Om Priccto All Undertaker & Embalmer or at Cisr Store opposite Bank WOULD GIVE IT ALL COUNCIL FAVORS GIVING 8. P. CO. PERPETUAL FRANCHISE. Ordinance In Present Form ia Against Public Policy City Should Reserve Soma Rights. Only slight ultrratlona wre made In the Southern I'aclnc franchise ordinan-.-e that Is unuVr consideration by the City Council at a special meeting of that body Monday night. In Its present form, the ordinance pro posea the granting liy the city to the railroad company of a perpetual fran chise to the property It now occupies on liallroad Avenue tog.Hher with addi tional franchise rights. The Enterprise contends that the en actment of the ordinance as It la now drawn up and as published In another column of this week s paper, would be contrary to public policy. Thla paper also ventures the opinion that If sub mitted to a vote of the Interested tax payers the meaaure aa it la now framed, would be defeated. A great many citlea are prohibited by charter from granting perpetual franchises and while there la nothing Ir. the Oregon City Charter to prohibit the council from making such concesHions. it seems that good objec tions ran be urged against the practice in thla city. With the exception of Alderman Justin, all of the members of the council were In attendance at the meeting Monday evening, ua were also a large number of Interested citizens. Superintendents O'lirlen and Fields, accompanied by the corMratlon s legal advisor, represented the railriMid company. Acting City Engineer Kunds suggested that It would be against public policy for the clly to grant the erpetual fran chise that was proposed by the ordinance, lie though that before the council acted Dually on the ordinance. It would be a good plan to have staked off the llnce of the proposed right of way grunted by the franchise so that It would lie pos sible to ascertain Just what the scope of the franchise Is. Similar objections were registered by C. H. Dye who spoke f.w interested taxpayers. The remarks of these two gentlemen brought forth sharp retort from Councilman Kelly who alleged that t tl ll" Kelltlcmell were present to "knock" tlie South End Uuud and by their objection defeat. If pos sible, the completion of that thorough fare, which is one of the conditions as sumed by the railroad company under the ordinance granting tN- peretual f ranch l.-c. After a protracted discussion, some slight chillis:. -a ere made to the ordi nance. The h.lKht of the lU'dcrground nludway at Tlvrd s'reet .is o.t.- H fleet Instead of 14 feet. That part of the ordinance which gives the rullroud com pany a franchise to erect and maintain a water tank and section and tool houses in Itallroad Avenue was changed so that the city grunts only a permit for the malnteiiai.ee of those structures. Other wise, the terma of the proposed fran chise remain practically undisturbed. It appear that anxiety for the com pletion of the South End Road has In fluenced ! mujorlty of the council to grant the railroad company a perpetual and Irrevocable franchise right to Rail road Avenue. This should not be. The South End Road Is now suHicicntly com pleted to Insure Us construction at nn early date and this work ran surely be accomplished by the county and' city without n cei.itatlnp .lie making of any such extravagant couc-ssions ns Is pro posed In tl:e 1iiiin.-e. The Elite! pi i. ma not wish to be cnslili , J as "knocking" the South 'Slid Road for It wo'.ll not purposely pnw the slightest obt triictioi. In the way of its spec.'... completion This paper ad" rat"d the bollilln; ot this road and ns a consequence loct considerable business because of its pjiit:oii, but It Is tin t. i.ded by the japcr that the bulldin- of any road or other avenue that opens up to k community a new and heretofore unttnuhle section of the country .'s a public improvement that invariably j-is-tilies Its cost. I. ut the city tins ether Interests Hi Make than th inMplt tion ot this i'.-pi-riant road, and t-.e Interests should not be sacrificed Ibac the one need '.lay I realized. Trm the railroad company estimates ttie cost of the Improvements it has agreed to make at about J-'O.OOii. but, as we have ;.sf.a before, other nia 1 t:ie opeuliiK ui1 of :h.'

The buildini; of these un- erouml cross, nn will facilitate th il eretion of th-.' oi ipany's trains and diminish the liability of accidents in the local yards. Hut the plan to grant the company a perpetual franchise to the rights' now en Joyed by the corporation and convey ad- lltlonal riKhts for the same period with out the slightest reservation In the city's interest, la not in harmony with public sentiment. The city council should not surrender these rights perpetually ir. do ing so should at least place some limi tations to the scope of the franchise granted and provide some protection for the people of the community. The ordinance, as published In the En terprise li.ls week. Is In the form that It is proposed to pass it, and should be carafullr read by every resident of this city. If you think It Is entirely prer for the council to surrender to the rail road company for all time the rights siec',f.td In the ordinance, well enough, hut If you are of a contrary mind and think that some limitation should be placed as to the tenure of th franchise, reserving to the city some rights, make It a point to attend the next meeting of the council and voice your aentimenta.

Edwin C'reflleld. the apostle of the Holy Rollers, after a sensational rambling speech In Judge Bears' court yesterday. In which he confessed, und iioted Scrip ture In extenuation of his crimes, was found guilty by a Jury of having sustained Improper relations with Mrs. I. Starr. While admitting his guilt, and saying It was hard to be confined to a lonely prison cell, CrefTk-ld said UimI was on his side, and will see to his vindication. Judge Hems Instructed the Jury that Creflleld might be acquitted If he was found to be Insane, and this should be stated In the verdict. The Jury returned a verdict of guilty at 11:30. after Ja minutes" delibera tion, and at 2 o'clock C'reflleld, having requested that sentence be pronounced, he was sentenced to two years' Imprison ment In the penitentiary, which Is the maximum penalty. When asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced, he answered. "Noth ing." and ufter the Judge had passed Judgment the prisoner said, "God bless ydu." Saturday's Oregonlan.

The finest crab apples ever seen at the Oreon Agricultural College were for warded by Hon. J. S. Edwards, of Dell. Malheur county, last week. In size. flavor and general appearance their equal has not been seen by the authorities here. The fruit was raised on land adolnlng field of alfalfa that produced three crops aggregating eight tons to the acre, at a net value of 13 to $10 per ton. The land la u light volcanic uah and under irrigation produces marvelous results. This land which in Its nutlve state can be had for l'J.55 per acre is worth when irrigated $40 to $30 per acre and under proper management can tie made to pay for Itself In a single year.

Miss MeCarty over a year ago sued the false one for $70,000 for breach of promise, and at the first trial of the case a jury' In the United States District Court returned a verdict in her favor for SJJ.5U0. " Jude Bellinger set the ver dict aside und granted a new trial, which occurred last spring. The verdict this time was for $10,000. and Judge Bellinger again interfered, cutting it down to $''.. lino, with the proviso, however, that If Heryford refused to pay the amount the verdict of $10,000 should stand. This meant that if un appeal was taken by either side it must be on the $10,000 ver dict,.

How the Candidate Must Proceed to Accomplish His Popular Indorsement. "What must a man do who want a Republican nomination for a county of fice In Multnomah county, under th new primary' nominating ek-ction law?" was today asked of W. 8. L' Ren. who was one of the principal advocates and workers In behalf of this legislation. "He must sign a letter addressed to the county clerk and the people of the county, atating that he is a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office he wants," replied Mr. U'Ren. "H may set forth. In not more than a hun dred words, any principles of measure) he especially advocates. Then his friend. If he has any, will take a petition which Includes a copy of this letter, and get signature to the number of 2 per cent of the Republican vote cast for congress man, which In Multnomah county. I be lieve would be about 226 registered Re publicans. Hvery circulator of the pe tition makes an affidavit that the sig natures he has obtained are genuine and that he believes the algner are quail fled elector and registered a member of the Republican party. Thl petition is filed with the county clerk who will then print the candldate'a name on the Republican nominating; ballot. He mar also have printed after hi name on tha nominating ballot, in not more than twelve words, any distinguishing meaa ure or principle he wihe. All the can didate ho to do after that Is to get mora Republican votes at the nominating elec tion than any other Republican candi date for the same nomination." "How long doea a candidate hare to get up his petition?" was asked. "Practically four months, that is, from January' 1 to April 1." "But," interposed the reporter, "What if the machine should call a conven tion and put forth a complete list of can didates for nomination, then get up pe titions for each, and by Its striker, carry them through at the primary. Will the law allow anything of thl kind?" "There is nothing in the law to pre vent the regular machine from putting forth a candidate for nomination, for every office; by the aame token the Simon machine can do the same thing and thus learn which faction really ha the most Republican votes. The Democrats cannot help either faction. But suppose either one machine or both machine do put forth a full list of candidate for all nominations, what a beautiful tempta tion It would be for Malnrkey, Notting ham tt Co .4 slate breal.er. to run m be . .t if iKa 1 U' f (i e f Inn iween. aiiu . agree on a list of candidate for nomi nation to be presented to the Republi can voters at the primary election, the Individual breakers can smash a slate to many pieces without half the wide and favorable acquaintance and the politi cal experience and skill possessed by Malarkey and Simon." I'nder the operation of the direct pri mary nominating law. which will be ap plied for the initial time at the next gen eral election, nominations for state offi cers will be made under the same mods of nroceedure. except that the letter. in which the individual announce hi) candidacy, must be addressed to the Sec retary of State with whom the petition must also be filed. There must be on the petition signatures representing 2 per cent of the total Republican vote of the State which number shall include elec tors residing In at least one-tenth of the precinct In each of at least seven coun ties. The primary election will be held 45 days before the date for the regular June election. This will bring the pre liminary election for determining the nominees about April 15, the time that state and county conventions are usually held. The candidate for an office on each party's direct nominating ballot that receives the greatest number ot votes will be declared the party's nomi nee for that office. ' By the provisions of the direct pri mary' nominating law. there can be only three political parties In the state, since to operate under the law, every' party must poll at least 25 per cent of the total vote of the state. For the present, at least, there will be recognized but two parties, the Republicans and the Demo crats. The Prohibitionists and Socialist will continue to nominate their tlckets by convention or petition as has been their custom In the past. Neither of these two political organizations can pro ceed under the direct primary nominating law until the total vote cast by either equals 1'5 per cent of the total vote of the state. The candidate for office In any county (Continued on Page Five.)
