of Molalla; C. T. Howard, of Mullno;
Silas Wright and Feed H. Burns, of
Liberal; and G. A. Schuebel and H.
H. Hughes, of Beaver Creek, went to
Portland this week and held a con
ference with F. M. Swift, who is pro
moting the scheme to connect Oregon
City by bands of steel with the ter
ritory along the Molalla road Into
Scott' Mills, touching at Beaver
Creek, running down Buckner Creek
to Mullno, and striking Liberal, Mo
lalla and Marquam. They are en
thusiastic over the project and will
leave nothing undone to accomplish
the actual construction of the road.
Mr. Swift told these gentlemen that
he would have no difficulty In floating
bonds for the construction of the line,
providing he Is In a position to show
to the bond buyers that the residents
of the territory through which the
road will pass, are becoming Inter
ested financially. His Idea is to bond
the proposition for $1,000,000, and not
only construct a railroad, but build
plants for the development of elec
tricity, obtaining power from the Mo
lalla River. With this end in view
he has already filed upon water from
forks of the Molalla and expects to
build a dam between Dickey's Prai
rie and the North fork of the Molalla.
This dam, Including the wings, will
be about 1200 feet In width.
The railroad route Is now definitely
located as far as Mullno, and no en
gineering difficulties are presented to
that point The grade in no place Is
more than m per cent Engineer
Lorlng has been making surveys for
several months and has made prelim
inary locations as far as Marquam.
With the Immense deposits of lime
stone at Marquam, and the coal pros
pects at Scott's Mills, there Is little
question about the road paying good
returns on the investment, and it Is
probable that arrangements will soon
be made for the disposal of stock In
the company to local people.

WILLIAM SHEAHAN
COMING TO HAWLEY
WELL GROUNDED REPORT SAYS
PAPERM AKER WILL GO TO
NEW MILL.
It Is current report that William
Sheahan will become superintendent
of the new Hawley Pulp & Paper
Company. Mr. Hawley would neither
deny nor affirm the report, and said
he did not care to discuss the matter
at this time.
Mr. Sheahan Is arranging to move
from Camas, Wash., where he has
been for the last three years as su
perintendent of the Crown-Columbia
Pulp & Paper Company. He was for
many years employed in the mills
of the Willamette Pulp and Paper
Company, as foreman of a department,
but left the service of the Willamette
concern to go with the Crown-Columbia
people, at the time when Mr.
Hawley was general manager of the
latter concern. It Is Mr. Sheahan's
former business relations with Mr.
Hawley that furnish food for the be
lief that they have made a deal where
by the former will become superin
tendent of the new mill, which will
be In operation about the first of the
new year. Mr. Sheahan and family
will occupy their house on Water
street, now occupied by James P.
LovetL
MOVE HISTORIC HOUSE.
Movement Started to Save McLough
lin Home.
At the meeting of the council Wed
nesday night. Mayor Carll Informed
the Council that the old McLoughlln
home would have to be moved. The
water commission needs the grounds
where the building now stands. Tho
mayor stated that there are numbers
of people here who have a reverence
for the old land mark and would not
like to see it torn down. There is
room for the building back of the flre
house. It would cost about $150 to
move the structure. A committee was
appointed to look Into the matter and
confer with a committee of citizens
to see if a fund can be raised to move
the building.
Paget to Talk at Mt. Pleasant.
The Mount Pleasant Civic Improve
ment Club will hold a meeting next
