THINKS PORTAGE ROAD SHOULD
Be BUILT At The DALLES
Prominent Colfax Man Now in City Believes by
This Step Immediate Needs of People
Will be SubServed

seems to me that in view of the fact
that it will take years to build the
canal that the portage project should
be pushed more and the road built to
completion. 1t is more vital to the
interests of the people of the present
generation to have something and that
speedily. The portage road could be
constructed within a year or two while
the canal would probably be tied up for
many years to come. The engineers
estimate that the portage road will cost
about $l5S.000, leaving sum on hand
for incidentals amounting to $1,000. If
more money is needed there is no doubt
but what the people of both Washing
ton and Idaho will contribute suffi-
cient amount to cover any deficiency"

close a deal with the association the
house will be run in conjunction with
the Ridgeway theater management and
attractions would be booked for both
houses. There is nothing definite,
however. and IL Messrs. Davenport and

will lend every assistance possible TO
have good attractions booked here.

Following is the address in full
The place where we now are has won
a double distinction. Here was fought
one Of the great battles Of all time, and
here was spoken one of the few
speeches which shall last through the
ages. AS long as this republic endures
or its history is known. so long shall
the memory of the Battle Of Gettysburg
likewise endure and be known; and as
long as the English tongue is under
stood, so long shall Abraham Lincoln's
Gettysburg speech thrill the hearts of
mankind.
The civil war was a great war for
righteousness; a war waged for the
noblest ideals, but waged also in
thoroughgoing. practical fashion. 1t
was one of the few wars which mean,
in their successful outcome, a lift
toward better things for the nations of
mankind. Some wars have meant the
triumph of order over anarchy and H.
centiousness masquerading as liberty:
some wars have meant the triumph of
both liberty and order. the triumph of
orderly liberty, the bestowal of civil
rights upon the freed slaves. and at the
same time the stern insistence on the
supremacy of the national law through
out the length and breadth of the land
Moreover, this was one of those rare
contests in which 1t was to the i'm
measurable interest of the vanquished
that they should lose. while at the same
time the victOrs acquired the precious
privilege of transmitting to those who
came after them. as heritage OF honor
forever, not only the memory of their
own valiant deeds, but the memory Of
the deeds Of those who no less valiantly
and with equal sincerity of purpose,
fought against the stars in their courses
The war left to us all. as fellow coun-
try-men as brothers, the right to re-
joice that the Union has been restored
in indestructible shape in a country
where slavery no longer mocks the
boasts Of freedom. and also the right
to rejoice with exultant pride in the
courage, the self sacrifice, and the de-
votion, alike Of the men who wore the
blue and the men who wore the gray.
