E The present electric power gen erating station of the 'Portland Railway Light & Power company at Salem is to be replaced .with a modern 'plant having four times the capacity of the present plant. The P. R. It. & P. company has installed at present at its plant at Mill and Liberty streets electric generators driven by steam en gines haying a total capacity of 750 k. w. or 1000 h. p. These gen erators, engines and boilers are to be removed, the power plant build ling remodeled, and a modern steam turbine driven generator having a maximum capacity of 3000 k. w. or 4000 h. p. Is to be Installed, equipped with the nec essary boilers and other auxiliary equipment required to operate the turbine and generator. Due' to the rapid growth of Sa lt pn, the present plant has been outgrown, and the -i. R. L. & P. company in line with its policy of providing adequate service for its customers. Is installing this mod ern plant for the purpose of pro viding a relay or emergency ser vice in case the power should b'e .shut off from either one of the two transmission lines over which the power for Salem is ordinarily supplied. One of these transmission lines extends from the company's large hydro-electric plants near Estaca da on the Clackamas river, and comes to Salem via Beaver Creek, Molalla and Mt.Angel. The other transmission line supplies power from the hydro-electric plant of the company at Oregon City and also from the steam driven plants ia Portland. Occasionally, due . to farmers blasting stumps or to storms, one or sometimes both of these trans mission lines are out of commis sion temporarily. In such cases In the future this new power plant will be brought into service and supply the power required for Sa lem and the surrounding ' towns served by the P. R. L. & P, com pany. . - - W. H. Hamilton, division man ager for the company, states that it is their intention at present to have this steam turbine driven generator running 16 hours per day, from 6 o'clock in the mern- ing to 10 o'clock at night, carry ing a light load and prepared to carry a full load upon failure of power from the transmission lines The value of this new power plant Is approximately $170,000 and will consume from. 8 to 10 carloads per1 day of sawmill re fuse fuel when operating at its rated capacity.

(adv) THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON Mexican Paper Takes Rap at Promoters of Palmito del Verdi Taking a slap at alt Mexican and and" oil promotion' schemes, and paying 'particular attention to the sale of theJsle of Palmito del Verde, the Mexican Post, on Eng lish publication, published in Mexico City, Mexico, In its issue of April 23, issues a warning to all foreigners who would invest their coin in Mexican projects. "The trouble is," says the Mex ican Post, "that too many unfor tunates have been going ahead and many times buying 'a pis ln poke.' " ' !" "Mexico is being exploited In other countries, particularly In the United States, by fakirs of all kinds, the greatest specialty being land that never landed; land to' which the seller had no title even it it did exist, in fact, land like those in the old days, a standing Joke with the humorists of the United States years ago, 'in -the dull season. ? , Use Same Methods. "The same old methods are be ing used by individuals and 'com panies' to sell Mexican property co which the sellers have not the slightest right, to the unsuspect ing want to get rich quick public. "One case in point has its set ting in Salem, Oregon. "The fact is, many Salemitee purchased property on Palmito del Verde island, off the coast of Si mola, 45 miles south of Mazatlan, and a party which recently went io Investigate their holdings has returned somewhat disillusioned. The Isle was pictured as a modern Garden of Eden, a bit of paradise, where all investors had to do was jit In the shade,. fanned by cool breezes, hunt or fish, and enjoy the fabulous wealth that a boun tiful nature spilled in their laps. Something over $50,000' U. S. cy has keen paid out by folks in rialem for a bit of land In para dise. . ' The' Sad Awakening. "The excursionists found the soil of the island fertile, but only 300 or 400 acres of ,it slashed for clearing and only a fraction ol this under cultivation. ' There were no roads, Many crops couia be grown, .but there was no way to market the produce and little. If any, market. Nor are there any kind of improvements on the Is lands. There is an old hacienda The most pretentious of the build ings is adobe structure with three other single roo adobes nearby. There is a school house now used as a dwelling since there are neither teachers nor pupils on the island. The 'large colony of Call fornians' shown In promotion lit erature, was found conspicuous by its absence. Although the exploita tion of the island has' been under way for 10 years, only 10 families were found, and one of these was leaving when the excursionists ar rived, because it was broke. "The Salemite paid $30" U. S. cy per acre for the land. Land on the mainland was selling at from 30 cents per acre up, and the land as good if not better than any on the island for $5. The entire is land was offered for $2.50 per acre, it Is claimed, and it is ques tionable whether the promoters paid that much for it. "Title to the land is guaranteed by a trust company by some form of trust deed that gets around this country's constitutional provision requiring citizenship, it Is said Whether or not.lt will stand is problematical. The original title is by crown or government grant. More Misrepresentation. "There are no cows or milk or or butter on the Island and it is described as being covered by brush and forest and clearing will -be necessary for Its utilization. The water table as reported by settlers leaving there, is 12 feet below the surface and not four, as represented. Cocoanuts grow just as the prospectus said but the promoters did not add that they require eight years before bearing and 14 years before they became commercially profitable. There is a worthless scrub variety of ebony In the forest, but neither mahogany nor cedar as claimed. The Other Angle. "The following letter from one disillusioned investor, sets forth the other angle to the story: " your letter came to hand a few days ago and In reply thereto will say thaI know of no way to repay you fer the strong protec tion and true statements made by you regarding Mexican ventures It your letter could have reached here soma six or eight weeks ago, many a Salem person would have a larger capital today. " 'Of all who wrote to Mexico to investigate the island, for my self I elaim the honor of being the only Salemite receiving an an swer. " 'We, my parents and myself, have dropped the wonder Garden of Eden forever, but we fctill have a desire to visit your country some day. My father Is a retired farm er, not by any means wealthy, bus 'well-to-do.' We travel consider able and I am a former student of tbe University of Californi and unlike other girls, I am dia contented a.ai want a change lr. climate, scenery and life in gen eral, therefore I thought perhaps I might like Mexico, but I ant too vain to want to live In a plarr where I would be the only human being, as I fear I would be on th Island.

Mr. Rawlinrs and hi hflan will tfc at the Bligh theater today and tomorrow matinee and evening. out to be like the girl In the story book.' "Just another story," concludes the Mexican Post, "of 'Paradise Lost.' " CRAFTS DEFIANT Chicago, May 130. (By Asso ciated Press.)
