CALLS FOR REFERENDUM

port Will Be Favorable.
Developments at (he City Council
meeting yesterday afternoon revealed
the fact that Councilman Belding; wtll
represent the Interests of the South
Portland and Fulton people m-ho wish
to see the $1,600,000 parkinz-houses of
Schwartzschild & Sulzberger- located
In that district, and that Councilman
Cottel will lead the opposition. The
application for a franchise for the
plant was referred to the committee
on health and police, of which Council
man Concannon is chairman. It will
come up for discussion at the next
meeting: of the committee.
Councilman Belding says that the
people of the southern end of the city
are greatly Interested in the proposed
plant, and asserted yesterday that a
large number had applied to him for
information on the subject, expressing
a desire to have the big plant located
there. But Councilman Cottel. on the
floor of the Council, made a speech
against the project, declaring that "to
grant the company a permit to locate
its plant in South Portland without
the referendum would be an outrage."
The application for a franchise to
operate within the city limits came up
in the form of a recommendation from
the committee on health and police, the
members of which had informally con
sidered the provisions of the ordinance,
as published in full in The Oregonian
yesterday morning. Inasmuch as they
have already recommended it for pas
sage, it is considered practically certain
that when the measure comes before
the Council for action, it will be In
the form of a recommendation for final
passage.
Cottel Opposes Grant.
That the ordinance was not put on Us
final passage yesterday is due to Coun-
oilman Cottel. who arose and declared
himself opposed to a large packing plant
in tne southern portion of the city.
Councilman Cottel declared that "the
Council, in former years, handed the peo
ple of South Portland a lemon, in the
torm or a foul-smelling packing-house.
and declared that It "would be a damna
ble outrage to pass this ordinance with
out the referendum.-' lie said he would
tight the project with every means at his
command, on behalf of the people of
his ward and for the general welfare of
the district.
Councilman Belding arose, after Coun
cilman Cottel closed, and asked the priv
ilege or ine noor on & question of per
tonal privilege.
"If Mr. Cottel saya that the packing
house now located in South Portland is
a roul-smelllng place, ue says what is
not true." declared Mr. Belding, facing
his opponent. "If he proposes to fight
the new project, let Aim confine his
statements to facts while speaking in this

J. 8. Helsey, Pacific Coast manager for
Schwartachlld Suliberger, last night as
serted emphatically that his company's
proposed plant In South Portland would
not prove In the least objectionable to
he residents of that section of the cltv.
Equipped as it will be with the most mod
ern machinery and facilities, he declared
there would not be the slightest stench
aboutjhe plant. With the assurances this
company nas Deen able to give the Coun
cil. Mr. Helsey feels reasonably confident
that its application for a franchise will
not be denied.
five years be fixed at SS00 a year, and the
difference adjusted so as to apportion
the aggregate sum over the remaining
life of the franchise.
Councilman Wallace is a member of
the majority and had no difficulty in se
curing the adoption of the minority re
port, even after counsel for the company
had spoken, seeking to secure the adop
tion of the majority report. He argued
that, for the first two years, the corpora
tion will not be able to do any business
at all, as the Council has tied up the en
tire line until it is completed to Mount
Calvary Cemetery, and he thought it but
Just to apportion the valuation as lightly
as possible for the first five years.
Herman Wittenberg, one of the pro
moters of the project, repeatedly sought
from the Council the privilege of oper
ating cars over the completed portion of
tne system, but because of the fear that
the company might not build to Hills
boro and the cemetery, the Council re
fused this. Therefore, the company is
tied up completely until it extends its
lines and is ready for Interurban service
otherwise, the whole system, with equip
ment and everything pertaining tnereto,
is declared forfeited to the city by the
terms of the franchise.
The management of the United Rail
waya expects to complete its line to
Mount Calvary Cemetery within one year
from the time of the granting 01 tne
franchise allowing work to proceed. The
work of building the track to that point
is difficult, because of the steep hills to
be crossed. While the distance Is com
paratively short, much surveying will be
necessary before track work can be com
menced, and construction will be slow
and tedious.

NOW HAS A FRANCHISE
Council Makes Grant to Vnlted Rail
ways Company.
The City Council yesterday afternoon,
by unanimous vote, granted the franchise
of the I'nlted Railways Company, thus
removing all obstacles and making it
possible for the corporation to proceed
with the construction of its lines to
Mount Calvary Cemetery and Hillsboro,
so far as the municipality Is concerned,
little discussion preceded final passage of
the franchise ordinance, as Its provisions
had been thoroughly threshed over in
committee.
When the ordinance came up for final
passage. Councilman Wallace's minority
report was read and later adopted. It
provided for the valuation of the fran
chise as fixed by the Executive Board,'
Instead of as amended by the streets
committee of the Council. The Board
assessed the valuation at J37.0HO for the
2S year of the franchise, the first five
years at 509 a year. The recommenda
tion of the streets committee was that
the valuation be the same as fixed by
: the Board, but that the rate for the first J
STEVENS HIRES A HALL
Former Associate Will Tell What He
Knows About U'Ren.
Untroubled by the refusal of W.' S.
IT'Ren. candidate for United ' States
Senator, to accept his challenge for a
joint debate, J. D. Stevens has engaged
the Selling-Hirsch Hall lor next Sun
day night, and at that time will tell
what he knows of the Clackamas
County "lawgiver." Mr. Stevens went
to the meeting of the South Portland
Republican Club last Thursday night,
expecting; to be permitted to partlci
nate in the joint discussion with TTRen,
but he was denied a hearing. This
fact, coupled with tTRen's refusal to
meet him In join discussion, has driven
Stevens to the necessity of hiring a
hall at his own expense,, in order that
he may relate some of the facts he
professes to know regarding TTRen's
career In this state.
From the time he dims to Oregon
in 1891, until he served a term In the
Oregon State Legislature, TTRen had a
staunch friend In Stevens, but the rec
ord of the reformer in the 1897 session
served to antagonise Stevens, who hag
been camping on TTRen's trail ever
since. Stevens promises to make some
interesting disclosures In his address
Sunday night.
URGES OWNERS TO SPRAY
County Inspector Searching for Pest'
Infected Fruit Trees.
Richard Deich. County Fruit Inspec
tor. is asking the civic clubs to assist
in cleaning and spraying fruit-tree In
the city, and has sent to alt tne ciuos
the following communication:
The attention of the Federated Push Cluoa
Is called to the great need of having all
pest-Infected fruit trees in the city destroyed
or sprayed before the date of the Rose Fes
tival. No other one thing so unfavorably
Impresses the visitor from the East as the
spectacle of trees, along the streets and on
vacant lots and blocks in the city, which are
unsttrhtly or dying as a result of neglect.
The United Push Clubs can do most val
uable work for the abatement of this nuisance
by creating a public sentiment against all
euoh neglected and pest-infected trees, whtch
are a disgrace both to their owners and the
city.
The members can individually help along
in the good work by reporting to the County
Fruit Inspector the exact location, by lot.
block and addition, of such neglected and
pest-Infected trees and the name and ad
dress of the owner of each of such lots.
Mail -reports to Richard Deich, 66 East
Twenty-sixth street, Portland.
The Inspector says that all communi
cations addressed to him will be held
confidential, and that no one need hesi
tate to let him know of unsprayed
trees for fear of incurring the enmity
of anyone.

Ocean Shore Facts
The Ocean Shore is in actual operation..
It runs from Twelfth and Mission streets, San Fran
cisco, south to Islais Creek out through Ocean View,
and down the coast, skirting the Pacific Ocean to San
Pedro, about eighteen miles..
It also runs from Santa Cruz to Scott's Creek six
teen miles up the coast.
Three round trips are made daily--six round trips
Sunday.-
The. present freight and passenger business, wih
very inadequate equipment, is
earning over $5000 a month now.
As many as 1100 passengers are
carried on Sundays and holidays.
The Ocean Shae carries Wells
Fargo and Unitea States mail.
$5,000,000 has been invested in
the Ocean Shore Railroad.
It owns very valuable franchises and
private rights of way in San Francisco
and Santa Cruz.
It owns over $2,000,000 of real estate in
the heart of San Francisco and Santa
Cruz.
It owns very valuable real estate at
Mission and Market streets, between
Eleventh and Twelfth streets.
It has the only available terminal site
for a big union depot in the very center
of San Francisco.
Even the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific or
Western Pacific Railways have no such
' advantage.
The Ocean Shore is graded for a double
track, standard-gauge railroad over 85 per
cent of the distance to Santa Cruz.
It is the grandest scenic railway in. the
world, skirting the ocean cliffs nearly all
the way.
Thousands of tourists visiting Califor
nia will not miss the Ocean Shore trip
. One hundred ' thousand people visited
Santa Cruz last Summer; when the Ocean
Shore is completed a million will visit
Santa Cruz every Summer.
The Ocean Shore will carry them at
least one way.
These people eat, drink, and buy other
goods, and the Ocean Shore will carry
most of the freight.-
The Ocean Shore is opening up and
developing the most fertile country in
California.
This country has unlimited natural
resources.
There are hundreds of rich vegetable
farms, many dairies, lots of fruit, acres
of grazing lands.
This country is the sportsman's para
disebest quail and deer shooting grounds
in the state ; finest fishing streams for the
angler.
Thousands of campers will spend their
Summers along the road. This means
more passengers and more freight.
Over 20,000 building lots have been
sold between San Francisco and Half
moon Bay. i
Lumber and building material must be
hauled to these suburban towns, and the
Ocean Shore will get this freight business.
Every householder will be a commuter,
riding to San' Francisco daily. Every
commuter will use household goods, and
the Ocean Shore will carry his freight.
There are over a billion and a half feet
of redwood timber along the Ocean Shore ;
it must be hauled to market, and the
Ocean Shore will haul it all more profit.
There are thousands and thousands of
barrels of cement being produced north
of Santa Cruz, and the Ocean Shore will
carry this cement to the builder.
The Government is about to fortify
Half-moon Bay; this will develop more
traffic for the Ocean Shore.
Railway experts who have figured the
freight and passenger traffic on the Ocean
bhore line estimate' the earning capacity to exceed $1,000,000 a
year.
The country between San Francisco and Santa Cruz is too
inaccessible for a competing line; consequently the Ocean Shore
will get all the business it develftps, and it deserves it.
The Ocean Shore is owned and controlled by San Francisco
capitalists, who have invested their own money in the road and
have faith in it, believing they will succeed in developing one
of the best-paying railway systems in the "West.
The Ocean Shore officers and directors are:
J. DOWTSET HARVEY, PmMnti director of tlie First National Bk and
Flnt Federal Trust Company.
J. A. KOI.GEB. VIee-Prealdentt president of J. A. Foleer Cos, San Fran

Railway Bonds Absolutely Safe
" Your opportunity today is the purchase of $100
Ocean Shore bonds at $96 each, on the installment plan.
Ocean Shore bonds constitute a first mortgage on the
entire assets of the Ocean Shore Railway Company.
These bonds are secured by over $5,000,000 of assets.
The interest is paid in May and November at the
office of the Mercantile Trust Company, San Francisco.
The face value of these bonds i3 $100 the price $96.
Therefore your investment nets j'ou 5.21 per cent.
. Railway bonds are legal investments for savings
banks.
The Government deposits money
in National banks, taking as secur
ity railway bonds.
Railway bonds seldom pay over
4 per cent.
Ocean Shore bonds pay 5 per
cent on face value, or 5.21 per. cent
on $96, the present selling -Qvice.
Ocean Shore bonds are gilt-edge,
high-class securities.
They are the highest class of se
curity an investor could wish for. '
Savings banks, trust companies,
estates, etc., invest their surplus
funds in railroad bonds.
Anxiety to obtain a large rate of
interest should never be allowed to
interfere with the absolute safety,
of your money."
To put aside a little money each
3'ear is the duty, and should be the
object, of all who expect o advance
their financial position and protect
those dependent upon them.
Speculation may bring tempo
rary profits, but too often results
in ultimate loss of money involved.
Think
for Yourself
What am I doing with my sav
ings? .
Am I saving?
If not, why not?
If my money does not earn more
thaoti 5 per cent, I should make it
do so.
Speculation is dangerous.
I must invest in something safe.
I do not want my money idle.
Money in a safe-deposit vault
earns nothing.
Money in Ocean Shore bonds
earns 5.21 per cent.
I can buy an Ocean Shore Rail
way bond of $100 face value for $96.
At this price, it will net me 5.21
per cent interest.
I can pay for this bond in month
ly installments.
I can pay $16 down and $10
every month.
I get interest on my money as it
is paid in.
My investment is secured, safe
guarded and backed by the' entire
assets of the Ocean Shore Railway
Company, amounting to over
$5,000,000.
These Ocean Shore bonds are
high-class, conservative and safe.
If financiers and bankers consider railroad bonds the very
acme of sound security, I should put my money in bonds and
receive the same interest that bankers and financiers receive.
. If I haven't enough money to buy these bonds for cash, I can
buy Ocean Shore bonds on installments and pay for them as I
earn my money.
I can pay $16 down and $10 every month without missing it
out of my income.
The bonds I buy today at $96 will probably be worth $110 as
soon as the road is completed.
Besides, I get interest at the rate of 5.21 per cent on my $96.
Railroad bonds in normal times are always negotiable, and I
can raise money on them whenever I want to.
The Ocean Shore has offered me an opportunity to save my
money and get an unusually high rate of interest on my savings.
