ELECTRIC LINE FRANCHISE
Council Will Meet as a Committee
of the Whole to Iilsten to -the-Application
for a S'cw 4
Right of Way. :
C0UNGIL WILL CONSIDER TRXS
CHISE. Instead of merely a meeting of the
rtneet committee of the Portland Coun
cil Friday evening to consider the ap
plication of Thomas R. Sheridan for a
franchise for an electric railroad into
thlfl city from the Willamette Valley,
there will be an adjourned seeslon of
tho Council, roectlwr in committee of
the whole, especially to listen to the
arguments for and against the appli
cation. Last Friday evening the street
committee met to consider the matter
and was confronted by the general coun
ui uuiu iuo svuuwra jraxmc ana i
Oregon Railroad & Navigation Compan- J
lea and an array of business men t
oppope the franchise. While the argu
ment made were not exhaustive, the
objection raised was that the identity
of the interests behind the application
had not been made public This, how
ever, is regarded as a purely technical
point and as it is probable the interests
behind ihe project will be represented
Friday night by able counsel, the meet
ing promises to be of special interest.
It developed yesterday afternoon
lhat the application of Thomas R.
Sheridan, of Roseburg, for xx. franchise
to build an electric railroad into Port
land Ib to receive special consideration
of the Council at an adjourned meet
ing; to be held on Friday evening at 7
o'clock. The street committee of that
body adjourned last Friday evening
after hearing protests against recom
mending the granting of a franchise
from William D. Fenton and W. W.
Cotton, representing the Harriman
lines, and Joseph N. Teal, representing
property-owners. Thcro were also
present a large number of business
men whom, it is understood, would
have entered their protests had the
committee not decided to postpone ac
tion.., Gould Interests, Evidently.
It is evident that the Gould inter
ests, successful in forcing an entrance
into Pittsburg by means of an electric
railroad franchise and bridge privilege
pecured from Congress in that guise,
are to meet with opposition at Port
land from the Harriman lines not un
like that which the Pennsylvania sys
tem offered at Pittsburg. There is no
longer any doubt that the project of
the Roseburg banker is in the inter
est of the Western Pacific While the
general public might be deceived on
the proposition, active antagonism of
fered by officials of the legal depart
ment of the Harriman system is taken
as evidence that it is for a railroad
that is antagonistic to that system.
The application seeks the right for
a single or double-track, spurs,
switches, cutouts, curves, connections
and turntables on Thomas street, from
the Willamette River to Hood street;
upon Hood to Water street, upon
Water street to Columbia street, upon
Columbia street to Front street; upon
Front street to Northrup street, upon
Northrup street to Fifteenth street,
und thence to Upshur street, it is
also provided that no cars shall be
run on Front street, between Morrison
and Flanders streets, between tho
hours of 7 o'clock A. M. and 6 o'clock
P. if.
It is understood that the interests of
tho applicants for a franchise will bo
represented by able legal counsel at
the meeting Friday evening. What in
fluences locally have been lined up in
support of the enterprise remains to
be seen, but it is already apparent that
a strong opposition is to be met. Mr.
Fheridan is expected to be present in
person, but it is not deemed probable
that he will take the public into con
fidence more fully than he has hereto
fore done.
METHODIST SOCIAL UNION
Officers Arc Elected and Musical
Programme Given,
A test of several new songs, election of
officers (for the coming year and the
transaction of routine business comprised
the programme last night at the annual
meeting of the Men's Methodist Social
Vnlon. in Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church. Tno reports of officers and chair
men of the various committees showed
that the organization had had a profitable
ear and had done much good in connec
tion with the general church work.
Dr. Osmon Royal was re-elected to the
presidency of the organization. The other
officers selected were: J. C. Roberts, vice
president; Theodore Fassler, secretary; J.
li. Luton, treasurer; J. Luton, chairman
of the membership committee: Samuel
Connell, chairman of the entertainment
committee, and J. K. Gill, chairman of
the reception committee.
J. K. Gill read the paper upon the new
Methodist hymnal, which he prepared and
gave before a union meeting of the Meth
odists of Portland In the Grace Church, a
few weeks ago. Jtils analysis showed that
most ot the best hymns in the old hymnal
liad been retained in the present publica
tion, and that a large number of very
beautiful hymns had been added. During
Mr. Gill's paper, occasional pauses were
made, and special hymns sung to which
lie referred.
TOO LATE TO SAVE HER DOG
While Mrs. I. Rcschko Was Getting
License, Poundmastcr Was Busy.
Mrs. I. Rcschke has applied to the City
Council for the return of $3, the amount
expended for a dog license. It seems that
while Mrs. Reschke was making applica
tion for the license last Saturday at the
Auditor's office, the pound master was
busy with his chloroform on her canine,
so that when she returned home it was
ascertained that her license was equiv
alent to so much waste, paper, so far as
any practical benefits were concerned.
