CONSTRUCTION
SOON TO BEGIN.
New Routes are Being Located Ma-
terially Aiding the Sub
scriptions.
We are reliably informed that the
Oregon Traction Company expect to
begin grading on the Portland end of
its line in a short time. Surveyors
have been at work within the city
limits of Portland for the past two
weeks, relocating the line on easier
grades and through a more desirable
locality than that over which the former
line ran.
The line as now located crosses
some large tracts owned by wealthy
people and they are subscribing liber
ally to the fund required to be raised
by the eastern capitalists— in fact they
have guaranteed to raise half the
amount called for by the contract.
Messrs. Graydon and Keady expect
to close up all the matters pending
along the entire proposed line in the
next three weeks and shortly thereafter
the real work of construction will be
commenced and pushed with all pos
sible speed to completion.
