MAY HAVE
TWO ELEC
TRIC ROADS.
The extension of the Oregorf Electric
to Albany this year is assured. Prep
arations are being made for its comicg.
Mr. Stevens, though, first will select
the survey, one of three. At the same
time corvallis is making an effort to
have the road go to Eugene by way
of that city, and the Times-Gazette
says the commercial club has appointed
a special committee, consisting of Judge
MeFadden, Judge Woodcock, Senator
A. J. Johnson, W. F. Groves. A. P.
Johnson, W. P. Morgan, B. W. John
son, John F. Allen and Victor Moses -
to seo me mil people and convince
them that the distance can be shortened
thirty miles between Portland and Eu
gene by taking thd west side. It be
hooves the east tide to be good and
treat the Oregon Eloctric fairlv in the
matter of rights of way. It is too big a .
ming to monKey witn.
Now comes the Salem Journal and
states that the other road, the Port
land, Eugene and Eastern, will also be
extended this year, commencing con
struction work in the summer, and that
the Washington Oregon Corporation is
oacK ot it, una will liniince ic Accord
ing to this report Allmnv, Eugvne and
Sulem, in which the Company now has
systems in operation, will be connected.
As Albany is between the two places
whichever way the road builds this city
will get an advantngo early. The com-
Eany already has a franchise here and
ence tnat part of it is attended to.
