It is estimat ed that the additional capitaliza- XT 1 .1 lion win provide lor the new lines planned. If insufficient, however, the company is prepar ed to secure whatever amount is needed for the work. The plans of the Oregon Elec tric to develop this state with trolley lines is the most impor tant railroad announcement Port land has had since the North Bank road was projected from Pasco, Wash., to that city. It means the development of the Willamette valley to a remarka ble degree for the system of roads mapped out will serve the territory to be entered in the most satisfactory way. The following new lines were authorized by the directors of the company at Wednesday's meeting: Salem to Albany, 18 miles; Garden Home to Hillsboro. M2 miles; Hillsboro to Tillamook; 57 miles; Tigardville to Eugene, 125 miles; Salem to Mill City. 54 miles, and Albany to Cascadia, 35 miles. Total mileage, 301.

WEHRUNG & SONS He Has Made Good. The following concerning a for mer Hillsboro boy is taken from the Los Angeles Times of April 14: "United States Dist. Atty. Os car Lawler yesterday announced the appointment of Frank Stew art as his second assistant, to take special charge of iiostal cases, lie was admitted to the Federal court on motion, and will take up his new duties next Monday. Stewart has been in the postal 1 service eight years, and as an in-! spector for this district, he has 1 earned an enviable reputation for j keen, faithful work. Since his; appointment in l'JOf, he ha3 han dled some of the biggest criminal cases that have come under the supervision of the federal officials and his careful preparation of evidence has almost invariably ed to indictments by the federal grand jury. In ferreting out the Ollie J. Watkins swindle, he won the ap probation of the entire depart ment, and his persistent and re- entless pursuit of the wny swin dlers is mainly responsible for the indictment of all the associ ates of the late general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Association. . In other matters, not as spec tacular. Stewart has "made good," and he is considered one of the best posted inspectors em ployed in the west. His know- edge of law aided him matenal y in his work. He was admitted to practice in Oregon, after a course of legal training in law offices and the law department of the University of Oregon. He accepted the position.in the United States District Attorney's office to enter a broader field of practice than that afforded by the postal service. Owinir to the rapidly increas ing amount of postoffice business that has required lederai prose cution dunng the past year, Lawler considered it necessary to secure the appointment oi a man familiar with that branch of criminal practice, and Attorney General Bonaparte authorized the increase in the office force." Frank Stewart was bom and raised in Washington county, and is a nephew of Mrs. 1 A. iood, of this city. He left Hills boro some eigni or nine years l i r ' J - i ....ii t-vs ago, ana nis menus nere win glad to learn that in the battle of life he has "made good." His father, Thomas Stewart, aieu about 15 or 18 years ago, and his mother later married Dr. Adkins, who is still in business here. She died some five or six years ago.
