ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
LOST RIVER PLANT
KLAMATH FA'I.l-S, Ore., May 27,
An attempt to blowup the Irriga
tion pumping plant near the Lost
River bridge at Bonanza near here at
midnight Sunday was frustrated 6y
the fact that the perpetrator placed
the explosive In the wrong place, so
the actual damage done, was slight,
The roof ot tho building over the
pump and motor was blown partly
off, the main shaft somewhat sprung
and a few minor Injuries caused to
the motor and pump.
The damage can be repaired and
tho Irrigation, which is now In pro
gress can proceed.:
-vThe person who planned the ex
plosion was clever enough to wear
sacks on his feet, so that It would be
very difficult to track him. He so-
cured;dyaamlte and fuse from
place nearby, where It has been kept

"The honor has been aecoraeu mo.
President Wilson said in beginnins
his speech, "of making the first
speech tonight. 'and I am very glad lo
avail mvsclf of that privilege, i want y
to sav that I feel very much at home
in this company, though after all I
suppose no one of us feels thoroughly
at home except on the other siue oi

the same conceptions, and I .tninK

IVcsiilency Is Behind
T im particularly glad to have tho
opportunity of puving my respect
to Mr, Passou. It is very aeuguum
for one thing, if I mav say so. to
know that mv presidency is not ahead

ahead of him. I wish him everv lino- ,
piness and .every success -with mo
greatest earnestness, and vet I can
not, if I mnv iudee bv mv'own ex
perience, expect for him a very great
exhilirntion in the performance of
duties of his office, because after all.
to be the head of an American-state
is a task of unrelieved rosponsinit
itv. ...'.-. ... ;" .
" American constitutions as a rule .
nut so many duties of the highest
sort upon the president, and so much
of the responsibility ot attnirs o
state is centered upon him. that his
vcars of office ore apparent to be
years a little weighted with anxiotv. .
a little burdened .with tho sense of the
obligation of spenkinsr for his people,

endeavoring to accomplish what thev,

A Great Task
"I suppose no more delicate task
is given anv man man to mieruioi
the feelings and the purposes of a
grent people. . I know that if I muv
speak for mvsclf. the chief anxiety
I bnvc hud has been to be the true .
interpreter of a national spirit, ex
pressing no privuto nnd : peculiar
views, but trving to express tlio gen
eral spirit of a nation. .
'And a nation looks to its presi
dent to do that: and the comradeship
of an evening like this docs not con
sist merely of the sense of neigho
borhood. We aro ' neighbors. Wo
have nlwavs been friends. But that
is all old.. Something new has hap
pened. 1 am not sure that I cun put
it into words but there has been added
to the common principles which have
united the Americans timo out of
mind a feeling thut the world ut Inrgo
has accepted those principles, that
there has gone out a thrill after hopo
and of expectation throughout tho
nutions of the world which somehow
seems to have its source and fountain
in the things we always believed in.
