'' . h When Power Start Work: Companies . ! - ' .J- 0 1 ' (8recIl'4l'1Pt t The JnurnH Vancouver. Wash., Jan. H. That a lively "scrap" is on between the two big corporations for exclusive ngui? i" 1 wis river is now certain. " That tha Northwest .Electric company, which . filed articles of Incorporation Monday, with a capital stock of $5,000,000, is de- ' terrolned cannot be doubted, and the Cascade Llgit & Power company, la corporated with 12.000,000, Is just as active. ' Both concerns have tha , same object 'in view and evidently the same ' field of action. Prominent attorneys and business ' men of Vancouver eay that If the Northwest Electric company Is bacWa by the Mount. Hood Railroad company of Portland it means business, , and its Invading this section "will be a boon to Clarke county. The company has filed n water rights and property hereto fore filed on by the Cascade Light Power company, and started condemna tion proceedings. It is the opinion of attorneys In Vancouver that Inasmuch as the object of the two companies Is ,; identical, .that of generating electric power, the Northwest Electric company will encounter a difficult task to oust the Cascade Light & Power company from Us moorings. It Is contended that the promoters of the Cascade Ufht & Power company have had the enterprise under contemplation . for i several years and have secretly '.worked out their plans for the construc tion of a power plant. It Is also claimed that the company holds options on the land for several miles hp the river from , Cresap's ferry. A large number of these options were : bought up by J. L. Charlton and were yesterday assigned to the Cascade com pany, the assignment being filed with the county auditor- for record. The claims filed by the Northwest Electric company are above those held v by the Cascade company, and whether or not the Northwest company can step in ahead will be a matter for the courts to decide, It Is claimed. " The taking over of the Charlton op tions yesterday , by fhe Cascade com pany is evidence that the company will ntand its grounds and strike out from the shoulder at the big concern which attempts to dispossess it. AUSTRALIA SEEKS MIAN Hopes to Divert to Victoria Settlers Needed on U. S. , Irrigated J Lands. V;V Australia is in competition with Ore gon for farm settlers and strong induce ments are being made to get people to cross the ocean to make their home In , the new continent. While It Is believed that Australia's advantages wllj not lure Oregonians to pull up stakes, it is realized that not a few perhaps plan ning to come to Oregon may take the great Journey unless Oregon continues vigorously its educational campaign, . showing, that much nearer home than across the big sea, the people of the pastern and middle states can find their golden opportunities. , Australia's campaign. It is pointed out,- should spur Oregon on to still more vigorous efforts towards attract ing desirable aettlers and it is pointed out that this could effectively be done by close cooperation between the rail roads, wagon road companies, land and Irrigation companies and holders of large tracts of land. This is what Australia Is doing: The government of Victoria has expended IU.000.000 on Irrigation and is now ad vertising in the United States and Qreat Britain for 30.000 farm settlers. It offers them 100,000 acres irrigated land at from S40 to $75 per acre. It allows payment to be distributed over 81 years, In half yearly Installments. These payments amount to per cent per annum of the capital value, being 4H per cent Interest and 1 Vi per cent towards the repayment of the capital -of 140 and $75 per acre. The settler may at any time pay off the whole or any"part of the principal and save the Charge for interest. It will loan to settlers cash money up to fiO per cent of the value of their Improvements effected, not exceeding , $260i. Such loan is to be repaid within i5 years at 5 per cent Interest. It will, . If dosiie.il, prepare and seed a portion of the settler's . holding so that imme diate returns may he obtained. The charge for water used in Irrigation is B0 cents per acre foot from July to November, and $1.25 from November till June. It will undertake to erect houses for the .settlers; payment for thesw, not exceeding $1260, will, If liecesRary, be extended over 15 years, the settlor paying for any excess cost! It has mad.,; arrangements to run low rata round trip excursions from America to Victoria; thus excursionists will be taken from America to Victoria and over the Irrigated districts, and taken back to America. Any excursionist who deckles to: settla will be refunded half the amount paid, for his excursion ticket. VEHICLE TAX OPilN A PUZZLE TO GRANT . ..The vehicle tax ordinance, declared!
