Previous to the above program there
was an exciting baseball game. In which
Oregon City defeated Vancouver by
score of 10 to 6.
In the evening Dr. Thomas McClary
delivered an address on "The American
Home," which was highly interesting.
and was appreciated by a large audi
ence. J
W. C. T. U. AT CHAUTAUQUA.
Mra. Unruh, who -conducts the W. C.
T. U. institutes, is an assistant superln
tendent of the department of purity In
the National - Union, ana as such has
addressed audiences of men alone, of
men and women, of teachers,- of stu
dents, and of children in nearly every
state of the Union, and is deeply in
terested in this theme.
She presented the subject of "Purity
In the Home" In a brief address at Chau
tauqua this morning.
Mrs. Unruh said: "No subject could
bear a more vital relation to the home.
or be of more Interest to tha lover of
home than this one. The subject of pur
ity in all of its phases Is a tremendous
one, and one mat we must recognise
whether we will or not. The failure to
so recognise it has taken more than
250,000 girls out of homes In America
and has set them to plying a trade in
Virtue, turning from tempted to tempter,
until your boy, menaced by temptation,
without answering to appetite within,
falls Into the subtle tolls of sin and
comes forth with his manhood smirched
and stained and his self-respect gone,
The failure to properly recognise this
not alone now but in the generations
past and gone, whose mistakes have left
a heritage of weakness and passion, that
sways and holds captive Its victims, has
given us today a great army of men
who make this trade in virtue possible
men who are partners In degredatlon
with the sinning women . to whom that
awful name is applied which our shud
dering lips hesitate to pronounce. As
polluted as she even though - popular
opinion condemns the sin In her and
condones the mistake in him.
The failure to observe the laws of
purity has tainted the blood of thou
sands of Innocent persons, through Inher
itance, with that blood, poison whose
stain cannot be washed out by time or
drugs, which runs riot through the veins
a result of this sin. It has given to
children, sweet and Innocent themselves.
the germs of passion before which they
fall or with which they must fight the
battle of the giants the long life through.
Today experienced teachers tJJ us,, and
physical directors confirm the statement
that a largo - proportion of boys. . even
from good homes, are vctlms of the se
cret vice, while even the daughters are
not Spared this ' degredatlon. The col
umns of tbe press are reeking with tales
of outrage, the court -dockets art full of
the story of shame.' The legislative en
sctmertts of many states are so framed
as to protect vice, and the sowing et wild
oat by tbt society young man is smiled
uDon, and. -our fahr daughters' "are con
signed' to such in tnarrlage to suffer and
bar' children that inherit their father's
sin and shame. But there is a bright
gidsMhera if an amy of women 'whs
arerM'awaisrif the need of an arrest
of thought ahmg- all these lines, and par
ticularly to the need of sowing the seeds
f purity. UCtn. noma
- ii"Ttere is a splendid amy of grand,
splendid, wbtte-souled men. living lives
as pure as Sir Galahad, pure enough to
see the Holy Orall, and practical enough
to work for holiness of life Just where
they are. Were I to lose faith in these,
I should long since have given up the
batUa aa an impossible struggle. It is
true that because of false standards and
tremendous temptation many men
have sold their inheritance of manhood
for a bitter mess of pottage, but it also
Is a glorious and encouraging fact that
can be demonstrated that the world has
never known more clean men ot high
ideals, brave, steadfast purposes and
pure, whits lives than we have today.
say this for there is danger that we grow
hitter at the revelation of uneleanness
and so loss the comradeship In battle
with these strong men. a battle that
can never be successfully won by cither
alone."
Mra Anns Rlggs, of the Florence Crit
terdon Home, gave a very interesting
talk on rescue work.
The address by Mr. John Lathrop on
yesterday afternoon waa full of earnest
thought, helpful advice, and clearly
showed that not only waa the speaker's
heart Interested in the theme but he had
given to It most careful study. Though
differing in matter from most talks In
these meetings. It was intensely interest
ing and practical. Mr. Lathrop brought
before the audience, as only one who had
lived through these experiences could do.
a vivid picture of the real boy not the
one who lives In a story and set forth
in a most attractive, and in parts a
touchtngly pathetic way, his needs. The
points emphasised were the Importance
of keeping faith with the boy as sternly
as we do with men In business life, of
trusting him, calling forth an answering
manliness and nobility by real not as
sumed confidence a careful study of the
individual boy nature and a recognition
of and sympathy with his special tastes.
Emphasis waa also put upon the need of
physical development and words of com
mendatlon given In favor of many popu
lar sports.
Harry Stone, of the T. M. C. A., will
speak Thursday afternoon on the sub
ject of "Boy" Clubs."

Report Upon the Sub'
jeer by. uaptain
Langfitt.
A partial project for tha continuation, of
the improvement at the month of tha Co
lumbia River has been sent tt) the Chief
of Engineers of the United States Gov
ernment at Washington, by Captain W.
O, Langfitt, of Portland. This shows
that It will not bs possible to extend the
jetty by placing more stone in the river,
this year. Instead, the time will be oc
cupied In finishing the trestle work, re
pairing the superstructure, etc, and In
letting; contracts for stone for next year's
work. '
It will 'probably be possible to utilise
the appropriation to the extent ot ex
tending the present jetty next year two
miles, though not its full height. The
chances are encouraging for ttifc main
tenance finally, of the 40-foot channel at
the mouth of the river.
- The recommendation of Captain Lang
fitt for a continuance of the dredging of
the Willamette and Columbia below Port
land have been approved. He advises
sgalnst buUding a dredge at present, but
suggests the use of the dredge already
In the river for this purpose. No change
will be made In the snagging processes
In vogue in the Willamette above Port
land. 5115 15.

SEVENTH STREET
IMPROVEMENT
Seventh street Is soon to bs improved
in the most modern way, and before this
Is done there is also to be some im
portant changes made in the water supply
system now In use on that street. A pe
tition was filed with the water cony
mlttee yesterday to have a larger main
laid In this street at once, to avoid the
necessity of such an Improvement be
ing undertaken after the street la im
proved. The petition Is signed by all
the large property owners on Seventh
street and adjoining streets, and the
water committee will take up the mat
ter at the next meeting. The' members
of the Board of Fire-Commissioners and
Chief Campbell have signed the petition,
and there la no doubt but that the Im
provement will be ordered at once, the
demand from that portion of the city be
ing ao urgent that the matter cannot be
overlooked, especially In vlaw of the
fact that the permanent improvement of
the street is to be begun at once.
The specifications and estimates for
the Improvement of the street are al
ready out by the engineering depart
ment of the city, and the improvement
contemplated, as shown by the specifica
tions, is for a concrete base from Tarn
hill to Gllsan street and asphalt pave
ment from Yamhill to north side of
Burnslde street, and from north side of
Burnslde to north side of Gllsan street
This Improvement is to be constructed
of stone blocks, set in asphaltic cement
instead of Cement concrete
This is something entirely new in the
line of material for street Improvement,
and the engineering force consider it a
departure In that line that will prove
most satisfactory, as the great obstacle
heretofore has been to find some material
for street improvement that would elim
inate the element ot noise. Just as soon
as it can be decided to place tbe water
main in Seventh street that has been
asked for, the permanent improvement of
the street and sidewalk will be begun.
