ENVOY BUFFUM OF THIS CITY
FAILS TO SECURE ANY AF
FIRMATIVE INTEREST.
The Tillamook Headlight just at
hand, comments as follows on the
efforts made there in behalf of the
Oregon Coast Railway Company,
now afoot in this city and county:
"Manager Ruffum of the Bankers Sav
ings & Loan Society of Astoria was
in the city last week in the interest of
the Oregon Coast Railway Company,
and a number of business men met
Friday evening in II. T. Botts' office
to hear Mr. Buffum's plans, which
amounted to this; A company had
been formed at Astoria to run a sur
vey and procure rights of way for an
electric line in Clatsop county, the
expenses of this work being paid by
those who subscribed for stock, and
as soon as the road was taken over
or financed this money would be re
turned with interest. And so as to
continue the survey to Tillamook
City and to procure rights of way Mr.
Buff urn was wanting the people of
this county to raise $10,000. Most of
the business men present expressed
themselves by saying that they would
like to see an electric line between
this city and Astoria, but were some
what positive in their remarks that
that amount of money could not be
raised, and as to securing options for
rights of way for two years that was
considered impossible, Mr. Bufftim
met with little or no encouragement;
in fact, the meeting plainly proved
that the people of this county are not
in the mood to take hold of any new
railroad proposition of a visionary
character, and Mr. Buffum found him
self in a little hornet's nest when he
undertook to carry it into effect.
After talking over the matter the next
day and Sunday with others. Mr.
