GOVERNOR W|THYCOMBE
ENTHUSES over OREGON
Says Columbia Highway Is
Finest In WOrld---CapitaI-
lists Afraid Of State

in his address at the public library
last evening, Governor Withycombe in
speaking of "0regon and Its Resourc-
es, placed especial stress on the en-
ormous amount Of horse power going
TO waste in the rivers and streams of
the state. He estimated that fully
100000 horse power was available in
Oregon and predicted that the time
would come when engineers would
harness this power to be used in the
developments of the industries Of tne
state.
From nm artistic standpoint and
that Of natural scenic beauty, the gov
ernor thought no state in the union
could equal Oregon and that from a
standpoint of health, none could com
pare.
Thanking J. j. Hill for the wonder.
full Columbia highway, the governor
stated that engineers had been sent to
Europe by Mr.. Hill to study the best
methods Of construction and from their
observations in the old world, the Col
.umbia highway had been made, and
now Europe had no highway that could
compare with it in beauty and general
artistic effect.
The governor felt assured that with.
in a short time Oregon would rank as
one Of the great states of t1e country,
.as here crops were assured, the William
ette valley was the greatest fruit sec
ton In the country, and the state had
the water power to develop its manu-.
features.
The only drawback TO the immediate
development Of the state was the un.
friendly feeling towards capital, he
said. In conversation with eastern cap
italists, while at tne San Francisco ex.
position he was told that eastern men
with money were not friendly towards
Oregon, as they were uncertain as to
what laws would be enacted by each
legislature that might be unfriendly to
capital "We should overcome this un.
friendly feeling" said the governor,
Gas we can develop the state only
with the aid Of eastern capital"
A special tribute was paid TO the
wonderful beauty Of the willamette
valley, its prosperity and the great fu-
ture in store for this part Of the state.

Achievements

If congress complies with the request
Of President Wilson to add 800 to the
