in JOOo, as possibly ili-
ntennials are centennials
iepeud upon dates, and to mv
mind your exposition is an entirely
different enterpriser from .that just
closed at Ht. Louis. Inasmuch, as I
understand, it is to be ait acknowledg
ment of the daring and perseverance of
those sturdy pioneers whose names are
given to the enterprise; also to make
it an object lesson to the world, and
particularly to the people of the Unit
ed States, of "the vast strides ia civil
ization, manufacturing, farming and
muling throughout tho great states of
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, which
are tributary to tbe export cities of
tbe Columbia and Willamette
rivers
and Puget Sonnd,. , .
"This exposition at Portland, Ore
gon, will do as, much for Portland's
competitors on luget Sound as for
herself, and the exposition will con
centrate in a small area samples and
examples of the wonderful growth and
possibilities of a territory relatively
but little known or understood at the
present day, by a largo proportion of
the citizens of the United States. The
great mineral, farming and manufac
turing opportunities of your fruitful
territory; its 'ast forest and wonderful
water powers And valleys with fertile
fields, together with your numerous
prosperous and -well-Dum cities, eaa
only be appreciated by a personal visit.
''The placer fields of Southwestern
Oregon, with its mountains " covered
with mammoth timber, the farming
sections in your, !romerons valleys, the
vast hop fields and farms watered by
such magnificent- streams as the Rogue;
Uinpqua and .Willamette, together' with
thousands of smaller streams, not men
tioning .the great lakes in your south
ern and central counties, the Snake anl
Columbia rivers, whose waters respec
tively form your eastern and northern
borders, famishing unlimited watir
power and irrigation possibilities make
Oregon the great state it is.

LEGISLATURE NOT AUTHORIZED
TO VACATE GROUND ONCE

This, Together With Protest From La
Grande Officials, Is Reasons Governor
Gives for Vising Veto to Senate Bill
No. 203, by McDonald. .
Oovernor Chamberlain baa fixed bis
veto to Henate bill No. 200, by Senator
McDonald. This bill provided for the
vacation or a tract or ground as a
public square anil certain streets and
alleys in La Grande. In his veto mes
sage tbe Oovernor says:
"The. measure is purely local and
affects only property situate. within
the' eity of La U ramie, but it does not
appear to have originated with tho eity,-
auinoruies or to nave Iveen generally
discussed or acted wpba by the citizens""
it was mtroluced in the Leafslature.
Oa thr contrary, the mayor of the city,
members of tbe council and many citi
zens have protested against the ap
proval of the act for the reasons here
in stated and on other grounds.
"In matters purely local, the Tr'
test of tha dulv elected renrescnUilivesJ'
of the people of the locality affected?
is entitled to the gravest consideration, !
nui- ssiac iroro ine protest or tbe au
thorities and citizens of La Orusde I
do not believe -that tbe Legislature has
power to vacate a pnblte twfnare ia
vny city or to vacate portions of
streets which have been dedicated, and
practically appropriate those portions
of . tie street attempted to be vac ted
to the private use of abutting property
owner, as the aet'in queltioj? does."
Gun Goes Off. ,
Harry Stoddard, of Hammond, acci
dentally shot himself Sunday while rid
ing ia a wagon in that eity. He had
a 22-caliber rifle with him, and in some
way it was discharged, the bnllet en-.
tering bis left side jnst over his heart.1
He was taken to fort Stevens, where':
tbe post surgeon located the bullet in' J
his shoulder, and it is not believed !
that it reached any vital spot. He is 1
resting easily and the chance for bis
terovery are considered good.
