RAILWAY COMPANY
PREPARE ARTICLES OF INCOR
PORATION WITH CAPITAL
STOCK OF $100,000.
ENGINEERS PROCEED AT ONCE
Several Miles of Track Likely to be
Built During Present Year
Say Backers of
Road.
Engineers will soon be placed in
the field along the proposed lino of
railway to be constructed to Molalla
from the Oregon City water front,
and the most available route wil'
aoon be determined.
Local capitalists that are at the
back of the venture are having articles
of Incorporation prepared authorizing
the existence of a corporation to be
known as the Oregon City, Beaver
Creek and Molalla Railway company.
The capital stock will be 100,000 and
It will be enjoyed with the usual priv
ileges granted railway companies.
Steam may at first be used as a mo
tive power on account of the heavy
traffic in big logs and timbers that is
sure to result from the completion of
the first few miles of the road. If
found to be a matter of economy the j
road can be readily electrified when
it Is completed or at any time there-'
after.
Engineers have already been em
ployed to run lines of survey alonj
the proposed route, and will begin
actige work in the flield within a few
days. If the property owners along the
proposed line of railway do not inter-
pose any obstructions in the way. It ;
is intended to have the line In opera
tion to Beaver Creek at the end of
the present year. In fact, the comple
tion of the entire system depends to a
treat extent on th( mnr-ptsinnj thai
can be secured In the matter of rMbt
oi way.
From present indications grade
stakes will be placed in position along:
the line of the proposed railroad that
win pnng convenient transportation i
facilities to the finest timber land and
farming country jn the northwest.
The local promoters of the railway
have assurances that there will oe
no difficulty in KPonrin? rnnitil in

foregone conclusion that it will be a i
paying investment In fact the finan t0 ,nd"" 'migrants and new

MARCH IN OREGON
DIFFERS FROM EAST
"Back East" March Is the worst
month of the year, except drear No
vember. V.'lndy March! Wind of the
piercing, freezln kind, resulting in
an awful death harvest from pneumo
nia. What a contrast to the real
spring weather Oregon enjoys In
March. The U. S. weather bureau at
Pomand reports from data covering
35 years that we may expect warm,
southerly winds during this" month
with an average velocity of 6.2 miles!
"Velocity" is too strong a word for 6
mles an hour wnds gentle zephyrs,
The average temperature for March
in this favored land for 35 years Is
4G.9 degrees, and in the coldest March
in all those years the average tem
perature was 40.5 degrees. Average
rainfall for 35 years is 5.23 Inches,
just enough to give vegetation the
start that insures early and bounte
ful crops, and robes all Western Ore-
gon in bright green, variegated with
beautiful and brilliant colors of myr
iads of flowers. It's nice to live in
Oregon.

Extols Some of the Great Resources
of Oregon City and Adja
cent Country.
The last issue of the Portland Board
of Trade Journal gives space to the
following In part. However, It does
not do Justice to the paper mills and
manufactories of Oregon City. It Is
stated that many copies of the Board
of Trade Journal will be distributed,
in the East. .
"Clackamas county contains 1C00
square miles, equtva'ent to 1,221,000
acres. As an evidence cf what can
be done In Clackamas on its 150,000
acres under cultivation, when It is
realized how much of wealth producer
these are, what would be the result of
the cultivation ot a more extended
area? Here's' a few figures for the
farmer to consider: Wheat 33 bushels
to the acre, oats CO bushels, barley
40, clover 4 tons, timothy, 2 1-2 tons,
potatoes 150 bushels, hops 1200 lbs to
the acre.
Not nearly as much attention has
been paid to fruit raising as the
quality of the soil merits. In the foot
hills there is a large acreage peculiar
ly adapted to apple raising and pro
curable at a reasonable price. These
together with peaches, prunes, pears,
etc., can be readily grown and with
attention made a source of profit. One
report of Clackamas county's varied
resources states that "the up-to-date
farmer can plant and harvest some
crop every month In the year."
Outside of water transportation
tlK're Is the railroad line of the South
ern Pacific and the electric line of
the Oregon Water Power & Railway
company both of which connect Ore
gon City with Portland.
The timber acreage of Clackamas
county Is large and valuable and it is
estimated that there are quarter sec
tions that contain as high as 25,-

NO WARRANT ON
TELEGRAPH ADVICE
Such Evidence Is Not Sufficient When
Worthless Check Is
Cashed.
The local authorities refused to Is-
sue a warrant for tho arrest of W. M.
Edwards charged with passing a
worthless $10 check on Mr. George,
proprietor of Georgo Bros, restaurant
and lodging house last Saturday on
the ground that he could not be held
merely on the telegraph statement
that he had no money on deposjt In a
Colorado bank. Edwards who has
been here for several days claims that
he Is a horse buyer from Colorado, and
asserted that he had funds on deposit
I: the First National bank of Colora
do Springs, Colo., so It Is stated by
F.rsons who have been doing business
r-ith him. Mr. George cashed a 110
check for Mr. Edwards, retaining ISI'011 W1" "nvo nothing to fear. It HI
of the amount for board and lodging
furnish! him. Mr. George then had
a local bank send a telegraph query
to the Colorado bank, and a response
came In the afternoon that TSdwarda
had no money on deposit thoro
Mr. George then made an attempt to
have a warrant Issued for Edwards'
arrest but was assured by the proper
authorities that the man could not be
convicted on evidence of this kind.
Cause of Stomach Troubles.
When a man has trouble with his
stomach you may know that he Is 1
eating more than 1 he should or of
some article of food or drink not suit

er Tablets to regulate the bowels and

EXCITEMENT.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAY EXTEND
Twenty-Year Leases on Lands by Cor
porations and Railroad Sur
veyors, In F lot Fuel That
Will Burn.
The 20-year leases acquired by tho
Oregon Diamond Coal Mining and De
velopment company ( tho lands tin
dornonth the town of Heott'a Mills,
and tho evident purpose of tho South
ern Pacific Hallrond company i build
a branch lino from Mt. Angel to the
former place, a distance of segon
in lies, means something for Clacka
mas county. Scott Mills Is built al
most on the dlgldlng lino between
Marlon nud Clarkumus counties and
a part r tho town actually lies In tho
territory of tho latter division. All
the coal mines that have been pros
pected and mined for years aro locat
ed on tho Clnekmuas coifnty side. Tho
wagon roud from Clackamas county
to the Ogle creek minim, also pttHsos
through Scott Mills,, and tho only
thing that makes It a Marion county
town Is the fuel that a majority of
the lesldi iits have to pay their taxes
In Salem.
There nro cropping of cool through
out that entire section of country nnd
somo proifil.tlng veins havo been un
covered, J. K. Jack says that cropping of
coal havo been found on the old Jack
homestead this Side of Hutto creek
from Sends Mills, possessing Indica
tions that it was of good quality. A
IochI blacksmith at Marquam used
coul dug out of tho ground In that
suction for a number of years and It
proved satisfactory.
The company that has secured leas
es on tho Scotts Mills property, re
cently sunk a 200-foot tunnel with
most gratifying results and tho citi
zens of that burg aro much excited
over tho fact that heavy bedy of good
quality conl exist under the town.
The owners of tho property leased, ac
cording to tho conditions of the agree
merits, are to receive 8 cents per ton
for coal taken from their respective
holdings.
The Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany has boon so favorably Impress
ed with recent developments that en
gineers are already In tho field locat
ing a line from Mt. Angel to Scotts
Mills. This branch road would take
a largo section of the south end of
ClnrkntiiB r-nnntv nml O 1.1 I...
tended to Wllhoit Springs only a few
miles further.
These developments will mean
something for the coal prospects In
the Marquam and Wllhoit districts,
:and Is not improbable that the heavy
