Hearing Protests. ,
' x t .- . v . .
Farmers living along the proposed
right of- way for the Portland Mount
Hood railway have decided not to pro
test againat the building of the road.
The sense of a meeting held this after
noon In the county courtroom waa that
the road will do a great deal more bene
fit than harm.
Some weeks ago tha commissioners
notified the property owners along the
route that today had been aet aside for
tha hearing of protests againat grant
ing the company a right of way along
the county road. The road In question
is only CO feet wide and .for. a time the
feeling was general " that tha electric
line would make the thoroughfare too
narrow. This feeling, however, seems
to have passed away. Between 10 and
to property holders were at tha meeting
this afternoon, but ' the sentiment In
favor of making no proteat was almost
unanlmoua. " Dr. M. Or MeCorkle. - who
has been looking after the right of way,
says that he has secured all concessions
necessary aa far east as Greaham.
