WORK HAS BEGUN ON NEW RAILWAY FIRST WORK CLEARING RIGHT OF WAY OF CLACKAMAS SOUTHERN RY. STARTS FORCE BRUSH-BURNERS TO FOLLOW A Gang of Grsdsrs Will Begin Work - the Last f This" Week r the First of Next Wssk. The actual construction work on the Clackamaa Southern Railway waa commenced on Tuesday morning at the corporate limits of Oregon City, and will be pushed. aa rapidly aa possible toward tho Beaver Creek and Molalla country. A good crew of men are now actively engsged In clearing the right of way snd burning all of the debris so. that the graders that follow will be able to prosecute their work as rspidly as possible. The company will use the very best system possible In their construction work, and at the end of each week an engineer will carefully measure up all work one for that week and compare the expense account with the value of the work performed, so that -the com pany will be sure to get value re ceived for overy dollar expended. The rgradlng work will probably be done by the same foreman wbo constructed the Columbia Southern Railway and the Oregon and Southeastern. He has. made an application for the position and has offered to take stock In the compsny as compensation for his ser vices, which demonstrates the fact thst he hss faith In the enterprise. The directors of this compsny are men who are well known aa business men of Clackamaa county, and the ob ligation which they are assuming Is a comprehensive one, and they are en. titled to the unlimited support of ev. ery patriotic citizen in the county. They , have promised the stockholders that- during the construction period that every dollar of money paid In the treasury for capital stock will be ex pended tn the construction of the road and they would give their time to the work without salary. There never haa been an enterprise started In Clackamas county that has more merit thsn the building of this short line of railway which would en- able people who own property In the Interior of the county to market their vast forests of timber, aad also fur (her develop one of the finest sections of Oregon that has been so long neg lected. Oregon cltv will also be benefitted because It will bring all of the freight from that large territory Into Oregon City, and also make this city a great distributing point for logs, lumber, pil ing, cord wood and other freight that will come from that rich aectlon of the count v. ' i Everybody should assist tbe i direc tors In their work and subscribe to tbe cspltsl stock of the company, and not be Influenced by those people who love to stand around on the street cor ners and tell otners inai -ine can't be done." A staff writer for the Enterprise, who wss out on the ground Tuesday afternoon, writes as follows concern ing the work: "Active building operations com menced this morning at 8:30 on the Clackamas Southern R. R. Eight hundred to a thousand feet of the right of way has been denuded of un der brush today by a gang of a doxen men under Mr. Swift who is In charge of the work at present. "Tomorrow morning another gang will follow from where the first gang Koran and the loas and underbrush will be burned preparatory to grading. which will be started next ween, i ne scene of the work todsy waa a lively one. Tbe men were all working atead lly and the hillside became bare as by msgle. . "The work of grading will be com paratively easy even for the first mile which Is the only one where there will be mnch rock work. The rock work on the first mile Is through loose boulders and offers the best kind of foundation for a roadway with mini mum of labor In preparing It. A trade of one and one half per cent will take the new road out of town, starting from the ssme the Southern Facinc irac. around the bluff beyond Kansas City snd overlooking the flata back of Green Point the road will run ttirougb a beautiful country which ought to become popular with alghtseers aa well as the people living In the coun try to be opened."
