Regarding the proposal Of the Polk

of recent issue says the following
I'm proposal read at a meeting OF
the members of the Commercial Club,
Friday night, Messrs. Geriinger and

RAILROADS TO THE COAST
Communications With Willamette VAL
ley to be Established at a
Number of Points.

Exceptional activity in railroad
building projects recently, gives
promise of an efficient and complete
system of railway communication be-
tween the Willamette Valley and the
Coast in the not far distant future.
First in the field will be the line
from Forest Grove to Tillamook,
which is being pushed forward with a
large force of men in the field. Chief
Engineer Wickersham, who is in
charge OF the construction work into
Forest Grove, as we'll as the surveying
parties working between that point
and the coast, thinks the road will be
running within the next three months.
''The road is practically done from
Portland to the Washington county
line, except for the bridges, said Mr,
Wickersham, 'and has been graded
some distance beyond there. There
are four bridges yet to be constructed
between Burlington and Summit.
From Summit on, the work is nearly
all team work and the steam shovels
and cars are now being collected and
will be sent back to Montana, where
Wrenn & Greenough have another
contract on hand. We expect to have
cars running into Forest Grove by
next September il the weather is good
and there are no unlocked for delays. F"
Three new companies have organ
lied and filed articles of Incorporation
within the past week for the purpose
Of constructing railways from points
In the Willamette Valley to the Pacific
Coast. Two have been projected for
the Coos Bay country, and one fol
Lincoln county from Polk county.
Articles of incorporation for the
Coos Bay & Inland Railroad company
were filed Wednesday, the intention
of the incorporators, according to the
articles, being to construct road
from Coos Bay Eastto Roseburg, from
which point it may later be extended
to transcontinental points. The CAPT
tai stock of the new corporation II
81 ,O00, 600, the incorporators being
) Jacob Hass, G. s. Taylor and Charles
Ringler, with their principal office a
Portland.
The Oakland & Tidewater Railwa,
Company Incorporated last week witt
a capitalization of $1,000, 900, purpose
to lay track from Oakland in Doug
u las county, to Empire City in Coo
: county.
OF greatest interest to citizens @
J. Polk county, however, is the work pre-
d jected by the newly Incorporated Inde
j. pendence, SiIetz & Pacific Railroa
Company, which will run track frol
o near Simpson to a point near Car
# Foulweather, in Lincoln county. Th
+ road will pass through some OF tn
finest timberland in Oregon, in tt
Siletz Indian Reservation and will la
tributary to Polk county, as the av
nue. of Its communication with I'll
= big trade centers, an enormous are
of the finest and most productive Ian
3 of the Coast
The construction Of these road
,e many Of which exist thus far only
prospect, will do more to give
e impetus to the development of q
coast country and to the Willamei
q Valley sections with which the Goa
a. will be connected by the new road
than any other development pro1e
that has yet been initiated for tn
q purpose.

IMPROVE OAKDALE ROAD
People of That Vicinity Build Good
Highway and Will Try For
Rural Route.

@. Nelson was in from Oakdale,
Wednesday, on short business visit.
Mr.. Nelson says that the farmers
have lust finished extensive improve
ment work on the road in that vicin-
ity which will afford at ali seasons
easy travel into Dallas or Falls City
In carrying out the work, the land
owners along the road donated labor
and implements, while a certain
amount of money was allowed toward
the work by the Commissioners
Court Subscriptions amounting to
about $50 we're also raised in Dallas
and Falls City, the money thus OBJ
tained being applied to the improve
ment work.
The people Of that neighborhood are
now in hopes of being able to secure
rural mail delivery for that section
since the only thing that has hereto
fore prevented a route being estab
lished there, has been the poo
condition of the roads, which, in win
ter, we're frequently almost impossible
With a we'll graded and solid high
way assured throughout the year, the!
feel confident that the government
will now grant their request
