CMC BEING PUSHED RAPIDLY Cost of Construction to Dite Only Little Mors Than 13.000 Line Is Certain to Be Big Pay ing Investment. The directors of the Clackamas Southern Railway Company, who have been working diligently for the past two months In de actual construction work on the road, concluded to ex hibit to tbe business men of Oregon City and some of the prominent farm ers living in the county, the work that they have accomplished, and In order to do that, most of the owners of automomlles In and around Oregon City, donated the services of their machines at 1:30 o'clock Friday, and took a merry party of more than fifty up the Abernethy to the grade and went over a large part of the completed road bed, It was the unanimous verdict of all who witnessed the construction work, that It was done In a good business like manner, and when the visitors were informed that all of the grading bad been accomplished which they viewed, and all tools, powder and the clearing of the right-of-way for fully one and one-half miles beyond the grades, and the total cost of every thing to date did not exceed $5488.00, they were very much surprised at the careful and economical methods pur sued by the board of directors. Money Used to Best Advantage. All of the visitors who viewed the work are well acquainted with the board of directors and know their business qualifications, and that alone is a guarantee to every investor that his money will be used to the best advantage in tbe actual construction work of the road. It has been carefully estimated that the road can be completed to Molalla for $150,000, under the present careful management, and that every dollar li vested in stock will be worth many times its present value when the road Is completed, and the directors and a large number of stockholder are re subscribing to the capital stock, as they are convinced that the building of this road Is one of the best and safest investments ever presented to the people of Clackamas County. One of the visitors made the state ment that he believed that an invest ment in the capital sock of the Clack amas Southern Railway Company, un der the present management, was first class, for the reason that there is no possibility of loss, as the directors have guaranteed that no floating in debtedness will be allowed, and as a result of that policy, the investment could not be jeopardized by a failure to pay luterest, as there would be no interest to pay. Team Work Progresses. The team work on the grade is pro gressing rapidly east of the Newell Creek canyon, but that part of the work was not visited by the large number of people who went out on the work Friday, as it was Impossible for them to cross the steep canyon with out great effort. The graders are also at work at Beaver Creek, coming toward Oregon City, and that work will progress very rapidly on account of the even con tour of the ground. It will not be many month's until the people of Clackamas County will be convinced that by pulling together they can ac complish what they have been want ing for more than twenty years. The citizens of Oregon City and that part of the country traversed by the line will be the ones most vitally benefited by the early completion of the road, for the reason that it will place In the Portland and other mar kets timber and other products of the value of more than a half mlllloa dollars each year from the Interior of the county, and the money received therefor will be scattered throughout Clackamas County, and every line of business will be greatly benefited. Road Will Pay From Start; The stockholders of this company are to be congratulated upon one fea ture of this enterprise, and this Is, the board of directors are not Issuing any watered stock, and every dollar's worth of stock outstanding represents actual cash paid; so when the road is completed, the outstanding stock, will represent the actual cash used In the construction of the road, and the dividends derived from the road's operation should be as great as the dividends derived from the stock Issued by the Sunrpter Valley road, and the reports filed in the Secre tary of State's office show that the Sumpter Valley road paid 400 Pr cent on Its capital stock for a period of eight years. In order to insure the early com pletion of this road, the board of di rector feel that the citizens of Clack amas County should come forward without solicitation and take from one to Ave shares of the capital stock, and In doing so, they are not giving away anything, but placing their money where it will bring handsome returns, Peophj Welcome Railroad. The people of Oregon City welcome the day when the vast belts of timber growing In tbe foot-hills near the Mo lalla Valley will begin to be cut and loaded upon the eara and shipped to the river below the falls at Oregon City, and the old sawmill located in the north part of town will begin to turn its wheels and manufacture into lumber some of the large forests which are now Inaccessible on account of the lack of railway transportation.
