U0VEY MARKET GETTING EASIER
E. Lytic Ssys Wsrk Will be Pushed
t a Finish
Considerable guessing bas been
done of late by Portland dailies
with regard to tbe time when work
will be commenced by tbe P. R. A
N. Co., this year, but the Argus
this week interviewed Mr. C. E.
Lytle, of this city, and from him it
was learned that there was a
strong probability that work will
begin between now and June let,
of tbe present year. One thing
which warrants Mr. Lytle in bis
belief that the Company will be
bis to proceed with its work, is the
fact that tbe money market is get
ting much easier, and as it will re-
lUire large amounts of money to
prosecute the work of extension
from Hillsboro to Tillamook, the
condition of the financial world will
have every thing to do with the
matter.
Mr. Lytle is hopeful that conditions
will be such as to warrant the vigorous
prosecution of the work which will con
nect HUIstjoro to the sea, and savs that
once begun, the road will be pushed to
completion, as originally intended. The
road, as far as completed, is one of the
finest on the coast, and the company will
put in the best of material, thus insuring
splendid line. I lie Slcuibe Construc
tion Company will do the work, and that
is evidence that it will be well done.
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER
