Smith's Hands Burned
By (Current.
Walter D. Smith, the well known
lineman with the.Paclflc telephone ex
change, In this city, had a close call
from being electrocuted last
Tuesday morning. He climbed a pole
at the west end of the suspension
bridge to make some repairs on the
line at that point, and in the course
of his work he undertook to move a
piece of dead wire cable, which was
wound around the pole. By some
means, the cable had got In contact
'with the electric car wire, which was
charged with about COO volts of the
electric current, and Mr. Smith, on
touching the cable, received the full
voltage, his hand being severely burn
ed as a result. The shock caused him
to fall to the hand rail of the bridge.
Had ho sot taken the precaution to
secure himself to the pole with his
safety belt, before he started to work,
he would have been precipitated to
the ground on the river bank 100 feet
below.

MOLALLA ROAD
NOW ASSURED
Articles of Incorporation will
be Filed for Clackamas
Southern Ry. Co.
SWIFT IS STOCKHOLDER
Electric Line ill Extend to
Scotts Mills and will Pen
etrate Rich Region
Attorney O. D. Eby returned to this
city, on Wednesday, from Molalla,
where he was summoned on Monday,
to attend a meeting of solid progres
sive public-spirited men of that city
and vicinity, held yesterday, for the
purpose of organizing a company to
build and operate an electric railway
line from Oregon City to Scott's Mills.
F. M. Swift, the well-known pro
moter of Portland, was present and
addressed the meeting, outlining the
plan of operating, and the route of
the proposed road. Among the prom
inent residents of the Molalla coun
try present were, J. R. Cole, George
B. Adams, Oliver Robins, H. A. Tay
lor, T. S. Stlpp, P. L. Schmale and
Silas Wright.
It was decided to incorporate and
to capitalize the company Into 10,000
shares of $100 each. The road will
he known as the Clackamas Southern
Railway.
The new road will open up a new
rich country for development and in
dustries. It will be about thirty miles
in length, and will tap rich mining,
lumber and farming regions, connect
ing them with trunk lines.
As there is an abundance of water
power still unappropriated in the Mo
lalla River, Butte Creek, and -several
mountain streams in the country to
be opened by the proposed line, and
the question of transportation being
solved, here will be a good field for
manufacturing Industries and a mar
ket for the products.
Several thousand dollars worth of
shares were subscribed to at the meet
ing. A committee will be appointed to
solicit sales of stock from the resi
dents along the right of way of the
new lice and the approximate vicin
ity, and the committee expect that
that farmers living along the route of
the proposed line will take at least
$100 worth of shares each, which may
be paid for In cash, labor or material
for construction.
It is the intention of the company
to commence building operations In
the early spring, and the work will
be finished as soon as possible.
As it will be a benefit to this city,
In the way of bringing a large trade
to the place, and as a large amount of
Its earnings will be spent here, it
should receive the support, assistance
and indorsement of the business peo
ple of Oregon City.

Jennings Lodge.
Merry Christmas to one and all and
may we all this Xmas of 1908 get its
full meaning. Rev. William E. Bar
ton has worded It so well by saying:
"Life is a Christmas Stocking. It Is
long and deep. We cannot see the
bottom of it; nor reach our presents
with a single snatch, but we may
take our blessings from the top, one
at a time, gratefully but not too fast
or eagerly; enjoy them and be 'gen
erous with them, and reach down
again. When you have pulled out all
the gifts you thought were there,
search yet another time; for some of
the dearest gifts of the love of God
are hidden' so deep that we find them
only when we have come to believe
that life is empty and sad, just when
most we need to find the choicest and
best of all the secrets of His never
falling goodness toward His child
ren." Owing to a little delay in getting
the chimney built to the chapel the
Christmas exercises will be held on
Christmas night, instead of December
23, as was planned. A very choice
program has been arranged, and we
feel sure that our first Christmas tree
at this place will be a success.

SHERIFF BEATTIE
IS ONE DEFENDANT
F. J. Epler Asks That He Be
Restrained from Selling
Certain Property
Fred J. Epler haB Instituted a suit
in the Circuit Court against R. B.
Beatle, as sheriff of Clackamas Coun
ty, and Mary A. Stark, and has peti
tioned for an order restraining the
sheriff from selling some land under
dispute at public auction.
On Apr1!! 13, the plaintiff was deed
ed the land in question, four tracts
In this county, containing about 150
acres, by Sabrlna and John H. Epler.
On November 7, Mary Stark through
the Circuit court of Multnomah coun
ty, recovered a judgment against Sa
brlna and John H. E. Epler for $4,-
500 and Interest, and an execution
was Issued out of Multnomah County
sheriff Beatle, directing him to sell
the property of the defendants of the
Multnomah county suit at public auc
tion on December 26.
The complaint states that at the
time the execution was issued, the

fendants, so the judgment Is not a
lien. The plaintiff prays the court
for an order restraining the sheriff
from selling the property until a fur
ther order is Issued from the court.
