To the Kditor: As there seems to be considerable misunderstanding as to the attitude of the llillslsiro committee and their associates aa regarda the proposed electric road from Portland to 1-oreat Grove, via Hillslniro, we would ask for space in your imier to bring before the people ol ashington county a tew facts relative to our position to the aunie. first and foremost, we want the road. no matter what individual or corpora tion builds it. Second, we will do all we can to help any substantial movement that will ac complish thia object, but we are quite tired of empty promises. Third, we are not in sympathy with the manner in which Mr. Andrew Gray- don has lately, and ia now handling the iroject, because there la no guarantee urnished by him that he ia able to fur nish the money necessary to build the road, even after the IIOO.OOO, or anv other sized subsidy has been subscriU'd by Washington county and Portland. And it should appear very plain to anyone that without such a guarantee his present effort is in every way quite similar to all hia other efforts for the past two years, vis: always a failure, lo calise there was never anything to back t ouly "aomelKXly a ' word, but no guarantee. Had we insisted on a guar antee at the start, the road would in all probability have been built by some one by thia time. But we had full confi dence in Mr. Graydon'a promises and assurances, both verbal and in writing, that he could do as he said, really l lievethat hedid think that he could do ao, but, haying no guarantee from hia Eastern associates, he had no founda tion for Ida promises, and was conre uently taking all the chances. So, after two years of experimenting and repeated allures we thought It atiout time to quit experimenting and wasting time and money, unless Mr. Gravdon would fur- lsh a guarantee, which he has tailed to do. And further, another reason why we we cannot co-operate w ith Mr. Gray- don is that we feel sure that he will agaio fail in thia effoit ; hence those who subscribe to take stock will be tied up to dead project, and will not be in posi tion to aid a live project until the contract with Mr, Gravdon haa expired, consequently, might be the means of delaying or obstructing an itherwise successful move. In conclusion, we wish to be fully un- erstood that we will aid to the utmost f our ability, anyone who can furnish a guarantee to build the road, if the peo- ie oi asnington county will contri ute a satisfactory subsidy.

The Oregonian says: "When Secretary oi the Treasury Shaw faces the andience at the Marquam Theater on the night of August 31, he w ill have few, if any empty lynches staring him in the face, aa returns are coining in from all sec tions of the state which indicate that there will Isj a record-breaking audience at the meeting.

If the city turns out a" strong a force as ill come from the outside, the Marquam ill haidly hold the crowd. Mr. Baker looks upon the visit of the secretary as more than a visit of a political seakcr, as there will be matters which will later re- ound to the benefit of the city and state. Taking that view of the matter, Mr. Baker haa aent invitations to the labor unions in the city, ami bases the invita tion on the ground that good will be ac complished for the city in a commercial way. That ia the view the officers of the commercial Club have taken in the preparation for tbe recaption to be ten dered Secretary Shaw.
