In preparing the data for the article In question Mrs. Dye" became more than usually Interested In the work at hand and she says there was much more of Interest to write con cerning our picturesque little city than one would think at casual glance. The book will soon be on sale In Portland and this city. WHAT REDUCED FARE WILL DO EOR US HERE EXPRESSIONS AS TO HOW THE O. W. P. MAY AID THE CITY AND WIN FRIENDS. The reduced fare controversy on the O. W. P. between this elty and Portland has brought out many ex pressions as to how the railway peo ple may win popularity among the citizens of this city. But chief among the expressions was this: "The com pany can do nothing that will win for It more popularity than to double track Its line to Portlanu and put on an express train run between the two cities. "If the company would do that," tald the citizen quoted, "It would be possible for the express run to make the distance In 30 minutes. Only two stops, at Milwaukie and Gladstone, would be made necessary, and such a run would please present residents and bring many people1 from Portland. "With Buch a service the rich Port land merchants would many of them like to comeiLere to live. That would mean many nice homes, giving the tax duplicate a big boost and make it nnaalble to continue street Imnrove- ment, Un we had one of the prettiest ctle8 th8 Northwest country. And that would mean a bigger and better city, which all are striving for." We know of no other spot in the State where It is more picturesque than here In Oregon City at least no snot .more picturesque where It Is pos sible to build a city. And with a ser vice such as asked for above It la cor ce sucn as asKea tor aoove i. cer - in many people from Portland would ti be pleased to come here to live, One of the things that has pulled this city down tn the past has been : ,he movng am ty of people who had i gg ROod ag thpy Bnoui,i be. And it is certain the railway people will grant the service when shown that it la to be profitable, which it will be once people begin to come here to build handsome homes. Oregon City has the making of a very prettv piace and the railway can j0 m0re to hasten its com- lnfE which will prove profitable to lttnan any other agency tn the city. ..n,on of effort 0j an interests is what Oregon City needs at thla time, and one or two organization that are working for the clty'a good are ac complishing much towards that end.

COMMISSIONERS HEAR CONTENTION Belief of Those Present That Prosecu tion Made a Favorable Im - prcsslon With the Board. Citizens of Oregon City, with very few exceptions, want a lower rate of fare between Oregon ' City and Port land. And to that end a movement was Bet on foot to secure it a short time ago that culminated in a hearing before the Railway Commissioners of Oregon at the Court House In this city Wednesday morning. Messrs. Campbell, Miller and Altchison form the board and they were all present when the case waa called Wednesday morning.. The contention nas been that other places in this part of the State are enjoying better fare facilities than Oregon City,- and that because of that this city ia being discriminated agalnat. The law does not provide a way for discriminating and when this Is shown it la up to the railway to reduce the fare In conformity with the best rate given, contributing con ditions to be taken into account. The case is known aa the M. E. Dunn vs. Portland Railway, Light ft Power Co. Oregon City railway fare reduction caae, and the suit was begun by Mayor Brownell several month i ago, and the plea aet up waa for a reduction of fare between thla city and Portland. . A full hearing waa had in the case with the whole board Bitting in evi dence. Mr. Brownell waa assisted by G. B. Dimick. Livy Stipp and others, while Franklin T. Griffith and Mr. Hunt looked after the interests of the railway people. There were numerous witnesses present, and they were examined by Mayor BrownelL The evidence brought out ahowed Uiat the railway company charged a less rate for num ber of miles traveled around Portland on the Springwater division of He Una than the charge they make for the same dlatance between Oregon City and Portland. This, Mr. Brownejl claimed, constituted a discrimination against Oregon City and her people as set forth in the law against dis crimination. The evidence also showed that a party could pay cash fare to Portland and then could not get a transfer, but , cagn fare to the Golf . jjnkg and then a nlcMe makiDg 25 centa, he could get a transfer taking him all over Portland, even to 8L Johns, which wss also discrimination. Mr. Hunt, on cross examination, ad mitted this In answer to Mr. Brown ell's question, and he also admitted that this was discrimination against Oregon City people. There were many people from out of the city preaent to hear the evi dence presented to the board, and quite a number were here from Mil waukie, the people there being Inter ested from the fact that they them aelvea have a rate case pending. Mayor Brownell feels confident the board will order a reduction, but lt Is not likely that the cut will be as deep aa 15 cents thinks more likely It will be 20 centa and 35 cents for the round trip. The general sentiment waa that the board had familiarized Itself with con ditions before coming to the city and that the evidence contained little that was new to Its members. The feeling Continued on page two." Oo40o4ooo $500 $40,000 $12,000 i
