SURVEYORS ARE AT WORK LOCATING: HE TO DAYTON GONUEGTS WITH WEST SIDE T Plan Is to Electrify the West Side Road, With Which New Line Will Connect at Dayton and Also the Line From Sa lem to that PonP-Fails City Road Will Soon Begin Work on Willamette Bridge Here, and Will Build a Depot to Be Used By It and the New Dayton Line Jointly. IIEil ELECTRIC i WITH PORTLAriD' Information reaching here today tliat a crew of Southern Pacific sur veyors Is now engaged In making sur veys along the river between here Dayton, confirms a story printed exclusively In The Journal Beveral months ago to the effect that the Southern Pacific would build a line Irora here to Dayton, making connec tions there with the West Side line, nd giving It a route to Portland which will exceed In distance that of the Oregon Electric by only flv.e miles. The plan Is to electrify the West Side line, and also the, line to be built from here to connect with It at Day ton. The fact that the company Is hav ing some trouble In Portland relative to franchises in Portland, It Is stated, la deferring the electrifying of the line. By the time that these franchis ee are secured , however, It Is predict ed that the surveyors will have com pleted their work, and the company will be ready to begin construction work. Information received here today has It that the material for the" bridge to be built across the Willamette river by the Salem, Falls City & Western will soon arrive. This company, up on entering the city, will also build a depot, and It is understood that the Southern Pacific, of which It Is a branch, will share It with it for the line to be built down the river. From the same source conies the additional information that the Ore gon Electric Is active In the vicinity of Newberg, and that It has a crew of surveyors in the field. This Is taken as an Indication that this road Intends entering this territory and compete with the Southern Pacific for the traffic.

ALL BOARDS 1ST TURH OVER FUNGS Relying upon an opinion rendered by Attorney-General Crawford, State Treasurer Kay is making a demand on all the state boards to turn over to him all unexpended funds they may have In their possession.

The boards which have failed to ob serve the law, and which must now comply, are: Hoard of Pharmacy, the 8tate Hoard of Medical Kxamlners, the State Hoard of Kxamlners In Opto metry, the State Hoard to License Sailor Hoarding Houses, the State Hoard of Agriculture, the State Hoard of Kxamlners to Examine and Regis ter Graduate Nurses, and the State Hoard of Agriculture and Horticul ture.
