Corner Stone of the New Edifice
Laid To-Night
The comer stone of the new Con
gregational church will be laid to-night
at 7 o’clock. A brief program will be
given in honor of the event. Hon.
Alanson Hinman, one of the oldest
living pioneers of Washington county
wi'l lay the comer stone. Prof. Rob
ertson, of Pacific University who is
well versed in Oregon History will read
a historical sketch of the church,
covering its history from the beginning
in the early forties. Remarks will be
made by Rev. Cephas Clapp and
others. The church which burned
some three years ago, was built in
1858 and 1859 at a cost of 87,000 It
had hand planed doors and seats, in
fact the entire finishing was of hand-
plained material. From now on con
tractor Starrett will push the work of
construction and by the holidays the
new structure will be completed.
The Electric Road
The electric railroad proposition
from Portland to Forest Grove is more
nearly an assured fact than ever before
in the history of the road. It is now
up to the citizens in and about Forest
Grove. Every person in the county
should be vitally interested in its
construction.
Arrangements have been so fax com
pleted that, if reasonable assistance is
given by citizens of Forest Grove and
vicinity, the road will be rapidly built
and put into operation next spring.
The company asks that our people take
stock in the enterprise to the extent
of 825,000 and does not require one
dollar to be paid until the road is built
and in operation. This proposition is
certainly fair. Every dollar subscribed
now to aid in the construction of the
line will be returned manyfold on the
increased business and higher value of
property, which will surely follow the
completion of the road. Wonderful
developments occurred in erstem lo
calities where these lines have been
built. They stimulate business of all
kinds and build up a business of their
own and the people now served by
them wonder how they have been able
to exist heretofore without them.
In this locality fruit, farm and
garden products can be laid down in
Portland in the early morning, thus in
suring the very best markets. The
passenger equipment will be of the
highest class and cars will leave either
end of the line every hour from 6
o'clock in the morning until 11 o’clock
af night, thus permitting patrons to at
tend places of amusement in Portland
and return the same night. The
eastern capitalists who will fur lish
money for construction of the line are
urging the company to complete its
local aid arrangements at once, so that
work may be commenced without de
lay and it is imperative that the matter
be closed up promptly.
Every citizen should take a personal
pride in seeing that this enterprise is
not permitted to fail for want of proper
encouragement. Subscription blanks
can be had of Judge W. H. Hollis,
Secretery of the Forest Grove Board of
Trade and you are requested to step in
now and make your subscription and
render the road possible at an early
date.
