A j suggestion was made that a vote be taken to see how much money coould I be raised. In nearly 20 minutes I $2,000 hud been subscribed and taken I out In stock. This Is considered a remarkable accomplishment when It Is considered that no enmpaign had been waged td raise the money, and It was all subscribed without pre vious solicitation. The fact shows what kind of peo ple are behind the line and of the great amount of confidence they have In It. The raising of two thousanJ dollars at last night's meeting snould be sufficient to convince any dubious perscn that the line Is going to be completed Its entire length. At the meeting reports by the of ficer of the company- were read which showed that more than three miles of track have bnen laid and that the company espocts the line In to Heaver Creek within thirty days.

Hut there are exceptions to every rule, and the present weather Is one of the exceptions. According to anglers who are after trout and other things beside the fish that swim in the Willamette, the rain of Friday has put sport "on the blink'' for a day or two. "It is this way," said one of the local enthusiasts, who delights to tramp in C.ie frigid water of the small streams back in the hills.
