Oregon Electric ties advance amid rights of way standoffs
Oregon Electric Railway progress faces delay as property owners along the Hillsboro survey demand high prices for rights of way.

The piece also cites a May 4 1908 letter from J A Chapman defending Republican primary compliance and backing H M Cake for US Senate.
