Commutes la Appointed To Enjoin, If Necessary, Passage of Ordi naries by Council. A n-solutlon, protesting against the pro powij action nt the city council In grant ing to tlir Bout hern Pacific Company a p-rpctunl franchise to llluff street, was iinunlmously adopted at a muss meeting of cltlxens at Willamette Hull Wed ni'siluy evening. 0 A committee wua appointed to enjoin any attempt on the part of the city coun cil to pass the franchise ordinance In Its present form. It was the unanimous sentlmeat of the meeting that the city council by the ordinance Is seeking to give to the railroad company an un ending franchise to the property rights to which the municipality was given ab solute title by a recent decision of the stute supreme ccjrt, after much expen sive litigation. The members of the committee named ut the meeting, In addition to Chairman Hedges, are: C. H. Dye. C. II. Cautleld. W. 8. U'llen, W. A. Huntley, and T. W. 8ulllvan. The committee was directed to confer with the railroad authorities and the members of the council with a view to deferring the further considera tion of the ordinance until It could be modified to the satisfaction of all parties Interested. A refusal to grant the post ponement will be followed by the Issu ance of an Injunction which will have the effect of postponing the matter until the franchise can be made an laaue In the annual election In December when a mayor and three councllmen are to be elected. J. J. Cooke culled the meeting to order, and having stated the purpose for which It was called, J. E. Hedges was made (hull man and W. B. L' Hcn. secretury. Speeches III opHjsltlon to the ordinance Were mude by C. H. Dye. C. Schuebel. J. E. Hedges, W. 8. t' Hen. T. V. Bulli- Van, and O. W. Eustham. Mr. Hedges made a cleur exposition of the ordinance In its objectionable form and declared that In Its present form It Is asulnlne and nonsensical so fur as being; fair and rea sonable to both parties interested. He asserted that the franchise b" decidedly unl-lnteral mid that the city will receive pructlcnliy nothing in return for the valu able rlKhts that It is proposed to be surrendered by the municipality. Mr. Hedges was not only opposed to a per petual franchise of any description, but he saw In the franchise under consider ation many faulty conditions. Kor In stance, provision Is made that the work on the Improvements by the railroad company shall not be made within thirty V'vs after tl'e pnssai?.' of the ordinance. hut there is stated absolutely no time when the work actually shall be perform ed. Other defects, decidedly In favor of the railroad corporation, were pointed out. Mr. I "Ren spoke briefly, but he stirred up something of a hornet's nest when he declared that ht believed that either the mayor or members of the council knew very well why such a rigorous ef fort is being ma'ie to pass an ordinance that Is so objectionable in Its provisions and opposed to the best interests of the people of the city. Mayor Dimlck, who was In the audience, was called for. Mr. Dimlck denounced the tnuendo that either himself or any member of the council Is being unduly Influenced in the consideration of the franchise In favor of the railroad company. He claimed that as in. 'in bets of the city council all are actuiK in good faith, believing that the city is receiving full value for the concessions that it Is proosed to make. Mr. Dimlck contended that the railroad company already has a perpetual fran chise to a former rittht of way by the terms of which the lines 'of the com pany's tracks were not definitely fixed and explained that the ordinance now being considered had for Its main pur pose the permanent locating of the com pany's tracks with soma slight conces sions. A representative of the Southern Pacl Ilc Company was present at the meeting and when requested to address the meet ing ns to the probability of the railroad corporation agreeing to a modification of the ordinance, stated thut he was present merely In the capacity of an In terested listener and was not prepared to say just what the railroad corporation might or would do In view of the oppo sltlon that had been manifested towards the franchise. After some further discussion, the res olution was unanimously adopted. Other than Mayor Dimlck and Councilman Knupp and Sheahan. no other represen tatives of the city council were In at tendance. On motion of C. H. Dye, a committee of five members was appointed to wait on the next legislature and secure an amendment to the city charter prohibit ing the granting by the city council of a permanent franchise to any Individual, or corporation. Chulrman Hedges named the following gentlemen on tlm commit tee: J. J. Cooke, O. YV. 'Eustham, J. W. Loder. C. Schuebel, and V. R. Hyde. ' Something About the Controversy. Public opinion has become very much Interested In the consideration of the railroad franchise as it should be. The members of the city council are the au thorized representatives of the people of Oregon City who have the right and It is their duty to express their approval or opposition to any and all important measures that may be presented for the consideration of that body. It Is also right and proper that these public ex pressions of approval and disapproval should be made before the measure un der consideration has been Anally dis posed of. But there appears to be evidenced a disposition not to consider this fran chise on Its merits; but rather to asso ciate therewith the fate of the South End road, now nearing completion. Many friends and the conscientious members of the counr l. who have advocated and labored for the building of this new road, contend that the opposition that Is be ing offered at this time to -the passage of the Southern I'aMflc franchise ordi nance Is but a cloak being used by the opponents of the South Knd Koad to delay, and perhaps. Indefinitely postpone the completion of that thoroughfare, in this the Enterprise Is of the opinion that a mistaken Impression has been formed. We believe that the members of the city council a majority of which has favorably reported on the ordinance In the present form are actuated en tirely by honest and sincere motives with every concern for the best Interests of their constituency. We are of the opinion that In their enthusiasm for the completion of the South End road, the majority of the council Is being unduly Influenced to a favorable endorsement of the franchise In Its objectionable form. The Enterprise has always advocated the building of the South End road and we feel that an early completion of the road should be had. Thla Improvement possesses merit. Its completion should and can be accomplished without grant ing the extravagant requests that have been made by the railroad company and cleverly Incorporated Into the franchise that la now being considered. That the opposition to the proposed franchise as it Is drafted. Is Intended purely as an obstruction to the building of the South End Road, Is unquestion ably erroneoua. In conversing with the Enterprise this week, a member of the council, who has always opposed the building of the South End road, because he questioned the feasibility of the Im provement, stated that In event the franchise was altered so as to limit It to a term of years with certain rights remaining to the city, he would cheer fully support and vote for an appropria tion from the city with which to Immedi ately complete the South End Road. But the Enterprise again reiterates that In our opinion the practice of grant ing to a private corporation of any des cription, a perpetual franchise to valu able property rights Is contrary to public policy and which In this instance, is without any Justification. In all of the negotiations looking to an adjustment of the question of property rights be tween the city and the railroad com pany, the representatives of the Southern Pacific Company have been extremely gentlemanly. They submKted to the city a proposition asking for the concessions that are covered by the ordinance which the council la disposed to enact. On the theory that you never get anything ex cept you ask for It. the agents for the corporation are certainly not to be criti cized esjieclally when one councilman testified that he favored giving the rail road company even more than had been asked. The Enterprise Is pleased t note that the growth of the Southern Pacific Com pany's business at Oregon City necessi tates the building of additional side tracks and the extension of others now In use. We hope to see the time when a main double track and several other side tracks. In addition to a large modern depot building, will be required for the accommodation of the company's local freight and passenger traffic. But our position opposes the granting of the per petual and Irrevocable franchise that Is proposed without the slightest reserva tion as to street rights In the Interest of the city. The railroad company is abun dantly able and, willing to render full value received for the valuable rights that are asked and It Is up to the city council to see that the rights of the individual are fully protected in what ever adjustment may be had of the pend ing controversy. TO GATHER AN EXHIBIT. Clackamas County Farmers May be Rep resented at th 1905 Fair. Pursuant to a. published v call Issued the members of the county court, there will be held at the county court house next Thursday a convention of the pro ducers of Clackamas county. The con vention has been called to determine whether or not Clackamas county shall prepare an exhibit of Its resources to be displayed at the Lewis& Clark Fair in lielo. Clackamas county Is so conveniently located to Portland, that an exhibit of the resources of this county could be collected at little expense and the ad vantages that would follow such an ex hibit would be great. It was considered best to have the farmers and producers take the Initiative in the matter and for this reason the convention has been called. The number of delegates to the meeting next Thursday is unlimited since the farmer is to consider himself a regular delegate and attend the con vention. By the united efforts of the farmers of the county a splendid col lection of the ngrlcultur.il and o'her resources of the county could be col lected for exhibition purposes. Humbly working as a clerk In the Indies' department of the People's Ware house here. In order that from her 110 a week pittance she may save enough to release her absent husband from a $14. OOrt responsibility. Is a woman who until a few months ago. was president of the State Federation of Women's Clubs, a leader In Oregon society, and wife of a man then reputed one of the wealthy operators of the country', says a Pendle ton dispatch. The .woman is Mrs. C. B. Wade, wife of the departed cashier of the First National Bank' of Pendleton, the man whose sensatlonaf" failure for over 1200.000 a year or so ago threw Umatilla county Into a partial panic. All the way from Honolulu, where Mr. and Mrs. Wade went 'after the crash that wrecked her husband's fortunes, came Mrs. Wade, asking hi credf If he might return to Pendleton. ' They told her, It la said, that until the obligation relating to the Craig estate, involving 114.000. was settled. Wade could not re turn. It looked like an Immense sum to the once wealthy woman, but she brave ly set to work to meet It. At 110 a week. were she to devote evers cent 6f her salary to this purpose, she would be 27 years paying off the allegeddebt. If she were to devote to It only, what she could save after supporting herself It would take the plucky woman half i century to bring her husband back. OIL FOR THE ROADS JUDGE RYAN WILL TRY AN EXPF.R j IWENT NEXT YEAR. I Suggested by Recent Visit to California I Several Oregon City People In Golden Stat. County Judge and Mrs. T. F. Ryan re turned Monday evening from a three weeks' absence In California, where Judge Ryan attended as a delegate from this state the Grand Conclave of the Knights Templar and the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. Judge and Mrs. Ryan also visited Los Angeloa and other Southern California points and did considerable missionary work In dis tributing JO, 000 pamphlets advertising the Lewis It Clark Fair. These were circulated largely among the Eastern del egates to the two 'lodge meetings, many of whom Indicated a desire and Inten tion of taking In th 1506 exposition, but they hesitated for fear sufficient accom modations for the Increased number of visitors might be lacking. Tbey were assured by Judge Ryan that ample ac commodation for the entertainment of all visitors to the Fair would be pro vided before the opening of the exposi tion. "The Clackamas county court will next year experiemnt with oil la the building of two miles of road," said Judge Ryan to the Enterprise. "This crude petroleum Is used on all of the country roads and many of the streets In all California counties and towns and the result Is most satisfactory. It la said to make a water-proof road and If such la the case it is just what we need In Oregon. At any rate my observations fully warrant the making of an experi ment here since the cost of this road building that Is the cost of oil is only 1150 per mile, and the road so treated, will endure from two to three years hard travel. But with all their oil,' con tinued the county Judge, "California roads do not surpass our roads right here In Clackamas county." Judge Ryan met a number of former residents of Oregon City who are now located in the Golden 8tate. They are all willing and anxious to return to old Web-foot. James Roake and wife are at Ixng Beach, bitt their residence there is not of a permanent character, as was observed by Judge Ryan who notices the following sign displayed on the premises: "For Sale or Will Exchange for Any Pfoperty In Ortgon." O. Love Joy and family are living at Monterey, where they are engaged In the general merchandise business. Arnold Gregerson and family and Rev. O. W. Lucas, for mer pastor of the Oregon City Congre gational Church, with Mrs. Lucas, are located at Pacific Grove. While these people are all doing well, reports Judge Ryan, they would gladly return to Ore gon. "The principal Industry in Southern California Is the tourist." said the Judge, who then told, of his visit to Los Angeles and neighboring points. "The tourist la the main source of revenue to a great majority of the cities and towns hi the southern part of the state. Every con 'nience and luxury la provided at the hotels and various resorts, but the tour ist pays the bill. This Is particularly true at Los. Angeles, Monterey, Santa Bara and Pasadena. But I am Impressed with . the public spirit that was every where In evidence. The Callfornians annually spend an enormous amount of money In making improvements of a public character. They are extravagant if any thing, in the use of electric lights. The entire country' 1 lighted sjlth elec tricity." Dr. G. L. Tufts, superintendent of the State Anti-Saloon League, In a speech at Pendleton Wednesday night, said the counties . which the league expected to carry for the abolition of saloons are Tillamook, Benton, Polk, Yamhill. Lane, Douglas. Crook, Wallowa, Morrow, Mal heur, Wasco, and Linn. He said an election would be called for in each of these counties and if prohibition did not carry In the counties as a whole it would be enforced In precincts giving a ma jority for prohibition.
