through your state and national gov
ernments a very large sum of money,
the largest sum ever used for the pro-
motion of a public enterprise in your
state, and l might say the appropria-
ton by the taxpayers of Oregon is one
of the largest in proportion to popula-
ton ever made by any state in the
United States. The object for which
this large sum has been directed to
be expended must be of very great
Importance to our people or it would
not have been authorized. The Lewis
and Clark exposition is, however, far
more than a mere local enterprise.
1t was inaugurated for the purpose Of
celebrating the Tooth anniversary of
perhaps the greatest event in the his

there is so much to do 90 get the ben
eft from the expenditure of this vast
sum Of money that every man. woman
and child must make valuable use OF
the opportunity, or, as this old man
has said when our exposition is all
over and our guests are all gone. we
will find that we have done so little.
Opportunity only comes to man or
community once in a whole life.
As Senator ingalls, said of opportuni-
ty:
Master Of human destiny am I.

Cities and fields 1 walk, / penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing
by
Hovel and mart and palace, soon or
late
l knock unbldden once at every gate.
If sleeping wake, If feasting rise
Before turn away; 1t is the hour of
fate
And they who follow me reach every

Mortals desire and conquer every foe

But they who doubt or hesitate.
Condemned to failure, penury and
woe,

answer not and I return no more"
1 do not believe that in the life of
the present generation I'm our state
such an opportunity will come again
to build up our commonwealth and
the prosperity of our citizens as now
presents itself to us. We must re-
member that when we build up the
state we are advancing as well our
personal interest. However, we should
not look at these matters altogether
in selfish way. There is one diff
Guilty always in the way of progress;
that is, the man who can never see
anything but his own selfish interests,
and who, If he could benefit three
neighbors and at the same time bene-
fit himself little, would refuse to do
so because he does not want to see
them succeed. This is, of course, q
most deplorable feeling. Such map
is worse than a parasite. A parasite
will steal from you and rob you, but
a mossback admires only that prog
ress that costs him nothing. 1 hope
that at this time all the selfish inter-
ests of the parasites and mossbacks
will be driven entirely out of our
communities, and that the very best
of brotherly feeling and the spirit Of
industry and ambition for success may
prevail and be our pride during the
whole of the present year.
My friends, l want each and every
one of you to feel perfectly free to
call upon me at any time when at the
exposition, and to bring your friends
and your visitors to the Oregon build
ing, and make it your home and ascer-
tain there any kind of information
that we can possibly give you; and
on behalf of the commission and my
self I desire to thank you most kind
| ly for the hospitality of your citizens
and the honor which you have shown
us this day in your city and commu-
nifty. I am proud that there has been
organized by the farmers and busi-
ness men within our state such sub
stantial and determined organization
to work for the good of a community
| as exists in Echo. You are known
away from your community. You will
be better known away from your
community, and if every city and dis
trict in the state of Oregon would
bring together the producer and the
business man as you have done, and
here demonstrated to the visitors to-
day, the result would be a most Won
derful development. Again thanking
you, etc,

What To Do.
There is comfort i'll the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
YOU should have the best. Sold by drug
gsts in fiftv-cent and one-dollar sizes.

CONTRACT COMPLETED

At recent meeting of the directors
of the Grand Rapids Brewing COM
pany a final settlement was made
with the contractors who erected the
building and those interested in the
plant are greatly pleased with the
manner in which the work was car
ried out and finished up. w. E. Ule
& Co., being w. E. Ule and Louis j.
Ule, were the contractors, the car
penter work being sublet to Playman
Bros. and all of these parties carried
out the terms of their agreement to
the letter. The structure as it stands
is building that the projectors are
proud of, and they feel that a large
measure of the success of the enter
prise is due to the efficient and work
manlike manner in which the contract
was executed. The plant is now
entirely completed and is. in operation
right along and the product will be
on the market about March lst.

as instruments of cruelty at the beck
and call OF the imperial government.
Many are now lighting in the war
With Japan, but they are found of
little use, as they are So uneducated
The JapaneSeS are trained with mans
and held-glasSeS, while the Cossacks
know nothing. The Russians hate
the CoSsackS: but for the ordinary
troops they entertain a different feel
ing. because they are composed of
men of their own blood and have the
same ideals. The government would
not dare TO order out the latter to put
down an insurrectiOn. for the reason
that they would not fire on their
brothers. The COSSackS refuse to
fraterniZe; their interests are all
bound up With those of the emperor.
The system Of government in Russia
produces sort of StOlid bravery
among the people, founded on dense
ignorance. They have an idea that
their country is holy and that it
must never give in to a foreign force
1t is this sentiment which SuStains
them in the present crisis, for their
hearts are not in the RussO-JapaneSe
war.

There is the Cars palace, surrounded

OF the house is tower as one stands on
the seward porch of the home of
Peter the Great and looks down the
stretch of water. Stationed at the
entrance to the road, whose terminus
is the Cars palace, a guard is seen
day and night, standing with a drawn
sword in his hand and with Sheathed
swords and other weapons strapped
about him. The Gar is. in reality. a
prisoner. The peasant woman in the
field and the labOrer upon the uockS

abdicate and thus be rid of the haunt

PORTAGE COUNTY

formation of the above drainage
district was settled at the last session
OF the circuit court at Stevens Point
before Judge O'Neil. The Portage
County Gazette has the following
account of it:
In re Portage County Drainage Dis
trlct. Stipulation for settlement
filed. Among Others who contested
the formation of this district were the
Wisconsin Central and Chicago &
Northwestern railways, the former on
account of the expense that it will be
put to, to erect new bridges, and the
latter for other reasons set forth but
both of these companies have with
drawn their objections. The other
contestants were the owners OF land
in the proposed district, being a part
Of the Buena Vista marsh, and by the
terms of the agreement entered into,
it is stipulated that the lands of the
contestants shall not form a part of
the district, but if the said lands are
benefited bv the proposed drainage
thereof. the owners shall pay the
assessed expense, and if they are
damaged the drainage district shall
pay the amount of such damage. In
case there is disagreement as to the
benefits or damages, the matter shall
be determined in court. Judge
O'Neill, who presided at the special
term of court, held here on Monday
and Tuesday, adjourned court yes
terday afternoon, but will be here on
Wednesday next to sign the final
report and Judgment Of the COM
mission in the above case.
