SCORE ONE VICTORY FOR THE PLAIN PEOPLE. , . j (ES II II 111 1 V;!, In Order io Hide Its Big Profits From the .Consumers It Raised Number of Sliures, and -"Will Do So Again. Extortion by the Gas Graft has raised such a storm of popular wrath that the Graft will try to pacify the people by re ducing the rate from $ni5 si thousand feet to ?L As already pointed out by The Oregonian, even a ?1 rate will make a fat rake-off for the Gas Company, becau.- the cost of supplying the gas, as shown by expense figures from other cities, is less than half that price. The get-rich-quick graft has a greedy hold on the people of Portland and hopes that by giving up a trilling share of its profits it will be able to allay the popu lar Indignation. With this end in view, the company has issued a pamphlet, say ing: "It is confidently expected that durng this year a price of $1 a thousand feet will be made." Its Big Dividends. In the same pamphlet, the company as sorts that its- dividends arc a legitimate return on its capital stork, but its own llgures show that the dividends in the year just past were nearly 50 per cent larger than in the year preceding, and more than double the dividend of 1U03. The company makes no mention of prof its retained outside of dividends as sur plus, and refrains from explaining satis factorily why last year the capital stock was raised or "watered" $400,000 and why $250,000 more water is to be added next month, If not to afford a means of con cealing big profits. And there are other cunning tricks in tho pamphlet, made up to deceive an "easy" public According to the statement, the present Gas Company, created In 1901, has paid dividends on capital stock as follows: Dlv. Capital Ami. of I. C. Stock. Dlv. 3!02 n $ 700.000 $35,000 mos z, 700.000 :ir.,ooo J SolIJOO SI, 132 ISO.-; ti 1,250.000 75,000 In 190S the capital stock is to be raised to $1,500,000. Will Reduce Hate. Next month the company expects to have in operation new machinery In its plant, which it says will make possible a reduction to $1 a thousand. The com pany says that since its formation in 3001, it has expended $800,000 on its plant, "all of which Is represented by stock paid for in cash, at the rate of 100 cents on the dollar," without increasing the bonded debt, which four years ago amounted to $750,000. The company Is in better position than ever now that its plant Is about ready to make cheap gas, to amass big profits at the expense of consumers, not only by charging high rates but also by dilut ing the gas with air. ' s A favorite method of corporations that make big profits off the public, of con cealing their graft. Is that of increasing or "watering" their capital stock so that the heavy earnings can be disbursed in dividends. The gas company in 1904 paid $51,132 dividends and in 1905. $75,000, each time 6 per cent on capital stock.' Had not the company -raised its capital stock in 1903, it would have had to pay a divi dend of almost 9 per cent in order to disburse the $75,000 among its stock holders, a rate which would have sub jected the company to popular criticism. Consequently the gas company swelled its capital stock so as to keep down the dividend rate and hide its profits from the public. This method is pursued by public service corporations all over the United States, in order to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. Greediest of Grafts. All over the United States, sale of gas always has been one of the greediest of grafts. The graft has thrived conspicu ously on the Pacific Coast since oil came into use for manufacture of what Is called "water gas" the kind used In Portland because of the cheapness of the oil. The cost of gas to consumers has not diminished in the same amount as the cost of production to the manufac turers; consequently, the latter have been able to make big rake-offs. A man who lias engaged in tho manufacture of gas in a large city on the Pacific Coast in forms The Oregonian that in his city water gas could be made for between 40 and 50 cents, and that Portland should do it even cheaper, on accoun't of the cheaper price of oil in Portland. Another authority, also In the gas business, while declining to tell what the Portland com pany can make gas for. says that a $1 rate In Portland will afford ample profit. LEE YECK YEE PASSES AWAY Victim of Highbinder Dies at Good Samaritan Hospital. Lee Yock Yee. the Chinese merchant shot by Yon Hong, a highbinder. Wednes day night, died at 11 o'clock last night. All hopes for his recovery were given up by physicians yesterday, and last night he began to sink rapidly. Before he be came unconscious lie made a statement to detectives and to the District Attor ney, saying that he was shot by Yon Hong because he had married the lattcr's wife in San Francisco. Hong was taken to the hospital yesterday morning and was confronted by Lee Yee, who identi fied him as the one who had shot him. There is thought to be little truth in the dying statement of Lee Yee, and the fight is said to be the outgrowth of a tong war. Both men were members of warring tongs. Leo Yeck Yee was a member of the Hop Sing tong. and his assailant of the Jue Tong society. At the .hospital "Wednesday night efforts to conceal tho tong badge which Lee Ycck Yee wore were made, and a Chi nese who, was at the hospital was caught by Detective Resing taking, tho "badge from Yee's clothing. Resing now has the "badge in Ills possession. Membcrs'of Yee's tong have taken up the fight in the dying man's behalf, and have retained attorneys to prosecute Hong. Little Hope for Knoblock. One of the most peculiar cases brought to the Attention of the police and the hospital authorities for some time has developed at St Vincent's. Alex Knob lock a Swede, was asphyxiated by gas in a room at Sixth and Ankeny streets Wednesdav morning and was taken to the hospital unconscious. .Every effort was made to revive lhe man, but so far without success. He is in a state of coma, having remained so since taken from his room. It is thought that he will die without rogalalBg senses. ' I i. .. ... .4 GAS BILLS TOO HIGH Many East Side Residents Make Complaint. OVERCHARGES FREQUENT From $1.50 a Month One Man's Bill Jumps to $8.05 Consumers Threaten to Use Other Kinds of Illuminants. Complaints pour into the gas com pany's -counter in great numbers these troublesome days. The East Siders are having their innings, and they are af flicted in the same manner and vexed as sorely as their West Side brethren. High prices and poor quality are tnc basis of many of the complaints. "Have I any complaint to offer?" asked Jack Penny, of 302 East Morri son street. "Well, I should say I have I don't mind being taxed any price that is reasonable for anything I get. but when it comes to paying two prices for the use of gas I think it is time to balk. All the gas I use is burned In a single arc light, and heretofore the bill has never been over $4.50. and only once to my recollection did it reach that figure. Today I paid my bill and was politely invited to dig up $S.J." for the very same arc light. It is en tirely too much and such overcharges cannot be altogether the fault of tnc meters, for they are happening too frerjuently, and I do not intend to stand for it any longer. That gas arc light goes out darn quick." P. Feibler. of the Albina Gardens, at 3C0 Russell street, said: "These gas people want to get rich quick. I have not paid so much since I ran a bowl ing alley in connection with my place. Bowling was once quite the rage in Albina and I hud some alleys installed and they were liberally patronized, mostly during the evenings, which re quired several extra lignts. During all the time I conducted these alleys, my bill never reached the figure present ed me today. Of course I paid it, for whst can you do when they have the monopoly." John Graybehl, proprietor of the Denver Market. 230 Larrabee street: Clever Amateurs Stage "An Old Maids' Convention" in Trinity Parish-House i .. ..,. . rLASHUGHT PHOTOGRAPH OF CAST OF "OLD MAIDS' CONVENTION" AND INCIDENTALLY FRANK . RILEY. WHO APPEARED AS PROFESSOR ALPIIONSE DK FIIMX FLAM. BACHELORS of Portland who arc or ought to bo hunting for wives, lost a great opportunity unless they were present at Trinity parish-house last evening to watch the proceedings of "The Old Maids' Convention" assembled therein. Some, too, lost the chance of a jolly laugh at their own expense, for the "old maids" made very personal remarks about well-known bachelors about town. The parish-house was crowded, arid, from the moment the first old maid ap peared in the door and marched up to take her scat on the stage until the cur tain was finally "rung down," the au dience was In a convulsion of laughter. Each of the 20 old maids was arrayed in curious and truly remarkable fashion; dresses of every sort and date of style had been resurrected from nobody could guess where, bonnets to match them, reti cules, umbrellas. Jewelry, multi-colored plumes and fans and various articles of personal adornment had "been brought out from garret trunks and old band-boxes and the pretty girls of Portland who I cannot sec whore the much-advertised reduction of gas comes in. I have been a patron of the gas company for several years, and am in business and always pay my bills on the day they are due. Yesterday I called at the gas company to meet my bill, but on as certaining the amount with which I was assessed, I refused to pay the de mand. Upon considering the matter I found that I was helpless. According ly I shall return today in order to we what little I can by the rebate. My bill should be, if honestly rated, about $11, which amount I would read ily pay. but the exorbitant charge of nearly JIG is not within reason. I can not say that I approve of their mothod of reducing tho gas rate. S. D. Skollarens. of 133 Grand ave nue, made the following statement: "My bill was too high. Yes, much too high. I never paid such a price before. They tell me they are reducing the rate. If so 1 'should like to be shown tho system by which It Is figured a reduction." "You sabbe gas bill?" said Wing Le. a Chinese laundry keeper of tho East Side. "How muchce you pay? No sabe him." pointing to an advertisement of the company stating that gas consum ers would receive a reduction in the price. "No can tell about leductiou. Him all sumee big llaud. Mc taxec tlec dolla more as lust month. Alio samc hold-up man. No can tell," and tho puz zled son of Confucius ambled down Yamhill street, shaking his plgtailed head. "I am going to buy :l lamp." re marked a comely young matron to her neighbor, as she issued from the office of the gas company, "and use common lamps instead of this miserable gas. and I guess If a good many of us .lo the same thing the horrid company will soon take notice of our complaints." Vickory Takes to Flight. After paying money from his own pocket to go to Goldfield. Nov.. to cap ture R. E. Vickory. wanted In Portland on a charge of Issuing spurious chocks. Detective Joe Day arrived only to find that his man had escaped. Although he Is known to have issued bad checks to many persons the specific charge against him Is presenting a bad check to Frank Griffith for $21.25. Day left Portland Tuosday momihg arriving at Goldliekl yesterday at noon. Vickery is thought to have been In formed that a detective was after him. He escaped, but it is thought that he will be retaken before he is able to get out of the state. A telegram received from Deputy Sheriff C. J. Maher, of GoJdfield last night, said that although Vickory had gotten out of town he would un doubtedly be overtaken. Xo word was received from Day yesterday, but he Is expected to wire developments in the case today. i donned them were transformed into for 1 lorn flusters of uncertain age arI comi cal aspect. These spinsters, forming "Tho Old Maids Matrimonial Club," had met to discuss the best means of winning husbands for themselves. Josephine Jane Green (Mrs. A. S. Bar ker), the prerfdent, called the meeting o order and the secretary, Rosilla Abigail Hodge (Misvt Lulu Hall), read the names, each "sister" responding with an appro priate quotation concerning "Man." Re ports from the "lookout committee," the treasurer, the vigilance committee and others were read. The report of the last named committee elicited shrieks of laughter. It was presented in the guise of a stereotyped market report and gave the current valuation of bachelors In the Portland market. Among the quotations were tho following: William D. Wheelwright, fairly steady. Scott Brooke, looking up. John Ciirson, fluctuating. Fales Llnthicum, Immovable. J. Couch Plunder?, cornered. James Mc I. Wood, out of the market. Rodney GUs&s, nothing dolap. AT SEATTLE GETS JlOXOltS FOU BARRED PLYMOUTH KOCIvS. Anions Pigeon Fanciers Prizes Arc Well Divided Between Xnnahno, B. C, and Oakland, Cal.

The president then stated that Professor Al phonsc dc Phllm Phlam had promised to be present and show his wonderful new machine called the "Electric Transform Her." Here the professor (Frank B. Riley) entered and his machine, a tall, black box. with a door and without a top. was brought in. He explained that If a "sister" entered tho machine sho could come forth again In a few min utes changed In whatever way she might desire. The one needful thing was that each sister before entering should state her exact age.

Replying to a woolen manufacturer or Wisconsin, who was seeking Information relative to the establishment of a wooien mill hereabouts. Mayor Lane yesterday advised his Interrogator to moke this state a visit and investigate conditions on his own account. "However."" said the Mayor. "I do not think an one thoroughly understanding the manufacture of woolen goods would make a mistake In locating here, as Ore gon is rated about the fourth state In the Union In the production of wool, having an output last year of something over 20.OCO.000 pounds, and perhnps you know as well as I can say the reputation of our wools In the markets: especially Willam ette Valley wools, with Its fine Quality, long staple and light shrinkage. Eastern Oregon wools are of a very tine quality." but possessed of a somewhat heavier shrinkage. "Only about 2.0CO.C00 pounds of this wool was scoured and made into cloth and clothing in this state, the rest having been shipped East, there manufactured, and a Iart of the product returned to this mar ket. There are .probably, ten mills in the slate which handled the 2.C00.C0O pounds used here last year. For woolen mill purposes the water of the Willamette Val ley is generally conceded to Ik? equal to the water of the famous Stroud Valley, in England. "Mills In this state nave the advantage of first choice in the selection of raw material, while our soft waters arc tho best In the world for washing purposes. The bulk of the product shipped East, however, goes there unscoured." New York. Except for the laying- of the lam stone of the spillway coping, the work on the new Croton dam Is finished.

After the play there was a dance in which' all the old maids took part - Fifty Million Capital Will Develop Four Hundred Thousand Horse Power for Sacramento Val ley and San Francisco. A vast syndicate, financed at the pres ent time with a capital stock, of practical ly 550.000.000. and formed to harness the waters of the Feather River, in Northern California, lead them through tunnels and runways and convert their energy into an electric current of 40O.C0O horsepower, is announced by Frank I Brown, of San Francisco, now at the Portland. The, stupendous nature of the project can hardly be grasped by the Western mind, until It Is known that the power from the monster stations will eventually run the railways, light the towns and turn factory wheels of all the towns in the Sacramento Valley, -and the cities around the Bay of San Francisco. But of more interest to Oregon people Is the announcement made by Mr. Brown and Marsden Manson, a famous engineer, of San Francisco, now with Mr. Brown, that, the California project is only the nucleus of a vast chain of similar projects reaching through Oregon and Washing ton, and backed by an approximate capi tal of $100,000,000. for the development of the hydro-electric powers of the North west States. The Oregon Project. Plans are not as yet far enough ad vanced to make definite announcement of the Oregon projects, but the develop ments of the future hold great promise for the state. According to the statement made by Mr. Brown and Mr. Manson. a syndicate backed by great financial powers of New York, has after two years of effort been able to form the Feather River power project. Brown. Wilson & Co., of New York and San Francisco, is the company name back of the actlvo management of the construction, but with them are asso ciated Frank II. Ray, Edwin Hawley, Al fred C. Bedford, all of New York, and all powers in the financial world. It ts the plan of the company to con struct a reservoir covering 30,000 acres at Big Meadows, near the headwaters of the Feather River. From here the stored waters of the river will be taken to Big Butte, into a smaller reservoir, and from this will drop 2000 feet, through an under ground tunnel, and will be led into the famous Big Bend tunnel, which was built by Dr. R. V. Pierce, at an expense of $1,123,000. By means of this great project it will be possible to generate approxlmately 400.000 horsepower, or more than three times the power furnished by the famous plant at Niagara Falls. History or the Tunnel. The history of the project Is an Inter esting one. More than 20' years ago Dr. R. V. Pierce, discoverer of a well-known patent medicine. In association with oth ers, spent $1,123,000 In the construction of a tunnel 12.000 feet long. 16 feet high and 13 feet wide, at what Is known as Big Bend, a place where the Feather River, after running 13 miles around a mountain and falling 600 feet, comes back to within 12.C00 feet of the upper bed on the other side of the mountain. The purpose of the tunnel was to dry the 13 miles of river bed for gold mining purposes, but the workers found the bed formed of boulders so huge that no progress could bo made and the tunnel was abandoned. From Big Meadows to the tunnel is a drop of 2000 feet, and this will be utilized In generating the great power contem plated. This project Is at the head of the Sacra mento Valley, and will furnish power to this valley and to San Francisco by means of two pole transmission lines, 175 miles in length, so arranged that in case of acci dent to one an automatic switch will throw the current to the other. The projected line of the Western Pa cific runs parallel with the power system from the lower tunnel practically to the Big Meadows, where the reservoir will be. It is expected that power, light and heat will be furnished by the new company to all the new towns which will follow the railroad into the valley. Work will be started on the project Immediately, all property rights having been settled. This, so It is stated by Mr. Brown and Mr. Manson, will be the nucleus of a Pacific Coast line of power stations, which will be built in the near future to develop the untold water power of Oregon and Washington. Mr. Brown will leave tonight for the East in the Interest of his construction work. Seeks to Obtain Reconveyance. E. Warren seeks to obtain a reconvey ance to him by Catherine E. Warren, re siding at The Elms. Mllverton. Somer setshire. England, of property in Kinzel Park, which, he says, he conveyed to her as trustee. January 29. 1905.
