TO BUILD EAILBOAD
TO THE COAL FIELDS
(Special Diipatcb to The Journal.)
Oregon City, May 7. F. M. Bwift of
Portland was in Oregon City yesterday
in the interest of a Portland syndicate
which proposes to build an electric line
out of Oregon City to the coal and
cement fields In the eastern part of this
county.
A preliminary survey of the pro
posed route had been made about two
years ago as far as Bcotts Mills for a
company that was organized at ths
time to put a road through that section
of the county. Bince then all rights
of that company have passed into the
hands of the new syndicate, and. the
recent discovery of valuable coal and
cement fields at the proposed present
eastern terminus of the new road makes
the construction of the road a desirable
proposition and a good Investment.
Parties left this morning to try to
secure rights of way from the farmers
whose lands are on the lines of tho
survey, and if the same can be secured
without any trouble the construction
of the roadbed followed by the ' track
laying will commence forthwith. -
Oregon City will be the main terminal
potnt where connections can be made
with the Southern Pacific, O. W. P. and
Willamette railways and the water
transportation companies.
If built on the proposed route the
rotid will go through Beaver Creek, Mo
lalla and Stotts Mills, thence to Butte
Creek and A"blqua, tapping a heavy tim
ber country, and thence to the newly
discovered mineral regions.
This road will open up a new coun
try and make the lumber Industry boom
in Clackamas county. With the coal
mines being operated the question of
cheap fuel for Portland and vicinity
will be solved.
