Don ald in Portland thi week, and chatted with him reirardino th n n roponed branch line to Hilleboro. Mr. Donald iawell known to Iiilla- Iwro eople aa the chief engineer of the Oregon Klectric Line, and in answer to a query, he stated that work would positively begin on tbe lilUhoro branch at tbe earliest possible moment the weather con- litiona would permit. The ground ia now full of water, and grading under preeent conditions would b an impossibility. The Oregon Klec tric people have all right of way mature arranged, and there will be nothing to interfere with the work. once it ia started, and they, more over, are anxiou to get the road completed. These people do not hire brass bands, but have a way of doing things, and leaving tbe result for other people to comment upon. If we should have an early Spring, the work will begin early. Kel estate along the proposed line ii already receiving an upward im pulse, and many Pnrtlandera will no doubt buy subuiban homes along the line Hilleboro ought to bent-Qt by an increase of popula tion. That Hilleboro people will be able to ride to Portland on trol- ey car before the rummer ia over, enia very probable.
