Professor MOLALLA RAILWAY PROJECT REVIVED SALEM RAILWAY SYSTEM HAS PLAN TO TAP THE COUNTRY FROM THAT CITY. WOULD D"fERT TRADE TO SALEM "Live Wire" Will TaK Matter Up at Meeting Today Dont Want Our Beat Trade Cap tured. Notwithstanding the failure ot f. M. Swift. G. C. Fields and other pro moters to finance the Molalla railroad project, there aro people In Oregon City who have not given up hope of making aome arrangement to com mence actual work on tho proposed line from Oregon City through Beaver Creek and the Molalla Valley to 811 verlon, and a apur waa given to this hope Monday by tho appearance In Oregon City of a representative of the Salem. Falls City and Western Railway, In search of plats and sur veys of some of the paper lines that have been tho subject for a great deal of newspaper comment during the last three years. The visiting railroad man aid not obtain the data that be Is In search of, aa all of tm original plats and sur veys of the Oregon City, Reaver Creek and Molalla Railroad are In the bands of F. M. Swift at Portland. It 1 un derstood that the Salem. Falla City and Western la contemplating an ex tension Into the rich timber belts along the Molalla. and If a road from Salem taps this aectlon. It I good bye to the hopea of Oregon City for a feeder into the richest section of Clackamna county that 1 airecuy tributary to thla town. Report from tne vanoua nnanciai centers of the East, wnere euori have been made to Interest capital in the Molalla project, without auccesa. indicate that the actual reason tor me shyness of the moneyed man Is the price at which land I being held through the Molalla Valley and the further fact that ao long aa these prt cea prevail, there la little prospect of the country, becoming thickly settled, even If a railway line sfiould penetrate Into the Interior. Inveetora In new railroad properties are looking for territories where tber aro many small farms, rather than a few large ones for experience has taught them that' the man who farm 10 and 20 acre, and farma It Intelligently and Industriously, Is, In most Instance, a bettor man for the railroad than the farmer who owns 80 or 160 acre and farms only a part of It. or makes a feeble pretence at cultivating the whole of It. - However, a desperate effort will be made to arouse sufficient Interest In the project to make Oregon City an object point or terminal, and the mat ter will be brought vlgorouely to the attention of the Live Wire, at their weekly luncheon today, and an effort mad. to start something, t Is likely that a further attempt will be made this Spring to finance the proposition with local capital, with the belief that aa aoon a. a ahowlng la made by the construction of grading of a dor.en miles of road, adequate capital will be forthcoming.

SECOND CHOICE NEW LAW SPEAKER RU3K HAS A MORE EQUITABLE PLAN T8ECURE NOMINEES AT PR I MARIE 8. PLAN HAS MUCH Of KERTT IX IT Republican Would In That Way Have Saved the Day In the Late -8tat Con teat SALEM. Or.. Feb. 13. (Speclal.J Speaker Rusk Introduced bla tint bill of the season this morning, the bill In question providing for a second choice for primary candidatea when tne Bum ber of candidates 1 twice the number of offices to be filled. As there have been many bills Introduced, more In fact than the Speaker thinks are wise, he has refrained from putting any in to the hopper until this time. If a law, as provided in the Rusk proposal, bad been In force at the last primaries. Senator. Jay Rowerman would not have been nominated by tho Republican party for Governcr, but the ftght would probably have been led by Judge Dlmlck of Oregon City. Friends of Dlmlck argue that had this been the case we would now have ReDubllcan rather than a Democratic Governor. If the Rusk bill la passed each voter will be required to Indicate hla first and second choice In separate columns provided on the ballot sheet. If there were twice as many candidates as there are office. In any case, the voter would not be permitted to make hi first choice Ills second, but would be compelled to vote for some other can dldate or have bis ballot thrown out as Invalid. Section 7 of the bill says: "If no candidate shall have received a sufficient number of first choice votes to constitute a majority of the total vote received for that office, then a canvass shall be made of tbe second choice votes received by the candidate for such office and the number of sec ond choice vote received shall be counted with and added to the. first cbolce vote of each candidate and the candidates receiving the highest num ber of first and second choice votes shall be the nominee or nominees for such office of the political party rep resented by himself." Should there be aeveral candidates receiving a majority of the votes cast after the first and second choice bal lots have been added, those receiving the highest number of votes are nom inated according to the provision, of the bill. . Speaker Rusk decided upon the pro visions of the bill after a conference yesterday with a number of senators and representatlvea. All declared themselves In favor of It and a strong force will be thrown behind the bill In an attempt to pass It at the present session.
