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

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

Report from tne vanoua nnanciai

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

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.

come of It, finally coming out in shape
for a try In the Houae.
No stone are being left unturned
in an effort to find aome one who can,
or something that may be ald or
done, to kill the measure. The mill
who oppoae It passage are on the
alert with all kind of weapon gar
nished for the fray; the friend of
the measure promlae to Je on hand
when the attempt Is made to slaughter
It. Unless some one has counted
nose wrong Indications are that the
measure will have a small majority
at Its passage and then receive the
signature of the Governor.
The bill was referred in the House
to the committee on labor Industrie,
through a maneuver executed by
friend of the proposed law.' Thl
committee I composed of Miller of
fUnn, Pierce of Curry and Clyde of
Multnomah. The latter I the repre

fend naturally strongly In favor of the
bill. Pierce and Miller also favor It.
and It will come from the committee
with a recommendation for passage.
A canvasa of the votes say -there
will be but 20 against It, out of 68.
