they lrove to Salem, arriving here at
about 2 30 o'clock and called a meeting
of the real state dealers of the elty
who gathered In H. D. Thlelsen's of

am especially interested in the Wil

written descriptive matter concerning
the Willamette Valley, on one side, and
a good detail map on, the other. We
are now planning to print 50.000 more,

All Water Power Rights on the Santiam
Bought Up by
NEGOTIATIONS ARE UNDER WAY
For the Purchase of J? H. Albert's Rights Which Is the
Key to the Sittration--The Columbia Northern
Said to Be the Parties Interested in Deal
The City and Suburban Railway
l Company Also Represented
, (From Wednesday's Dally.)
For several month? past negotiations
have tteen pending for the purchase of
certain valuable water power rights
upon the Santiam river, the only avail
able water power within a radius of
thirty miles of this city, and the way
the matter now stands all of the rights
on that river, which are of any value
whatever for ; development, save one,
have been bought up by representatives
of two or three large corporations, ami
as soon as this one remaining right Is
secured the key to all of the others,
the work " of developing, these great
powers will be begun, and it remains to
be seen whether they will be utilized
for the benefit of Salem industries or
not. . - - " i : .jt i i :r
Several months ago. the city council
took upj the matter of inJstigating the
feasibility of owning and operating the
city's own public utilities, such a a
water works plant, an electric light and
power plant, etc, and with that end in
view a committee was appointed, and a
fund was set aside for its disposal, for
the, purpose of viewing these same wa
ter power sites which were offered to
the city at that time at a wonderousjy
low figure, and to report upon the ad
visability of purchasing such as would
meet, with the city's needs according to
the plans outlined at that time.. ! This
Committee, accompanied by competent
surveyors, visited the sites as instruct
ed and returned a favorable report upon
the matter. It is understood, without
recommendation.. Since' that time, the
matter has died out entirely, so far, as
the city is concerned. ; ' :
In Ahe meantiie. however, while, the
city officials were doing a whole lot. of
talking and ? very little acting, ' scrne
large corporations 7 became Interested
In the matter, sent out their represent
atives -and now, when the situation-Is
sized up, it is found that every rtparlan
right, between Niagara and Mehama,
ernbraffhg every valuable power site tin
the Sa'flrMrn river, has been Txught'ljp,
save" rhaif1 owned by Mr J6hh '1I."'A1
bert, of this city, which Is- the W&jt
valuable -right of'alU and'so' located
that the value of all the rest' Is 'mater
ia iry-nrairiced by the -ownership of it.
Negoiraions are now pending, between
Mrv Albert' and the representatives bf
the ..corporations, ' for the purchase of
this right which will give, the owners
full and complete' control over all of
the available water power , eontinguous
to -Salem. This great" power is to be
developed In the near future and, t
said, to the great benefit of Salem- and
the country surrounding her. What

Corporations
water power will bring to Salem re
mains to be seen and, if the reportff
pended upon,1 the. tittle is not in the
very distant future. .
It Is not known exactly what particu
lar company is behind the transactions,
but it Is known that the parties who
are buying up the rights are all inter
ested in the Columbia Northern Com
pany, which operates a line of railroad
on the north site of the Columbia rtver
and has aspirations of entering into the
Interior of Oregon, also in the Crovrnj
Paper Company, of Oregon City, which
Is desirous of securing the timber hi
the Santiam country, and the City Afc
Suburban Railway ; Company,-, which
operates an electric line between Port j
land and Oregon, City, and 'has been
trying for years to extend its. lines to
Salem and other points in the valley.
The property which Mr. Allprt holds
Is situated right in the fork of the riv
er where the two porth forks of the
Santiam meet, and if in such a position
that he controls the most valuable site
for the development of the power. So
far the corporation have bought ev
erything aloc& the main north fork and"
can utilize tne power they already own
by building a flume from a point about
one-lialf rhile above the fork to a point!
about equl-distant" below, thus gaining
about a thirty-foot fall and capable of
developing at least 2500 horse power.
Nature has so provided on Ir. Albert's
property,5 ' however, that he will only
have o 'construct a flume for a short
distance and' obtain a fall of a Sou t fif
teen feet and a 1500 horse power. Of
course the corporations can go ahead
and develop their power without that
of Mr. Albert, and if a deal is not clos
ed between them -in a few days ' Mr.
Albert intends to grant them one-half
of 'the portion of the stream which he
controls and then, turn his attention to
the development of his'own power.
- IMs not definitely known what these
corporations intend do! n fro V with this
power, -as their ! repsesrinAitlves are
very conservative and T close-mouthed,
but.' from vrhat could be learned, it is a
pretty sure thing that an. electric gen-
erating plant will be rniiOflFed and rt
motor line built - from epnfrt ; to Sa -i
lem which will eventually be' extended
to connect with the City & Snbnrbun
line at Oregon City. -
This is considered to be the firsl step
toward the building bf electric lines all
through the valley, and mny years will
not have elapsed until all of the towns
around the country 'will be connected
directly with Siilem by motor lines and
Indirectly with Portland, which la the
prime object of the promoters.
considered this a gross insult the
young Republicans of Oregon,' and that
the day bad gone by when--any lodge,
church or other organization cVml-i
enter as a controlling factor In politics.
J-'urther, he said Hermann deserved
great honor, as he was not a native
son, and yet had brought forth brilliant
native sons. ;
The speakers brought out in a force
ful manner the issues at stake, and the
reasons why Ringer Hermann Fhould
and will be elected. ,
It Jvas announced! that the people of
Salem would soon be able to lis'en to
