The plan Is to establish a corpora tion and file artlclee for the sale of the ' necessities of life. Fharei will be sold at 125 each, and but one share may be purchaaed by any one person. The ' holder of each share will be entitled to a share In the profits of the store. In proportion to the amount be purchases every month. The plan waa orlirlnated by C. E. 8. Wood and others, and la Intended to combat the present high cost of living, for which the middleman Is held re sponsible by those who advocate co operative stores. It Is the Intention to ronduct the stores in conjunction with public marketa. allowing the corpora tion to have one or jnore booths In esch of the market places proposed by the city. When the company irets e"d start. Its promoters expect to establish branches throua-hout tha state and later to extend to other states. It is also the intention to establish settlements where produce may be Brown and manufactured under sanitary condl tiona. Saadr feslrert te W Let.

Councilman Magulre moved for Its indefinite postponement. i n motlon was Immediately seconded by Councilman Clyde and the motion was sustained by unanlmoua vote. The rea son for the action was not explalnel. but It l understood It was for the pro tection of the license-holders In the outlylnc districts, who are having dif ficulty In paying th present license. IVjO. and who wouM be put out of business if the license were Increased. Councllmen Joy. Paly. Clyde. Wat kins and Matrulre attacked the present system of the utility companies d. mandinp; deposits for meters and tel ephones, and attempted to put a meas ure tirouKa requiring the companies to make Immediate extensions of lines wherever demanded and to do away silth the system of requiring bonds. The ractflo Telr-phone Telegraph Company was flayed by the Councll men mentioned, because of Its deposit system and alo because of Its slow ness In extending telephone lines. Councilman Joy said h had taken ac tion In the Council after Ave years' fruitless effort to obtain telephone service at his home. Councilman Wat kins styled the telephone company's system as an "open-and-shut swindle a-ame." Meaeare la Referred. After much argument, the measure prohibiting the extraction of bonds from patrons and requiring immediate extensions of service demanded was referred to the health and police com mittee for rea.ljustmeut. A bill. Introduced by Councilman Joy. requiring the streetcar company to keep all cars heated, was referred to the street committee.

INTERLOCK IS HELD SAFE Sand 7 Boo leva rd Plan Proposed In stead of Viaduct. Plana for a grade croeslng on Pandy boulevard and East Tnlrty-nlnth street with the main line cf the O.W. R. N. Co. are proposed, which. It adopted, will do away with a viaduct. It is called the Interlocking system, and works automatically. While a streetcar is crossing the tracks the gates are down on the main line of the O.-W. R. A N. Co, and the derailing rail ia so placed that It will be Impossible for a train to run Into the streetcar. The same ar rangement is provided for the street car line. When a train is approaching on the O.-W. R. N. line gates are lowered on both sides of the crossing on the streetcar line, and the derailing rails make It impossible for a street car to run Into a passing train. If the plan as proposed will make the crossing safe, the Rose City Park League propoaes to approve It and assist the company in having It adopt ed. At present trains come to a stop before reaching the crossing. That plan Is objected to by the O.-W. R. N. Co. It la also said that, the Inter locking plan will do away with the necessity for a viaduct, which would carry the streetcar line either above or below the railroad tracka. Property owners object to a viaduct, saying It will damage their property. PERSONALMENTION. D. B. IIUl. of Maryhlll. Is at tha Ore gon. A. C Lucas, of Bend, la at the Ore. gon. H.
