assembly. regents, faculty, students,
alumni and friends of the university
settled back to drink in every word. And
so strong and frank was that message
and so earnest was the manly tone in
which ii was delivered that few cared to
interrupt irs delivery with the applause
it deserved. 1t left no doubt as to the
course of the new president. and it left
no one less sanguine of the future, There
was no shadow of promise in it that did
not assure the substance of performance.
1t was sincere to the point of Spellbnd-
ing, and when its last word had been
uttered it was a several seconds before
the applause expressive of full satisfac-
tion was offered. In part President

ALUMNI BANQUET.
Graduates Honor the New
President and Other Guests

The alumni banquet in honor of the new
president of the University of California,
held in the maple room OF the Palace
Hotel last night, was a fitting climax to
the formal inaugural ceremonies Of the
day. For four hours graduates, pro,
fessors and regents made merry round
the festive board.
President Wheeler was then introduced.
He thanked the alumni for the cordially

Regent Hallide admitted a few mo-
ments later that 1t was wholly super
fious for him to introduce President David
Starr Jordan and so the event proved.
No sooner had the stalwart head Of Stan
ford reared itself on the assembled vision
than it was greeted with an outpurst or
good will. Three times did he essay a
beginning Of his address and three times
was he compelled to bide such time as the
demonstrative collegians got through
dinning in his and everybody's ears what
a good fellow they considered him. At
last he was allowed to proceed, but not
to finish before he had many times over
reason to feel proud of the good feeling
for him in the Berkeley breast. His
references to the united front the two
universities should present to the world
and his predictions on the future of Presi-
dent Wheeler were particularly ac-
claimed. He said in part:

but were scattered in small groups

effective and probably never to be dupli-
Gated.
Musical "hi yippi yonders" and hockey
WOW vows" kept the crowd in splendid
spirit until fanfare from the band gave
notice that the inaugural procession was
making its way down the cinder path:
In a minute 1t was on the outskirts of
the throng and the next was making its
way across the brief open space to the
stand. Every body rose TO watch its pro-
gress and the collegians redoubled their
vocal demonstrations of delight.
First, leading the way, came Professor
Soule. and following close after came
Regent Hallidie, the Rev. Horatio Steb-
bins, Regent Houghton, President Wheel
er, President Daniel c. Gilman of Johns
Hopkins and President David Starr Jor-
dan of Stanford, all three presidents in cap
and gown. Following came the regents, in
Guiding Mrs. Hearst. the members of the
faculty, their ladies and the invited
guests. among whom were United States
Senator George c. Perkins and Major
General Shafter.
Handclappings and cheers sounded
loudly as the regents and their guests

man and Jordan and Wheeler were all
right. A yell was improvised for Johns
Hopkins, which is not supposed to have
such article, and yells We're sounded
for Stanford and Berkeley. and the en-
thusiastic alumni and undergraduates
were still yelling when Regent Hallidie
arose to call the great gathering to order,
introducing DR.. Voorsanger, who offered
a prayer. Heads were reverently un-
covered in. the sun as he invoked the
blessings of the Father on the work about
to be formally inaugurated.
At the conclusion Regent Hallidie, to
whom the regents had decreed the honor
dressed the assemblage. He said in mart:

its influential Portland readers to an
swer the Ledger through the Astorian's
columns A decent regard for not only
Portiands interests, but those of the
whole state OF Oregon. demands a re-
ply to the Ledger's remarkable state
ments, The Ledger's article is as fol-
lows:
In the lively controversy going on
between Portland and Astoria as to
their comparative advantages and fu-
ture prospects as shipping points, facts
are permitted to escape which are in
tcr1sting TO other communities, Both OF
these cities have. OF course, been GER
tail that the Sound country was not
in the race In comparison with either OF
them; and while the cities on the
Sound have been going ahead, inoreas-
ing business and establishing control
Of trade, they have been favored with
abundance and variety of reasons why
they could not do what they We're actu-
ally doing at that moment. The i'm
pregnable character OF their position is
now admitted in the heat Of one dis
putant over the obStinacy Of the other
Portlands favorite text has been its
superiority as a shipping point over
Puget sound. Thereupon rises Astoria
to inquire why. II one engine on the
U. K. Il n. can haul as much into
Portland as four can haul on the
Northern into Tacoma, the former rail
read should not be required to make a
reduction in its freight rates. This is
a fair question, says Portland. and
shall have a fair answer. But. as, X
knows better. knows that Il has no such
superiority in competition as it claims,
1t points to the large expenditures OF
the .. r. 4 N. in improving its line.
and follows with this interesting and
honest confession:
But Of course no person who is ac-
Quainted with the railway business ex-
poets the q. r. & n. to establish and
maintain lower rates to Portland than
will be given to Puget sound by the
railways that terminate there. In other
words, whatever cut may be made by
the .. r. & n. in freight rates on the
products OF the upper Columbia will be
met by the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific. . We shall never, there
fore. have lower rates 10 Portland and
Astoria than they will make to Puget
sound"
This is the situation in a nutshell.
The hope of either of the Oregon cities
that the natural advantages Of the
Sound can be offset or overcome is a
vain one. The great foreign business
of the Northern Pacific will be done
here, where the transcontinental lines
Of transportation converge. where the
ocean comes up to our doors and in
dangers or Instructions to navigation
The business world knows ii already,
or the shipping trade OF the Sound
would not be what it is, and increasing
with such wonderful rapidity. We have
the advantages that nature gave us;
and that no competitor can set them
aside by artificial favor is secured by
our ample rail connectiors. 1t is none
the less pleasing to find the facts ad-
mitted by those whose interest has
seemed to lie in denying them in the
