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

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.

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

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."

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.

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-
