Wednesday mnrnine a delegation of Commercial Club members left for Portland, having an appointment witli Gen. Manager O’ Brien, of the 8. P. lly., at two F. M. of that day. They were W. A. Weddle, W.

Mr. O’ Brien was called upon at the ap|>ointcd hour, and gave the delega tion considerable of bis valuable time. He asked that complete and concise data regarding the present freight business from this point, and also prospective business be furnished him, and stated that he would send a man from hi* traffic department to assist in the matter when asked for. When this is completed, he will take the matter lip witli other officials, and see whet can be done toward securing n spur from West Htayton. Tiie delegation also called upon Guy : W. Talbot, manager of the Oregon j Electric. Mr. Talbot gave us the ! "glad hand,” hut stated that there was no use in talking to hitu about a line from their road into Htayton this year. Tiie plans for the work to be carried out by tiie Oregon Electric are laid for this year— building a spur from Wood- burn to West Woodburn, tiie exten- j sion of their Hillsboro line and work necessary to completing their line j from Salem to Portland will take all j theii time and attention. He told us there was positively no use in Btayton talking with him before next year. W e rode back to Salem on the Ore gon Electric, and the way the coun try along that line is being developed is wonderful. If the people of Stayton and vicinity knew what an electric line front this place to Salem would do for their territory, they would dig up tiie money and build a line them selves. behind him an excellent substitute in the Electric Light.
