The report from the aecrotary was very flattering and the personnel of the board was' greatly cheered bv what this report ahowed. Already the subscriptions warrant the statement that money aufficlent haa been sub scribed to grade the road to Beaver Creek, the Initial undertaking of the company. Ttut tha work nt nlannlna- fnr thl.l new rond haa opened up much that Is new to those Interested In the project, and those who are assisting are de nirous or tne projectors taking on cer tain work that waa nofva part of the early plan. Those Interested feel that If Oregon City and Clacakams county ran ralso the money to put on the steel and equip and operate the road It will prove a much better business proposition for tha cltv and county than If the road la graded and then old out or farmed out to a company from the outalde. If the Oregon City and Clackamas county peonle own and control the venture It can he operated with a view to giving the people of the r'ty and the county the first call on lha prlvllegea and the benefits which the road haa to offer. To do thla tha $2o,on0 that was made necessary by the first plans will need to be Increased to IS0.O00. This last sum "-ill grade, lay tha steel, build the depot and freight houses and equip with cars for a auccesaful and profit able business, and the board of dlrec tore Is working to that end for Its own gratification first and to please thf friends and Investors In the aec fnd place.
