fortihcations of san Francisco have di-
rected that survey be made on the
shore line on the south side Of the bay

which has just begun and Will be COM

cate the forts for the informltion or
the war department.
Army and navy officers here think the
harbor defenses are now sufficiently well
advanced to stand off any fleet that Spain
or japan could put into action here.
and they are strong enough, with the as
slstance of the batteries of the Monterey
and Monadnock type, and with the aid
of torpedoes. to make splendid fight
against the best fleet England would be
likely to send here.

100 distinguished citizens OF Colorado

the law Of a continuous change. More
than once New England and the East
have been compelled to yield to other
sections OF the country great industries
which their people had hoped to build
up for the future. And In the years 70

changes will come upon them. 1t is not
without the range of possibilities that

Mr.. Eckels closed with the prophecy
that the country is now entering upon an
era of renowned prosperity in which the
East, West, North and South will partici-

GOVERNOR ROGERS
OF WASHINGTON
STRONGLY DENOuSCES InE ATTACK on
MS ADMINISTRATION.
Says State Agricultural College Is All
Right and Certaia Persons Trying to
Make Political Capital.

]. r. Rogers. governor OF the state OF
Washington, quietly slipped into town
yesterday from nwaco. and spent few
hours with his friends here, taking the
evening boat for Olympia via Portland.
The governor said he made an address
at South Bend, and found he could not
return by train until the following day.
so took advantage of the opportunity to
visit Ilwaco and inspect the fish traps,
ever which there is considerable contro-
versy. II had never been in Ilwaco, and
enjoyed the visit there very much. l
like Astoria and regret that my time Is
so limited that l cannot call on all my
friends. l want 10 say now, too, that
1 appreciate the courtesies l have re-
ceived here, and want TO thank the AS
torian reporter for the fair and correct
account telc graphed the Associated Press
of the interview with me on the occa-
sion OF my former visit here. some weeks
ago"
Governor, what is there in the articles
which have appeared in the last few days
in the Seattle and Tacoma papers in re-
gard to the board Of regents Of the Ag-
ricultural College resigning in body
because they did not care to be longer
associated with a bad government"
Il have not read the articles, but pre-
sumo it is the result Of an effort to throw
dirt on my party and my administration
and put us in a hole. The State Agrl-
cultural College is all right, and viii
open tomorrow with a full corps ol
teachers, under President Bryan, and
with more than 800 pupils. You see, Pres
ident Bryan. who is a magnificent edu-
Gator, took hold OF the school when it had
only 81 pupils and has built 1t up to It's
present high standard. Bryan is not a
very good financier, and by law is sec
retary of the board of regents. Well
the board left things almost entirely to
him, and he spent a good deal of money
for things that were not needed, from a
lack of good business Judgment. There
was no stealing or crookedness whatever.
but now, for political capital, the regents
resign to escape the consequences oi
their own neglect of duty. 1t is all bum
combe. The college is going right along
and will continue to grow"
What will be the outcome Of the ac-
tion of the board?'
'I don't yet know what will be done
about new board, but you can state
as strongly as you like that the efforts
of certain people and newspapers to
put us in the hole will Utterly and abb
solutely fail. 1t is only done for political
effect and their designs and schemes viii
come to naught."
