Mr. Harbur la dep!y Interested In the new bridge and both, he and Ir. Peldtng favor the proposal to bring the Blount Hood road through the southern districts of the city. Trople Will Pay Bonn. The people of the South East Fide are anxious to have this road." said Mr. Barbur. "We will give the company a bonus to build It through that section and orer the new Kllsworth-Meade-street bridge. Furthermore, we will guarantee that there wtll be no remon strance against the route decided upon." "I greatly faror the efTort to get the Mount iloo.) road to build around the southern route." said Councilman Bel dlng. "We need the additional car senr tce and I believe the people woutd glad ly raise a bonus to get It. If the com. pany would accept It. The line could connect with the Oregon Electric and run down Front street, hsvlng a good entrance Into the business section." No route has as yet been decided upon for the proposed line, as there has arisen much opposition to Its running through Irelntfton. an exclusive resi dence district. The street committee of the City Council has the subject un dr consideration and will hold a spe cial meeting at 1 o'clock tomorrow, af ternoon, at whl.-h protests from resi dents of Hancock street will be heard. This Is the latest street under consid eration In connection with the line. Hawthorne Offer Declined. Officials of the road have already declined an offer of the Portland Hall way.

FOREST PERMITS CHANGED Water Power Development Forma Cheaper Than Old System. New retaliations and procedure neces sary to secure permits to occupy Na tional forest lands for the purpose of water-power developments have been received by District Forester Cecil. In every rase the new form Is more liberal than was the old one. The charge under the new form of permit Is approximately one-third less than un der the old form. It Is based on the estimated tot power capacity of the OLD-TIME RESIDENT TO BE Bi Kir.n bMiiie wife. ro. NMOX or YEARS. Irvlcgton property owners wi:t bare their meeting afterward and will pro test against the Uytr.g of additional tracks down any s:r-et In Irvlnston. It was rumored yesterday that the com pany was accounting ulta the Portland Railway. IJctit power Company and the City Council for the Joint use by the two companies of Broadway. This would solve ths problem. Inrlngton residents sar. But as there Is no common-user r la use In the franchise now held by the streetcar company. It will be necessary to secure concessions, C. C Colt and J. 1. Bowman are among the residents of Irvtngton who Intend to be present at the meeting tonight. "If the Portland Railway. Light Power Company cannot he Induced to enter Into negotiations with the Mount Hood Railway A Power Company and adopt a common-user agreement for the us or its tracks on Broadway, then I am In favor of granting a franchise to the Mount Hood Railway on Hancock street over all protests. This thing stiould be settled at once and we should do all we can to faclllrate the entrance Into the city of th J' unt Hoot! Rail way.' said Councilman Lombard last night. Lombard favors Franchise. "The property owners on the streets on which the Mount Hood Railway has asked a franchise have entered objec tions on the ground that 't would dam age their property. Of course they have a right to think as they please, but I cannot understand how the railroad would do this damage. The new rail road will mean much to Portland and I think we should do all we ran to facili tate its entrance and the early operation of Ita trains. I have heard that the Portland Railway, LiKht A Power Com pany la opposed to the entrance of the Mount Hood Ra'Iway, hut I do not know If the report la true. I tried to see Mr. Joewetyu today, but was unable to get In communication with him, I shall try to tee h'rn tomorrow and ask If an ar rangement car. not be made for a common-user agreement for the Broadway line. If that cannot be done. I am in faror of granting a franchise to the Mount Hoo.1 Railway on Hancock street, Tne Council has the power to do so. and If tr.at Is the last resort to get this new railroad Into the city, I am In favor f it." Mayor Suggests Solution. Mayor B.mou said yesterday that he 1Ueved a common-user agreement for the Broadway line was the most reason able solution of the problem. He said he was of the opinion that the Portland Railway. Light 4k Power Company could be compelled to accept a common-user agreement. Councilman Lombard went a little far ther and said that If the Portland Rail way. Light A Power Company expected to get a franchise on Seventh street, when the Broadway bridge wss com pleted. It should enter Into an agreemrnl wttn the Mount Hood road for a common-user prlvlstge on the Broadway line, otherwise he would be In favor of grant ing t.ie Mount Hood road a franchise on Bever.th street. President Josselrn said that he was sot oppord to granting the Mount Hood road a, franchise to enter l-a citf and i Captain Erl Beebe. Captain F.rl Beebe. S years old. once a prominent official In the State of Michigan and for 0 years a resident of Oregon, died at the home of his son. W. 8. Beebe. S1 Forty-second avenue. Tuesday, after a brief Illness. He was born in 1S23 In New Tork and went to re side la Michigan In IMS. He served there as president of the Board of Supervisors, warden of the stats penlteatlary. and postmaster, and took a prominent part In the early history of the Republ'can party, serving ss the State', member of the Congressional Committee. At the outbreak of the Civil War. Captain Beebe was appointed b Oovernor Blair to command a com pany of tbe Twenty-eighta Michigan Volunteer Infantry. After the war he removed to California and came thence to Oregon. Captain Beebe was a Royal Arch Mason and a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, serving twice as com mander of Ben Butler Post. Tbe members of this post will official at the funeral, which will take p'ace at Clackamas todar. Captain Beebe will be burled there beside bis wife, with whom he lived for 64 years, up to ths time of her daath. two years ago. plant, with provision for a. readjust ment every ten years. The time, 0 years. Is the same as under the old form. A provision Is made providing for an extension of the permit, giving the permittee a preference right. The radical difference consists In there being under the new regulations two forms of permit: one a preliminary form, which Is Issued for a sufficient length of time to allow the applicant to complete his surveys, and secure such engineering data as are necessary to submit for a final permit. Upon the submission of the required data the final form of permit Is Issried. All applications and permits are han dled through the District Forester, in stead of through the Supervisor, as for merly, and thus some time Is saved I'nder the new regulations It Is thought that when an application Is complete when received, a permit ran be Issuel within 30 days from the receipt of the application. The new regulations and procedure have already received the Indorsement of a number of the large operating companies In the West, bankers, engl neers and others Interested In Hydro electric developments. 3 POWER PLANTS TAKEN Washington-Oregon Corporation Geta Kalama, Kel.no and Italnler Works, Tbe Washington-Oregon Corporation haa completed negotiations for taking over the plants of the Kalama Light tc Power Company, the Rainier Light Power Company, and the Kelso Light dt Power Company, making a total of t1.50O.tNQ Involved In the negotiations and development previously planned by the conrpany.
