Address by Mrs. Ely at the Open River Rally
Ladies and Gentlemen:

| LADIES ana GenClomen:
Before beginning my few re-
marks-for although I cannot pro-
mise to be brilliant, will surely be
brief-I wish to thank you for your
charming reception and gracious
hospitality to the citizens of your
sister city across the blue waters of
the Columbia-Kennewick. There
is a little poem running through my
mind, written by a women we'll
known to you all, of small stature
but large brain-Ella Wheeler Will
cox-entitled "Kindness:"
80 many Gods, so many creeds
So many ways that wind and wind !,
When all this old world needs
Is just to be kind"
Surely, surely Pasco has been kind.
In opening my short address let
me offer two quotations, the first
from Mrs. Loyal Tomkies, pres
ident of the Woman's Rivers and
Harbors Congress, who says in part:
we see in the question of developed
waterways woman's as we'll as man. s
obligation.'' Again quoting from a
speech made before the eighth an
nual convention of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, by
Mayor Gaynor, of New York City,
who said: AT the beginning of our
government, the same as at the be-
ginning everywhere else in the world,
everyone knew the great importance
of the water highways. Note the
phrase water highways" for that
conveys our meaning. They are
public highways. There were nc
other highways in the beginning ex.
cept the water highways, and the
dirt highways. so that everybody
knew the vast importance of said
highways. Mark, I say highways
because l want to burn it into your
minds that these are all public high.
ways and should be taken care of by
the national government. The ma.
tional government has done much
up to date but could do much more
in that respect. The highways are
held in trust by the government fol
all the people of the country, from
which it follows that the bounder
duty of Congress and of the Govern
ment is to provide money enough to
improve these highways and keer
them in order. Otherwise they are
guilty of a breach of their trust and
should be removed like any othel
trustee. Up to this time believe
(but must not be too positive) the
| kONCIu1llCllU las 1d1SCu llO lIlOIlCy
for this purpose except money raised
by taxation from year to year and
appropriated for that purpose by the
Congress; but my friends 1 see nc
reason why the national government,
if other process be too slow, should
not resort to the sale of bonds to put
and keep these national highways,
these waterways. in order, for the
transportation of commerce. This
is clear, plain case; there is nc
reason why one generation should
pay for the building of road, whe.
ther water or dirt, which is to las,
forever. An individuals credit in
all business is worth much and il
often used and the credit of the ma.
tional government ought to be used
in the same way. Why not? Why
should you and l pay in al day fo1

thing which IS built tor all the
generations to comet"
It is said that whatever affects
transportation facilities of any part
of this country touches its economic
life ut the very center.
The question of transportation is
the most important one before the
civilized world today. Now this
open river or waterway movement
is conceived in no spirit of hostility
to the railways; waterways are de-
signed not to supplant but to sup
plement the highways of steel. The
question we are asking the United
States to consider is not whether we
will have waterways or railways
but whether we shall have water
ways and railways; one cannot in
jure the other, and while the cheap
est of all transportation is by water,
it has been said by one who knows
that the best thing that can happen
to any railway is to have a first
class navigable waterway paralleling
every mile of its tracks, Now TAX
ing it for granted that the develop
ment of waterways will work good
to all interests and harm to none,
let US turn our attention to some
things which must be accomplished
it that development is to be speed
lily brought about. We are about
to arrive at the completion of the
greatest engineering feat of modern
times-the Panama Canal. This
has been made possible by continu-
ing contract, thus the work has pro-
ceeded uninterruptedly. Now when
Congress will make it possible by
adequate appropriation to allow a
continuing contract to become of
the order of the day, in the work
upon the Cello Canal upon the
grand Columbia, so that the OPEN
ing of the Panama Canal will mean
not only waterway from ocean to
ocean and marvellous development
in the cities of Pasco, Kennewick,
White Bluffs, Hanford, Richland
and all the towns below, along this
noble river, but finally the upbuild-
ing of greater Inland Empire
then indeed we can feel that great
and lasting results have been &C
cOmplished. | believe that we must
labor early and late-yea, inces-
sanity for the continuance of an an
nual rivers and harbors bill, and
this can best be done by helping
with might and main, our National
Rivers and Harbors Congress. It
has already done wonderful work
and statistics show that in the six
years OF its work, as now composed.
appropriations for rivers and har.
bors exceed those of the preceding
seven years, by eighty-two millions
OF dollars. The policy that this
strong. vigorous body is recommend
ing. is policy of progress in do
mestic commerce which just means
American push and patriotism.
And let me say in closing that,
knowing so we'll the spirit of enter
prize and push of the citizens of
these two charming sister cities,
Pasco and Kennewick, 1 believe
they will leave no stone unturned but
will unite in strong, brotherly,
shoulder-to-shoulder effort to use
and strengthen our already logical
and natural situation on this noble
river to push this matter through
the proper channels to completion
and success in the near future. and
can promise for the ladies that
they will be ready. willing and only
waiting for the opportunity to help
In every possible way this mighty
movement, the open river. THANK
you.

novel AUTO RACE
Canton, o., Holds Unique Contest of
Cars Running on Starting
Device.

Since the automobile first attracted
attention Is years ago, it has been
entered in every form of race and
contest imaginable and expediency
could devise, but it remained for the
citizens of Canton, Ohio, to see a mo-
tor car contest that was positively
unique. The Canton event was for
cars propelled by their own self-start-
ers, no other power being used. The
conditions were normal, the cars run
ming with four adult passengers and
the course was little less than two
fifths of mile over the streets of
Canton.
There were five entrants, all Cadil.
lac cars, and all of them finished.
The contest is interesting, because it
was based on the employment of a
1912 device; it was unique because il
was the first ever held; and it was
significant because it proved the eff
ficiently of the cranking device which
was thus performing far more than
what it is intended to do.
/ The one thing an electric cranking
device is designed to do is to turn
over the engine while the car is stand
ing still-a thing that was necessary.
until this season, to do by hand. All
the device is there for is to start the
engine.
But in the case of the five Cadillac
cars in the test, the spark plugs and
the pet cocks were removed from the
engine itself and the cranking device
turned over the engine continuously
many thousands of times. 1t also
pulled the weight of the car itself and
the four passengers.
Anyone who had a self-starter on
his car was allowed to enter the test,
! but the only entrants were the five
Cadillac cars. The course was from
the public square to the garage of the
A. H. Wilson Motor Car Company.
about two-fifths of mile away. The
last two blocks were up grade with a
rise of about nine feet. One of the
cars had been driven about 1000 miles
and was given handicap of 80 feet,
but it finished first, rs feet ahead of
its nearest competitor. After all the
cars had come in, two we're left run
ming and the starter kept the engines
turning over one hour and Ia min
utes when they were arbitrarily
stopped.

 The exact amount we have not learned but figures do not bother us. the information that the appro- priation is equal to the total amount appropriated for this division for the past several years is sufficient.

ALASKA.

IL has been estimated by the geo. logical survey that Alaska mines pro- duced 22.s0O.0OO pounds of copper In 1911. This is by far the largest out put ever made by the territory and Is due to the beginning of production from the Copper River district and the increased output from the Prince William sound district. The Copper River railway was completed 10 the Bonanza mino and shipment of ore began in April and continued through the year There was also marked in- crease in output of the mines of the Prince William sound district.
