OfcECON CltfY COURIER, FRIDAY, AV RIL 21. 1905. 0. W. P. TRACK IN BAD SHAPE Company May Be Compelled to Repair Them. CAUSES LEAKS IN MAINS Failure of Council to Grant New Franchise May Be Responsible For Conditions. The Oregon Water Power & Railway Company may ba compulloil to repair ita traclia ou Main street in thin city, an they are in a disgraceful condition. The road bed of the company ia di rectly over the water main for a dis tance of several blocks, and unfortu nately the water main is within a few feet of the rails. This cauBes a constant jar, and an examination discloses the faot that the ties under the railB are worn in many places, the fish plates connecting the rails are loose, and the rails wobble and jar their ineffective supports every time a car passes- over them. This causes occasional leaks In the water main. The joints of the water main are leaded together, and the constant jar causes leaks to en sue. Superintendent W. H. Howell, of the water commission, said that he believed it was within the authority of the mayor to compel the company to place a solid foundation under its traoks in order that the water main might be protected, and it is expected that Mayor Sommer will take some action to this end. Some weeks ago Fred S. MorriB, of the O. W. P. & Ry. Oo., asked the council for a new freight franchise to accomodate the growing business of the oompany. It was stated that the company, providing tliia franohise was secured, would remove its traoks from over the mains and place them in the center of the stroot, at the same time making an improved road bed, as has been done m Port'laud and ohter oities. But the ordinance grant ing the franchise met with a great deal of opposition, and Mr. Morris ob jected to the personnel uf the oomuiit tee to whom waa referred the ordi nance, and refused to confer with them. As a result the committee re ported back to the council advising that no new legislation he enacted. This report waa tabled at the lust regular meeting of the council, and therejthe matter ended for the presont, but it ia expected that another at tempt will be made to grant addi tional privileges to the company. tery at Redland. Tuesday young Hid dleson left tor the timber to. work, hi f jther going to a school meeting and promising to join the boy .later. Hugh took his riflo with him, with the hope of securing some game. When Mr. Hiddlesou failed to find the boy in the timber he waa not.un easy, as he-supposed that his son had gone to a neighbor's house. When night came he made, inquiries, with out result and presuming that Hugh had gone to Jones' mill several miles distant, made no further inquiry until Wednesday morning, when he ascer tained that the boy had not been to the mill. He immediately began to search but did not find him Wednes day night, and Thursday morning or ganized a searohing party of eight men, who found the remaina within half an hour after they had set out. The body was about a quarter mile southeast of the Hiddleson home. It was evident that the boy had stepped over a log three feet through. His gun was on one side and his hat and handkerchief on the other. The log was on the top of a steep bank, and in trying to step over it, his gun had struck the log, discharging it. The ball had entered his right side, below the sixth rib, and ranged toward the heart, passing through the right lung, The unfortunate lad had vainly en deavored to step the flow of blood with his handekrehiof and had also used tobacco to stanch the wound. He started homeward, and staggered 100 feet before he fell. Hugh Hiddleson was 18 years of age last November. His mother died about two years ago, and since that time the family have kept together. The affair' is very pitiful. Coroner Hnlman impanoled a jury and they returned a verdict of accidental death. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Furnished Every Week by the Clacka mas Abstract Co.
