PortIand's Weak Case.
(BOStOu TraUscriptD


POrtand's charge that Augusta 5
hotel accommodations are inadequate
is practically refuted by the statement
of a member of the House during the
debate Of the bill providing for d
referendum on the question of the re-
mOval of the capital to the Forest City.
He said in regard to the charges so
often made as to the poor fares and
high rates for board provided in Au-
susta that he had gained forty pounds
in weight during the last three months
and ii friend of his gained twenty
pounds. and they paid for board only
seven dollars a week. The average
man. whose salary as a member of the
Legislature is only about two dollars a
day is not looking for fine hotels so
much as for a place where he can pay
his bills and have a little of his $50
left to take home at the end of the scs-
sion. The Portland papers blame
Governor Cobb for defeating the bill,
but it is safe to say that if the House
had not killed it a majority of voters
would be against it if the question
should come before them. for sentiment
still lives in Maine. and there are
plenty of good boarding houses in Au-
SuSta.

Information From Architect Link,

o There is still another chapter to be
told in the little story of that million
dollar State House down in Missis-
sippi which the Portland boomers have
used as an illustration of the cheap
ness" with which capitols can be built
and as an argument for changing
the seat of government here in Maine.
The architect of that Mississippi State
House. Theo. c. Link of st. Louis. has
been heard from and the Portland Ex-
press is honest enough to publish his
letter in its columns although his
statements are exceedingly embarras-
sing to those who have been backing
Portlands cause.
He starts off by saying. Il do not be-
lieve the building referred to could now
be duplicated in Portland or anywhere
else for its original cost. which was
about sl,l90.600. Let us note right

here that the architect says that the
original cost of the Mississippi State
House was about $1.190OOO." In the
lying circulars with which the Port
land boomers have flooded the State
during the past two weeks they have
solemnly asserted that the total cost Of
the Mississippi State House was
81, 093,641. Thus we have the archi-
tect's word for it that the Mississippi
State House cost 500, 900 more than the
Portland people have been telling US
that it cost.
But this little error of 100000 is one
of the least of those in which the Port
land people have fallen. Let us quote
again from the letter of Architect Link.
He goes on to say, 81 think that a
building of the same dimensions and
construction will now cost about
81. 500, O0O" Here we have the archi-
tect himself declaring that the much
talked about million dollar State
House" in Mississippi could not now be
duplicated for less than s1,500.000.
This, too it is to be noted, provides
only for the same construction that
was used in Mississippi, that is, lime
stone. instead Of the much more ex-
pcnsive granite which would be used
here in Maine. Even the Portland
papers have admitted that the differ
ence in the cost of material would be
100000. OF course this is conservative
to put it mildly. Thus according to
the architects own figures which
Portland has to accept, this million
dollar State House" which has been
their chief illustration and example
could not now be duplicated here in
Maine for less than s1.6OOOOO, and on
top of this would have to be the cost of
the furnishings for the building.
So this million dollar State House"
which has been Portlands chief prop
grows very promptly into a two mill
lion dollar affair. That is. d two
million minimum, with an unknown
maximum. OF course, all this is of
little interest or Importance now that
the Portland crusade has resulted in
complete failure but it is referred to
as indicating the extent of the tricky
and deceitful measures to which the
Portland boomers resorted in their des-
perate attempt to befuddle and bam-
booZle the people of Maine.

Four roll-calls have been taken
in the Maine House of Representatives
upon the capital removal scheme. In
the first of these the majority against
the Portland proposition was eight and
on the fourth roll-call this majority
had grown to 20. This increase in the
strength of the opposition was natural
enough as the members of the House
heard from their constituents on the
subject. as they understood the uues-
ton more fully, and as they realized
more clearly the means to which the
Portland boomers were resorting. No
doubt it was also due in part to the
very bad spirit shown by the Portland
people as losers. The Portland
strength of the fourth roll-call, it will
be noted. was just about one-half that
which F"rtland had claimed, before the
matter came to an actual test. that it
could command in the House.
