SINISTER SPIRITS LOSE
Heir to Millionaire Brewer Who
Lost Fight for Hand Iater,
Changes Name. ;
NEW YORK, Nov. 4. (special.)
Even as the little fairies in their
bower of mignonette and rhododen
drons, buckbrush and poison 'vy, en
gaged in their ecstatic business of
flitting hither and thither and oth
erwise moving briskly from, one
place to another, end up by trium
phantly fading away into the
wraiths of woodland magic, secure
from the machinations of the ogre
even as the little fairies flit con
, ventionally. thus, . so it was with
Count Edward George Zichy and his
countess.
For the Hungarian count of the
sibilant, liquidi eoda-fountain-sug-gestive
name and his bride, who was
Miss Charlotte Demarest, the beau
tiful New York society girl, daugh
ter of Warren Demarest, have lit
erally danced out of the difficulties
that beset them after their sensa
tional elopement last May. They
spent the summer in a fairly suc
cessful revenue-producing act in an
exclusive summer palace hotel at
Atlantic City and signed a contract
for an additional six weeks at $100
a week. Inasmuch a the troubles
that beset them at the time of their
elopement were, like most other
troubles of the world, the kind that
money could dispel, it is clearly to
be seen that they have danced away
from the ogres and other sinister
spirits that lurk where the wood
bine twines.
It will be recalled that Miss Dem
arest was to have been married to
the heir of the late Max Bernheim
er, millionaire brewer. Some weeks
before the date of the wedding tho
blithe, arden count entered as suit r.
.The Bernheimer scion, in order to
maintain his cause before the spir
ited wooing of the count, went so
far as to have his name changed
from Bernheimer to George Burton.
He alsof took a suite of rooms at the
Hotel Ambassador, two blocks from
the home of his fiancee, and at close
range attempted to hold his ground.
Scion Changes Name. :
Burton succeeded in having an
early date set for the wedd'ng and
daily appeals of the count failed to
change that plan until late on the
eve of the wedding. Then he ap
peared to make great headway. At
five minutes before 9 o'clock next
morning he rushed out of "the War
rington apartment hotel and shouted
to sonie of his friends in the lobby
there that he was "going to elope
at 9 o'clock."
The count jumped into a taxi and
sped away. A few hours later he
returned, still in a hurry, and showed
a marriage license, 'duly executed,
and rushed to his apartment to get
his baggage ready for a honeymoon
trip.
While all this swift action'was on
in New York, Burton, at Elbion, was
leisurely preparing for his wedding,
set for 6 o'clock that afternoon. -
Shortly before noon a man who
said he was the family physician for
the Demarests telephoned that he
had been requested to Inform Mr,
Burton of the change Miss Dema
rest had decided to make in her
plans.
Ogres Also Get Busy.
Then it was that the ogres got
busy to blight the count's chivalrie
victory. A judgment of $1063.24,
with all its unromatic citation of
whereases, and its boresome and
disgustingly realistic totaling of
monetary sums, was rendered against
the penniless peer, the damages
having resulted when the noble
man's car wrecked a taxicab in a
collision. Process servers, highly
active and ever persistent, flitted
along the honeymoon trail.
Then it was that the count and
countess arranged their dancing
act.. That their performance is sur
viving mere sensational notoriety
and has won on its merits in shown
by the fact that the 'couple made
their debut a few days ago on the
New York stage, at the Century
theater.
We are told by the critic that the
count danced .his native numbers
"with an invigorating sense of
abandon and zest which revealed an
unexpected ability on his part." The
countess also revealed sprightliness
and grace. A Hungarian czardas
and a French Apache number, to
gether with ballroom numbers,
showed their wide range of ability.
The orchestra was conducted by
Ladislav Kun of the Budapest royal
opera house.
The count and countess will dance
in Washington and Philadelphia
soon Count Zichy is the son of
Count Bela Zichy, who married an
American woman, Mrs. Mabel Wright
Yznaga.

PORTLANDERS ATTEND BIG
DAM OPENING AT COPCCX CAL.
Impressive Ceremonies as Gigantic Electrical Plant on Klamath
River Is Put in Commission.
BY ADDISON BENNETT.
SATURDAY afternoon, November
4, a party of 25 left Portland
on the Shasta Limited train
over the Southern Pacific, for Thrall,
Cal., the party going as guests of
the California-Oregon Power com
pany, a San Francisco corporation
that has been, for a number of
years, furnishing electrical energy
for various parts of upper Califor
nia and southern Oregon, their op
erations in this state reaching as
far north as Junction City. The
Copco plant, that the party was
going to see opened, is situated on
the JClamath river, about 14 miles
southeast of Thrall.
The Portland party consisted of
the following persons: J. D. Beebe
and J. Green, engineers of the Ore

Portland.
Mr. Thompson was our host, and
an admirable host he was. We had
a special Pullman car, the Pendle

fortably fill it. We got our meals
in the dining car and were in every
way treated very handsomely. .

when we were held up fpr three and
one-half hours, at Siskiyou, near the
summit of the mountain, owing to a
freight train derailment just south
of the tunnel at or near the summit.
It was but a trifling accident, but
the wrecking crew had to come from
Ashland. It took but a few minutes
to clear the track after the crew and
their machinery arrived. Anyhow,
we had a good opportunity to get
breakfast while we were waiting.
However, we missed a fine meal pre
pared for us-in a tent at Thrall,
where the San Francisco party ar
rived shortly after we were stopped
by the wreck. It was practically
noon wh'n we landed at Copco to
get a view of the great dam, but
the San Francisco party had been
there for several hours and was
just partaking of a fine lunch,
served by many young ladies. Where
they came from was a mystery.
It was .impossible for me to get
the names of the members of the
California party, for they were
mixed up with about 900 other
guests; but there were three car
loads, upwards of 70, in the party
from the south, the great majority
of whom came in automobiles, park
ing their cars on both sides of the
Klamath. A great many people
came from Yreka, Cal., and many
from the Klamath Falls country,
but perhaps the largest number
from one town were from Medford,
the Medford party being headed by
Judge William M. Colvig. He made
the principal speech of the day, as
I will tell later;
Wails at Dam SOU Feet High.
Now as to the dam, power house,
etc. The waters of the Klamath
river are arrested by a dam in a box
canyon, these walls being probably
800 feet high. The water is backed
up several miles, and the company
had to buy a number of small farms
that were submerged by the waters
of the lake, or reservoir. The dam is
132 feet high, that is, above the
river bed, and its length across the

river is 420 feet. The weight of the
reinforcement, or iron and steel, in
the dani is 1600 tons. The building
of the dam was somewhat facilitated
by the close proximity of basaltic
rock, which was quarried just be
low, and the sand was "made" by
grinding the refuse portions of rock.
The present capacity of the power
harnessed is 37,200 horse power, but
by raising the dam but a few feet
the energy will amount to nearly
60,000 horsejfpower.
In every way the dam, power
houses and the machinery installed
are first class. In fact, everything
being done by the company is first
class, as can be seen by viewing any
of their plants. Even the poles upon
which they string the wires to disr
tribute the electrical energy are so
complete that they will last for
more than 30 years. At the ground
end of the poles each cubic foot of
wood is saturated with six quarts
of ereosote.
Company Has Many Plants.
Do not understand thift this a new
company in this state. It is a Cali
fornia corporation, but for many
years they have been operating in
southern Oregon, with headquarters
at Medford, and one of their large
plants is near Prospect, which is on
the road from Medford to Crater
lake. That plant takes its water
from Rogue river, and the next ven
ture of the company will be to put
in on the Rogue, another plant as
large as the present one near Pros
pect. The plants now in operation
are as follows: One at Fall creek,
two miles below the Copco plant;
one at Copco, one at Klamath Falls.
one at Gold Ray, one at Prospect
ana one at Link river.
About 1901 a railroad was pro
jected from Thrall to Klamath Falls,
ostensibly a logging road. This road
was built for a distance of some 20
miles from Thrall, and then for some
reason it was stopped. It is a rather
good road, with good 60-pound steel,
standard gaug'e, but the grades
reach as high as 5 per cent. The
present electrical company bought
this road, and built switch-backs
from the main line down to the site
of the new dam, and all of the ma
terial used from outside has been
hauled over it by a big "galloping
goose" truck or car, using gasoline
for motive power. This road, which
the company paid $35,000 for, saved
much more than that sum in this
new construction. One item of the
hauling was 70 carloads, Southern
Pacific cars, and all of the steel used
for reinforcing, and every bit of
the machinery. In fact this aban
doned railroad proved to be of great
benefit to the electrical company.
We all, that is all of the San Fran
cisco and Portland excursionists,
came out and in aboard this "gallop
ing goose," the big truck having a
capacity of about 30 people. It
takes over an hour to make the 14
miles from Thrall to Copco and
about 35 minutes to go down from
Copco to Thrall.
Enprene Destination of Line.
The compaTy is now building a
transmission line from Copco to Eu
gene, a distance of 123 miles. Nearly
200 men are now at work on this
job in the clearing of right of way
alone. The line complete will cost
about $850,000. But this line will
not for long end at Eugene, the in
tention being to ultimately reach
Portland.
When the Portland party reached
the new plant and had eaten all
they could hold, a visit was made
to the dam and down to the power
plant below the dam. And it is quite
a stunt uTfollow a switch-back path
for about two miles to get down to
the power house. Once down there
one gets a fair idea of the immensity
of the work done. Soon after our
arrival, and in fact the arrival of
the entire crowd, fully 1000, prob
ably 1200, Messrs. McKee and Grant,
and a number of others, mounted
the stand erected and several
speeches were made, Messrs. McKee
and Grant going into details as to
the plans of the company, the cost
of the plant and other figures of
that sort. .
Jndse Colrlg, Medford, Talks.
The first speaker not connected
with the company was M. S. West,
president of the Klamath chamber
of commerce. He was followed by
Judge C. J. Luttrell of Yreka and
then came Judge W. M. Colvig of
Medford. Judge Colvig some 6!
years ago carrted the mail down the
Klamath river along, or very near,
the present railroad bought by the
company, on the way to Yreka from
Klamath Falls. So you may be sure
he made a fine and timely speech.
At all jtimes he is a fluent talker be
fore any audience on any subject,
but he quite outdid himself on this
occasion, and all of the Oregonians
were justly proud of him.

taking the "galloping goose" and
others automobiles, and after get

the mess tent running wide open by
the company, the Portland party
