Official confirmation has been
received of the project to ch ange a
portion or tne westsiae raiiroaa irom
steam to electric power. The plan
now is to run a trolley from Port
land to Forest Grove, and connect
their with steam cars to Corvallis.
The increased traffic between Forest
Grove and Portland, and the
necessity for more trains, is the
principal reason advanced. The
report of the expert on the matter
of cost is all that is delaying the
project

convinced as to his rights in the
matter. Both men are in bad
blood and trouble is sure to develop
unless their friends interfere to pre
vent a clash.
