WASHINGTON, March 20 Encour
aged by the rapid progress adready
made in the preparation of a tariff
revision bill, close friends, of Presi
dent Wilson predicted tonight that
currency reform measures would be
brought before the extra session of
Congress.
The President talked informally
with some of his callers about the
prospects for currency legislation.
They went away convinced that
while the President would ' devote
himself first and foremost to tariff
revision, he now hoped that at least
a start on monetary reform, if not ac
tual legislation, would be possible
in the extra session.
From the first, the President has
believed in the necessity for immedi
ate currency reform and though de
sirous that Congress should focus its
attention and that of the Nation on
the tariff question, he never has given
up the' idea of getting a currency
measure before the country within
a few months. Some of his friends i
said today that they were particular- j
ly hopeful for currency reform be-1
cause of the attitude of the Democra
tic leaders in Congress toward exped
itious action on the tariff.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, is reported to have
said that the tariff could be disposed
of within three months. Like the tar
iff, the currency bill when drawn will
be presented as a party measure, care
fully worked out by Congressional com
mittees in co-operation with the Presi
dent. It will not be made public,- it
is said, until it lias been studied i
closely by members of the cabinet
recognized authorities on currency
questions, and some of the leading
business men of the country in whose

Optimism was the keynote of the
great meeting of the stockholders of
the Clackamas Southern Railway in
the banquet ,hall of the Masonic
Temple Thursday night.. More than
30 stockholders of the company and
friends were present, and it was the
unanimous verdict that the ' road
would be in operation to Molalla by
Fall. The object of the banquet was
to obtain advice of friends of the
project regarding the work to be done
the coming Summer.
Those present had been taken on
a special car over the route beyond
Newell Creek in the afternoon, and
all expressed themselves as being
astonished at" what had been accom
plished. Franklin T. Griffith, general
counsel ' of the, Portland Railway,
Light & Power Company, declared
that the road would be a paying one
from the start'. --
He said that the Portland Railway,
Light Power Company would co
operate with the new line in every
way and furnish cars if they were
wanted, the company realizing that
the Clackamas Southern -would be
one of its best feeders. F. D. Hunt,
traffic manager of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company, was
as enthusiastic as ftifr. Griffith over
the prospects for the new line. J. W.
Mbffatt declared that the . engineer
of the Clackamas Southern - had ac
complished better results with the
capital he had been given than any
engineer he had ever known. Mr.
Moffatt declared that the part of the
line completed was first class in ev
ery particular. He has' had an exper
ience "of more than 30 years in build
ing railways. Others who spoke were
B. T. McBain, C. H. Dye, W, S. U'Ren
aDd H. E. Cross. Mr. TJ'Ren declar
ed that the road should be completed
at once and said if the public spirit
ed citizens of this city and county
realized what an advantage it would
be to them they would subscribe lib
erally for stock in. the railway. S.
M. Ramsby said the bridge at Newell
Canyon was one of the best railway
briues in the country. The women
of the Episcopal Church furnished
the dinner.
