road building has not entirely-
ceased in the vicinity of our coast
extension. The Spaulding people
keep a large crew constantly at
work, they logging their own
timber for shipment to their mill
at Newberg.
Mr. Mose Manson has been
made road master of the S. F. C.
& W. railroad, and is kept pretty
busy installing the many im-
provments constantly b e i n g
made. Mr. Manson is a practi
cal railroad man, having had
many years of experience in that
line and having filled a number
of important positions cn eastern
roads in this same capacity. He
has entire charge of all work
pertaining to the road-bed of the
entire system. Lately, with the
exception of about one mile yet
uncompleted, the entire roadway
between here and Fall City has
been relaid with 60-pound steel
rails, in place of the old 55-pound
iron ones, which have been taken
up for use on the spurs. This is
an innovation much enjoyed by
the passenger trafic, and is sim
ply a continuation of the policy
of the company to as fast as pos
sible have a first class and thor
oughly equipped road from Salem
to the sea.
