Mr. Blake secured a franchise In Marshtield more than a year ago. He asked for an extension of time six months ago and again a few weeks ago. not having complied with the specifications regarding the beginning of work, ssked for another extension in Marshflcld. Thla waa granted. North Bend refused a fran chise by a vote of 20 to 1. There Is now a movement on foot to put to a vote the matter of taking from Mr. Blak the extenalon granted In Marsh field, so that the street railway fran chise In both cities will be clear for any railroad that may want to build Into Coos Bay. SIATE AID IS OPPOSED CMATTLLA SEES NO GOOD IX OREGON'S ROAD LAW. County Association Favors Special 70,0O0 Levy for Umatilla High, way Other Ideas Advanced. PENDLETON. Or.. Dec lS--9peclal. With tha entire county legislative dele gation present, the Umatilla County Good Roads Association went on record Satur day agalnat tha state-aid proposition for good roads. The prevailing sentiment was that state aid. as at present outlined, would not be, of .any benefit to Eastern Oregon, while Eastern Oregon would have to pay her portion of the taxes to build a great automobile way for West ern and Southern Oregon. Senator-elect Barrett and J. T. Lieu alien were the leaders In the fight against state aid. but others were equally urgent In ita favor. Adopting the report of the committee without a dissenting voice, tha associa tion also went on record as favoring cer tain provisions which will aecure for the county better public highways through out. One of the principal recommenda tions adopted was that the county levy a special lax of 170.000 for road purposes, and another that the services of a county roadmsster be dispensed with.' Smaller road districts, more and better road tools, and Increased salaries for road supervisors were among other mat ters recommended. . CHRISTMAS CAKES.

Rushlight, Councilman from the Seventh Ward and recently elected mem ber of the Legislature. Is to be a candi date for Mayor of Portland In the com- Ing city election, and to that end he Is shortly to tender his resignation to the Council. Mr. Rushlight announced these facts yesterday following persistent ru mors of several weeks' standing. Just what other aspirants will get Into the open Is not yet Indicated. It is be lieved that Mayor Simon will run for re election and that there will be no short age of candidates in the Held, as the primary election, now some four months ofT. looms Into the foreground. Mayor Simon declined to say yesterday whether he would run. Insisting that he has given the subject no thought up to the present time. That Mr. Rushlight will have several competitors for the. Republican nomina tion, however. Is taken as a foregone conclusion. There is quite as much in terest, however, as to who will be the Democratic candidates. Rumor lias it that Dr. Harry Lane will run, but the former Mayor says there Is nothing in that. However, Dr. Une has been put up for office before by his friends when he sald previously that he wouldn't run. Regarding him as their strongest man for the Mayoralty race, the Democrats will Insist. It Is said, that he run. Assembly Prospect Gloomy. While the city aspcmbly was victorious at the last city election, prospects seem rather gloomy for an assembly this year, although it Is known that one is being talked of In certain circles. One thing Is certain an assembly will not be called by the Republican city central commit tee. The stand is taken by Chairman Logsn that the central committee has no functions to perform In the primary campaign. Further thnn that, lie Is op posed to assemblies of all sorts and as chairman has announced that he will positively refuse to Istue a cull. Without the moral .support of t lie cen tral committee it is urged that an as sembly might have rather rough sledding. Besides, the setback given assembly can didates in Multnomah County In the last primaries Is not calculated to en courage confidence In the system. It is not regarded as probable that assemoiy Indorsements would be vigorously sought In the light of recent experience. Rushlight's Stand Known. Mr. Rushlight said yesterday that he would under no circumstances permit his name to be presented before an assem bly or convention should one be held. He intends going out under the direct primary law and without recommenda tion or Indorsements, except such aa are afforded by his record in the Council, ao he averred. 'ft is true that I shall resign from the Council and become a candidate for Mavor." said lie. "But my resignation Is contingent upon the disposition of those O. R. & . bridge franchises. I will not auit the Council until I am cer tain they will not be Introduced again." Sunnorters of Rushlight say lie will make a formidable candidate for the Re publican nomination. Although his name waa near .the bottom of the legislative ticket on the ballot in the recent elec tion, he received the largest vote of any Republican elected to . the lower house from Multnomah County. His strength lies principally on the East Side, which gave him a tremendous vote two years ago when he was defeated by Mayor Simon, who received more votes than Rushlight and two other candidates, Mc Donell and Bailey, combined.

Committee Reports on Structure to Cost $70,000 Sunday School Space tb Be Enlarged. The building committee of the First Presbyterian Church will submit to the conirregetion. at a meeting next Friday night, a report of its work, and recom mendations for a four-etory structure, to be erected at Thirteenth and Alder streets. The new building, if the con gregation decides to sccept the recom mendations of the committee, will be of brlfk, and will cost 70,000. Of this sum 147.000 had already been pledged, and is available. The building committee considered the enlirgement of the present eudltorium at Twelfth and Alder streets. Some thought ita size should be increased, so It would seat more than 1300, as at pres ent. It was finally decided, however, not to recommend its enlargement. The lot upon which the new structure will probably be built, is 60 by 100 feet. A portion of the two-story chapel, at the west end of the church will be built info the new building, although- the height of the chapel will not be In creased. This will give a space 100 by 100 feet on the- first floor.
