THE MOBiNTNGr OREGONIAN WEDNESDAY. 0.CTOBER 15, 1902. IDENTITY fordrStreet Franchise Radi cally Changed . BY COMMITTEE ON STREETS Portland Rallvrar Company to U ridge Canyon With Driveway Old Franchises Not Confirmed Question of Earnings Tax. The ordinance granting the Portland Jtallwav Company a franchise to con struct and operate a line from TVashing 'ton street up Ford and along other streets to Portland Heights was taken up by the Council committee on streets yesterday afternoon, -considered by sections, and so thoroughly amended that its best friend "would hardly recognize it Two whole sections -were eliminated, and one of them ;was the last, which a majority of the iCouncilmen thought implied an extension sot the present franchises. In conformity with this view, clauses having any ref erence to the lines of the company were stricken out, and then further considera tion of the ordinance was postponed 'un til 7:30 o'clock next Monday evening. The principal matter which will then come be fore the committee will be ihe question of compensation to the city, and Presi dent Paxton, of the railwar company, was Invited to submit estimates of the sum the corporation should pay. The meeting was attended "by all the bnembers of the committee, and also by iCouncilmen Albee and Foeller, City At torney It. A. McNary, Senator Henry ii.. McGinn, Representative Dan J. Malarkey, Attorney S. B. Unthicum and Graham Glass, representing the remonstrants; Whitney I. Boise, representing property owners who favored the granting of the franchises with certain restrictions; Pres ident Paxton and General Manager F. I. Fuller, of ' the railway company, and a number of others, j ' The committee lost no time in getting at the first of the 20 sections of the ordi nance. This provided for the manner of flaying the tracks and the construction of !the bridge over the Jefferson-street can- , iyon. It -was optional with the company to lay double or single tracks over parts of the route, tout it was finally agreed ;that a double track be laid to Twentieth and Spring streets, and a single track around the loop. Of the bridge, Mr. Ful ler said the lower part of the truss would be from -63 to 80 feet above the ground. It would be either a steel or a combination structure, and would not be less than 40 feet in width and would have a 30-foot driveway. On motion of J. P. Sharkey a clause was Inserted requiring" the com pany to build a bridge pf the combination order, not more than 60 nor less than 30 feet In width. The structural parts of the bridge will be of steel and the re mainder of wood, and it will, Mr. Paxton said, cost between $3).000 and 140,000. Plans for its construction must be approved by the City Engineer. The clause granting the privilege to construct turntables, switches, turn-outs and curves was dropped -out. No Connections Allowed. Section 2, which provided for the con nection of the tracks of the system, was stricken out on motion of A. K. Bentley. "The company might surrender ita franchises to the city and get a new one," said L. Zimmerman when the motion was up for discussion. "Some of our franchises- 5iave yet 3S years to run," t answered President Pax ton. "I think the Council is willing to take them up and grant you one for 25 years in conformity with the new charter. "We are '"willing to make some concessions." "But the city would get the best of it," -remarked F. T. Merrill. Mr. Bentley said the company appar ently wished to cover the whole city in a single, section, when such matters a3 con nections should be brought up in special .ordinances. The company did not take advantage of Mr. Zimmerman's offer, and the motion was put. Messrs. Bentley and 'Zimmerman voted for it and Mr. Merrill ;and Mr. Sharkey against It The decid ing voto was cast by Chairman C. E. fRumelin, who shared Mr. Bentley's view, iend it was in favor of the motion. "In this matter of connections, Mr. Pax ton," said Mr. Rumelln, abruptly, "was any authority granted the company to connect the "Wasblngtos-irtreet line with I the Vancouver VX or the line of the East j Side Rrfchyay Company?" "No. "We did it without authority, but jl do .not think we had any- right to doit" 1 No Freight Trade. Mr. Bentley then offered as a substi tute for section 2 a section granting the company the fight to construct curves and turn-outs to connect the "Washington street and the proposed Ford-street line. put pronimung it from, operating freight cars or naming freight over the line, ex cept by permit of the Common Council. iThis was a sort of compromise measure. Mr. lilnthlcum said the comnanv should mot be allowed to operate freight cars, Bor proauce wouia do brought in from the country and carried through the main streets of the city. Mr. Albee said the matter would adjust itself. If the tpeople wanted the freight cars they would ijnslst upon having them; If not, the com- Wjany could not operate them. Mr. Ful ler said the cars wpuld result In a great paving to tne people on the Heights, for on account of the steep grades team- paullng was both difficult and expensive. The substitute was amended so as not to prohibit the company from hauling ma fterial for construction Work, and was then tedopted. In section 3 all reference to the lines of the company other than the one for which toe franchise is asked was stricken out. 1 Section 4 was passed and section 5 was (amended so as to give the power of granting a permit for the obstruction of jinore than five blocks during the work of fjconstructlon to the Commpn Council, in stead of to the City Engineer. Section ;6, providing for the cars to be operated; 7. limiting the speed to 12 miles an hour. .prohibiting the stopping cars on street .Intersections, and prescribing a fine of from $5 to $20 for violations; and 8, nam ing a trip fare of 5 cents, including trans fer In any one direction, were favorably considered. Section 9 was amended so as to reduce the life of the franchise from J50to 25 years, to conform to the provi sions of the new charter. Passing two sec tions which prescribed the punishment of offenders in oars and interference with tne work of construction, the committee amended sections 13 and 14 so as to ex clude the bridge over Jefferson street from the improvements which the com pany may be required to make to the streets over which the line wiil pass. The "bridge shall be maintained wholly at the expense of the company, and its failure to maintain the structure shall render the ..privileges granted hy the ordinance sub ject to forfeiture. Section 15, naming the usual licenses. was passed, but section 1G was referred to the City Attorney, with a request that ne rewrite it. under this section the company-might begin work within six months .and commence the operation of cars with in two years after the approval of the ordinance. It had been suggested that the 'company might nof rush the work to com pletion, but Mr. Fuller said there would be no avoidable delay north of Spring street. Passing over minor matters, the com mittee took up section 20, which provld- ea mat we Portland Railway Company enjoy the rights and privileges hereto- "fore granted to ita predecessors, tbe Mult nomah and Portland Railway Companies, Frank Dckum, R. L. Durham and the Portland & Vancouver Railway-Company, the Portland Cable Railway Company, the Portland Consolidated Railway Company and the Portland Traction Company. Mr. Bentley moved that the section be elim inated entirely, and Mr. Sharkey seconded the motion. There seemed to be, a belief that the section would renew the life of the old franchisee, and Mr. Bentley said that no franchise should be considered except the one asked over Ford street to the Heights. What Tax Should Be Paid. Mr. Fuller said the terms tot, the fran chise were more onerous than any that had ever been granted. The provisions for street Improvements and the require ment that the company build and main tain a bridge as a public driveway and pay 'a tax would be a burden. It would be cheaper, for the company to renew the present trestle on Chapman street, for that would cost only? $18,000, and It would not have to be maintained as a drive way. Mr. Linthlcum said it was to the mate rial interest of the company to secure the franchise. There should be some provi sion for a tax, for if one were not levied ,the company would escape scot free in the matter of compensation to the city. Section 20 was not deemed in any way to extend the life of the old franchises, but the seven franchises which the company asked would give it 10 miles of track into a new territory- "The Council," said Mr. Bentley, "Is unanimously of the opinion that the city should receive some compensation, but we have yet to-arrive at a method. The first five years the tiax should not be very heavy. It should be increased the sec ond five and the third five, and the last 10 the company should be taxed for all that It can stand." Mr. Paxton said the Jefferson-street bridge would cost between $30,000 and $40, 000, and the company .would be at an ex pense of about $2000 a year for Its main tenance as a public street. A tax should not be levied the first five years. The second five a small tax might be imposed, and thereafter the company might be as sessed in proportion to the increase in population, beginning with the receipt of the returns of the census to be taken in 1910. So much might be paid for every 10,000 people over 150,000 in 1910, and double the sum for the same excess over the same figure in 1920. And if we have not more than 150.000 people here by 1920, we had better go out of business." he concluded. Mr. Bentley moved that Mr. Paxton submit an opinion of what the tax should be at a special meeting, of the committee to oe new Monday evening. He said it was not possible that the Council would taKe up tne ordinance at its meetlne- this afternoon, and the five other Councllmen took the same view of the matter. An ad journment was then taken until Monday, wnuii uy Attorney AicNary will present the section which was referred tn him t be rewritten, and Mr. Paxton will hand in nis opinion. The ordinance; if agreed upon by the committee, will be brought before the Council at the regular meeting on November 5. GAY TIME AT BALL GAMES How Newsdealer Is Accused of spenuingr Stolen Money. Georere E. Snvder. mIIo nr r tlonery. newspapers and" fruit on the ooumern Jfacific train between this city and Ashland, will have a hearing before Municipal Judge Homie FVidnv imr with the larceny of about $450 in money from a woman who is now in California, but who will he here at the Municipal Court hearing. Detectives Day and "Weiner and Special Agent Patrick J. tt.ino.eien, of the Southern Pacific Rail- roaa company, worked up the case against Snyder, and the latter was ar rested at Park and Washington streets Monday. In the meantime Snyder has ueen neia in zuw pall for his appearance at court. The police lnauiries into th that a Russian "woman wHww not -be obtained at present was on a train proceeding- from Dawson City to Sar jJTancisco, ana tnat while the train was near this city, October 2, someone stole $450 from her clothlne as .sh inv .iWr in her berth. Snyder was on tfie train at tne time, ana although he had no Dusiness in tne sleeper, witnesses will testify that ther &aw him actlno- sus piciously at the rear end of the sleeper aoout tne time tne money was stolen. Snyder came to Portland Oetohpr 4 nnri had a gay time at several baseball games, wagering as much as $150 on one oc casion on the success of the team he favored. The woman, who had been a- cook at Dawson City all Summer, reported the fact that she had been robbed when the train arrived here, October 3. In the meantime, the detectives could not find Snyder, although it was reported that ho was at worK, as usual, it was ultimately discovered that Snyder lert with his tram when it started from the Terminal Depot, but turned over his stock to an assist ant, and left the train on the East Side. He would then have his gay baseball ex perience, rejoin the train on the East Bide on the return Journey, and check himself as being "present" when, the train again pulled up at the Terminal Depot. The woman's money consisted of one $100 bill, four $50 bills, and the balance in $10 bills of the Canadian Bank of Com merce. She remembers seeing the word "Dawson" written across the face of the bills, and Detecives Day and "Weiner have since found out that one $100 bill and four $50 bills have recently passed through the Portland branch of the bank referred to, with the word "Dawson" written across them. Snyder denies being near the sleeper on the night of the robbery, and says he is innocent. About one month. ago $4000 was stolen from a Mrs. Helen Barnet on a Southern Pacific train between this city and San Francisco. AS WITH ELDER'S MEN. Inspectors to Investigate Columbia Strike Steamers Not to Be Laid Up. In the marine engineers strike yester day the O. R. & N. Co. followed the same routine with the Columbia's men as with the men on the Elder and filed notice with the Inspectors, demanding an invest igation. The matter will probably come up before them tomorrow or next day. The Inspectors were busy all day yester day with the Cypromene-Hassalo colli sion, and took no action in the matter. The officials of the company announced that the steamers ,would not be perman ently withdrawn from the route, but as soon as men could be secured to take the places of the strikers, they would resume regular trips. As they experienced no dif ficulty In securing engineers , for their river boats, they do not seem to be wor rying over a force for the two ocean steamers. Temple Beth Israel. The services of the Festival of Taber nacles begins this evening at 8 o'clock. Dr. Wise will preach In the course of the morning services, which begin Thursday at 10 A M.

Shnrhey Will Propose Storage Tanlcs Outside City IVith Pipe j.Ine toSnpnly Consumers. - Councilman J.'P. Sharkey said yester day that he expected the ordinance estab lishing an oil district on the East Side, between East "Water street and Union ave nue and East Madison and East Taylor streets, prepared by Councilman Flegel, will come up In the City Council today. He has had conferences with interested property-owners, and bas ascertained that they object strongly to the ordinance as it" stands. They probably would not object to the storage of fuel oil in the blocks included,- in the district, but are opposed to storage of fuel and refined oils together. Councilman Sharkey insists that the ptace for storage of refined oil should be optslde the city, and that it should be piped from the outside tanks, and that the supply kept inside the city should be kept within a reasonable amount. Joseph Supple, who has a shipyard at the foot of Belmont street, said it would be a bad thing to establish an oil district in the heart of the city. "In case of ex plosion," he said, "the burning oil would be carried down the river, spreading de struction. The oil district should be be low the city, not inside nor above." Councilman Flegel's ordinance provides as safeguards that air the streets in the district shall be filled solidly to grade, and where the tanks are above ground a wall 24 feet high shall be built SITE FOR CAMP MEETINGS. Association Will Lay Out Ground and Bniltl Tabernacle. A meeting of the Willamette Evangel ical Camp Meeting A?sociatlanof , the Ore gon Methodist Episcopal Conference was held yesterday at the homo of Rev. J. S. Smith, East Yamhill street, to perfect the charter and transact other business. Rev. N. Shupp, president, presided. Jt was decided to-submit the draft of the charter to attorneys, so that It should bo in reg ular form. The object of the association Is to se cure a 10-acre tract on the "Willamette River, between Portland and Salem, as a permanent place for holding annual camp meetings and educational gatherings. The ground will be laid off In streets and Im proved and disposed ofto members of the-church who may desire to erect per manent cottages. Also a site will be re served In the center of the tract for the erection of a tabernacle capable of accom modating several thousand people. How ever, the ground will first be secured and cleared, and It may be some time before the tabernacle can be built, and until it has been erected a large tent will be used. Some investigation of prospective sites has been made, but no decision has been reached. The Intention is to secure the ground as soon as possible. Where It Is selected and Improved, all annual camp meetings and gatherings of the Youns People's Alliance will be held there. It is desired to select a site on the river to insure transportation facilities. IX FAVOR OF FRANCHISE. Albina Property-Owners Ash: Council to Authorize New Car Line. Li. M. Davis, rcpresehtlng"property-own-ers In Central Albina, has filed, a petition asking the City Council to grant the franchise asked for by the Portland Rail road Company, with some slight modifi cations, and that the company be required to start construction within six months after having bfcen granted the franchise. Mr. Davis said yesterday that he had a long talk with F. I. Fuller, general man ager of the railway company, and he said the company wanted to start work on the proposed extensions as soon as the ma terial could be secured. The company, ho said, was as anxious as the people that there should be little delay In building the extensions. The changes suggested by Mr. Davis are not important, He sug gests slight changes, so that but a 'single track will be laid on that portion of Gan tenbeln avenue, which is but 40 feet wide, while the other track swings on another street, but coming together on Commer cial street Mr. Davis said no material opposition has developed, except a communication had been sent to the street committee, without signature, objecting to the car line being placed on Commercial street, because It would be alongside the Thomp son schcolhouse.

LORD For This Reason Developments Arc Few In'ReformTCircles. "I have been so busy," said Charles F. Lord, attorney for the Law and Enforce ment League yesterday, "that I have not had an opportunity to talk matters over with the Chief of; Police and 'Sheriff, as I intended to. I saw Chief McBauchlan yesterday, and also Sheriff. Storey, but I did not have time to stop and say what I desire to.-" There is..en unfounded rumor -in cir culation that the Law and Enforcement League scheme, whatrver it was, has al ready fizzled out, and that the officials will have no more of It. An attorney yes terday remarked: "If these bo-called re formers are so anxious to stop-gambling and do not, as they claim, get the neces sary assistance- f rqm the, authorities, why do they not proceed under the section of the 'statute which permits any citi zen who sees gambling going on to ar rest the offenders. He does not need an COFFEE VISE. Holds Fast Until Yon Get a Knock down. "I had used coffee -moderately up to six years ago," writes a lady from Flney Creek. Md., "when I was seized with an attack of nervous prostration, and was forbidden coffee by my physician. I was constantly under treatment for nearly three years. After my recover-, I once took a cup of coffee, and It made me so sick I did not want any more. "After the nervous prostration, my stomach was very weak, so that I had to bo careful with my appetite. As soon as I would eat certain things, I would have an attack of stomach trouble, sometimes lasting several weeks, so when I was at tacked by erysipelas two years -ago, my stomach was immediately out of order. "I kept getting worse, until nothing would stay on my stomach, not even rice water or milk, and I was so weak I had to be fed with a spoon. I had a craving for something like coffee, but that was Impossible, so Father went to town and got some Postum Food Coffee, and when he asked the doctor if I might have it, he quickly answered 'Yes.' Mother made It exactly as directed, and brought me part of a cup, and it was delicious,, sat isfying every craving, and best of all, staying on my stomach without distress, giving comfort Instead. For several days I lived on Postum, gradually Increasing the amount I took until I could drink a cupful. Then I began to take solid food with it, and so got well and strong again. I now use it constantly, and I am entirely free from any stomach trouble. "Father and Mother both use It Coffee made Mamma nervous and disagreed with her stomach so that she would taste it for hours after -drinking. Father had stomach trouble for five or six years, and used to be deprived of various articles of food on account of it. Now he can eat anything since he quit coffee and uses' Postum. Father says that it Is better than Mocha or Java." - Name given by Postum Coorpany, Battle Creek, Mich. DIDN'T HURT A BIT TtfrE extract, crown and w bridge teeth without Inflicting pain.
