WAITING.
A Mine of Great Richness for
Man to Take Out.
- In a fine writenp of the Clackamas
Southern railroda, and the interesting
history of tweuty-five years leading
np to it, we cup tne following item
from th a Sunday Journal, written by
Lloyd Kiohes:
" Within 18 miles of the metropolis
or uregon, not even beyond sight of
the glimmer ot its lights, is Jtlie gate
way and upper end of one of thB rich
est garden spots in this wonderfully
rich state. Here an area of 1,500
square miles, 250 square miles greater
in territory and incalculably greater
iu natural resources tiiau the state of
Rhode Island with its 400,000 popula
tion and $350,000,000 in property val
uation, has practically been excluded
by lack of railroad facilities, from in
tensified improvement aud retarded
in population growth to a paltry few
thousands, when a, hundred thousand
would live And prosper there "
"Stretching ou either side of the
road are some of the richest farm
lands in Oregon, beyond Molalla.
the wooded hills meet the rolling
farm lands and here is to be found
some of the best 'standing timber in
the world. According to County
Assessor Jack's signed . statement,
th' re are in eastern and southern
OlackamaB oounty fully 178,058 acres
of timber averaging 75,000 feet to the
aore, or in round liguref, 13,i00,00J,
000 feet.
"The new railroad will he com
pleted within a year to Molalli. From
there it will extend on to Marquam,
Sootts Mills aud SUve. ton. Mr. Swift
says that the plans are to nporafr) giiB
motor passenger cars while steam will
be the moitve power for the lreight
trains,"

rfom a right-of-way on the Kitz

Kitzujiller and his son, George. Kit,
miller, it is said, had pennsion of
ttie oounty oonrt to make the posts.
Ellis, manager of the East Side Mill
ing Company, said the trees from
which the posts were made were on
land belonging to that companv. At
a previous trial the plaintiff was
awarded (500 danisges, but the court
set aside the verdict and granted a
ni w trial. Judgn M rrow of Portland
presided at the secoud trial.
