of Loa Angeles la the admitted lobbyist
for he water powter Intcreata which
are endeavoring to prevent legislation
to protect the national power sltea from
' pausing Into the. possession of that
which will eventually be a central water
power trust. Mr. Short admits that ha
la here for the winter, but he thua da
fines- hla mission; ,' , :
i "To prevent the atatea from sur
rendering their constitutional rights aa
to power sites.
It la at last possibls to ahow by ths
activities of Mr. Bhort that tna ailega-
tiona of Gifford Plnchot aa to power
Itea are true. ' Mr. Plnchot alleged, not
that there la now a central power treat.
but that there are several large groups
of power interests, and that In these
days of drawing together of all Indus
trial' concerns- In centralised' control, l,t
la reasonable to assume that In due time
the power of the country will be sub
jected to the same process. ?
, The Group Short Represents.
Mr. Bhort, although scouting the Idea
of a power trust admits that, ne rep
resents the following:
- Ban Joaauln Power company, with
power on the Ban Joaquin river and In
central California; has about 100
horsepower developed.' and 25,000 in
nrocess of development. - . .
Sierra Nevada Power company of Loa
Angeles and Fresno, engaged In develop'
lng 300,000 horsepower In tho high
Sierra, public land region of. central
and southern California.
Kern River Power company of Los
Angeles, which has 800O horsepower
developed, carried 170 miles to Los
Ana-eles to operate street railways.
Paclfle Light A Power company of
v Los Angeles, described by Mr. Short,
as the parent company of this entire
group; In this the Huntlngtons are In
terested.
. Wall Street Connection.
. These corporations are all on the Pa
clfio coast; but it IS through the Cen
tral Colorado Power company of Denver
that Mr. Short Is shown to be connected
with the general power Interests con
trolled In Wall street. Mr. Short admits
that he Is here to represent; jointly
with O. B. Wilcox, of the Colorado con-
fjft I rjLIljLl IUB VvHII vr WUVVI iz an nvirn
to be a part of the general Wall street
group of power interests, and to ramify
Into practically all parts Of the country
thereby,, o , , .
Corporations' Change of Front.
, Jt is observed here that,, when first
broke out the demand for, state regu
lation of corporations -which give public
service, the representatives of those cor
porations demurred, and said the federal
government should perform that func
tion, srlvlntr as the reason that . there
were so many states that with each
one making a different statute of con
trol, corporations would be subjected to
Innumerable annoyances as they passed
from one state to another In interstate
commerce.
It wan then that Washington took
hold to a limited degree, and federal
control was substituted for state con
trol lii some instances. -; Now' in Wash
ington everyone hears exactly what Mr.
Short pleads as to power control that
the sacred rights of the states must not
be -interfered with.
Tha Kattla nv.r nn.r fxltpfl trill mi
ter around this pronouncement of Mr.
Short, and there will be resistance on
the ground of alleged desire to save
to the states their rights. i , ,
insidious Appeal to Democracy. J
' inose wno unaersiana wni cou
fairs political are taking In Washington
know there Is grave danger that in this
fight the Democratic minority will as
sist the power trust. The Democratic
i minority is pervaded with' this same
fear, lest the states' rights be invadud.
and today one hears more expressions
along that line than for years past. Most
have constituents in private concerns
which seek to get free from the gov
ernment, sites for development of power.
The Republican majority Is controlled
by ! men who are not In sympathy with
the" proposal to legislate against further
alienation of power sites now owned oy
thi federal government. , .
It Is claimed by well Informed men
here that only by the . operation of the
force of public sentiment on the mem
bers of congress can proper legislation
be procured this winter. The Roosevelt
following fs strong for such legislation.
This following is presumed to be Jarge
in e-very -section. - v ..
ii . People Must Bring Pressors.
- A senator from a western state, well
known to the readers of The Journal,
said
"If we get. the legislation we should
have on power matters, we will have to
get assistance , from the, people of the
country in' the form of pressure on their
representatives hers,. The. power lobby
is of tremendous potency. It attacks
members ' through their home business
and-banking interests, and operates In
of the devious ways known to such
lobbies. If the people want power legls
lation, let them get to work on their
msmharg In Krvf i firtitiAa T 4 tia J ems
they won'J get anything.'
.. Consolidation a Sara Tains;.
The General Electric. Westlnghouse,

on doubts, lined baskets of Christ
mas comfort waiting. -- The pleasure of
anticipation that-lighted their pinched
faces tnd the Interest preceding assured
square meals, where often the corners
of square meals are absent, was Indes
cribably pathetic, .."...:."...-."
But what would you do if you were
hungry? Would you not be glad for
food? .If you were cold would you not
want clothing and warmth! Or if you
were but a little one, born to know the
hard and rough things, would you not
be glad for the gutter, the tinsel, the
candy, the presents of a Christmas tree
and a Santa Claua attached?
The . Volunteers and the Salvation
army will provide Christmas comfort
for more than 600 families. Others have
planned help. Few families of the poor
will go unnoticed.
The baskets, too, were enough to
make one hungry Just to look at them.
Yellow legged chlekens, celery, apple.
oranges, prunes, coffee, tea, rolled oats.
Dreao, potatoes enough for ' many
square meals. . Meat was added to the
chickens for- large families. -.',
The children are not forgotten.-' Tho
Volunteers have a Christmas tree" for
them, three hundred of them, tonight.
And they have a unique Idea. It is to
give away several hundred pairs of
shoes and stockings furnished by special
arrangement with a - local merchant
One of the gifts to the Illy clothed
child will be a ticket entitling the
holder to two pairs of stockings, one
pair of shoes, and the merchant fits
both to the little feet. The Salvation
army has more children on its Christ,
mas tree list than can well be cared for
tonight. So the first tree is given to
night at Second and Morrison, the sec
ond tomorrow night at the . hall on
Davis street, the third by the Swedish
corps on Monday night.
Members of the organization asked
The Journal to extend a warm apprecia
tion to that composite Santa Claua
which is represented by the generosity
of Portland people who made Christ
mas for the poor possible by their do
nations,

A delay of an hour In the raising
of the curtain 'aryl an extra 1150 for
a special train to -get the company into
Portland, ' were incidents of the open
ing night of the production of .'"Father

at the Bungalow last night- The com
pany made the Jump from North Yak
ima, missed their train out of Tacoma,
and by taking a special train were
scheduled . to reach Portland at 4:15,
but unavoidable delays retarded the ar
rival until 6:30,
It was 8:30 before the' scenery had
all been brought into . the stage en
trance of the theatre, a fact that kept
the good natured audience waiting, and '
incidentally lowered the temperature )
In the theatre, and Interfered with the i
comfort of the auditors. However, in
the pleasure ' of the performance the
delay was speedily forgotten,, and gales
of laughter evidenced the satisfaction
of the audience.

a little .town in this county, north of
Salem, while endeavoring playfully to
hold up a friend. Slefert masked, en
tered the store of Ooff In & Miller, at

to hold up their hands. Before any.
one was aware or what fiad happened,
two bullets, were fired by J. J. Miller,

fect, one In the shoulder and the other
In the thigh.
Slefert was brought to . Salem and

"Do we want an army of deputy
sheriffs on. one side of the street, with
an army of police on the other, each
representing different factions of the
same political party at a state conven
tion, while Just inside the convention
hall ono faction Is pulling a United
States senator off ithe stage by his gray
whiskers?" L'i
In these vigorous terms Indignant
grangers at Hood River reply to an edi
tor who stirred them to wrath by up
holding In his article the assembly
scheme, the right of the granges to de
fend the primary law and direct lcglsla
tion. By unanimous vote. Pine Grove
grange, after a discussion of the editor
and his editorial, appointed a commit
tee to prepare a rejoinder, and the above
quoted phrase Is some of the interest
ing matter contained in thir reply.
The passage refers to a well known
incident In convention days in Oregon
when shotgun methods were Invoked
by the rival camps In the factionalism
that was rampant In the Republican
party. Tho reply of the grangers is so
Interesting that it is, in part, appended
below. The rejoinder Is directed at the
editor of the Hood River News, and It
appears in a recent issue of his paper,
In part It is as follows:
"Pine Grove Grange, Dec. 18. Editor
News By unanimous vote of Pine
Grove arrange we were instructed to
reply to your Issue of the 16th Inst.,
which criticises the action of some of
our grangers who have rightly con
demned the attempt of some of our
politicians in trying to override and
destroy both the Intent and the spirit
of our laws giving us direct nomina
tion and direct legislation. We "gran
gers are law abiding citlsens and do not
propose to alt Idly by and permit these
privileges to be misconstrued snd de
stroyed through such false statementa
to be used by the assemblyltes those
self constituted guardians of the pnople.
"You sssert that the lsrge part of our
range work is devoted to politics. Hsd
you said political economy, or the scl
oc of good government, you would
have told the truth. While our order
la composed of members who belong to
all political parties, yet we do not fal
ter when it corfiee to defending such
grand principles aa direct nomination
and direct legislation. You try to leave
the impression that w arc doing the
very same thins in our order thst we
deny sssemhlles the right to do. How
Ignorant you are of grange work. W
have long since stripped discussing
men and parties, but devote our ef
forts to - prinelplr and results. My
dear sir. In our order we many tlrnrs
vote our choice without even, a noml
nation and we never delr-arats oar fran

side the convention or assembly hall

past? No, Mr. Editor! We grangers,
whom you say are not doing the right
thing in fighting this assembly scheme,
do not want reenacted such disgraceful
scenes as these, and many more of
which we are all conversant. You say
we, have not Informed ourselves, from
an unbiased standpoint about the call
ing of these aBsembltes. Boali! Do you
desire to say in the language of Puck
'What fools these mortals be.' If you
would say so we would think better
of you. Now. Mr. Editor, perhaps you
need to be informed Just a little.
"Section 11 of our primary law says
'every such political party shall nomi
nate all its candidates for public of
fice under tho provisions of this law
and not In any other manner.' But you
say you favor the primary law. Why
not admit the truth, that you are op
posed to it, and that the assembly
scheme Is the flrBt step toward its de
struction. This you and the other sup
porters of this scheme would do. But
you fear the wrath of the people."
With all but tha specials In shape,
and with every prospect thst this sfter
noon will see the ribbons In these class
es distributed, the show of thto Oregon
Poultry & Put Stock association Ir. now
it its climax. The ribbons hive all
been distributed and the pens are today
in gala attire. The show vllk be open
all day Christmas day and chlllren are
to be admitted free on this dsy.
As sn outgrowth of, the display of
rats ntads at this year's show. It seem
thst a club of cat fanciers will be or
ajanlzed In the state this winter. C. D.
Mlnton, under whose direction the show
Is being given this year, has promised
the exhibitors that soon after the firs
of the year he will call a meeting of all
the prominent cat breeders and fanciers
In the state and that efforts will then
be made to start an association. Should
these efforts be successful It will mean
that next year will find two separate
and distinct shows glvtn, one for the
poultry and the other for the cats. The
cat exhibit thla year is a large one, yet
It is thought that with proper advertis
ing a much larger exhibit can be
formed. ' ,
Judging yesterday included every va
riety of cats in the show. Judge F. A

NEW LAW RETARDS
LAYING OF iVIAlNS
The , annual report of the Portland;
water department, which is Just, being
completed, shows that the number of
miles of new water main extensions. In-;
eluding all mains of four-Inch diameter
and larger, that have been laid during
the present year totaled ' 9.07. This'
shows a falling off in the extension of
the water distribution . system of mora,
than 60 per cent, as compared to tha
average net Increase of the past rive
years. , I, " ." -",
The decrease in the number of mains
laid Is ascribed to the new water law.
which took effect July 1, 1908. . Mayor
Simon has contended that the water
board Cannot carry out Its plans be-
cauf-e contractors are afraid, to bid
under the present law. This Is one of
the main reasons for the. calling of
special election by the city's executive.
