HISTORY OF OREGON.
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye Writes Chapter
Descriptive of Oregon City.
A Cleveland, Ohio, firm Is preparing
for publication a history of Oregon.
This firm has Issued similar histories
for a score of the Eastern States and
have now In press several from the
Western States. Mra. Dye waa asked
to prepare a chapter on Oregon City,
which she has done.
The proofe have been submitted to
her for correction and ahe Is very en
thusiastic as to what the book la to
contain. 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.

HEARING HAD IN THE CASE OP M.
E. DUNN VS. PORTLAND RAIL
WAY, LIGHT . POWER CO.
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."
