HALF IV1ILLI0N DOLLARS
BACKING OFFERED
CAPITALISTS WILLING TO PUT UP
FOR O. C, B. C. A M. RAIL-
WAY.
ARTICLES TO BE FILED WEDNESDAY
Anxious to Get In on Ground Floor
Under Certain Conditions
Could Tap Larger
Territory.
Capitalists have Informed one of tho
promoters of the Oregon City, Heaver
1
Creek & Molalla Railroad company
that they are willing to put up one
half million dollars for tho construc
tion of tho proposed railway under
certain conditions. Among these are
teat a right of way shall be guaran
teed, that they shall bo represented
cn the directorate by two out of the
seven members on the board, and shall
bo given a first mortgage on the road
and its equipment Of course one of
those conditions is the matter of a
guaranteed right of way.
A half million dollars would enable
the company to build a loop tapping
the country south of Molalla, and
would bring the entire business of
that country tributary to Oregon City.
There is no question but that the road
would be a paying investment, as it
would tap some of the richest farming
and fruit lands In the Willamette val
ley as well as vast bodies of the best
fir and cedar timber.
The assurance of this capita! would
guarantee the early extension of the
line to uiioii springs, ao.uiuonai ior- i
ests of timber and promising coal and
copper deposits. While the building
rf the proposed railway would no
doubt be a paying investment, it would
result in making Oregon City a grQ
market town and trading center as
well as a manufacturing center. ,
It is bervJ that no obstacles will
e placed in the matter of securing
I -'-V.t of way. and that the money
:'.! ' . forthcoming for the early com-
rlff'n of the proposed road.
The artless ot incorporation that
t re to h?ve been filed a number of i
cays ago. hsve been du'y signed up 1
by the promoters that were out of j
the city, and steps will be taken to j
place them on record Wednesday.
