IIRST STEPS IN
MT. HOOD ROAD
NEARLY DONE
The work of the Mt. Hood Kai I road
Company has been of uppermost inter
est to all the people m eastern Mult
nomah and Clackamas counties for the
last two years and yet a good many of
the readers of the Herald do not know
just what the project is. Rather they
do not know just what the company
intends to do. The above map seems
to settle many questions that may be
asked, for it has been gotten out. we
are informed, by the authority of the
company, and if they did not intend tiie
road to eventually run where indicated
they surely would not have so mapped
their bolding?.
This map seems to
dispoy of another matter. The branch
to Bull Run is not even given here.
Evidently the main line will run
through Sandy, Cherryville “Saratoga
and eastward. The main defect in the
map seems to l»e that it has left off the
Bull Run branch. This should l>e ex
tended from the vicinity of Pleasant
Home east vard to the banks of the
Sandy.
It follows that stream to a
point west of Bull Kun, near the mouth
of the Bull Kun stream and from there
passes along its banks to the power
plant which will be located where the
word K is located on the map. The new
townsite. Saratoga, is n w on the mar
