J E 15 NOW ASSURED llntiring Efforts of the Committee Rc- sulls Happily for Forest lirove ^ ■ grading TO BEGIN IN 15 DAYS l» ixly Teams To Be Transferred to this End of Line— Contracts for Bridge Timbers Let -•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. Mrs. Georgia Hughes, D. F. Fleck, S Bacon, N. A. Graham, Col. Harry Haynes, L. L. Hollinger, Tom Tal­ bert, G. Vickers. R. N. Varley, R. J. Tarley, S. W . Varley, Daniel Deavillr, 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. Following is the list of contributors: j J.

An interesting game of ball was played Sunday between the ‘ ‘Gales Creek W oodbeckers” and ‘ Watts District Nine.” The result was 15 to 1 in favor of Gales Creek. The Watts boys have made up their minds to prac­ tice before they agiin attempt to toss balls with the YVocdp-*ckers. The game was played on the new base ball grounds which have been es­ tablished in Hines’ field at Gales Creek. Next Sunday's game will be be­ tween the married and unmarried men of Gales Creek.
