Mr. Ilolilnger's acting waa extremely clever and nil during the play his acting waa highly appreciat ed, (iaylord Godfrey as Obadlah Daw son, "Ilia I'ncln From Japan," on many occasions brought down the limine by hla wll, and was well suit ed for the part be took.

X ASKS FOR FRANCHISE SOUTHERN PACIFIC SEEKS RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH MILWAU KEE FOR CUT-OFF. $2000 PER YEAR ASKED Council of That City Want $2000 Per Year for Ule of Streets and Eight-Mile Speed Limit. A special meeting of the Milwaukee City Coiiifcll was held Tuesday night In llm city hail to consider the fran chise asked by the Jk-averton & Wlllaburg Railroad. George C. ilruwn ell, of Oregon City, attorney for Mil waukee, was present to adviso the city (jlllcinls in regard to the legal ques tions Involved. The right of way begins at the south boundary Hue of the city .about 100 feet north of the O. W. V. trestle crossing, one of the outlets of Kellogg lake. The track will skirt the bluff, after crossing the Willamette river, Just below Oswego, coming Into Mil waukee on a per cent grade, cross lug the O. W. P. track on an over head crossing, 20 feet above, and thence over the lake. Into the city limits. Cuts from two to fourteen feet will be made at various places between the south line of the city to the Scott property, and from thence the grade will be level to WIHsburg. The council proposes to grant a franchise on the following termB: The company to build a viaduct over the Milwaukee Heights road 12 feet above the street grade, make a nil over Kellogg pond and provide a walk for foot travel; all streets crossed to be brought up to the grade of the rail road track; company to pay the cost of sewer and water mains underneath Its right of way; speed of trains" lim ited to eight miles an hour; freight and passenger depot, either of alone or brick or concrete, to be construct ed, and a telegraph and Wells-Fargo agency to be maintained; all through trains to stop at Milwaukee; $2000 a yi'ar to be paid during the life o! the franchise. J. W. Morrow, tax and land agent of the Southern Pacific expressed himself as being satisfied with the conditions Imposed with the excep tion of the last two, which he claims his company will never agree to. Con siderable discussion took place, and citizens present were Invited to state their views. F. H. Lechler, O. Wis- singer. Captain Shaw and others spoke In favor of the franchise as It was presented, and believed that the Coun ell ought not to recede from Its stand Mr. Morrow asked more time In which to consider the matter, and It was voted to meet again Friday night, February 20, again to take up this question. Mayor Streib, having expressed him self opposed to a franchise longer than 50 years, It is doubtful If the company will get a perpetual fran chise as asked. Mr. Morrow expects to acquire private right of way Im mediately after his company has se cured the franchise. CLUB WILL INTERVIEW GROCERS The Forestry Situation Is Discussed by Women.

Mrs. U'Ren served a luncheon to her guests. One new member was taken into the organization, and an other name proposed fur membership. REESE DAUGHERTY DEAD. Well Known Resident of Clackamas County.

After the marriage ceremony Men delssohn'B Wedding March was beauti fully rendered, and Mr. and Mrs. Cooper left for the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank. Busch, where a recep tion was given In their honor. The bride looked beautiful in an Empire gown of white Swiss over white silk, and her long veil was held In place by orange blossoms.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. Busch, where the reception was held, was artistically decorated in cut flowers, ferns and palms. The dining room, where the wedding supper was served, was particularly attractive with Its decorations, it being iu pink uzallas, pink carnations and ferns. From the corners of the room to the shaded electroliers In the center, were fes toons of white crepe paper entwined with sprays of smllax. Oregon grape was used to form a canopy over tho table. Mrs. Busch, who had charge of the decorations of her home, dis played artistic taste. Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, who are very popular young people, were presented with an array of handsome pieces of cut-glass, silverware and rare caina. After the reception ihe happy couple left on their honeymoon, their destination being Southern Cali fornia, and upon their return will go to Woodburn, where the groom Is owu- er of the "Midway Stock Farm."

ESTACADA MEN FINED Writ of Habeas CorpLa Brings Case, Before Judg-j Dimick In toe County Court. Ed and Al Close were-arrested at Estacada and convicted Tuesday be-' fore Justice of the Peace, F. M. Gill, on one of six counts charging viola tion of the local option law, for sell ing intoxicating liquors within the corporate limits of the city of Estaca da. Justice GUI Imposed a fine of $100 on Ai Close and 20 days In Jail, while $150 was the amount of Ed'a One with 10 days in Jail. The men were arrested on com plaint of Mayor Helyman, who charges the defendants with selling Intox eating liquors to Fred W. Robin, pur ported to be a detective in the em ploy of the Antl-Saloon League. It Is said Robin came to Estacada ome weeks ago and posed as a laborer. Ho secured work In a local lumber yard, and frequented the place of Close brothers after working hours. In his testimony against defendants, Robins testified he bought a number of drinks at the place, and on February 4. about 10:30 P. M., he bought a bottle of whiskey from the proprie tors. Each of the defendants has sued out a writ of habeas corpus In the County Court, and Judge Dimick has set the hearing for Thursday at one o'clock. The charter of Estacada gives the right to license saloons over to the city. The men were tried and sen tenced under the state law. Now the point involved Is whether the Justice Court has jurisdiction over the ques tion, as to whether or not the provi sion of the charter of that city ex empts the sale of liquor from the local option law and places it with the City of Estacada, as does the Medford charter, which was recently decided by the Supreme Court. The Estacada charter was passed by the legislature after the local option law was adopt ed. The question, Is of vital importance to the people of Estacada and will be , carefully considered by the court. HERBERT HALL KILLED. Former Oregon City Mart Struck by Falling Tree.
