NEW RAILWAY FOR VALLEY IS ASSURED Oregon City, Via Beaver Creek, to Mount Angel Is Route Wow Covered. 25 MILES IN FIRST UNIT Portland Railway, Light & Power Company Makes Possible Immedi ate Resumption of 'Work on Road Owned by Farmers. Immediate completion of the Willam ette Valley Southern Railway, from Oregon City, via Beaver Creek. Mulino and Molalla to Mount Angel and the actual operation of the road before the end of the present year was as sured Thursday when the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company agreed to guarantee a $700,000 bond Issue necessary to finance the project. In consideration for this arrange ment the Willamette Valley Southern will purchase its electric power from the Portland railway and will inter change its traffic with that road at Oregon City. Early Issue to Be Redeemed. The Willamette Valley Southern al' ready has about seven miles of road completed. The remaining distance to Mount Angel is 25 miles. This can be built with the $700,000 accruing from the sale of the bonds. Under terms of a mortgage filed at Oregon City yesterday the road can be bonded for J3,000,000, but this entire Issue will not be sold.- An outstanding issue of $57,000 first mortgage bonds will be redeemed by the present issue eo that the entire new Issue will con sist of first Hen securities. The Con tinental and Commercial Trust & SaV' Ings Bank of Chicago is trustee for the bonds. They are being handled by Morris Brothers in Portland. The bonds will mature in 25 years and pay 6 per cent. They will be call able at 103 on any interest date by 60 days' advance notice. " Stock of the Willamette Valley Southern is held by farmers and other residents of the district to be served. Some large blocks also are held in Oregon City. P. M. Sift and Grant B. Dimick, both of Oregon City, are presi dent and secretary, respectively. The Portland company, it is understood, has not acquired any of the stock. Frank lin T. Griffith, president of the com pany, last night denied Intention of ac durinjr any of it. Mr. Griffith and C. M. Clark, chairman of the Portland Railway board, inspected "the prop erty last Tuesday. Stephen Carver and associates, who have promoted this line, also are pro jecting the Portland & Oregon City, which recently secured franchises for building a new line between those two points. President Griffith declares that his company does not propose to ac quire the Portland & Oregon City. As the money market now is offer ing ready cash at 4'4 and 6 per cent, it is believed that this 6 per cent bond Issue 'will command a substantial pre mium. Money will be available for Immediate work. Work: to Be Rushed. A small force of men now is em ployed on construction work. It is proposed to let a new contract and push the work with all possible speed through the favorable weather period this year. The road is projected to Mount An gel. No plans have been made for ac tivity beyond that point. "The line will open up a rich agri cultural district and will develop a section of the state that has needed development for many years," said President Griffith last night.

Gerardy Gives Concert BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. AS Adelina Patti is the greatest prima donna soprano of this gen eration, Kreisler the greatest violin- 1st, Jean Gerardy, the Belgian, is the greatest and most artistic 'cello virtuo so in the world today. We may sit in council upon all the 'cello players we have ever heard in recital and the consensus of opinion must be, if we are fair and honest about it, that Ger ardy Is the king of them all. Gerardy played in concert at the Heilig last night, and the programme had it "Jean Gerardy, violoncello virtu oso, in conjunction with Gabriel Ysaye, violinist, and Carl Bruchhausen, pian ist. Not so. It should have read. "Gerardy," assisted by Gabriel Ysaye and Carl Bruchhausen." Gerardy's playing was greeted with enthusiasm and he won an ovation, but young Ysaye, son of the eminent violinist, Eugene Ysaye, was out of his class. Gabriel Ysaye is an ordinary violinist. Ho is very nervous, self-conscious, ana was so ill at ease before the audience that most of the time he stood almost with his back to the audience and fiddled. We have violin players in Portland who are more artistic than Mr. Ysaye, the younger. He was down on the programme to play Kreisler's "Caprice Viennois," but wisely changed his mind, and pluyed "Havannaise" (Saint Saens). Mr. Bruchhausen is an accomplished pianist and he played with artistic finish. But Gerardy! He amply atoned for any slight disappointment he may have felt toward young Mr. Ysaye. The Gerardy 'cello tone is goregous spark ling, large and is so much of a poem that all 'cello playing from now on must be measured after the Gerardy 'cello tone. It was a pity. that Gerardy played from music sheets, the Beeth oven "Sonata in A Major," The rendi- Robert ' L. Stevens, Who Bas Withdrawn From Race for . ' Governor. tion was superb, but it left his audi ence cold, as his magnetism was hid den. But with the Boellman "Varia' tions" and also the Boccherini "Suite' the audience discovered Grardy for the first time and really sensed his artistic worth. Gerardy's recalls were many and his encores splendid, espe cially the popper "Gavotte," The concert was under the direction of Lois Steers-Wynn Com an. and an nouncement is made of the celebrated Flonzaley Quartet in concert April 27. COUNTY INCREASE SEEN CLERK: COFFEY SHOWS GAIN IJT FEBRUARY OF 504. DevrenKC Reported Only la Two Depart ments, Miscellaneous Fees and Recording" DtvlMion. Total receipts in County Clerk Cof fey's office during February, 1914, show an increase of $504.78 over the receipts In February, 1913, according to a com parative report completed yesterday by Deputy Erkins. In only two depart ments, the miscellaneous fees and the recording department, was there a der crease this year. The decrease in the miscellaneous fees is due to the decrease in the num ber of marriage licenses issued as a re sult of the medical examination re quired. The decrease of 55 marriage licenses, which would have netted the county $3 each, had they been issued, nearly offsets the decrease of $167.35 in the miscellaneous fees. The big de crease in the recording department Is caused by the decrease of 219 instru ments received for record and the de crease of 60 marginal releases.

March 20 The two officials and one employe of the Western Fuel Company who were re cently convicted of conspiracy to de fraud the Federal Government received prison sentences tonight from Judge Dooling. o'f the United States District Court. James B. Smith, vice-president and general manager, was sentenced to serve lVt years in San Quentin and to pay a fine of $5000; Fred C. Mills, superintendent, was also sentenced to lft years in San Quentin, and Edward H. Mayer, a weigher, was sentenced to a year in the Alameda County Jail. Judge Dooling sentenced Smith, Mills and Mayer immediately on his denial of & motion for a new trial, which was argued by counsel for both sides all afternoon. Mayer's sentence was originally 1 years in San Quentin, but Judge Dooling reconsidered it and made it one year in order that the con victed man might be sent to the Ala meda County Jail instead of the pen itentiary. A stay of execution of 20 days was granted the . defense, who will file a bill of exceptions with the court with in that time as the first step in an appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The arguments in the motion for a new trial were begun last Saturday by counsel for the defense and con tinued today. The defense tried to show that the trial jury had been in fluenced by newspaper articles in ar riving at its verdict of guilty and to that end produced affidavits from sev eral of the jurymen. The prosecution responded with counter affidavits from the same jury men to the effect that although the newspaper articles in question had been read, the jury had been under no influence other than the evidence adduced during the trial.

STEVENS QUITS RAGEFQHGQVERNOR Unexpected Business Calls As pirant for Republican Nom ination From State. ANNOUNCEMENT IS MADE Loyal Friends Are Thanked lor Ef forts in Ills Behalf and Return to Portland and Support of Party Is Promised. Unexpected pressure of important business is given as the cause for the withdrawal of Robert L. Stevens, three times Sheriff of Multnomah County and one of the foremost candidates for the Republican nomination for Gov ernor at the impending primaries. He announced bis withdrawal -from the gubernatorial race Thursday night. Mr. Stevens received a telegram at 4 o'clock yesterday requesting him to come to Detroit, Mich., immediately on business connected with an invention in which he is eavily interested. He left last night at 7:25 o'clock over the Northern Pacific. Before leaving he sent a formal statement to The Orego nian announcing his withdrawal. He will be absent probably for three or four weeks. ' The withdrawal of Mr. Stevens from trie race leaves eight aspirants in the field for the Republican nomination George C. Brownell, of Oregon City; Gus C. Moser, of Portland; A. M. Craw, ford, of Salem; Drv James Withycombe, of Corvallis; Grant B. Dimick, of Ore gon City; T. T. Geer. of Portland; Charles A. Johns, of Portland, and W. A. Carter. Friends Are Thanked. Mr. Stevens statement of with drawal follows: "I have been suddenly called Bast on an important business matter which could not be postponed and as I may be detained for three or four weeks at a period when my presence here would be of vital importance to my campaign, I have decided .ta with draw from the contest. It is a situa tion where I cannot properly attend to business and politics at the same time. I Sincerely regret that I am compelled to leave at this time when the loyal work of many friends throughout the state has assured my nomination beyond a doubt. To these kind friends, I can only say that I appreciate to the fullest extent the ardent, un selfish support they have given me and I trust that some time in some way I can reciprocate. "I will return to Portland as soon as I can arrange my business affairs and in the future as in the past will do what I can to contribute to the suc cess of the Republican party." R. L. Stevens is the largest stock- holder in the manufacture at Detroit, Mich., of a coin-paying machine named the "Payograph." The inventor of the machine is N. C. Oviatt, who for merly lived in Portland. The device has just been perfected after five years of study and expenditure, during which numerous patents were issued. Sale of Invention Planned. The factory for the manufacture of the payograph has been completed at Detroit and the manufacture of the machine begun. The company has been negotiating for some time for the sale of the Invention to an adding machine company and arrangements had been made for the culmination of the deal about June 1 this year. It Is thought by his friends that several adding machine companies are compet ing for the purchase of the invention. The telegram merely requested Mr. Stevens to come East immediately and he left in less than three hours. At tirst receipt of the news the ex-Sheriff decided that he would make a quick trip and return to continue his cam paign, but after deliberation he con cluded that he had too much at stake to hurry his trip. Furthermore he realized that he might be delayed in definitely and finally decided to with draw from the competition absolutely. The friends of the ex-Sheriff ex pressed regret that he felt compelled to step out of the race, but are not disposed to blame him in making his Feb. '14 Frh. '13 2 mos. '14, 2 mos.

MORE FACTORIES NEEDED Prosperity to Come, Is Statement, and It Is Put Vp to People to Alter Conditions and Get More Men on Farms. Portland's Industrial ills were dis cussed frankly and its commercial fu ture hopefully presented at the Com mercial Club Thursday night when the club and the Manufacturers' Association jointly tendered a complimentary ban quet to C. M. Clark, chairman of the board of the Portland Railway. Light &. Power Company, who is on his an nual visit to the city. Mr. Clark was tho principal speaker. While he frequently reminded his hear ru that he is not a pessimist, he an alyzed the present Industrial condition in" the city and the state in terms born of understanding and in language that left no doubt of the responsibility with which he charges the people of this community if they expect capital to aid m their further development. "Oregon now confronts the prospec-; tive investor with a tax rate higher i than . anywhere else in the United i States, with the possible exception of the State of Washington," Mr. Clark pointed out. Over-Development Charged. "Porllsmd and OreKon are over-de veloped in proportion to their popula tion," lie continued. "You have millions of dollars invest- ed in this state that are not earning a cent of Income. All this property must pay its proportion or. taxes, tnat is one reason the taxes are nign. He explained that the rortiana tta.il wav. Lieht & Power Company alone lias an aggregate investment of 110.000,000, in addition to its other investments, that is not earning a cent. "Why?" he asked. "Because we, with all the rest of this territory, have built ten ranidlv. We have based our de velopment upon what happened be tween 1905 and 1SUU. we expeciea that development to continue indefi nitely. That's why we pay such taxes. "And you people nave io cnange it. Brighter Light Pointed Ont. In contrast to these conditions Mr. Clark pointed to some brighter lights on the horizon, principal among which he enumerated the easier money mar ket, which now enables legitimate in vestors to borrow at 4 per cent, aud the prospective operation of the new currency law, which nils business men of the Kast with hope. The proposed anti-trust legislation has to be met yet, however, he remind ed the audience, and this fills the busi ness atmosphere with a certain degTee of uncertainty. "People have been working for the last few years on the theory that the railroads and public service corpora tions are not to make money," he said, "and the Legislatures and commissions have responded to that sentiment. If this condition is changed, if the future action of Congress Is not too radical, if Mexico eves ceases its turmoil, if Congress ever adjourns and, most im portant of all, if the railroads get their 5 per cent increase in freight rates, we ought to have prosperity. "Then it is up to you people to get men onto the farms and to secure fac tories. They go hand in hand. Keep your prices for farm land down to the lowest possible minimum." Mr. KlnRdley Totmanter. A.
