office- hers-and have not had time to
fully go -over-the franchise sltnatlOnTT
but I understand the settlement Is sat

ordered steel rails delivered st the rate
of tOO tons per month. A consignment
Is due In Portlsnd todsy, and I believe
Is now In the ysrds.
"Krom thin. point the rails will be
distributed to Ihe places needed. Most
of the construction for the . first few
weeks will b carried on from the Sa
lem end, ss railroad facilities sre mors
convenient for us at that point Our
bridges have been ordered, and prelim
inary work Is being done at the sites
for theie structures. Ths bridge aoross
the Willamette river will be 65feet
above - the river, snd - will not impede
navigation. Ws still have - some sur
veylnsf ' to be done In the vicinity of
Portlsndr-t before finally determining
the route Into this city."
Indications point to a great ' revival
of electric railroad construction in snd
I about Portland durlns the nn-Mnl

be- needed.

of ths unionising' of the Portlsnd street
railway system. Mr. Staley was the
main mover In the organisation of tlie

gan some month's ago with a proposition
that ths men be organised into a bene
ficiary society to take over and admin
ister the hospltsl fund now carried by
the company from the men's wsges.
Ths plan was to develop, from this
nucleus a beneficiary society that would
have a sick benefit, an insurance fea
ture, a social side and ' other things,
thought to be desirable, staying away
as fsr as practicable from the features
of labor unionism that havo aroused
ths extreme antagonism of corporate
Interests.' Mr. Staley has devoted some
time to study of economic - principles
