Xo Ilonil Sato Necessary "Tlio starting of construction and the completion of. (he road, at least n far an Tnkilimi, according to our agreement with tlio city, in not de pendent upon the sale of stock or of bonds," said Mr. Twohy at the coai mihhion meeting. 'We propoc to do this upon our own rcnoiirees. We have the cpiinit'iit now htnnding idle for uso in building and we have much of the equipment necessary for op eration. Neither is it our intention to take the time limit in building the vunoiis units. Wo are gong to press bidding operations', and there is no reason now present why the road hhould not bo completed to Hoys hill within sixty, or at. the most, ninety day. Wc are more anxious upon thfa point than you people can pos sibly be, for we feel that the. tonnage at thu copper mines and in the Illi nois valley forcnt and fields must be made available before the road will lie a paying property." "Laborer can be obtained nt al most our own figure in Portland at the present time," remarked Mr. Q'wohy. ".Nevertheless, we are not hunting cheap labor, and while $2 seems to be a ruling wage for common labor, wo are telling Mr. Harmon (o employ local wen as far as iM)sibIe, and ho is authorized to pay $2.25 for common labor nt thin time. Wu nre leady to proceed with the spending of onr money upon this project even before, the. details ure all arranged, for wo nre. anxious to get speedy ac Hum. It may bo that the dealing of lite right of way from Wildoivillo may bo contracted for with local people, so us to give (hem all employment and buyo the work ilono now while the ground in in the best shape.

"While the nrrnngcincht with the city of Ornnts Pass takes into considera tion only the line to the Illinois vnl ley, the plans for tbo road arc un changed in n general way. The name 'Oregon & Cnlifomin Const Line rail vond' seeais to cm or the ground thoroughly, and thnl will undoubted ly remain the name of the rond.
