EGGS ARE QUOTED
AT PRICES TO SUIT
'Get all you can for 3rour eggs"
seems to be the cry of poultrymen
at present, and as a result the egg
market is in general disorder. Best
eggs are quoted from 19y2 to .25
cents a dozen, and are being bought
at . all prices. The w holesale market
is altogether upset, and the only
prices that, are at all staple are on or
ders for export shipment. There is
a plentiful supply of egs, and a de
sire to unload this while the selling
is good is responsible for the situa
tion. ,
Increased offerings of chicken are
lowering the market, though local
prices in Oregon City remain high.
Local raiders are finding a better mar
ket for their stock in Portland.
Apples have developed a scarcity,
and good prices are to be had either
at retail or wholesale for .good var

than .small fruit.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
CLACKAMAS COUNTY TO
LOOSE MILLION DOLLARS
MULINO, Ore., April 20, 1913.
(To the Editor, ) Sir: A famous
financier once said he regarded the
state of Oregon as his private prop
erty. That man was the lata E. H.
Harriman, and well indeed, does the
Old residents know how tru was
his boast All the people who have
had to Bhlp freight over the Southern
Pacific railroad (a Harriman proper
ty) know that the policy of the great
corporation has literally crushed the
development of the state of Oregon.
Why has the state of Washington,
with net as good resources, got twice
the population that Orsrrr-n has? I
say, that ev?ry well informed railroad
shipper will tell . you that it is be
cause Washington has Hill railroads,
r.nd because Oregon (until quite re
cently) has had Harriman railroads. I
will say, in writing this series of arti
cles to the press, I voice the senti
ments of hundreds of citizens of
Clackamas county in -regard to the
railroad situation in this section. I
and a number of others, believe the
mass of the people do not realize the
extreme seriousness of the railroad
situation, or the tremendous loss that
will accrue to the prosperity of Clack
amas county if the Southern Pacific
railroad suceeds in preventing the
building of the C ackamas Southern
railroad, which they are making the
greatest possible effort to do. With
no intentions of bui ding a road to
Molalla from Canby, the Harriman
people have for more than a ye"ar
past, been making the flumsiest kind
of a bluff at building a railroad be
tween these two points. During the
past winter the Clackamas Southern
R. R. has spent two dollars on rail
road construction t6 one that has
been spent on the Canby-Molalla road.
But about March first, last, a we!.l
known Canby man who has been
booming the road from Canby made
a trip over the Clackamas Southern
railroad and evidently concluded that
the Clackamas Southern could not be
killed, as they were laying about 800
feet of track daily. In less than one
week's time a grade crew was put on.
between Molalla and Liberal, and they
are now getting right-of-way south to
ward the Teazel Creek country.
Let it be known to everybody that
while the official name of this road is
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern, it
has vary propery been nicknamed
"the spite road." I shall now go on
to prove that P., E..& E. will not only
not benefit Molalla country, but will
be a serious hinderance to its prosper
ity. I shall show that this railroad
will injure not only all of the Molalla
valley, but Mackasburg and Canfiy as
well. The first great reason is be
cause of the policy of the Southern
Pacific to charge all the traffic will
bear on freight rates. They have a
department whose business it is to
find out about every article that is
shipped. What is the lowest price
it can be produced for; what is the
highest price it sells for; and set the
freight rate to take a'l the difference,
thus absorbing all the profit above
the barest operating expenses. To
help keep the freight rates down
there never was a time that the peo
ple of Molalla and Liberal needed the

there is a quiet determination on the
part of the property owners to sell
out and get away to other parts as
soon as it is definitely settled that the
P., E. & E. is the only railroad to be
built. There will be a fall, not a
raise in land. Of course, I do not deny
that there will be a short temporary
boom of Molalla and Liberal, but it
will not last. I spent a few weeks
in the Rogue River Valley in Southern
Oregon in 1908. A business man of
Medford said to me, "We have quite
a boom on here now, but it cannot
last unless we can get another rail
road. The Southern Pacific makes it
impossible for us to do anything, we
pay three or four times as much for
a car'oad of freight from either Port
land or San Francisco-as they pay be
tween those two cities." Southern
Pacific rates on wheat and flour from
Portland t0 Roseburg, $180. from Port
land to San Francisco, $60.
The town of Medford is covered
over at the present time with "for
rent" signs, and as a last resort the
people- have joined with Grants Pass
to build a railroad to Crescent City,
Cal., 75-miles over a range of moun
tains. And work is now going on;
this project is called the Pacific In
terior railroad. The city of Salem,
with all the advantages of the state
institutions, made but small growth
for many years until the Oregon E'ec
trlc was built there. Since that time
Salem has almost doubled her popula
tion. Comnare' the prices of land along
the Southern Pacific lines in Yamhill
county, with that along the Oregon
Electric (a Hill road) and note the
difference in growth in the two sec
tions. I am not jealous of Mtolalla,
and hope they wiU make a good town
there. I consider that the building of
a large town at Molalla or Liberal
either will help Mulino, rather than
hinder its growth, and furnish us
here with a better market for our
produce. I do not hold to the nar
row view that my town can be built
up by pulling down my neighbor
towns. But I know that a Southern
Pacific railroad cannot be a benefit to
the Molalla val'ey.
Next week I propose to put down
in cold facts and figures how the
difference in value between the Port
land, Eugene & Eastern and the Clack
amas Southern railroads will amount
to more than one million dollars di
rectly and several mi'lion indirectly,
which amount will be lost if the
Clackamas Southern is not built. I
will show that the Clackamas South
ern railroad is so near success and
needs such a small amount of money
to complete it that it is the height of
folly to set down and say that we
cannot do it. This hold-up shall not
be pulled off by that great corporation
that has cursed both Oregon and Cal
ifornia for these many years. Watch
out for another expose next week.
Yours for justice to the stockholders
of the Clackamas Southern, who have
put their hard earned money in to
one of the most important enterprises
ever attempted in the county.
Shall they be robbed by a great cor
poration? CLAUDE HOWARD.

Clackamas Southern worse than to
have it built right now.
I do not know what kind of veng
eance the Harriman people will take
upon me for exposing their secret
that they have kept from the people
of Molalla and Liberal so carefully,
but here goes any way: Heretofore,
a most all the business, both freight
and passenger, has gone to Oregon
City, where it goes to Portland by
the Portland Railway, Light & Power
Go. The Southern Pacific has not
had the business between Oregon
City and Portland. Now this line
commonly called the O. W. P. has
been very accomodating to the people.
You ride from Oregon City to Port
land for 20 cents. I have shipped cu
cumbers, lettuce and other produce to
Portland for i40 ceptsi per hundred
pounds, and they delivered it to the
commission house without extra
charge. Now that little difference of
free delivery on a few boxes of prod
uce would make all1 the difference of
success and failure in my business.
Now, the P., E. & E. are going to
spend a large sum of money to build
a railroad to Canby build a very ex
pensive bridge across the Willamette
river near New Era; build a town on
the west side at Oregon City (to the
great injury of Oregon City) ; carry
the people many miles out of their
way get once again the monopoly of
the business of the Molalla valley.
The people will pay 45 or 50 cents' to
ride to Portland on the P., E. & E.,
instead of going by the Clackamas
Southern to Oregon City proper and
paying 20 cents. Passengers may, it
Lis true, at loss of time, may leave
the P., E. & E. and walk across the ;
river at Oregon City, but freight can
not, and on this the most important i
item of all the people of the entire
Molalla valley will be powerless to 1
protect themselves against the South-!
ern Pacific monoply. Now, I submit
the development of the entire county '
depends upon getting a freight rate
to the city of Portland as low or low- i
er than other parts of the Willamette ;
va'ley. Otherwise we will not only
not get new industries, but will loose i
many we now have.
A well known business man of the
Molalla valley said to the writer, "If
we do not get the Clackamas South
ern, I will unload my land for any
thing I can get for it, and move my
business "over on the Oregon Electric.
I will not locate on a Harriman rail
road." This is exactly what the writer of
these lines will do, for he will not
stay where he. has to patronize the
Portland, Eugene & Eastern. I, know
