That the line of the Willamette Val ley Southern from Oregon City to Mt Angel would be completed by Septera ber and that by the first of the year, all tralna on the road would be operat ed by electricity, waa tho statement of one of tho officials of the rood Tues day. The distance from Oregon City to Mt. Angel Is about 30 miles and, ex cepting a few short plecea, tho right-of- way Is graded for all that dlatnuce. The first seven mllea of the line, from Oregon City to Heaver Croek. la now finished and construction trains mnke regulnr trlpa over tho rond. Threo cumps with several hundred men, are nt work In the Heaver Creek and Mu llno districts and the equipment used Includes a steam shovel and two nlle drivers. Tho rails will be laid for the entire 30 miles If tho present plans are car rled out by the early fall, but freight trains will be operated Into the Heaver Croek. Mullno and Molulla districts long before thnt. Power for the rond will bo secured at the generating plant ' at Castndoro at the head of the Clackamas river and a power line will bo construced across the country from the power r.nnt to a sub-stntion nt Heaver Creek. Work on this line will be commenced soon so thnt the sub-station can bo completed by the tlmo tho rond la ready for electrification. Work in tho terminal yards In Ore gon City Is progressing rapidly and tho site for the freight sheds Ib cleared rendy for the building. A side track will probably bo built from the Oregon Clty-Portlnnd track so thnt freight can be handled from one lino to the other with ease. Supplies for the line are arriving almost dally at the yards of tho company here and are hurried to the front so that there can be no de lay In the work.

Henry I.araon, a member of the Hoard of Trade and a prominent grocer In the city, wat present at the meeting and favored the plan.

The market will be operated on the same lines of those In Astoria. Vancouver, St. Johns and other towna where the movement is aald to be a success.
