Los Angeles men and William T. Muir
is their attorney. It is their intention
to build a railroad from Portland to
Peak, in Washington Connty, which
will be so constructed that it can be
operated by either steam or electricity
or both.
The business center of the city of
Portland is to have a network of tracks.
“ Among street railway and railroad
men the new corporation is looked
upon as a reincarnation of the Oregon
Traction Company,” says the Oregon­
ian, which was formed and exploited
some time ago, and progressed so far
as to place a few rails upon the city
end of a proposed line.” The Oregon
Water Power Company, at the time
that the other company was formed,
intended to run a parallel, or as it was
hinted, to operate the line when built.
It is said that the Oregon Water
Power Company wishes to gain an en­
trance into Washington County and
thence into the Forest Grove and Hills­
boro districts and perhaps further to­
wards the south and west. No one
seems to be able to place the exact
location of the terminal of the road at
Peak, but it is supposed to be at a
station named by the Oregon Traction
Company, along its survey made some
months ago.
Work is to begin on the new line at
the opening of spring, it is stated.
