THE MORNING OREGONIA?, MONDAY, (XJTOBER 17, 1904.
THREE ROUTES PROPOSED
ELECTRIC ROAD TO TROUTDALE
WOULD HAVE SOME CHOICE".
Any of Projected Lines Would Ternv
inate at Columbia RiverFarm
ers Seem in Earnest.
There are now thrfee routes proposed
for an electric railway from Portland to
Fairview and Troutdale from Cedarville,
one the Oregon Water Power & Railway
Company's Gresham line, two miles west
of Gresham; an extension of the Monta
villa branch of the City & Suburban Rail
way Company by way of the Barr road,
and an extension of -the Portland ' Rall--way
Company from Woodlawn northeast
to tho Columbia Eloush county road. The
people of Falrvle-w and Troutdale say they
are not much concerned which route Is
selected.
Any of the three lines would terminate
at the Columbia River at Troutdale at the
mouth of Sandy River, where a steam
ferry may be operated on the Columbia
River, connecting at La Camas and the
rich district on the Washington side. It
Is claimed that an electric railway be
tween Portland and the terminus on the
Columbia River would be ,a big paying
proposition, provided a steam ferry be
placed on the river. The ferry would
carry all the teaming to Portland that
now goes by way of Vancouver.
Tho Pairview Push Club has appointed
a committee to confer with the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company. P. A.
Morris, of this company, went over the
entire route from Cedarville to Trout
dale, which is more than any other rail
way manager had done before, and he
eaid" he would put a steam ferry on the
Columbia River if his company built the
line. While this route would give the
desired railway connection with Portland
it would not develop the country between
Pairview and Portland as such a railway
along the Columbia Slough or "by way of
Slontavilla.
Lukewarm About Railroad.
Over a year ago, at a railway meeting
held in Fairview, many representatives
from Columbia Slough -were present, but
most of them were lukewarm about a
railway that would want a right of way
through their front gates, or some por
tion of their farms. There is small hopes
of the County Court giving any electric
railway a franchise to build a line' on
a prominent county road like the Colum
bia Slough road. It was then proposed
that the county road be widened to SO
or 90 feet, taking strips from both sides
for this purpose, and then the clectrjc
railway could be built on one side without
interfering with the public. While the
matter was talked over nothing was done,
and the project of bJilaing from Wood
lawn has been sleeping, -until recently tho
Columbia Slough people have awakened
to the fact, that unless they do something
they will lOBe electric railway connec
tion with Portland, and a meeting has
been called tit Fairview for next Friday.
The route along Columbia Slough road
would undoubtedly -pass through one of
the richest countries anywhere, hear
Portland. What tho farmers are pre
pared to offer by way of Inducements
will probably be developed at the coming
meeting. The route by, way of Montavilla
is the shortest direct route to Portland,
and there would bo only about 10 or 12
miles of track to lay to -reach the Co
lumbia River by way of Fairview and
Troutdale., A vigorous effort is now be
ing made to get an electric railway on
one of these three routes mentioned.
The New Road to Oregon City.
C. F. Clark, one of the promoters of
the new electric railway botween Oregon
City and Portland, on the- East Side, said
yesterday there was a constant flow of
letters from the money centers of the
East asking about the enterprise. One
was written offering to finance the rail
way on certain conditions. Another of
fer comes from Portland to build the
road outright provided that a certain
subsidy per mile is raised. All sorts of
inquiries have been received, and to all
these answers have been sent. While no
definite results have yet been secured out
of the work that has been done, Mr.
Clark feels highly encouraged over the
prospects. Owing to tho unsettled affairs
of the City & Suburban Railway Company
and the Portland Railway Company, no
answer as to whether the consolidated
company will consider a proposition to
build the road or not, has been received.
Mr. Clark says that the farmers along
the lino are organized to keep up the
agitation until they get an electric rail
way, even if it takes several years. Tho
enterprise has attracted so much atten
tion abroad that hopes are entertained
that outside capital may bo induced to
take hold. He says that railway men
who have investigated the proposition
have admitted that it would be a paying
proposition, basing their judgment on tho
resources of tho country through which
lhe route runs.
THINKS CITY SHOULD PAY COST
Committee Reports Against Bridging
Sullivan Gulch.
The Sullivan Gulch bridge committee
held a meeting yesterday afternoon in
the office of Joseph. Buchtel, and after
thorough consideratlsa decided that It
would be impracticable to build elevated
roadways or bridges across Sullivan
Gulch under tho present plan of district
assessments, and that the only feasible
way to build bridges would be by -issuing
bonds. i
It was also the judgment of the com
mittee that tho present elevated roadway
on Union avenue, now closed to teams
and used by the cars of the Portland
Railway Company, could be made safe
for the use of tho public for the expen
diture of a sum not to exceed $1000. H.
H. NodhalL chairman of tho mass meet
ing and of the committee, presided. Jo
seph Buchel reported that he had talked
with C. X. Harbaugh, of the Oregon Real
Estate Company, and he expressed tho
conviction that the only right way to
build such bridges as are needed across
Sullivan Gulch was to issue bonds so
that the whole city, which benefits from
them, should pay for them. Mr. Har
baugh, who represents perUaps 3000 lots
in the district, said that he could not say
whether the Oregon Real Estate Com
pany would sign a petition for elevated
roadways or not.
Mr. Buchtel also spoke of the nncer
taint .surrounding the plan of district
assessments even if tho petitions should
be sighed, and of the great cost of ad
vertising, besides which Attorney New
ion McCoy, who prepared tho petitions,
had expressed a doubt whether they
would be legal if carried out. It ap
peared to him that it would bo wasto of
time and effort to circulate the petitions
for elevated roadways. This opinion was
concurred in by all the members of lhe
rommlttee.
On motion tho secretary was authorized
to lay the situation before the Executive
Board, setting forth the great inconven
ience the public is suffering through the
closing of the Unlon-avenue. bridge,
which hampers the Fire Department and
divides tho Bast Side into two parts, and
asking the Executive Board to repair
this bridge so it can bo used -until a new
structure is erected.
By resolution also the committee de
clared that In its Judgment all such
bridges should be built by issuing bonds,
and that the charter should be so amend
ed at tho coming Legislature so that this
ran be done. Tho committee Jias wrestled
with the bridge -question 'for several
weeks. When the committee undertook to
raise some money to meet the . cost of
circulating the petitions those Interested
offered no encouragement.
Welcome to Former Pastors.
Rev. J. E. Snyder, formerly pastor of
the Third Presbyterian Church, occupied
the pulpit of that church yesterday, and
was given a hearty welcome by the con
gregation. Mr. Snyder was pastor of the
Third Church for about two years, when
he resigned to become an evangelist, and
then was called back to Brownsville. At
the Mlzpah Presbyterian Church Rev. W.
T. Wardle, a former pastor, was present.
At both the Third and Mizpah Churches
new buildings have been put up since the
pulpits were occupied by these ministers.
Union Avenue May Revive.
The new elevated roadway on Union
avenue, between Belmont and East Madi
son streets, is completed and thrown open
to the public, and the remainder of the
avenue south to Hawthorne avenue will
soon be finished. Here tho surface Is
simply regraveled. There is a revival of
business on Union avenue that threatens
the prestige that Grand avenue has held
for many years. Teams have been driven
from Grand to Union avenuo by the bad
condition of tho roadway between East
Stark and Pine streets, which is really
dangerous, with no prospects of its being
repaired. Union avenue lost its business
years ago because the roadway became
unsafe and trade was driven to Grand
avenue. The situation now seems to
have been reversed.
New Pastor's First Sermons.
Rev. T. B. Ford, D. D., the new pastor
of the Sunnyside Methodist Episcopal
Church, preached his first sermons yes
terday morning and evening to large
congregations. Mr. Ford received a
hearty welcome, and expressed, his pleas
ure in being called to serve the Sunny
sldo Church.
SITAEE STORIES ARE TRUE.
Millions of Reptiles Infest 'Klamath
Region, Played With by Children.
Something over a year ago an article-
was published in the Oregonlan.
a sort of "fish story" about Klamath
Lakes and the myriads of snakes re
ported to swarm about their shores, at
tributed to on5 "Bishop Barkley," a
politician and preacher, well known in
parts of this state.
-. The truth of the etatements made
were not vouched for, but it was
promised that they would bo. investi
gated and results reported, and the
trend of the article was inclined to pre
vent readers from accepting the state
ments as gospel truth till the facts
had been verified. Yesterday H. G.
Grimes, an old-time settler of the
Klamath region, who is in the city,
called at The Oregonlan office and
hunted up the writer of the snake
story to ask if tho statements given
had ever been attested.
Ho was told that no one had ever
offered to verify them, ,and said that
he had called for that purpose. He
said that the number of snakes had
not been exaggerated in the least, for
at the proper season in the spring
thereworo millions of them and many
were as thick as his wrist. They Were
harmless, being a kind of water snake,
and boys and even girls did not hesi
tate to seize one four or five feet long
and swing it around over their heads
for" fun, but the snakes did not seem
to derive any amusement from the pro
ceeding. There are myriads of frogs
in the lakes, and in the Spring, when
the tadpoles hatch out, they appear to
emigrate from one lake t3 another and
tho snakes follow them.
There are also vast schools of "suck
ers," a fresh water fish, called "mullet"
by some, which inhabit the Klamath
Lakes, and in the Spring swarm up
small streams, running into them in
such vast numbers as to fairly choko
them. The snakes also prey on these
fish, which are too large to be swal
lowed whole, but a snake will fasten
to one and hold on like grim death till
ho tires it out and then devour it at
leisure, the same as a cat would. In
the schools of these suckers many will
be seen with wounds or spars on them,
where they have been seized by snakes
and have succeeded in breaking away
from them.
A few years ago some Eastfern show
man or proprietor of a zoological
garden had a thousand or so of these
snakes caught and shipped to him,
probably to be exhibited in his show
or to be used by snake charmers, who
probably passed them off for cobras or
some other poisonous snake and won
admiration for the fearless maner in
which they handled the harmloss rep
tiles. In regard to tho matter of hogs eat
ing these snakes, and even being fat
tened on them to be slaughtered and
made into hams, bacon, etc., Mr.
Grimes would not speak definitely. Ho
was Inclined to think that' Bishop
Berkley's statements on this point had
been exaggerated by himself or some
ono else. And while admitting that
razorback hogs miglit eat snakes when
hungry, he had never seen or heard of
hogs being fa'ttencd on snakes. Ho
says that as the country around the
lakes Is settled up, the snakes, frogs
and "suckers appear to beco'me le3s
numerous, and thinks that in a few
years the stories about them will have
been forgotten.
'MAYOR COMES TO LEARN.
L. F. Boyd, Head of Spokane's City
Government, a Visitor.
Mayor L. F. Boyd, of Spokane, is in
the city to learn from tho administra
tion of Mayor Williams, in order that
ho may be able to return to his home
and clean Tiouso a little, if perchance
he finds anything hero that will. neces
sitate such a move.
Mr. Boyd Is In Portland for several
reasons, and all of them are educational.
He Is a man who was raised as a boy
in i'oruana wnen the town reached no
farther back from the river than Fourth
street and now as a man at the head
of a large and growing city, he comes
back to the homo of his youth In search
of information for the brightening and
adornment of his own adopted, home.
Spokane Is about to have a now city
park and a zoo and hearing that Port
land bad the best park and the largest
zoo on the Coast, with the possible ex
ception of San Francisco, Mayor Boyd
decided tp Journey to this city to look It
over. Ho will go out to the park today
and look over the appointments of the
menagerie, learn how the animals are
handled and kept, and in fact learn the
zoo business from first t6 the last.
Mr. Boyd also wants to 'find out about
bridge flooring, and will take a course
from the City Engineer or who ever
it is that knows how to put a floor on a
bridge that will not wear out Spokane
has several bridges and In the past has
had a hard time to keep the floors in
repair. The rumor reached that city
that "Eortland had a way of paving its
bridges across the river that made them
last for many years, and the Mayor
from the North will try to carry the
secret homo with him when he returns
in a couple of days.
A little course in municipal reform is
also blocked "out In tho mind of the
Mayor, ,and today he will take the first
lesson or ms post-graduate course from
Mayor George H. Williams, the head pro
fessor of the, department in the North
west. "I think that Spokane is a pretty clean
little town and Is as quiet and orderly
as the average, if not more so." said
Mayor Boyd last night at the Portland
Hotel, "but I want to see If I can learn
anytnmg oi interest to me in carrying
on my administration, and so I have
come to Portland.
"One of the first public men remembered
by me was George H. Williams, the Attorney-General
of the United States, and
I am sure that I will have an interesting
taiK witn mm wnen x meet him tomor

kane," continued. Mr. Boyd, "and there
are but a couple of things that are yet
to bo overcome, one of which Is the sa
loon box, the other the box In the variety
theater. When I have these closed the
town will be on a par with, or in advance
of, with any town In the country.
"I do not think that It is a good policy
to try to do things all at once. If you
go too far with a reform you press public
ssntlment and there is a reversion to the
liberal Ideas and all that has been gained
is lost. I think that Spokane is in a
fairly good condition now and that the
rest will come as a consequence of the
education of tho sentiment of the public."
Mr. Boyd will remain in Portland for a
few days making his Investigations, when
he will return to his home by way of
Seattle and Tacoma.
