of Salcm-Ponland Road
Uncovers Others.
WILL SPEND A MILLION
Manager Welch Authority for Story
or Road Building by New Company
Says Largest Power Plant
in the Northwest Will
Built at Walla
Walla.
Siuoe the exclusive announcement in
the Statesman of Sunday morning of
the projected. Portland-Salem inoter
.line by the syndicate which purchased
the Citizens' Light & Traction Cou
jpany property of this of, it has de
veloped that tbere is not only good
foundation for the story, but that the
magnitude of the project is much
greater that it. at first appeared to be.
in fact it inwws not only an electric
Jine between the Capital City and the
metropolis, but a perfect network of
lutcrurban railways throughout the
Arehwet. The stor which appeared
exclusively in the Statesman Sunday
has not only been confirmed by officials
high in the management of the local
system,, but also from other sources
which are considered first -class author
ities. Later developments prove that the
corporation -which is back of this great
scbemo is what is known as the Cyrus
Pierce Syndicate, which is connected
with the Rhodes, Sinkler & Butcher
Banking Company of Philadelphia, and
is one of the wealthiest syndicates in
tbe country. Messrs. Anderson, who is
manager of the syndicate's holding's,
fl'l Howard Hu'tcher, who are on their
ay to this city from Philadelphia, are
now in Spokane, where they hare re
cently taken over the electric lighting
and power system at that city, and,
after a visit to Walla Walla and Baker
City the will proceed to this poiut.
arriving some time next week. Upon
their arrival they will take up the
question of the proposed Portland-Sa-lew
, extension and will endeavor to
push it through to a successful termi
nation at the earliest date possible.
Although no confirmation or denial
eould be obtained, neither could an
definite information be secured, tnerc
is reason to believe that the syndicate
back of the project has already been
in the field and taken the preliminary
steps toward securing" the necessary
right-ofway privileges.
Will Spend Over Million Dollars, j
An article appeared in the Everting
Tcgram of Portland last evening,
which is in the main a confirmation of
the article which was published in the
Statesman. It added the statement
that the acquisition of the Walla Wal
la. plant by this syndicate carried with
it the expenditure of $230,000 for the
construction of one of the largest
power plants in the Northwest. When
aeen last evening by a. Statesman re
porter. Manager Welch, of the local
comjwny, confirmed this statement with
the correction that instead of $230,QKH
having been-expended, it, was nearer
330,000, and that he had visited and
p-iewed the great power system, after
completion. Further than this, Mr.
Welch states, upon authority, that -the
Kalem-Portland railway project means
the development of extensive water
power projects on the upier -Santiain,
aggregating 8,000 to . 10,000 horse
power in this county, which would en
tail the expenditure of over $300,000",
and, to complete the fwwer system and
railroad, combined, would necessitate
the expenditure of at least $1,500,000.
May Extend to Eugene.
Word also Comes from Portland to
the effect that Mr. I B. French, who
procured title to a right-of-way along
the Southern Pacific line between thin
city and Portland, with a view of con
structing such a railway, has not. given
) up the thought of carrying oiit his pro
poard project and that be will Sdti
matvTy do so, and within the : tune
limit alloweti-him under some of the
conditional grants of. right-of-way,
July 1 of this vear. When asked an to
what eflVet this would have upon bisJ
company' proposed road, Mr. Welch
stated that it would have no effect
whatever and that the road would be
constructed to Portland whether or no.
He was not at liberty '1o give out any
.details further than" thoe which . he
has already divulged and the arrival
of Messrs. Anderson and Butcher will
Lave to be awaited for further and
conclusive ''details of the arrangements.
Mr. Welch did . say, however, thai
the company bad some further exten
sions in view, but that he was hot at
liberty to give -out "anything conceru-
' ing them, ar they were as yet in their
Ihcipieney and publicity may operate
to put a stop to thenegotiations. He
predicts that the people -of Oregon, and
the Willamette valley" especially, arc
to witness a great revolutionizing pro
es in Hie matter of railroad 'building
. within fue" course of a! very few years.
He also Intimated thatf the Cyrus
Fierce Syndicate is considering the
matter of making a further, extension
of their Portland-Saleni line further
J- south,' possibly to Eugene, 1it these
fclaav too, were U a ratbef lianiature
and uncertain state and eould not be
depended upon to a certainty at this
tune.
The following is the article which
appeared la the Evening Telegram of
lasi evening, referred to above:
"Control of eleetrie plants ami eon
st met ion of eleetrie railroads connect
iaS up a Large section of the Inland
xrnpire, as wen as extending of bands
of steel and wire south of Portland, is
me apparent purpose of Philadelphia
capitalist who have recently acquired
the plant of the Salem Eleetrie Light
Company, I. W. Anderson ia the repre
sentative of the investors, chief among
whom is Dr. W.- W. iKeane, a famous
surgeon. THe corporate name is the
Cyrus Pieree syndicate.
" Acquisition of the eleetrie plants
at Walla Walla, Wash., where $230,000
has been expended the past year in
constructing one of the largest power
plants in the NortEwest was one of the
early propositions taken hold of " by
the investors. Pendleton, Baker. City
and Salem plants have been purchased,
ana mat an. xjo. uranue is soon to Do
acquired, according1 to reliable informa
tion received in Portland by parties
thoroughly familiar with the plans of
the syndicate.
Electric Lines Projected.
'BeEEd this acquisition of eleetrie
tower plants', with fbe franchises held
y present owners for municipal lizht-
iugt power -and other rights and privi
leges in the . various towns included in
the plans is the purpose to eonneet the
Inland Empire with the "open river at
points on the Snake, and also with the
Columbia at or year the point where
that stream forms' the junction with
the Oregon-Washington line.
"Electric plants at Lewiston, Idaho,
and Dayton, Wash., are among those
it is proposed to acquire, and the engi
neers of the corporation have been en
ifaged in ru Hiring preliminary surveys
for an electric railroad intended to
eonneet Lewiston, Dayton, Waitsburg,
Walla Walla and Athena on a direct
route to the Columbia river, Missing
through a country of very great agri
cultural possibilities and capable of
maintaining a "Targe population. Ex
tending in a southwesterly direction,
the main line of the proposed road will
terminate at Pendleton, with feeders
tappingrich sections that are at pres
ent without transportation facilities.
"Purchase of the electric plant at
Salem was quietTy effected without in
terested" persons realizing the intent of
the syndicate, and announcement by
Manager Welch tbat the smlieate pro
poes to build an electric road between
Portland and Salem came as an agree
able surprise to interested projerty
owners In the country that will .be
traversed.
Owns Boise Franchise.
"Among the first purchases of the
Cyrus Pieree syndicate was the elee
trie light and power plant at Boise an 1
the operations of the company con
templating large expenditures in eon
trolling current for all commercial and
domestic use in that -state as well as
large portions of Oregon aud Washing
ton. Wha may be contemplated in
that section in the way of railroad
building is another proposition that
has been shrouded in mystery beyond
occasional work of engineers who are
understood to represent the corpora
tion. ' -
"Evidence has not been lacking in
past acts of the agents of the syndi
cate that ample capital is behind the
management to carry to successful fru
ition the work that may be decided
upon. There is no better evidence of
this to be ad than the expenditure of
a quartet of a million at Walla Walla
in constructing the new power plant,
and in like expenditure making provi
sion for future needs at other -points.
Work Well Advanced.
"Surveys have Men run over t good
part ft be eastern Washington coun
try to be traversed. Heinrich Mel
ruantt was the first to father a scheme
for connefcung up these districts with
the' rails of an electric road, lie did
not euceeed in the undertaking, fcut it

inary work dome has been beneficially
utilized bv the Cyrus Pieree syndicate
in its later efforts to supply me conn
y with xapid transit. Line : have
been run, ,and in some portions of the
surveys it is stated that field notes
have been compiled ready for work of

EX-GOV. PEABODY.
Four Reports Are Presented All Put
off Becouse of Death of Senator Wal
cott Signers of Bill to Seat Peabody
Declare Right to Change Vote.
DENVER, March 2. Consideration
of The rejoi-ts of the committee which
heard the evidence in James II. Pea
bodv's contest for the 'office of Gov-
ernorvwas postponed today by the joint
convention oi the General Assembly,
iu eoueiieiie of the death of Edward
O. Walcott, former UniteS Slates Sen
ator from. Colorado. The General Assembly-
appointed a committee to
draft resolutions in memory of tbe late
Senator, and adjourned until 10 o'clock
tomorrow forenoon.
Four reports- were filed with ! Lieu
tenant Governor Jesfe A. McDonald by
the gubernatorial content committee to
be presented to the joint convention
of the General Assembly, which will de
cide after hearing arguments whether
or not Governor Alva Adams shall sur:
render his office to ex-Governor James
H. Peabody, who contested the election.
Fourteen Republican members of the
committee, a majority of one, finally
signed the report in favor of oust fug
Adams and seating I'eabody, wnicn was
prepared by counsel for Peabody, but
six of these committeemen, declared
they reserved the right to vote as they
see fit after hearing the arguments in
joint convention. They said they sunn
ed the report merely to get tne matter
before tbe Assembly.
At the final meeting of tbe commit
tee vesterday afternoon for considera
tion of the contest, the Peabody report
was siened bv thirteen members. One
of these, Representative C. E. Dugan,
of Montrose county, subsequently with
drew his signature, notifying Chairman
Griffith by letter that he had signed
"through misunderstanding."
Two other Republican members of the
committee, Senator Morton Alexander,
of Jefferson county, and Representative
Alfred Stewart, of Douglas county, who
refused to sign the report at the meet
ing yesterday, changed their minds
during the night and their signatures
were attached , to the majority report
when it was presented today. Senator
Alexander had previously filed a report
rn favor of declaring the election of
Governor null and void, creating a va-
canev to be filled by the lieutenant
Governor.! This method of solving the
difficulty received no support from the
other member f the committee. The
nine - Democratic members made a re
port reconimendihg tLe dismissal of the
Peabody iontest, because no case had
been made7 by the evidence.
The fourth report, which may prove
to be the most important, was prepared
br William II- Gnrfttn, or rippie
Creek, chairman of the committee, and
bears iu addition to his signature those
of Representatives J. A. Melntyre.- of
IVnver: C El Dunsan, of Montrose, and
J. B. Thompson, of Boulder, all of them
Republicans, t - .
This report , sets out that there was
shown to have been fraud in forty pre
cincts in Denver, which was not ojs
proved by Adams." However, it also
acts out that Adams proved by his evi
dence that sixty of the 04 precincts
attacked bv Peabody were free, from
f raod and that tbe election in them was
regular. .t t
On this account, the report eays,
Adams still has enough votes to give
bim good-stie plurality, and election.
The conclusions' are the same as those
of the" report submitted by the wnw-
cratte members or tne eoraroinee, imi

TALE OF BU IKCAfi'CEBATION
IN ST. PETERSBURG PRISON.
Says Absolute Silence of His - Jail
Hade Him Pessimistic Declares He
Is Innocent of Forming Any Secret
Society Officials Read His Letters.
NEW YORK, March 2. A dispateh
from Riga quotes Maxim Gorky at
some length on his experiences -since
his arrest January 24.
"The absolute silence enforced in
the prison was depressing," he said,
"and I became 'pessimistic, not
through 'personal fear, but through-anxiety
owing to ,. the impossibility ' ' of
learning what the' authorities might
do. t ' . I
"There were four days of this sus
pense, and then 1 was examined by
the assistant procurator, who showed
nie my manuscripts which the police
had seized. They contained a draft f
my project for national reforms and
an expression of my personal views
about the government. I learned then
that there were two accusations
against me. First, of forming a secret
soeiety; second, of possessing doeu
ments attacking the government. The
first charge is absolutely untrue, but I
expect to be tried on both charges.
"I never eneouraged any other
prisoners iu the fortress, and after a
time the authorities permitted visits
from Madame Gorky and my friend
Ilatnitttky. My friends outside sent
me warm clothing and other necessar
ies, anu tnje- were uuiy given ..me.
When I was permitted to see my wife,
there were double wire screens be
iwen us so we could not even shake
hands. ' '
"The officials read my letters, and
many were not transmitted because 1
had written humorouslv, wishing to
reassure mv friends, but the prison
authorities 'declared mv humor was
out of place and returned these letters.
"Before tbe acceptable letters were
allowed to leave the fortress, officials
drew a Irroad cross n them in eopper-
as, so as to bring out any invisible
writing."

her death. The . chemists announced
they had not concluded their investiga
tions and would' not be ready to report
before tomorow morning. It is prob
able that the Inquest will commence to

most of the investigators here is that
if there had been a crime' at all it was
committed in San Francisco and possi
bly at the same time strychnine is said
to have been placed in tbe mineral

San Francisco, March 2. The, police

This year's inaugural will be dis
tinguished from all others by reason
of the peculiarity of the ball. It will
scarcely be s lail for the reason that
tomorrow is Saturday and orders have
gone forth that the Pension lmilding,
in ' which this, feature of the day's

witnessing the swearing in of ice
President Fairbanks in . the Senate
cbamlter, he will himself take the oath
of office on the front esplanade of the
Capitol building. Then will follow nis
address.
Long hours before this time Penn
svlvanitf avenue will be lined with peo
ple, solid baoks of nirmanitv, awaiting
tbe passing of tbe President and bis
escort.. But this event is not the real
attraction. That is to come later.
when, after having taken tbe oath of
office, the President will begin bis
triumphal return to the White House.
It is then that tbe mighty pageantry
ill show itself to the nunoreu of
thousands gathered to assist in making
tbe event the most notable of its kmd
in the history of the country.
The oath or nice that will be taken
by Vice-President Fairbanks, and
which will be administered to him in
the Senate chamber by President Pro
Tempore rrye, will say: "IMo
emnly swear tbat I will sutiort and
defend the constitution of the United
States against all enemies, foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I take
this obligation freely, without any
mental reservation or purpose of eva-
siou, and that I will well and faith-
fullv discharge the duties of the office
on which I am about to enter, so help
me God."
Senator Frve will then retire after
having held the gavel for almost four
years as president of the Senate. Vice
President Fairbanks will then rap for
order for the Iteginning of the new
Congress, the Fifty-ninth, after which
Rev. Edward Everett-Hale, the chap
lain of the Senate, will open the new
session with prayer. Then will follow
the new official's address, of inaugura
tion, after which the oath of office wi!l
be administered to the new Sena t orb
who Wgin their public duties this year
for the nrst time.
Succeeding all this, will Come the
real event of the day, the induction of
Theodore Roosevelt into the office -of
chief executive of the United States.
This will take place on the east front
of the Capitol building. The oath of
office will be administered . by Chief
Justice Fuller, who will present a Bible
for the new President to aiss and on
which to lay bis band while reciting
the words of his sacred promise. A
chorus of 600 trained voices wilUthen
break forth into a patriotic hymn es
ecially prepared for the occasion. An
accompaniment to this grand song of
praise will lie the presidential salute of
21 guns from the Washington navy
yard.
The President's oath reads: "I do
solemnly swear that I . will faithfully
execute the Office of President of tb
United Htates, and will, to the best
of my ability, preserve, protect, and
defend the constitution of tbe United
States."
After the roar of cannon has ended,
and the cheers of the enthusiastic mul
titude have died away. President
Roosevelt will begin the delivery of his
inaugural address, which, it is exact
ed, will consume the best part of an
hour.
A swift .trip down the avenue to the
White House for the Presidential party
will follow. The procession will un
liinlter and will move on its eumlKur
ous way to tbe executive mansion,
where it will l reviewed by the Pres
ident anl suite. I.ieutenant-Genernl
Chaffee will lie grand marshal of the
parade, whose escort of honor will be
the Rough Riders in their khaki suits,
'recruited from many sources, and
Squadron A of New York.
Just bow long it will take the par
ade to pass a given point is problemati
cal, but it is estimated that it will
take at least three hours, and probably
more, j
The illumination of the city and the
display1 of fireworks will begin at T:;t
o'clock in the evening. The city will
be brilliantly lighted by tens of thou
sands of electric lamps. Searchlights
of immense power, situated on the top
of the Capitol ami the Washington
monument, will be trained on each

As for the grand ball, all there WTll
be to it, will be the grand march. This
will consume all the time that will 1m
lefu after the ceremonies of the day
and the stroke of the midnight bell.
Alice Roosevelt will, of course, be "the
belle of tbe ball" and all Washington
is speulating who will be. her fortunate
partner in tbe grand march.
On Monday there will be an echo of
