CONTRACTS
LET FOR RAILS
ALBANY Line

Contracts for the steel rails for
the Oregon Electric extension from
Salem to Albany we're let yesterday
to the Colorado Fuel & Iron com
pany, of Pueblo, Colo, with orders
to rush the work and have it de-
livered without delay. It is expected
to have it on the ground so that
track-laying may proceed as fast as
the grading Is done.
That the company is building with
an idea of permanency is evidenced
by the fact that the contract calls
for 75-pound steel, which will be of
sufficient weight to support heavy
electric service.
Guthrie & McDougal, who have the
contract for the construction Of the
roadbed-consisting Of grading and
track-laying-haye arranged to es-
tablish offices in the Lewis building,
in Portland, from which they will
conduct their operations. SubOfiices
will be maintained at various points
along the line and will be changed
as necessity demands
The contracting firm Is a combina
tion of A. Guthrie & Co., of st. Paul,
and McDougal & Sons, of Portland.
McDougal & Sons are at present en-
gagged in making several fills on the
North Bank Road near Spokane.
Steps for the electriication Of the
new link have not been taken. Sep
arate contracts for the erection of
poles and wire will be required.

NO MONEY FOR
The LOCKS AT
OREGON CITY

That there Is now in existence no
appropriation by the state for, CO.
operation with the federal govern
ment in the construction Of the locks
at Oregon City was the discovery
made by State Treasurer Kay Mon
day.
Governor West received telegram
from Senator Bourne in the after
noon asking the state to hold itself
in readiness to assist In the construc-
tlon OF the locks should the federal
government decide to commence
work 1t was this that prompted the
state treasurer to make an eXamlna-
ton of the law making an approprl-
alton by the state for the work, and
II was found to contain a clause that
unless within three years after the
act congress should make similar
appropriation, the money appropri-
ated should go into the general fund.
The appropriation was made in
1907, and II was four years last
March since the law went into effect,
The act appropriated 100000 and It
was contingent upon like amount
being appropriated by the congress.
Should the government now de-
eide to proceed with the construction
of the locks, special session of the
legislature would be necessary In or
der to enable the state to cooperate.

SPAULDING

OF GIVING COMPANY FIRE
PROTECTION.

Declaring that the Spaulding Lum-
ber company contemplates In the
near future the enlargement of its
mill, and that it would then need ad-
ditional FIRE protection, Councilman
Low at the meeting of the council
last night, presented a plan of in
stalling cistern at Ferry and Front
streets.
The mill would be enlarged to the
extent that employment would be
given for 200 more men, he stated,
and that would mean its enlargement
to the extent that additional fire pro-
lection would be needed. With the
manager Of the company, he had gone
over the grounds, he stated, and, af-
ter an investigation he decided that
the hydrant plan would not be feas-
ible, nor afford the best projections
He favored the building Of a cistern
of a capacity of 10000 gallons. This
would cost $500, but It would pro
vide plenty of water for the protec-
ton Of not only the mill, but that
section Of the city.
The subject was referred to the
water and light committee for inyes-
tlgation.
