Prediction Made That Ruby Will Be come Important Station. Gresham A large platform and commodious warehouse have been built at Ruby, the station at the cross ing of the Mount Hood road and Troutdale branch of the O. W. P. line. It was used for the first time on Mon day morning, when the milk train from Estacada switched in from Linneman Junction and relieved the Mount Hood train of its cargo of milk for the Portland market. The milk train then returned to Linneman Junction and awaited the Troutdale car with its load of milk and the whole cargo went to the city in one consignment Making Ruby an important station on the system was not predicted when the Portland Railway, Light & Power company took over the Mount Hood road. An agent will be kept there and a new business center is likely to spring up as a rival for some of the older places to compete with. HIGHER AUTO TAX URGED.
