church last evening. The meeting
was under the leadership of P. e.

of this, as we'll as of the other meet

of not only united desire and pur-

vile, and with railroad conditions so
created because of the proposed con-
struction of these lines--at least the
first-that the Portland, Eugene &
Eastern Railway Company will be
compelled to enter the field and battle
for it's share of territory, it begins to
look as though Salem and it's tribu-
tary country will be the scene this
year of interesting railroad q 'licitics
and building and that its people will
witness a pretty race between the two
roads for territory.
A Fight for Territory.
To those conversant with railroad
conditions in the country, the m
nouncement of the Oregon Electri' t)
extend its lines, especially from this
city to Albany, is the second move be-
tween the two roads on the railroad
checkerboard. The first move was
made in the fight for this territory,
it is said, when A. Welch, manager of
the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
road, and also manager of the North
west Corporation, went East Tor the
purpose of prevailing upon the capi-
talists back of the road to build it
from here to Eugene this year The
Oregon Electric people, so the story
runs, learned that Welch had received
every assurance that the money nee
essary for the construction of the road
would be forthcoming, and also for
it's extension from here to PortlauG, !,
and decided to make the next move,
and Manager Talbot hurried east for
Oregon Electric as to the extension
of it's line from here to Albany, and
that they are favorable to it is ad
mitted by Talbot himself, and the con-
struction work of the line will un-
doubtedly be taken up just as soon as
the preliminary arrangements can be
made.
Third Move Now Being Made.
The third move on the checker
board 1T is said, is now being made
by Welch, who is in the East confer
ring with the capitalists interested in
the road which he represents, and it
is predicted by those conversaut with
the situation that when he returns it
will be with a guarantee of the neces-
sary money for the construction Of
the road and that construction work
on the road from here to Eugene via
Albany will be taken up this sum-
mer. 1t is pointed out that in way
the preliminary arrangements had
been made some time ago, but the
fact that the Oregon Electric decided
to invade the territory at once neces-
STATED a few changes in the plans,
and that this accounts for Welch's
present mission in the East.
