SEEING THE STREAMS
Gobb1ing up all the Power
Sites on Cascade Rivers
Monopoly Ahead.

A statement, on what seems to
be good authority, was made to
the TIMES this morning that large
portion of the power sites on the
North Santiam river haved passed
into private control. The inform
ant said: 'I know Of man who
has bean at work for a year in Sc
curing water rights and in purchas-
ing power sites with the result that
most of the North Santiam has
already gone into private hands.
The same influences l also know,
are at work on the South Santiam,
and on the Mckenzie. Whether
it is the same parties that are at
work on the two latter streams, I
do not know. That. however.
capitalists are gathering up every
available source of electrical power
supply, is certainty
The speaker is man who is tho
roughly posted in such matters.
and is never wild of statement
Whether the facts have connec.
ton with the purchase Of electric
light plants and the securing OF
franchises by single company all
over the valley, is not known. That
monopolization along these lines is
planned and now in process of
promotion is certain. There is
vast wealth in the mountain streams
and it is pity to see them pass in
! to private hands without one small
po. ton Of the usufruct going to the
people for whom the streams the for
ests, the mountains and ths lands
were created.
= But alas, asit was with our for
ests which have gone to the stuffed
rich, so it is apparently going to be
with the streams and their valuable
1 power.

WAS IN TOWN.
A State Office Candidate-His
Friends Claim his Nonli-
nation.

Claud Catch, of Salem, spent
yesterday among Corvallis friends.
He is candidate for the republican
nomination for secretary of State,
and according TO all accounts has
good lead over all competitors in
the race. His entire life of forty
odd years, with the exception of
three weeks at the beginning, has
been spent in Oregon. He was ed
ucsted at Willamette University,
where more than IS years ago he
was student along with R. ].
Nichols, Miles Starr, Mrs. Robert
Kyle, the writer and other present
residents of Benio county.
He has never held public Office,
though he lacked but two or three
votes of being named for congress
to succeed the late Thomas Tongue
when Hermann was nominated at
Eugene. These votes, it has long
been known to his friends, would
have been forthcoming if, behind
the scenes at the convention, he had
made certain promises. These
promises involved the sacrifice of a
principle and he thrust aside the
nomination rather than make them.
He was a square, straig htforward,
honest lad as school boy. and
such he has been as man, which
is the secret of his wide popularity
among those to whom he is person
ally known In all recent
elections he has made campaign
lspeeches in the interest of re,
publican candidates, a fact not true
of any of his competitors in the race
for the nomination.
Ciaud Catch is the only surviv.
ing son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. NJ.
Catch of Corvallis. He left this
morning for Southern Oregon.

Observations

The man who does not keep his ap-
pointments soon discovers he has no
appointments to keep.
There are some men who make it a
rule never to pay anybody except the
devil, and his account is always set
tied, frequently i'm advance
If we find ourselves in the Slough
of Despond let us make an effort to
get out of it, and there is no time like
to-day.
Every overdraft on the bank of Ma
ture must be paid with compound in
terest.
A rich man may be a poor man. and
Ia poor man may be a rich man. This
may seem paradoxieal. but the truth
generally does.
The man who starts life with great
expectations does not always set the
world on fire; it is the man who has
only his own exertions to depend upon
that makes his mark.
