Improvement ot Main atreet Oregon City New railroad up Milk creek i 15.000 4 1771.000 Total a- Over three-quarter of a million dol lar will be spent In Clackamas county during the next year In six projects that are now practically assured. Th two principal project are the reconstruction ot the Oregon City lock by the government and the South Fork pipeline that will connect the clear cold waters of the eastern Clackamaa stream with Oregon City and West Linn. TT e alone will en tail a cost of 1590 000 aad money has been secured for each Labor will be the main Item of ex ponse. In tbe pipeline work, the re construction of tbe locks, the Improve ment ot Main street, the laying of the West Linn water system and In the construction of new county roads and bridges many hundred men will be em ployed.' Between two and three hun dred men will be put to work on th South Fork pipeline alone and prob ably almost that number will be em ployed on the locks. The labor will be distributed among Oregon City men. The Oregon Engi neering & Construction company has agreed to give Clackamas county pref erence and practically all the county road and bridge work Is done by na Uvea of the county, The effect of distributing this amount ot money In this part ot the state Is considered one of the prin ctpal fnctors that will revive business here. It will result In much money be ing Bpent for food, clothing, tools and machinery In Portland and Oregon City markets. The West Linn water mains will be built at a cost of $75,000 to be met by the sale of bonds. The town across the river will float a $200,000 Issue ot which $125,000 will go to Oregon City to buy a one-third Interest In Uie South Fork line. A reservoir will be constructed on the highest point in the city and the system of distributing mains laid that will reach every part of the city. The reconstruction of the locks is the largest project undertaken prac tically In Oregon City itself. A new lock chamber will be built, a dividing wall run through the middle ot the canal, the walls rebuilt and repaired. The largest road project planned for this year Is the graveling of the Pacific highway from Oregon City south to the county line with the best grado of river gravel. The total amount to be spent on. roads In the county this year will be in the neigh borhood ot $300,000 but the greater part of this sum will go for repair and maintenance. A steel span across Eagle creek is the largest bridge that will be built. A number ot new roads In the county will be opened, Including a new road into the Wilhoit district, one near Estacada and several In oth er parts ot the county. The road up Auik creeK will be a feeder for the Willamette Valley Southern and will be three miles in length. It will be standard gnage and built to withstand heavy traffic. This line will reach a large body of heavy timber. D. L. Trulllnger, a timber-man of Union Mills, will own and operate the road. Besides these specific examples ot the growth and development ot the county, there are many other projects more uncertain in their nature. The Carver road, now building from Portland Into Clackamas coun ty means the employment of additional labor and the pur chase ot supplies. Several sawmills, located In the eastern Bectlon of the county that have been Idle for months will resume operation before the end of the spring. I ing.

The "flood tide of American prosperity within a period of six months was pre dicted by Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane. "I have it on the opinion of several of the men in this country who have most extensive in terests and who employ a great deal of labor," the secretary said, "that no man In this country will be without employment within six months if he is really looking for work. The man ager of an immense concern In Illi nois that supplies gas and electric pow er to 32 small towns throughout the state and who is well up on industrial conditions, made that statement. And I am persuaded that he is right "We have every prospect ot an Im mense wheat and grain crop. Every firm that can manufacture munitions of war, Is, of course, in a very envi able position. The prospect is excel lent for large crops and good prices. I predict a flood of prosperity." "We should make our own furniture on the coast, for example," he said, "Instead of shipping the wood east and then shipping back here the finished product." Secretary Lane spoke in favor ot the development of the irrigation resources of southern California looking to the cultivation of every sere ot tillable land. VALIDITY OE ELECTION C.

In the mountains the line crosses property belonging to corporations and the commission baa been assured that there will be no difficulty In securing rights-of-way although In order to se cure a clear title to some land near the Intake that Is Involved In litiga tion. It will be necessary to go through the formality ot bringing a ault.

Jituey buss es are declared by Attorney General Brown to be public passenger convey ances or common carriers within the meaning of casualty insurance com panies. The question as to whether Jitneys could be classed as public con veyances was asked the attorney gen eral by Harvey Wells, state Insurance commissioner, as the' problem has been presented to the insurance com missioner's office lately through the injury of persons who were Tiding in jitneys. Casualty Insurance conipiy nies have been in doubt if persons carrying insurance could properlv claim insurance after being Injured while riding in a jitney, as there seemed to be nothing defining this class of conveyance. Attorney General Brown points to the statute defining a common carrier as a public conveyance transporting passengers for hire, and reasons that persons riding in jitneys are passen gers since they are compelled to pay fare.
