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.

OPPOSE NEW OIL DISTRICT
PROPERTY-OWNERS FEAR DANGER
OF EXPiOSIOX.
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.

will have a members' night and smoker
tonight in the gymnasium at the club.
The gymnasium clashes began work the
first of this month: the football season
has just begun; bowling, handball, bil
liards and swimming are features that are
receiving special attention; and the di
rectors of the club desire to promote the
feeling of fellowship, or "club spirit," by
bringing the members together tonight
for a general good time. All members are
urgently requested to be present.
'Multnomah will play Its first football
game of the season next. Saturday with
the eleven from Whitman College, and an
organization of "rooters" will be effected
tonight with- the object of cheering the
wearers of the crimson and white on to
victory, as well as in subsequent games,
by showing the team that the members of
the club stand behinef'them in their strug
gle on the gridiron and are as eager for
victory an the players themselves. The
smoker will also be in the nature of a
boost for the club in general, to consider
ways and means for promoting all Its
features, and the members will no doubt
be out In large numbers to push along
the ball of progress and make the first
members' night for the Fall and Winter

been organized, the cvening3 pleasure will
be brought to a close by servlns light re

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

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
