CITY PUPILS TO AID JUVEN1 The bourd of iducation of the Ore Hon City schools Monday night au thorized City Superintendent Tooze to cooperate w ith County School Sup erintendent Gary in the work of hold- Ing juvenile fair in the district em-1 bracing Oregon City. Ijist year 10 Juvenile iuirs were held in different parts of the county for the purpose of emouraglni; the youth lu iudiis trlul work, and In some places these fairs were a great suce,ss. If possible the Oregon City schools will give an exhibit of work at the same lime the Juvenile fair Is held here. U la tentatively planned to show the work thut Is being done in the departments of manual training, domestic scienco and domestic art. Such an exhibit took place here two years ago and excited much favor able comment, being Inspected by hundreds of parents and school pa trons and others Interested lu'educa tionnl work. The school board disposed of a muss of routine work at Its regular meeting and discussed plans for beaulifylngTlhe school grounds.. It Is probable that the district board will work in conjunction with the city in its projects for systematizing the im provement of the various parks in Oregon City. P.L&LR.R.T0 S J c FOR RIGHT OF WAY Condemnation proceedings will probably have to be brought by the Portland, Eugene & Eastern Railroad Company against a few owners' of land bisected by its survey for the com pany's main line between Oswego and Oregon City. It l known thut the company has about exhausted Its pa tience in tryiug to arrive at an un derstanding wilh some of these prop erty owners as to the value of the ei rip necessary for the construction Oi the road. President Robert E. Strahorn, of the company admitted that the delay in contracting for the construction of the Portland-Salem link of the Immense system was due to the po sition taken by some owner of land, principally between Oswego and Ore gon City., and he admitted, too, that unless an early settlement can be ef fected the company will have to take the matter into court. While President Strahorn would not go Into details ai to the causes of the delays. It is understood that cer tain property owner who are In a position to profit most by the building of the line are holding tightset to the strip required for the right of way. Of course these some are said to have placed their lands on the market, and are heralding far and wide the bene fit that will follow from the build in of the road. At the same time they are aald to have been trying to ex tract every drop of blodd they possi bly can from the railroad company. In aome cases asking $".000 for a atrip that without the railroad would not be worth more than IjOO. It is readily agreed that without the prooUse of the rail transportation facilities there would have been no such Increase in land values aa in restlgatton reveals, and this notwith standing the company's right of way men are confronted with proposition that are anything but encouraging.
