purpose of acquiring and controlling
the electrical power plants from lower

line, and developing the most stupen

"For wore -than- a year representatives)
Of powerful eastern , financial houses
have visited Portland. and other coast
cities, . keeping their identity covered
and laying' the foundation for the crea
tion -of the corporation and the begin
ning of active operations. The project
involves ultimately the acquisition of

employedwlth. Ktve Valkr earn.
and has lately been connected in varioua
capacities with the Clarka and Sellg
mans of Philadelphia, who are the
ownera of the 'Portland Railway com
pany. Mr. Brown appears to have at
tained high atandlng In the centers of
financial power on the Atlantic coast
and - Is said to be at work now with
othera on the details of the big elec
tric power scheme. -
According to ' reliable authority, the
corporation proposed la to ba named
either, the Western Development com-.1
p-ny ir the Western Power company.
The first tsngible demonstration of Its
existence will be the acquisition of
wster rights In the mountains along the
California-Nevada line, where are falls
and cataracts of practically unlimited po
tential electric energy. This power le to ba
carried to San Francisco by an elaborate
system of canals to convey the water

Fred S. Morris, treasurer of the Ore
gon Water Power Railway company,
said that he knew of these plans.. and
that apparently there waa reason to be
lieve that the interests behind the en
terpiine are abundantly able to float It.
Mr. Morris returned a few days ago '
from New Tork and Philadelphia. Whll
there he learned facta that warranted
him In giving full credence to the re
