FIGHT FARE RAISE A mass meeting of citizens of Cane mah was held Wednesday- night at Stokes' store to protest against the fares recently put into effect by the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. After the State Railway Commission made its first order the railway company discontinued issuing the books to Oregon City for ninety cents, providing a three-cent fare. New books were issued providing a tour-cent fare, but the company has abrogated the order for them and residents of Canemah now have to pay five cents to come to Oregon City. The fare formerly from Canemah to Meldrum was five cents, hut it haa been raised to ten cents. The citi- vens of Canamah are working in con junction with a committee appointed by the Live Wires of Oregon City, and will insist that the old rates be restored. Formerly the fare from Canemah to Portland was the same as from Oregon City to Portland, but it is now five cents more. The resi dents of Canemah will meet next Tuesday to petition the Oregon City council to use its influence to have the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company raise its tracks between this city and Canemah to prevent the tracks being flooded and service in terfered with as it was a week ago by high water.
