I Mass Matting of Cltlztns Inaortas Plan For ,Anothar Oregon City-Portland Lint. Th- ront1"n of elcrtrtc railway con atrurtion h reoh'-d Oreon City and ClMrkMmm county. At a mum n.- Una of the cltlst-nt held at Hhlvrly'a oimtu hunae Monday nlaht. Ind'irarmrnt was had of the plan for a curlna another electric railway line be-twrt-n Oregon City and Portland. The attendant- at the mwtlng, which waa Inadequacy advertlard. waa not lurje. but the aympathy with the movement waa very fenrnil. O. V. Kby called the meetln to order and having: briefly stated the purpose of th meeting, John Lewellyn waa made chairman of the meeting and O. D. Eby. secretury. C. V. Clark, of Cbvkamaa, who with a number of other realdenta of that section Inaugufnted the agitation for another line, waa railed upon and ex plained In detail the proposition under consideration. Mr. ('lark aold the movement origi nated on th strength of reports that In dicated the probability of the building 1:1 an electric railway line from Salem to Portland and the people of hla aectlon of the county felt thav thla waa the op portune lime to make an effort to secure some recognition and possibly aecure the conveniences for auch a transpor tation agency. With the agitation that waa being had throughout the Willam ette valley along the line of electric rail way vonatructlon, he considered that, the preaent waa the time to act. Other than accompllahlng the building of an electric line over the proposed route which In-, cludea East Oregon City, Park Place, Kaat .Gladstone, Clackamas, Harmony. Mllwuukte. and Wlllaburg to Portland, the speaker auld he waa not Inatlgated by any company or corporation. His oaly motive was the securing of the bene nts that would accrue In the building of such a road. Contracting the territory of the pro posed route with that which la now served by the Oregon Water Power A Railway Company, Mr. Clark made com pariaon strongly favoring the route through Clackamas, which he urged Is bordered by a richer and more productive farming country that la more thickly populuted than la that along the O. W. P. Co.'a Hne. He conaldered that there la abundant room In thia aectlon of the Valley for two and even more electric llnea extending from thia point to Port land. It was denied by Mr. Clark that any especial fight waa being waged against the O. W. P. A Ky. Company, but he de clared that the i-opl of Oregon City and 'Clackamas county are being discrimi nated against by that company in the matter of freight and passenger traffics. He suid this fact should In itself con stitute a god. valid reason for the building of an opiHWitlon line. The charges now asked by the O. V. P. & Uy. Company, he continued, are extortionate. A number of questions were asked by those In the audience and In response to the iierles. Mr. Clark stated that the plan of action that had been undertaken by Himself and othrr cltixens. Is to Interest the people along the' proposed route In the project. MeetliiKS are being held and committees appointed to collect statistics as to tiie probable amount of freight and iseenger business that could be depended Uon for the support of such a road should It be built. When pos scsxed of these facts, the promoters will seek to interest capital In the project, to the end that the building of a road may eventually be secured. Remarks were ulo made by members in the audience, all ot whom favored the proposition though differing some what as to the best means of securing the desired Improvement. Others were dubious ;is to whether or hot. capital obuld be Interested sufficiently to expend tho amount that would be required. But all favored the project and were willing to take a chance. Councilman Koerner. and Sheahan. Mr. Welch, O. D. Eby, D. C. Ely, Mr. Francis, John Welamantel, John Lewellyn and a number of others addressed the meeting briefly. The ball was started by a motion of fered by O. I). Kby, declaring It to be the sense of the meeting that the build ing of an electric line along the route proposed was considered feasible. Be fore the meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the chairman, a committee was named to collect the deslrvd statistics In this locality as to the prospective amount of frelKht and passenger busi ness that would likely be available for a road auch as the one proposed. The members appointed on the committee are; John Lewellyn. O. D. Eby, D. C. Ely, E. V. Hnndolph, F. M. Darling and R. Koerner. The committee Is expected to complete Is work in about two weeks. PARK PLACE FALLS INTO LINE. Citizens Indorse Project for Another Motor Lint. A large and enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Park Place and vicinity, was held In Alxj thy Grange Hall, Park Place, Tue.SOay evening. 2Ud Inst., to consider the feasibility of construct ing a motor line to connect Portland and Oregon City via Wlnthrop. Clackamas and Park Place. Great Interest was manifested by all those present. Cap. J. T. Apperson was unanimously called to the chair, and L. W. Ingram, secre tary. Mr. Clarke, of Clackamas, outlined the advantages which must necessarily be derived by tho people living In prox imity to the proposed line, also the pre liminary work which must be done in order to secure these advantages. Capt. Apperson made many valuable sugges tions. A motion was offered by Wm. Bruyton ilint the elixir aj'iN.ltit a com mittee of five to take a census of the THEIR FAME IS WIDE.

Mr. Purse Is president of the inter-fltate Sugar Cane flrowera' Ansociatlon and also president of the Board of Trade of Savannah, Georgia. He waa also a dele gate to the Republican National Con vention at Chicago, where he met Hon. J. I'. Campbell, of this city, who today received a copy of Mr. Parse's address, excerpts of which are as follows: "Nothing surprised me more upon reaching Portland. Oregon, In the favor ed tone to which I have Just referred, than when I first learned that Oregon, with her emblem of the rose, claimed to be the rose state of our union of states. Curious to understand the significance of this claim. I asked a resident of Portland upon what It was based. His sententious reply was. 'You have evidently Just come to Oregon.' "In rides and walks In and about Port land, the evidence of Oregon's claim was quickly Impressed upon me In bow ers of roses along the residential streets, ss the modest home of the laborer, as well aa the coatly mansion of the mil lionaire had their flower gardens, and where space was limited houses and platzas were trelllsed with elamering vines, radiant with many colored blooms. A lover of roses. I never saw more per fect and magnificent developments, em phasizing the mildness claimed for the climate, and the super-abundance of pro duction certified io by the fact that, both In Oregon and the State of Wash ington, our most Northwestern states, roses, such as sell In Savannah, for II and upwards per dozen, find slow sale In the cities of these states at 25 cents per dozen, and carnations, SO cents to 75 cents a dozen with us, sell there at 10 to 13 cents a dozen, open air growths In both Instances." Fourth Quarterly Conftrtnct. On Saturday and Sunday, nexL the First Methodist Church will observe the Fourth Quarterly Conference meeting for the Conference year. At the conference session Saturday evening, In connection with the business meeting, there will be tendered a reception to the presiding elder. Rev. D. A. Waters, by the member ship of the church and congregation. At the Sunday morning service at 11 a. m. the presiding elder will preach and tht service will be followed by - the Sacra mental service. . The pastor. Rev. J. H. Wood, will preach at the evening service. v FARMERS REALIZE GOOD PRICES. Success of Ont Farmer In Producing Vtgetables. There Is not another class of indi viduals that will receive larger returns In proportion to the amount of capital invested thun will the farmers and pro ducers of the Willamette valley. While rlrops generally have not produced an av erage yield, perhaps, the quality is Im proved and the market value and de mand for the products of the farm have advanced proportionately. X Especially prosperous Is the gardener who Is this year supplying the city trade. Among these producers Is Wm. Mum powers, who resides on the Clackamas river near this city. Last year Mr. Mum power purchased a small farm on the banks of the Clackamas. The farm con sisted entirely of bottom land and it was seeded to vegetables With which Mr. MuniMwer has been supplying the Pott land trade. Market prices for garden pro ducts this year have not been as good In twenty years, and Mr. Mumpower finds that besides making a good living, he will succeed this fall in paying the total amount of the purchase price of the farm. The prevailing prices for vege tables of all kinds have been remarkably high. Beans are selling from S to 7 cents per pound and roasting ears are readily bought from the farmer at 22 cents per dozen. Other products bring prices in proportion. Mr. Mumpower hns been taking a wagon load of vegetables, produced on bis farm, to Portland every other day for a number of weeks and the proceeds have averaged i50 per wagot CROWDS GOINQ TO THE CIRCUS. Intense Interest has been aroused in this community by the announcements that Ringllng Brothers' Immense circus Is to exhibit in Portland. Monday and Tuesday, August 29 and 30. Several big excursions will go from this vicinity and local people will be well represented at the big show. Those who go from here should make every effort to arrive In time to see the magnificent new free street parade, which Is given In the morning preceding the opening perform ance. Three miles of parade glories are divided into thirty stations, and each section is a show In itself a parade such as the world has never seen before. In this wonderful display are shown 108 beautiful dens? lairs and cages of rare wild animals, a herd of forty big and little elephants, 650 horses, and over 1.000 people. One section of the procession Is devoted to magnificent and costly floats, representing Germany. Russia. England. France. India, Persia, Scotland, the I'nlted States, and other countries. The performance that follows, and which In cludes the superb spectacular production of Jerusalem and the Crusades, Is the most magnificent display of arenlc won ders ever presented by any amusement enterprise In America. The menagerie is filled to overflowing with rare beasts and birds. Including the only baby elephant bred and successfully raised In the United States, the only rhinoceros In captivity and the last living pair of giraffes. All the county news all Iht time in &e Enterprise, SOUTHERN PACIFIC CO. MAKES CITY A PROPOSAL Would Install Thrtt Underground Crass Ings In Rtturn for Much Valu able Property. An Important proposal from the South ern Pacific Company to the city council of Oregon City and In which every citi zen of Oregon City hat an Interest la pending before the mut.iclpal authorities. The proposition was submitted to tho members of the city council by W. D. Fenton. chief counsel for the railroad corporation, and Mr. Kennedy, chief en gineer for the company, at a special meeting of the city council last Friday night. In addition to Mayor Dimick there were In attendance at the meeting Coun cllmen: Krtapp. Kelly, Shehan. Chap man and Mason. Because of a defect In the plans as prepared by representative for the railroad company, further con sideration of tht matter was deferred until a subsequent meeting of the coun cil, another survey of the premises to be made in the meantime by the rail road company's surveyor In conjunction with City Engineer Rands far the city. In a nutshell the proposition submit ted by the railroad company la aa follows: In return for the granting to the com pany of tht confirmatory rights to the property now occupied' by the corpora tion and which the supreme court re cently decided belonged absolutely to the city, and the additional privilege, of con structing another side track In the local depot yards, the railroad company agrees to Install underground crossings for pe destrians at the foot of Seventh and Fourth streets, and an underground road crossing- and also a similar crossing for pedestrians at Third street, at a cost es timated by the railroad company fef I1S.0OO. An extended discussion of the merits of the proposition, submitted by the rail road company, waa side-tracked by tht discovery of a number of important de fects in the blue print of the premises that was presented by the railroad com pany in connection with its proposal, but enough was said by members of the council to Indicate that the city's interests will be carefully guarded In any transaction that may be consummated with the railroad company and having to do with the disposing of the valuable property to the possession of which the municipality has been vested with ab solute title. Councilman Sheahan, chairman of the council committee on streets and public property, was very frank in his remarks and informed the representatives of the railroad company that while the councH desired to be, perfectly fair In any deal ings it may have with the company, still in his opinion the corporation was asking for a great deal more than Its agents should have any, right to expect. He In timated' that the city authorities fully realize the value of the lights the city possesses and will deal with the railroad company on a strictly business basis. The city has valuable rights In this re lation and none should be surrendered except the municipality is amply com pensated In return. It Is a plausible argument on the part of the railroad company to contend that the city has an euual Interest with the railroad in see ing that the underground crossings are provided as sn agency for minimizing the liability of accident to pedestrians. But the city owes the railroad nothing while on the other hand the railroad company Is Indebted to the city for the illegal possession for a number of yeara of valu able property belonging to the city. The company's tracks are established on one of the two principal streets in the busi ness district of Oregon City and over which It operates its extensive system. It follows then that the responsibility for the safety of pedestrians should rest entirely with the railroad corporation without any liability attaching to the city. Property values have advanced very materially- In this city dining the last few years and the worth of the property that has been awarded to the city and over which the railroad company is now operating an excess of tracks, has in creased proportionately. Business prop erty is scarce at any tiflgure and the En terprise Insists again that the city should receive a full and reasonable considera tion for any concessions it may make at this time to the Southern Pacific Com- (Continued on page 8.)
