Snit for a restraining order to prohibit the Welch' lines of the Portland, Eu gene & Eastern from doing work on Front street, in this city, and also to revoke the franchise of the lines here, was started In Circuit Court today by City Attorney Corby and his associate counsel in the case, John A.

The Southern Pacific has a line . covering Front street at the present time, but the franchise expires September 18, and it is understood that an agreement has been reached be tween the Welch lines and the South ern Pacific, which would allow a physi cal connection and give the Southern Pacific right of use of its old line through the more recently acquired Welch franchise. V If 3 'I "if "H THOTOGRAPH OF WRECKED UMPQUA BBIDGR, WHICH FERRY WILI, REPLACE TEMPORARILY. ROSEBURG, Or., Aug. 31. (Special.) Realising' the necessity of ? leans of transportation whereby the farmers living east of the Ump ua River can haul their products to the nearest markets, the County Court has already completed arrangraents for the establishment of fer ry service at a point a few yards north of the spot spanned by the Ill-fated Umpqua bridge, which collapsed last Thursday. A crew of carpenters will be placed at work in a few days, and County Road Master Ryan believes that the ferry will be in operation in 15 days. Upon Investigating the wreckage resulting from the collapse of the bridge, the authorities find that it will be almost lmppsslble to clear the river until late this Fall, or at least until such time as the water rises considerably. It Is the belief of the county of floers that little of the material used in the construction of the ill-fated bridge can be saved, as it is badly twisted and wrenched. HEW-POS T REFUSED W. P.
