E. BUNN Seventh and Center C. H. DICKEY CARVER WANTS JITNEY. Asks City of Portland for Franchise for Motor Buses.' Stephen Carver, sponsor for the Portland & Oregon City Railroad, running from Portland to Stone or Carver, is before the city commis sioners of Portland with a request for a franchise to permit him to operate motor bus lines on the east side in the metropolis. The important parts of the requested franchise are the agreement to pay a $10,000 bond, and the provision for a transfer system over any of the lines it covers. Ac cording to Portland jitney drivers this franchise will mean the death of the famous flivers, for they cannot com pete wtih the Carver system. The proposed franchise, which was approved by the Portland commis sioners, provides for the operation of large buses over routes from Fifth and Alder streets out Stark to Bel mont and to East Sixtieth. A branch line is proposed from East Fifty second street at Division to East Fifty-ninth and Foster road. It is Mr. Carver's intention to have the bus line conneict with his , railroad near this point. The franchise is sought under the name of the Port land Trackhss Car company, and will be allowed by the commissioners. Last week Mr. Carver started the operation of a motor bus on the tracks of his railroSd through Clack amas county. This curious car is a reconstructed automobile with iron wheels in place of the ordinary ex tremities, It has created consider able interest along its line of travel. Council Takes Ride. A new automobile fire truck sold to the Portland department, was brought to Oregon City on Tuesday for the inspection of the Oregon City council. A. J. Long, sales agent for the machine, put the . apparatus through its many paces, making it climb all the hills in the city with a load of 15 persons, for the edifica tion of the councilmen, They were evidently satisfied with their inspec- ton and with the performance of the machine.

Story is by no means settled, it ap pears at this time, according to those who are giving attention to the mat ter, that the council will declare Mr. Story elected to the position of city prosecutor and that Mr. Schuebel will be retained as an attorney to fight the court actions involving this city. Mr. Story and Mr. Schuebel were candidates at the recent election for the position of eity attorney, although no such office is provided for by the city charter. They really intended to seek election to be city prosecutor, and since such was their intention and as it was so understood by the majority of voters, it is probable that Mr. Story will be installed. Mayor E. C. Hackett has taken the stand that the intention of the vot ers was reasonably certain and that the council should not hesitate in per mitting Mr. Story to take up the du.' ties of the office with the beginning of the new year. Mr". Schuebel has launched a number of important court battles for the city, including the con test over the title to the Willamette river basin at the south end of Main sreet, which is pending in the su preme court on appeal by the P. R., L. & P.,Co. In view of these facts it is Portland Agents for Butterick Patterns and Publications Latest Fall Styles Now Shown Store Opens Dally at 8:30 A. M. Saturdays at 9 A. M.
