Oregon Traction Company
Takes Defunct Concern's
Franchises.
An electric railway S miles In length,
connecting Port Land with Hillaboro,
Cerneltue and Forest Urnvc will ba built
n1 In nnnrsrlon In time for the Lewis
and Clark exposition, if terms agreed
upon between the company ana ine
towns of HlUsbcro and Foreat Orova are
compiled with In the matter of subsi
dies. The cltlsena of Hillaboro bare
subscribed about $I0,9O and Foreat
Orove la expected to raise $20,000 to se
cure the line. The cost of the road la
estimated at $600,000. and a bond issue
in that amount haa been arranged for.
The bonds have been aold to an eastern
. invaatment company.
The project la being carried forward
by the Oregon Traction company, a Port
lend corporation, officers of which are:
President. Andrew Uraydon; secretary,
W. L. Gould, treasurer. L. T. Keady.
These men. with William T. Mulr. com
prise the directory. The capital stock la
$1,250,000. The Oregon Traction com
pany has taken over the contracts and
franchises of the Wast Bide a Suburban
Railway company, which formerly at
tempted canstruotlon of the line and
failed for lack of capital. The new com
pany Is securing renewals of the right of
way contracts along the line, and has
two engineering squads at work com
pleting a final survey and making a few
changes in the old route. At soon aa
ttuese- tasks are done gad the Forest
Orove subscriptions are completed, eoa
atructlon will begin. "We wlH lose no
time tn bnlldlng the line, as soon as pre
liminary arrangemente are completed,"
said President Qraydon. "If no hltoh
occurs in the present plans wa will have
this road running In time for the expo
sition next year." -
Tbe company will buy-powrt- from the
General Klactrlo company and from a
water power plant owned by E. W.
Haines, a banker, at Forest Orove.
The neW Una will serve a population
of about 10,000 outside of the city. Its
Portland terminal will ba located tn the
justness center, and it will give a local
service to Willamette heights and the
Lewis and Clark exposition grounds.
The route to be taken in this city is not
' yet decided upon. The franchise of the
old company provided for a right of way
on Ncrthup and Eleventh streets. The
city council, In annulling that franchise
last June, placed on record a resolution
to the affect that "any time the builders
of a line to Hlllsboro and Forest Orova
show oonvlnclng evidence that Such a
road is to be built a franchise will be
given by this city for the laying of raits
and Installing of overhead wires on
streets that will furnish a proper route
te the business center of the city." The
company Is depending upon the oouncil
to make good this resolution wtthln the

Inside the city limits the Una wUl

service wilt b given to Forest Orove
and Hlllsboro. A new suburb will ba

FREDA GARACI0 LEFT
REMARKABLE ESTATE
Oaetano Oaraclo has bees appointed
administrator of the eetate of Freda
Garacio. who was killed June 14, and
his bond fixed at $1,000. The petition
asking for the appointment is perhaps
without a precedent In trie ofice of the
county probate court. It reads:
"The estate of said Freda Garacio
consists of a claim against one Frank
Gugllelmo for Intentionally and wilfully
and maliclonaly shooting and killing her
in said Multnomah county, state of Ore
gon, on the 14th dsy of June. 1904;
that the probable value of aald claim
in Its present condition and the condi

Frank Gugllelmo Is about $1,000 to the
estate of the said deceased "

FAST STEAMER WILL
PLY ON THE RIVERS
Captain Scott Will Bring Speedy
Telegraph Here to Compete
for Fair Trade.
SHE CAN STEAM NEARLY
TWENTY MILES AN HOUR
Will Make Round Trip Between
Portland and Scenic Points
on Alternate Days.
Arrangements are being made to
bring the steamer Telegraph, the fastest
stern wheeler In the world, to Portland
from the sound, and put her on the run
between Portland and The Dallea In the
aprlng.
The steamer is owned by Capt U. B.
Scott, formerly one of the principal
stockholders In the White Collar Una
here. He sold out his interests to the
company known as tbs Regulator lino.
Captain Scott Is negotiating for land
ing privileges at the Washington street
dock.
While he has not "selected a route he
wUl probably make the round trip be
tween Portland and The Dalles one day,
between bar and Astoria the next.
There haa never bean a steamer which
baa completed the round trip on either
one of theae routes In a day, but the
captain la confident the Telegraph can
do It By alternating the run he be
lieves ha will get all the traffic that can
be handled.
The Telegraph wUl ba operated aa a
passenger boat exclusively. No atopa
will be made aX the way landing. Dur
ing the past year she haa been plying be
tween Seattle and Port Orford, and av
eraged IT miles an hour for every day
aha Was In commission. At times she
mads more than 10 miles an hour.
Captain Scott thinks the Lewis and
Clark fair will attract thousands of
eaatern people to Portland next year,
and that la the reason ha haa decided to
bring Ills steamer here. He believes h
can reap a fortune carrying visitors up
and down the scenic Columbia. As it
requires two days to go to Ths Dallea
and return, he will have a decided ad
vantage In getting the major portion of
the trade.
REPAIRS TO LIGHTSHIP.
After Vara Tsars' Continuous Service
h Will Be Olven aa Overhauling.
On January 1 the United States light
ship which haa been lying In the aame
spot off the mouth of the Columbia
river continuously for two years, wUl
go te Astoria. Her boilers and engines
are to be repaired and she may come
to Portland to have the work done.
That wlU cost no less than $2,000.
The lightship is stationed about eight
miles from Cape Disappointment and
four miles southwest of the Columbia
river bar. A gas buoy of the larger slxe
will take her place.
The ship was In the river for repairs
In 1902. She Is 112 feet long. feet
9 Inches across the beam and 12 feet 8
inches deep and ia equipped with ex
ceptloanlly heavy machinery.
Only one accident has befallen the
lightship during bar long service. On
November zs, ihs'J. sne was siruca oy
a 74 mile gate, her anchor chain broke
and carried on the beach at a point .be
tween Cape Disappointment and Mc
Kenzte's head. The vessel was not bad
ly damaged, but many thousands of dol
lars ware expended before she could be
floated.. J. H. Roberts succeeded in
hauling her 'overland a distance of al
most a mile and launched her in Baker's
bay.

UMATILLA FARMERS
REJOICE IN THE RAIN
Ralna, better late than never, have
brought hope to Umatilla wheat grow
ers. For the peat three or four days
there haa been copious precipitation,
says H. J. Taylor, one of the big wheat
men of tha famed district, which proved
the salvation of early sowings. Many
farmers believe that the dry epell had
rotted the fall seed, and that they would
have to sow again. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday showers came, and nearly
all of the fall wheat la coming through
the ground in a gratifying manner.
Some ground will have to be seeded
again, but the proportion la much
smaller than the farmers believed.
Mr. Taylor resides about eight miles
northwest of Pendleton. That section
was troubled last spring with late frosts
but he realised about three quarters of
a crop on summer fallow, which means
10 to 16 bushels par acre. That would
be a big crop In aome eountrlea, but la
