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.

from Hong Koug. She Is out something
over 40 days from the latter port, and Is

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.

It will no doubt be quite 'a shock to the

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.
