PROSPECTIVE RAILROADS FOR SALEM.

Last week in Portland President Sproule of the S. P
Co. told the reporters that the first work that would be
done in Oregon by his company when the financial clouds
blew over would be to complete the POrtand-Saem eec
trc line paralleng their steam road most of the way
This encouraging statement showing that the
merca Importance of the Capital City recognized by
the railroad heads and that will before long be the OBJ
jective point of a new line up the valley.
Another interesting item of the same character was
the progress of the Valley Setz railroad noted last
week in the Capital Journals news columns Sometime
ago it reported the Oregon Electric had purchased
the road from Independence to Alie but this proved
mistake the s. p beating the o. f. to it. The latter
pany which is presumed to be behind the Valley Setz
has the right to the road from Independence Aire
but has completed survey for line of its between
those points This survey leaves Monmouth the east
The road is completed from Aire to about two miles
above HOskins in the valley of the Big Luckamute and
the grading completed to about nine miles beyond that
point and nearly to the Spauding logging Camps 1t is
mored this road is to be extended to the and down
it to San Francisco On the rghtofway about 800 men
at work and bridge work and grading employs about
200 more The Luckiamute valley is of the richest in
the state and is naturally tributary to Salem and it is
believed the Valley Slez will cross the river at or near
independence and come into Salem the Oregon Elec

Jonathan Bourne, jr, e-time senator from Oregon
sent check to the republican state campaign committee
for $500 few days ago. In connection with the incident
there few things worthy of special mention vOucheC

phase of the donation is its evidence on the part OF

ducts were several cents cheaper on th,

a general discussion followed during
which many questions regarding th'
new charter were answered.
William Topkis wondered if the salarl
of $1,000 a year, to he paid commits
sioners, would be sufficient to attrac
men of the proper calibre. lie said ther,
was need of a centralized authority an'

He also thought that mechanics should
be given positions by those in authority.
Mr.. Burchenal said the trainers had
tried to do away with ward and dis
trict lines and have the five commits
sioncrs elected from the city at large.
lie said n 3 mechanic was needed IN

James MCGOWAN favored a single cleo

ton. He said there was one election
held in Boston.
G. ID Garretson, chairman of the mem
bership council of the Chamber of Com
merce. asked how the city managers
were trained TO become experts. Mr..
Burchenal thought there might be some
men in Wilmington competent to hold
/ the position. DR.. Dole said some OF the
universities were training men Tor these
/ positions.
Robert Adair said II was frequently
; stated that Kent, Sussex and rural
! New Castle counties kept this city
from getting a new charter. He said
the reason Wilmington people did not
get what 1t wanted at Dover was be-
cause they always went there divided
and if they went there divided this
year. the charter would meet the
same fate as the others.
At this point the introducing OF
motions was commenced Wilbur l..
Adams wanted the association TO in
dorse the new charter and 50 moved.
Mr.. Garretson thought digest of
the charter should be Sent to each
member and a letter ballot taken SO
as to get an expression of the 1O4
members OF the association.
Mr.. Adair thought the members
were not ready to vote on the charter
as some had not even read It. Mr.
Cannon thought there should be some
expression of opinion. Harry A. Cas-
person moved that those present 60
on record as favoring the charter and

adding the result OF the referendum
vote should be published, but how the

lively protest from Mr.. MCGOWAN
Mr.. Adams and others, who declared
, it was equivalent to being afraid L
show their colors. Finally, after some
further discussion all motions
amendments and substitutes wer'
tabled and on motion by MIR. Topkii
were passed.
