WORK RESUMED ON
OREGON ELECTRIC;
Road Will Reach Albany about1
. June Ist.
Track laying was resumed yester
day on the Oregon Electric this side;
of Salem, with practically a full crew,,
and as few of the I. W. W. in the gang
as possible. With the kind of weather
now prevailing between one and two
miles a day should bc laid steadwy,
perhaps two, though it is doubtful if
that much has yet been laid in a day.
There is some distance yet before the
Santiam will bc reached.
Mr. Wickersham, the engineer re
ccutly stated that thc rails could bc
laid to Albany in two weeks, rollow
ing thc delay it will probably be J
after the first of Tunc before trains
can bc run to this city.
Thc trolley crew, though, arc close
behind the track layers, and wilK
reach the city almost as soon, gen
erally following within a mile of the
layers.
It is said matters have been ar
ranged now so there will probably be
no more strikes, and if any not of a
character to interfere with thc work.
