LEITER WAS
FROM GRACE
Mllwaukie is going after a 5 cent
fare In earnest. At a mass meeting
held Tuesday night in the city hall
it was decided to file a complaint with
the State Railroad commission against
the Portland Railway. Light & Power
company, charging the company with
discriminating against Mllwaukie by
charging a 10-eent fare to and from
Portland.
Mayor William Shindler presided at
the meeting and J. W. Grasley acted
as secretary. Mayor Shindler in a
few words set forth the purposes of
the meeting which was called to con
sider the reply of the Portland Rail
way Light & Power company to the
petition that was filed with the Rail
road commission two weeks ago,
asking that the commission intercede
to eecure a five-cent fare for Milwau
kee, a concession which the railroad
company declined to grant.
Secretary .Grasley read the reply,
which was signed by F. I. Fuller, gen
eral manager and vice president of
the railway company. In general, Mr.
Fuller undertakes to show that there
has been no discrimination against
Milwaukie in the matter of fares. It
Is admitted that St, Johns and Lents

A surveying party Is running a lino
from Woodburn Into the Molalla coun
try. The route of the proposed rail
road runs south of Needy and iu by
the Jonathan Yoder sawmill. The sur
veyors will not say whether they are
working for the Southern Pacific or
for an independent company.
A line was run a few mouths ago
from Canby to Molalla. thence south
to'Scotts Mills, tapping the coal mines
and big timber belt there.
"The fact that these surveys are
being made should cause Oregon City
people, and especially the business
men to sit up and take notice," said
one of the leading promoters of tho
Oregon City, Heaver Creek and Mo
lalla road Wednesday. "If a railroad
Is built to Molalla from either Canby
or Woodburn It Is goodbye as far as
Oregon City Is concerned to about all
of south Clackamas trade."
The gentleman quoted knows what
he Is talking about The lino of least
resistance from Molalla to the river
would come out about at Harlow.
The Oregon City line Is the longest
and costliest, but once built It would
be a paying Investment, and unite
south Clackamas to the county seat
for many years, as no other road
would be built into that territory for
a long time.
The surveys for the first section of
the O. C, B. C. & M. railway have
been completed, and work on secur
ing the right of way starts Thursday

The following committee was ap

Richard Scott, Philip Streib, J. W.

mittee was authorized to file the for
mal complaint at once. A hearing
will be held in the city hall of Mil
waukie at such time as the Railroad
commission may fix that will be agree
able to both sides.
While the fact was not brought out
at the meeting in Mllwaukie, it is
well known the principal reason that
a five cent fare is not given to Mil
waukle and a corresponding reduc
tion to Oak Grove, is the effect it
would have on the fare to Oregon
City, the company being determined
to keep the rate between sere and
Portland at 25 cents.
During the last few months there
have been several attempts made by
private individuals, to secure a 10
or 15 cent rate from Oregon City, be
sides the efforts of the board of
trade in the same direction. It is
claimed that a 10 cent fare would add
COOO to the population of this city
within three years.
Milwaukle is kept from growing by
a fare twice as high as to other su
burbs. The town has now COO Inhab
itants and it is believed there that a
five cent fare would double the popu
lation In a short time. The town is
