-•Much Committee
Work to Do.
A
We are practically safe in saying
|that the electric line into this city is
Ian assured fact. There has been a
I great amount of work done ty the
lcommittee since the matter was first
| put up to the citizens of this place by
■ the Oregon Electric company.
The Mass meeting of Monday even-
ling was one of the best ever held in
[this city for any purpose and the en-
Ithusiasm that was evident is accounted
for by the fact that the town is alive to
I the need of this railroad.
Besides securing rights of way and
I concessions on properties, the com
mittee has been busy solicitating for
the project and up to the hour of going
to press $5,485 have been raised.
The estimates made by the committee
of the required amount to insure the
completion of the road is $6000 which
will cover all expenses with a possibil-
. ity that there will be some money re
turned to the subscribers, and if this
can be done everyone will receive
| back pro rata of his contribution.
The meeting Monday night, which
I was held in Masonic hall, was largely
I attended. E. W. Haines, chairman of
the Railroad committee from the Board
I of Trade, gave a short address and
i stated what the company had offered to
I do. The proposition which was pub-
[ lished in last week’ s News was read
together with an additional letter which
[ was received from the company Mon
day evening, stating that the company
had decided that the Y line was the
one it chose to use and it is the one
that enters the center of the town with
the terminus in the McNamer lot on
Council street. Following his address,
J. A. Thornburgh, cashier of the For
est Grove National bank, read the let
ters from the company and also the list
of subscribers who had pledged money
during the afternoon. Just $3105 was
raised in four hour’ s work and it acted
as a stimulent to the meeting for in
less than two hours $1100 more was
raised, bringing the
amount up to
$4,205. Rev. C. F. Clapp had the
soliciting of funds in charge during the
meeting and his success in this line
cannot be discounted in the state.
With the raising of the above amount
the road is assured, but there is plenty
of work for the committee to do yet
before
cars
running
into this
city. The progress in securing rights
of way have been very satisfactory and
the following parties have either given
the required ground or conceded cer
tain conditions that will be met by the
committee: Beginning at this end of
the line the properties have so far been
secured: John McNamer lot for termi
nal grounds, J. B. Cox, J. B. Fields, J.
J. Crossley, Mr. Mott, Free Methodist
Church,
Pacific
University.

and several others whose names are
not at hand.
It is understood that the Oregon
Electric company have given contracts
to local raillmen for bridge timbers and
switch ties so thoroughly are they
convinced that the road is assured.
The company will
transfer some
sixty teams to this end of the line
within fifteen days and the grading
work will be pushed forward with all
possible haste.
