NEW ELECTRIC LINES
Checker Willamette Valley With
Branches and Feeders.
BANKER ROsS CONVICTED.
BUILD 301 MILES OF NEW ROAD
Capitalization of Oregon Electric In
creased to S 10,000,000 to
Carry on tne Woi k.
Portland, April 23. To gridiron
tho Willamette Valley with electric
lines is the avowed purpose of the
Oregon Electric Hallway Company.
The original capitalization of $2,
500,000 was Increased yesterday to
510,000,000. Extensions to the sys
tem were authorized aggregating 301
miles. Work will be commenced on
the first of these lines this morning.
Stockholders and directors of tho
company met in tho headquarters in
tho Corbett building yesterday morn
ing and authorized the filing of new
articles of incorporation.
The following now lines were au
thorized by the directors of the com
pany at yesterday's meeting: Salem
to Albany, IS miles; Garden Home
to Hlllsboro, 12 miles; Hlllsboro to
Tillamook, 57 miles; Tlgardvllle to
Eugene, 125 miles; Salem to Mill
City, 54 miles, and Albany to Cas
cadia, 35 miles. Total mileage, 301.
"With tho 50 miles already construct
ed by tho company between Portland
and Salem, the construction of the
new lines just authorized will give
tho Oregon Electric 351 miles of
standard gauge railroad In the state.
William S. Barstow & Co., the en
gineering firm which builds the lines
of the Oregon Electric, has assem
bled construction materials and will
begin W'ork this morning on the Gar
den Home-Hillsboro line. Upon its
completion, attention will be turned
to building from Salem to Albany.
It is likely that at least three years
will bo required to complete tho sys
tem of new lines mapped out by the
stockholders and directors of the
company at yeslerday's meetings.
All tho now lines planned will be
uniform with the Portland-Salem
line, which is standard steam rail
road construction throughout.

Salem, Ore., April 24. Guilty of

of state school tjnds, wna the verdict
rendered against J. Thorburn Ross
by a Marlon county Jury yesterday
afternoon. Tho jury was out nn hour
and ten minutes.
From what can bo learned it ap
pears that the Jury took four ballots
tho first showing nlno for conviction
and three for acquittal.
Sentence will bo imposed by Judge
Durnett on Monday morning. The
penalty provided by law Is impris
onment in the penitentiary for from
one to fifteen years and by fine of
double the amount of tho defalca
tion.
The case will, of course, bo ap
pealed to tho supremo court, when
tho case will be tried practically
anew, for the defense objected to
nearly all the evidence, saved excep
tions, and questioned the ruling of
the trial court on all points of law
that go to tho foundation of tho case.
Attorney McCamant declined to
discuss the verdict, but was very
plainly deeply disappointed.
