fault Thursday night a n urn lie r of cit-
¡sens gathered in the town hall to dis
cus« the all-absorbing topic of the new
railroad. Mr. Linney said that owing
to the exorbitant price asked for the
right of a ay by a few of Gresham's cit
izens across their pro|M*rty, President
< lark bad decided to camel all contract*
¡lOMible, ami run the road around the
town. This, <4 course, created some
consternation among the citizens, some
of whom were very emphatic in coodem-
rning the action of the railroad com
pany, and some were equally emphatic
in endorsing the stand taken by the
company. Outside of the discussion,
nothing of imj*ortance was accomplished
at the meeting, except that Charles
Cleveland agreed to give |ftO toward the
right of way.
Since writing the above a number of
business men beaded by Dr. J. M.
Short have interviewed Mr. Clarke, the
president of the Mt. H» xm ! Railway, who
yielded to the offer made by the citizens*
committee, guaranteed ng the right of
way through the town for & certain »urn
of money, and has signed an agreement,
in consideration of the bond signed by
tlie citMens, to run this line through
Gresham on the original right of way.
This forever settles the railruad ques
tion and now Gresham can prepare to
grow am] prosper as situation and re-
sources demand.
