STREETCAR SERVICE Franchise Under Considera tion and Car Line Will Be Started in the Spring. St. Helens will have an electric car service within thecourse of the next two years. At the meeting of the City Council last Monday night, an ordinance grant ing to H. F. McCormick a franchise was read the first and second time and by the terms of the ordinance work on tbe car system must be started within two years, and in a recent talk with Mr. McCormick a representative of the Mist wai informed that if the franchise Was granted the active construction work would start in the spring. Section one of the ordinance ia tbe most important and we print it here in full. ".Section 1, That there Is and is here by granted to H, F. McCormick, his heirs, legal representatives and assigns, a franchise over, acros, along and upon the streets, alleys and public place within the City of St. Helens for con structing, maintaining and operating a single or double track railway, with switches sidings, crosa overt and turn outs, to be operated by steam, gas, elec tricity or other motive power for tbe transportation of passenger and freight for hire, together with the rirfht to erect instruct and maintain thereupon a line of poes for the stringing of wires for transmitting electricity and the right to lay and maintain a line of pipe for con- eying steam, gas or other fluid for power and other purposes." The ordinance also provides that after ork ia starts. I it must be continued in good faith until the line ia Completed; sets tbe price of a ride for the first ive years at not to exceed ten cents and thereafter at not mora than live cent; and makes various other provisions in regard to the pole line etc. The car service will be between Houl ton and St. Helens and the line will also run the length of tbe town along the river front. The ordinance will be altered before its final passage so as to designate more closely which streets are to be used, as it is the opinion of the council that at present it is to sweeping. The franchise is for a term of fifty years. The building of this car service will be one of the beat things that ever happen ed to St. Helens. It is doubtful if there is another town the size of this one in the country that has an electric car ser vice all Its own. But the McCormick ' figure on St. Helens making huge strides in growth in tbe next few years. It was remarked by one of them some time ago that in five years it. would be a city of 5000, and there is every reason to believe that this prediction will come true. And when this town gets that many people there will be more coming, and the growth from then ou will be faster than ever. There are at least fonr times as many people around here now aa there was three years ago, and if there is a proportionate increase in the next three years we will have some town. The McCormick interests could operate the car setvice at a cost far lea than any one else, They have their own power plant, and are figuring on increasing Its capac.ty, and after the initial cost of the line had been paid their running expense would be comparatively light. It would not be long before the line was a pay ing propoiitlon, Two Boats this Week The shipping from this port will not lie as heavy this week as usual, as there will Le but two boats obtain cargoes here, both being of the McCormick line. The Yosemi'e is here at the present time and the Yellowstone will be in the latter part of tbe week. The Yoeemite will take aliout 850,000 feet of lumber to San Pedro.
