STATE CAPITOL. Present Debt Should Be Paid Before Another Is Contracted. The question of the erection of a State Capitol Is again to be presented to the legislature. On this. It may be said, without contradiction from any source, that if the state possessed the necessary funds with which a suitable building could be constructed, no question would arise among members regarding the ur gency and the necessity of such action as would result in the early completion of a building to be devoted to state pur poses. But, the state does not possess these funds. It has no money not called for In the payment of obligations pre viously entered into. It is In honor bound to liquidate Its Indebtedness. This in debtedness Is even new far In excess of the NOO.OOO which is our legal limit. This excess is really an unauthorized and an Illegal liability which former Legislators have imposed upon the ratepayers. But, while technical illegal, every patriotic "Washlngtonian desires it paid to the last farthing. A moral responsibility rests upon us which with our people Is as binding vn a legal one. Interest upon this debt must also be paid. And, although interests payments have, for the time, been largely reduced. It certainly is In cumbent upon us to proceed with extreme caution in the creation of additional Il legal Indebtedness which must some day be paid to the last dollar. -The demands to be made upon this body for appropri ations for absolutely necessary purposes, which cannot be put oft or denied, will bo enormous. These engagements previ ously entered Into will call for far greater sums than have ever been appropriated In this state. Absolutely necessary ap propriations must be made; they cannot be refused. The state has from the General Govern ment a grant of 132,000 acres pf wild lands, donated for the purpose of aiding In the erection of public buildings at the Btate Capitol. But this donation Is un productive. It Is agreed that these lands cannot now be sold. Regarding their fu ture value, a great difference of opinion prevails. Much of this land. In Eastern "Washington, Is practically valueless. Some timber land In Western Washing ion Is said to bo valuable. It lies, how ever, for the most part, in. atpresent, inaccessible locations. The largest amount, 2G.OO0 acres. Is found within the 'Olympic reserve. In the foothills of the Olympic Mountains. The timber could only be obtained with great difficulty, which reduces Its present value to a nul lity. As the matter now stands, the state can only build by the creation of a debt, "the Interest upon which, at least, must Ibe paid by the taxpayers, from year to year. Eight years ago, when the value of Teal property in Washington was at least twice that of today, an attempt was made o build a costly and ornate State Capi tol. An appropriation was made from 'the Capitol Building fund" which had no existence Commissioners were ap pointed to servo at good salaries; plans procured and a foundation completed. The foundation was paid for by the Issuance of less than J1S.O0O in warrants. In all, Nearly $100,000, in warrants, have been Is sued, bearing 8 per cent interest These, with accruing Interest amount to some $150,000, and this amount is annually in creased by 5SC00, In Interest due. No dol lar of this issue has ever been paid, or is likely to be, very soon, at least, and the holders of these warrants are writ ing beseeching letters to the Executive asking that he recommend their payment "from the public .fund. Sooner or later these warrants, drawn upon a mock fund, must be paid. If the lands cannot bo sold. Eight years ago It was thought that they might become Immediately available, but that time appears now even farther away than then. Despite this specimen of Inefficient man agement, by which the commission has already incurred a liability of twice as much, for interest and "services" as Its foundation is worth. It is gravely pro proposed to proceed with the erection of a million dollar structure by making use of the same brilliant financial methods. In this manner, two millions, for "services" and Interest, could be readily "absorbed." But, adopting the views of even, the most rosy-hued optimist regarding the future value of the capital grant, it still must bo said that wild lands do not increase In value, while the property of the state, with the rapidity with which interest on money mounts up. All experience has shown that after public lands are sold to private Individuals, they sometimes be come valuable, not often before. Two years ago it was said that If a state capitol was Immediately desired, a proposition to purchase the Thuroton County Courthouse might be successfully managed. TbJa Is a beautiful building, centrally located, costing $150,000. The state holds. In the permanent school fund, $150,000 of Thurston County warrants. An exchange of paper might transfer the ti tle. One hundred thousand dollars, care full expended, would build an addition to the rear. In the same general stylo of architecture, containing comfortable quarters for the Btate Legislature. The whole matter of Capitol construc tion, which In the past has given rise to so many contentions, Is commended to your careful consideration. PUBLIC EXPOSITION. Benefits of State Representation Should, Be Studied. Duilcs the coming Summer the great Pan-American Exposition is to be held at Buffalo. N. Y. It Is to be a notable af fair. TIk advantages accruing from state representation will doubtless be eloquently eet forth by interested parties. These should be studied and carefully scruti nized. . During the Summer of 1903 there is to be held a Centennial Exhibition at SU Louis, Mo., of the wonderful advances made during the last century in the ter ritory comprised within the "Louisiana Purchase." bought from France by Presi dent Jefferson in 1S0S. Tou will probably be asked to take some preparatory steps In this matter during the present session of the Legislature. In 1305 our sister State of Oregon Is to noM. hi th6 City of Portland, a Centennial Exposition celebrating the "Lewis and Clark Expedition" of 1S85, Doubtless a kindly "resolution upon this matter would very much please our neighbors on the other side of the Columbia. REAPPORTIONMENT. Each. County Should Have at Least One Representative. One of the most perplexing questions you will have to deal with will arise from the' various and conflicting claims and In terests Involved In redistrlctlng the 'state for Legislative and Congressional pur poses. W.niout attempting to interfere, save In a strictly constitutional manner, with the peculiar province of the legisla tive department of government, I shall be permitted to observe that, In my opin ion, each organized county, wlthotit re gard to population, should be permitted to have at least one representative in the House of Representatives. To deprive the small counties of this privilege would cause some injustice and much ill feeling. In conclusion, I hope that the sessions of this body may be characterized by universal good feeling and an earnest at tempt to advance the welfare of our young and growing commonwealth, arid that the doings of the Seventh Legisla ture may redound to the honor and fame of the State of Washington. EAST SIDE AFFAIRS. Ground Broken for the First Department-Store Building-. The first work on the department-store A , NORTHERN PACIFIC WHECK V H M . t M M t H H H M building on Williams avenue, between Russell and Knott streets, to be erected by Georgo W. Bates, was done yesterday by the graders. The' brush and stumps were cleared and Contractor Peter Lynch started the scrapers to excavating for the basement. It was an Important event for Upper Alblna. Tho building will be two story, of brick and iron, 90x100, with a 10-foot concrete basement. It will be a modern structure, and the finest on the East Side. It will cost botwoen $15,003 and $20,000. This will be the first department store building to be put up on tho East Side. Assurances are given that A. B. Manley, who owns the corner quarter, Williams avenue and Knott street, will also put up a two-story structure on a modern plan. Death of a. Pioneer Woman.

This evening Is the time fixed for the mass meeting of the citizens of MontavlUa under the auspices of the MontavlUa Sub- Board of Trade at the Odd Fellows' Hall. As this is an Important meeting, a large attendance Is hoped for. Friday night there will be a general meeting of the residents of Central East Portland at the office of Justice Vreoland to take further measures to secure the completion of the proposed new Central schoolhouse. Work on the elevated road on Schuyler street, between Grand avenue and East Sixth street, has been resumed. About half the bridge was finished before the storm. A week of good, -weather " would enable the contractors' to complete the improvement of the entire street.

WRECKED SCHOONER REPORTED Steamer Robert Adamson Loadlns "Wheat for Callao The Flottbek Rescued Square-Rigger Outside Japanese Schooner Wrecked. The German steamship Eva arrived In at Astoria yesterday morning, and, after a detention of but five hours In Astoria, left up the river. She will reich Port land this forenoon, and on arrival will dock at Alblna wharf boat to discharge her Inward cargo. The Mllos, which reached Portland two days'ahead of her, is at Alaska dock discharging, and will finish today. According to advices from -co NEAR NORTH YAKIMA, SUNDAY MORNING, IN WHICH FIVE PERSONS WERE INJURED, NONE SERIOUSLY. M t M M t M M H M M M Astoria, the Eva sighted a derelict schooner floating bottom up off Gray's Harbor. It was impossible to identify the craft, but It is supposed to be a coasting lumber schooner. The Eva brings cargo from several of the Japan ese ports In addition to a fair amount from Hong Koug. She Is out something over 40 days from the latter port, and Is about 22 days ,from "Yokohama her last port of call. The report. that the Mllos would be turned over to the charterers of the Eva was lncorrecj, for, on leaving the employ of T. M. Stevens &" Co., after her pres ent outward trip, the1 vessel will sail for her home port InGermany. The presence i of two Oriental liners and one big wheat steamer In port gives employment to a large number of men along the front, In addition to the gangs which are employed in loading the sailing wheat fleet. WHEAT FOR CALLAO. Steamer Robert Adnmson Is Londlng a Big Cargo In This Port The British steamship Robert Adam son, now loading at Montgomery dock In this city, will have the distinction of carrying the first steamer cargo ever taken out of Portland for Callao. All of her cargo Is going aboard In four-bushel sacks, but is spite of their size, they are being hustled aboard fast enough to put her down In the water very rapidly. The river Is so high that It Is a diffi cult -matter to work fast on the vessel, but, with the aid of electric conveyors, she will probably be given about as quick dispatch as has ever been given a vessel of her size. The current in the river was so strong that it forced the steamer away from the dock so far yesterday that it was Impossible to work her for two or J three hours. THE FLOTTBEK SAFE. Rescued from Her Perilous Position by Tags Wanderer and Tacoma. Messrs. Kerr, Gilford & Co. last even ing received advices that the tugs Wan derer and Tacoma had succeeded in re leasing the Flottbek from her perilous position below Flattery rocks. A dis patch' received from Port Townsend ear- Her in the day read as follows: "The Holyoko reports a strong south- How Southern Pacific frain stopped on the south trestle of the bridge over the Willaimttc at Harrisburg Monday forenoon, one car spanning the crecX. west gale, and a tremendous sea oft Cape Flatter, which prevented the tugs dis patched to the assistance of the stranded vessel from reaching the scene of the disaster, and the captain says that so furious Is the gale and sea that It would be almost Impossible for anything to withstand Its force, and that if anything Is left of the unfortunate craft. It will be a miracle. It is his opinion that the ves sel has broken to pieces. Two tug3 are waiting for an opportunity to reach the scene, and will venture out as soon as the weather will permit.'' It will no doubt be quite 'a shock to the Tacoma papers that have been industri- ously circulating lies about the Columbia River to learn that while the powerful seagoing lugs were waiting for an "op portunity to venture out as soon as the "weather will permit," all kinds of craft, steam'and sail, were passing in and out of the Columbia River without difficulty. FLOTTBEK. RESCUED. German Ship Has Been Towed Into Port ToTrnsend. PORT TOWNSEND. Jan. 16. The Ger man ship Flottbek, which was reported as a probable wreck on the coast south of Cape Flattery this morning, has baen 'rescued, by two tugs, which, after abate ment of the storm,' succeeded in reaching her about 10 A. M. She Is now being towed here. The extent of the damage to the ship Is not known. Rescue of the Ship. SEATTLE, Jan. IS. The German ship Flottbek. which has been lying In a dan gerous position among the reefs off Cape Flattery, was rescued this morning by the tugs Wanderer and Tacoma. She was reported as passing Neah Bay In tow of tho tugs at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Great difficulty was experienced in extricating the distressed vessel from the rocks. The two tugs named and another, the Holyoke, made attempt after attempt to reach the ship Tuesday, but were baffled by a fu rious gale which was raging, the Holyoke eventually having an accident to her ma chinery and being compelled to return to Port Townsend. The storm having abated. . J H M M H --- the remaining tugs effected the rescue to day, The Flottbek's commander Is Cap tain Schomaker, a German. She was bound from Japan to Tacoma. SEATTLE-MANILA STEAMERS. Line to Be Established Also Regu lar" Service of Transports. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 16. The Colo nial Steamship Company, of New York and Seattle, announces the establishment of a line of freight steamers between Se attle and Manila with the first sailing some time In April. Three steamships will be. put on the route, and a regular monthly schedule Is to be arranged. A second line Is already being planned by the China Mutual Steamship Company. The Quartermaster's Department Is ar ranging for a regular service of immense transports from Seattle to Manila. The Samoa, a 10,000-ton ship, has been pur chased, and will arrive from Hong Kong within the next 00 days. Two other ships will also be put on the run. They will carry animals and supplies for the land forces In the Orient. Square-Rlggcr Outside. A three-masted ship was reported out side last evening, and will come in this morning. The stronger is probably the Cape Wrath, reported outside by the Scottish Hills, which arrived in Tuesday. The Cape Wrath was not much more than ten day? overdue, but the San Fran cisco reinsurance brokers were quoting as high as 55 per cent reinsurance on her, when she was .reported off the mouth of the river. Nothing has yet been heard of the other overdues, and matters are be ginning to look serious for some of them. The Rathdown Is undoubtedly lost, but strong hopes are entertained for a num ber of the others. DomcstiA nnd. Foreign Ports. ASTORIA, Jan. 16. Arrived in at 10:40 and left up at 3 P. "M.

SEEKS HEW ARRANGEMENT MOUNT SCOTT RAILWAY PLANS FOR RESUMPTION OF SERVICE. If the Effort Falls, the Property Will "Be Sold and the Corporation Dissolved. Unless a trafilc agreement or lease can be made for the operation of the Port land, Chicago & Mount Scott Railway. the line will be sold and the corporation dissolved. This was the decision of the stockholders at a special meeting at the office of George P. Lent, yesterday morn ing. G. G. Gammans, president of the company, occupied the chair, and 1544 ehares of the issue of 253 shares issued were represented. The following resolu tion was adopted: "Whereas, F. S. Morris, successor la Interest to the East Side Hallway Company In the agreement between said company and the Portland, Chicago & Mt. Scott Hallway Com pany, has violated said agreement and ceased to operate trains on the Mount Scott line, and said line is again in possession of this com pany; Resolved, By the stockholdenvof the Port land, Chicago & Mount Scott Hallway Com- kpany. In special meetlns duly convened, that the board of directors of this company be, and it Is hereby authorized And directed, to make such new traffic arrangement, or lease, or agreement of our line, with any person or cor poration as In the Judgment of said board will be for the best interests of the company, and at tho same time provide for tho payment of the debts of the company. And If a new lease, agreement or traffic arrangement for trains over the line cannot be made which la satisfactory to said board, the said board Is hereby authorized to sell all the property of this company, and out of the proceeds pay the debts of the company, and cause the balance of the money realized to be paid to the stock holders pro -rata, and the affairs of the com pany finally settled and this corporation dis solved. The Mount Scott Railway was Incor porated September 13, 1891, with a capital Of JCO.OOO, of which $25,325 was subscribed. The ljne cost the, amount raised by stock sales and $1400 additional. It extends from a junction with the Hawthorne avenue line, near Mount Tabor, to a point near the base of Mount Scott, a distance of 4,2 miles. The first train was run In July, 1S92, under an agreement with the East Side Railway Company, which furnished the rolling stock two motors, some pas senger cars and a few flat cars. The agreement provided that title to the road should pass to the East Side Railway Company after 15 years of operation. Dis continuance of service was to entail for feiture of all rights under this clause. Recently, the East Side Railway changed hands, and the service was withdrawn. Hence, the decision of the Mount Scott company to make a new arrangement or go out of business. The East Side Railway Company gave a 5-cent rate on commutation tickets to residents of tho Mount Scott country. Transients were charged 10 cents each way, or 15 cents for the round trip. The distance from Portland to the end of the line Is about 74 miles. The Eant Side Railway Company always asserted that it operated the line at a Icea. George P, Lent estimates that the pop ulation affected by the withdrawal of service from the Mount Scott line Is about 1000, There has been little Increase In the past seven or eight years, for the reason that the East Side Railway went Into the hands of a receiver seven years ago, and it has been only a question of time when the Mount Scott line might be abandoned. Therefore, there has been no encourage ment to build. Residents of the Mount Scott district now come Into the city by way of Wood stock and the City & Suburban line. A conveyance makes trips between Lents and Woodstock, a distance of 24 miles. The Portland, Chicago & Mount Scott Company has no negotiations pending, but as the resolutions passed yesterday indi cate, it hope3 for some agreement that will result In resumption of service. Many hope that the City & Suburban Company will take the road and build a connection from its terminus at Mount Tabor to the Hawthorne-avenue junction. The distance Is a quarter of a mile, and the grade' Is good. George P. Lent says the Mount Scott road is In fair condition, and that all it needs Is ?300 worth of new ties. BACK FROM HONOLULU. Hon. D. P. Thompson Regards the Climate Too Enervating. , Hon. D. P. Thompson returned from the Hawaiian Islands yesterday, after an absence of 40 days from Portland. He said he had a very pleasant trip, as the Pacific Ocean was smooth as a lake while he was on the water. He visited all the Islands In the group, and thinks that a fine country, but would not like to live thore. "At first," he said, "one Is de lighted with the beauties of the tropical Isles, as everything is growing with a luxuriance that reminds one of July or August In Oregon. This feeling wears off In a few days, however, and then a sen sation of languor comes over one, that Inclines him to lie down and res( all tho time. The climate Is hot and enervating, and a white man needs the stimulus of cold weather to keep him healthy and vigorous. "The Hawallans cannot be considered as fairly under the American Government yet, and so I do not know how they feel over the new transition. Their newly elected Legislature will meet next month and draft laws In conformity with their new allegiance." Mr. Thompson says he left Judge Steams and wife at Honolulu, and also Mrs. Flanders and two daughters. Theso will remain there while Winter Is on In the Northern clime. William Allen, form erly cashier In the Hotel Portland, is man aging the big hotel of Honolulu, but wishes he were back here, although do ing very well there In business. Mr. Thompson returned to San Francisco by the Australian steamer Mariposa, which touches at Hawaii on her voyage from Sydney. e i May Save Visllancia. HAVANA, Jan. 16.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1C The steam er Hong Kong Maru arrived here tcday from the Orient with a shipwrecked crew of Japanese aboard. On January 2, one day out-from Yokohama, the vessel sighted a ship dismantled, flying signals of distress. There was a heavy soa -running at the time, but Captain Filmer stopped his vessel, and rescued the eight men. who proved to be a pirty of Jan anese, commanded by Captain Adsuma. December 7. Captain Adsuma had sailed In the two-masted schooner Selsho Maru, of Wakaymaken, from Migaral, bound for Toklo. The vessel, which was loaded with lumber - and charcoal, was blown out to sea by a heavy typhoon, and dismasted On the 11th. For the baUnce of tho month, until rescued, they drifted about off the Japanese coast. When rescued they were down to their last sack of rice. Owing to the heavy sea. Captain Filmer was unable to Bet fire to the derelict, which Is a 150-ton boat. BUSINESS ITEMS. If Ilnby Is Cutting- Teeth.
