The inaugural ceremonieB forced the
grreat event of yesterday at the state
capitol and were the means of rawing"
an Immense crowd to' 'the hall ojf repre
sentatives long before the ceremonies
began.. During their; progress, he gallery-was
filled, to its entire capacity,
the masculine gender predominating
and the visitors' portions of J the hall
Itself was thronged -to j perfect

-hefe they was an almost unbearable
crush. The ladies predominated below
and stood their, ground manfully in the
c"oritest for favorable positions. -. .
The. message of the retiring govern
or, W. ; P. Lord, though' unusually
lengthy for him, was-llstene4to with
wrapt rattention by the -. vast j assem
blage, and evoked spontaneous ap
plause at occasional periods 'of its
finest thought and '-rhetoric. On the
whole the addres sof Governor . Lord
was permeated with wise and practical
suggestions, born of long experience
and observation, yet the general Im
pression of the reader, who penises the
document will be thatHjany of; the
suggestions are much moreen the na

' ".Oregon celebrates her fortieth birth
year by the inauguration of a gov
einor who was. born within her terri
torial bounds. This fact is notable,
not because a native son will sit in the

"The Incident Is Important, however,
in calling the nation's, attention to
the fact Hiat our commonwealth Is no
longer a younger -sister, but a mature
member of the family of states. ,
' "The home, the calling and the ex

Yeeter3ay's session of tbe fuuse was
uneventful, barring the stirring discus
sion of committee clerk matters which
