MultnOmah Delegates Find All
Kinds Of Fault With Salem
as Capital
CLAIM WATER IS UNFIT
Senator Bailey Introduces Bill to
Have State Fairgrounds Sold and
Another Site Purchased At Portland
or Near There.

STATEHoUSE, Salem, Or, Jan.
I25 The talked-oi movement to
transfer the seat Of government from
Salem to Portland is founded on
something frmer and more substan-
tial than josh. Now Senator Bailey
has introduced bill to have the
State Fairgrounds sold and land for
the State Fair bought at or near
Portland. Soon to come will be a
measure transferring the Asylum for
Insane II Is freely predicted that
should Bingham's resolution 10
change the capital from Salem to
Portland pass the senate il viii also
pass the house, and If once placed on
the ballot at the next election the
voters OF Multnomah county will see
that the seat Of government is shifted
north 50 miles.
Senator Baileys measure provides
that the State Board OF Agriculture
Shall also provide for an annual
fair or exhibition by the society Of all
the industries and industrial products
Of the state, at Portland, Multnomah
County. Oregon, and determine the
amount OF premiums" Further: The
said Board of Agriculture is hereby
also instructed to sell, at public or
private sale, all properties located in
Marion County, Oregon, which have
been acquired under the provisions
Of section 4l45, Chapter |, Bellinger
&Cotton's Code, and to acquire by
purchase or donation, lands in Multi
nomah County, Oregon, for the pur-
pose of carrying out the instructions
as set forth in section 4l3s as
Approximately $4,000 viii be ask
ed for the asylum of the legislature.
The members who have visited the
asylum this session do not consider 1t
a satisfactory building. The prevail
ent idea is that number of cottages
is better than one large institution,
but if there is to be an institution,
then a new and strictly modern
structure can be built for $4,000.
The city of Salem wants the state to
assist in the installation Of a new
water system, a system which will
bring mountain water to the town,
legislators, while admitting that the
water at the asylum is not all that it
should be and that some day an epi-
iemic of sickness will break out ow
ng to the water, contend that, in |
7iew Of the improvements and repairs |
needed at the old building and the
cost of sharing in a new water sys-
em for Salem, it is cheaper to bring
he asylum to water than water to
he asylum. The location of the
asylum is also criticised.
All these points are being discussed
n the Senate and House informally
lmong the members, and while every
wo years there is talk Of moving the
,apital to send chills up and down the
pine of the Marion county delega-
ion. this time the movement is more

BEEF LAWYER LEAVES.

CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-The United
States district attorneys who are
conducting the Investigation Of the
beef industry have manifested consid-
cradle interest in the discovery that
Edward Lundberg, an attorney asso-
ciated with the defense in the beef
trust investigation Of 1905 has sud
denly severed his connection with his
employers and left Chicago. For sew
eral years Lundberg had been en-
ployed by packing concerns. Il is
said he has gone to Portland, Or. The
district attorneys refused to say wheth-
er the Disappearance Of Lundberg has
any significance in the present inquiry
but it is probable that they will COM
municate with him at Portland. His
thorough knowledge Of the busiress
oi the packing concerns makes him
desirable as an expert witness.
