Willamette Valley Southern
. to Connect With Heart
- of Timber Land
J Construction of 21 miles of
standard logging railway by the
Easterii &. Western Lumber com
pany of Portland from Molalla,
on the Willamette. Valley South
ern railway,1 into the heart of the
lumber company's timber holdings
in southern Clackamas county,
wiU be undertaken at once by
James F. Clarkson, who has the
construction contract.
, It is estimated that it will take
two years to build the line; which
will be electrically operated, as is
the Willamette Valley Southern.
The .plan is to bring the logs to
a dumping and rafting, site on the
cast bank of the Willamette river.
, According to F. H. Ransom,
manager of the Eastern & West
ern Lumber company, the recently
acquired timber tract contains
about 1,000,000.000 board feet of
logs, and the mill, at the foot of
Twenty-first street, which has
been equipped for electrical oper
ation, will consume 100,000,000
feet of .logs yearly.
Ir recent years the Willamette
Valley Southern railway has been
operated at a loss, but the new
traffic to be carried by It will
avert the necessity of the Portland
Electric Power company having to
make up operating deficits. The
construction bonds of the Willam
ette, Valley Southern were guaran
teed' by the larger company.. F.
D, Hunt, traffic manager of ; the
Portland Electric Power company
nays the traffic furnished by the

be sufficient to meet the gEr !
demand. Before the season
