share of stock for sale, and those who are
In on the proposition are convinced that
they have one of the best things in Alas
ka. Mr. Kaln's sound judgment and his
great success in the northern country
have inspired his friends with confidence,
and they are much elated over their pros
pects. Dr. W. T. Williamson, of this city,
is president of the company, and John
A. Carson, an attorney of Salem, the
vice-president. Lewis Lochmond is sec
retary and John Rogers treasurer, both
of these officers also being from Salem.
Mr. Kaln left the city much disgusted
that Portland citizens did not grasp the
opportunity of controlling the big trade of
Alaska. He outlined the conditions ex
isting to several wholesalers and com
mercial bodies while here. but. as he ex
presses It. "They just sit around and
wait."
"The railroads which are building out of
Valdez and Seward are bound to control
all the Interior trade of Alaska," he said
"and tho people of that section would be
only too glad to buy from Portland If
given the opportunity. Supplies are cheap
er here than In Seattle, and the little dif
ference In time between the two cities and
our ports would amount to nothing. Fujly
)..& came out of Alaska the past
year, and 5H.W.W0 remained in Seattle.
Portland could have all of that she want
ed, but she evidently doesn't want any.
Railroads to Open Country.
"The railroads are being built to open
up the phenomenally rich copper belts
which already have a world-wide reputa
tion. When this ore Is brought down to
the coast by rail It is bound to come out
on vessels to some port, and why shouldn't
that port be this one? A smelter built
here, on the peninsula, for example, would
insure return cargoes of ore on every
vcyael that went up with supplies, and h.
regular and constantly Increasing trade
would Immediately be established.
"Another important matter is the set
tlement of the litigation over the Bonanza
copper Interests, which has excited such
widespread Interest. The United States
Supreme, Court settled the matter several
days ago In favor of the original locators.
This means the immediate development of
these rich properties, for there is unlim
ited capital behind the enterprise. This
litigation has heretofore retarded the de
velopment of that section, but now that
It Is satisfactorily settled, great results
may be expected. No part of Alaska is
so rich In minerals as the Valdez district,
and the next two years will work great
changes there."
Will Outfit in Valdez.
When asked where he was going to out
fit this season. Mr. Kaln replied: "Right
In Valdez. I came out with the intention
of buying all my supplies In Portland, but
the general apathy here Is not encourag
ing, to say the least, and the Seattle mer
chants charge us retail prices. As Jong
as I can do just as well in Valdez. I have
determined to patronize home merchants
until offered something better on the out
side, and many other miners and corpora
tions feci the same way."

Power Companies if Allowed to Do
So. TVIII Uirc So Much or the
AVntcr as to Destroy
Scenic Beauty.
The American Civic Association ig
making an active campaign against
the wholesale destruction of Niagara
Falls, one of the scenic beauties of
America, by power-developing compa
nies, which to the number of ten have
now authority to utilize n54 per cent
or 1,339.500 horse-power of the ef
fective power of the falls. It is the
judgment of engineers that these de
velopments, if fully utilized, will de
stroy the American falls, for the rea
son that but 12 per cent of the avorage
flow of Niagara passes over the 1060
feet of the American fall. Even if but
half of the nower unthnpiri
utilized tho American fall would dwin
dle into a mere trickle of water, and
the outlook Is alarming citizens inter
ested in the great scenic wonders of
America all over the country.
Preservation or Niagara.
The preservation of Niagara Falls
can be accomplished only by the com
bined action of the American and Can
adian Governments. President Roose
velt will make to Congress a strong
recommendation in his annual mes
sage, and has urged, both in the in
terview above mentioned and in let
ters, that facts, such as are above sub
mitted, should be presented in connec
tion with the remonstrances to the
Congressmen, so that they may act
promptly and decisively for the saving
of Niagara.
According to Charles M. Dow. presi
dent of the Board of Comlssioners of
the New York State Reservation at
Niagara, the Treaty of Ghent, which
fixed the boundary lines in the Niagara
River, "devolves upon the two Gov
ernments the moral dutv of protect
ing it." The State of New York has
Invested in the reservation at Niagara
Falls about $2,500,000. Quoting Mr.
Dow. 'Whatever impairs the value of
Niagara Falls as a spectacle Impairs
the value of that investment.'
The ordinance of 1787 recognizes tho
common Interest of all the states and
territories in the Niagara River, for It
recites that nil waters flowing into
the Mississippi and the St. Lawrence
Rivers ahd the carrying places be
tween shall be held as public high
ways forever free to the" people with
out impost of duty.
Earnest Appeal Sent Out.
Mrs. Rose Hoyt, president" of the
City Federation of Women's Clubs, has
had addressed to her by the American
Civic Association, of which she is a
member, an earnest appeal to awaken
local interest In the preservation of
this great wonder, and a suggestion
that the co-operation of the Senators
and Congressmen from this state be
enlisted. Mrs. Hoyt has written th?
Oregon delegation on the subject ani
received prompt replies promising all
aid possible in legislation to the de
sired end. The letter from the asso
ciation, which will be of interest to
all lovers of natural, beauties, follows:
Dear Madaai We as!c your prompt and
earnest co-operation, as a member of the
American Civic Association. In the work that
la being done to preserve Niagara Falls from
destruction by the power companies. Presi
dent Roosevelt declared himself most unmis
takably on this subject to the officers of the
association when they visited him November
11. He believes that, "as California haa given
a sreat grove of big trees to the Nation, so
New York should sire Niagara to the Nation;
but If New York does not do so. then the
American people must step In and preserve
Niagara."
The President has specifically permitted us
to say that he will make a strong recom
mendation on the preservation of Niagara In
his forthcoming annual message to Congrew.
"When asked what he could do to help, he
said, earnestly-. "Get as many intelligent per
sons and organisations as possible to write
to their Senators and Congressmen, urging
international action to save Niagara."
We. aak you. therefore, as an Individual, to
write at once t your two Senators and to
your Congressman, asking each of them, to
become interested In this matter. If possible;
secure similar action on the part of your
friends and neighbors, and also on the part
of organisations of various kinds, Including
your local business bodies.
You will also materially help by asking the
editors of your local papers to keep the salva
tion of Niagara constantly before their read
ers. A "cltpplnj sheet" will shortly bo sent
you. making suggestions. Kindly send to this
office copies of resolutions and newspaper
articles cn the subject. Very truly yours.
