FRANCHISE GRANT
PATCHING IS DONE

COMPANY MAY DISAPPROVE
Proposed Ordinance Provide for

After five months of squabbling over
the terms of a general franchise grant
covering SO streets of the city asked
for by the Portland Railway. Light A
Power Company, the street committee
of the City Council completed lta work
yesterday, and by noon today will have
redraft of the mutilated franchise
ready to send to the Council for final
passage.
Uoubt Is expressed by Vice-President
Fuller, of the railway company, about
the company accepting the grant, be
cause of the attitude of the committee
In reaulrlna- the company to take un
satisfactory terms. The principal of
these la the franchise on Seventh street,
which. If accepted by the company, will
necessitate the building of double
tracks to Main street and a single track
to Jefferson street.
resssalttee Alans at t'eanproBslae.
The committee voted unanimously
yesterday to require the double tracks
to be extended to Main afreet Inateaa
of only to Morrison street, as desired
by the company. This was a compro
mise of the demands made by the Sev
enth-Street Property Owners" Associa
tion, that the double traeka be extend
ed to Jefferson street. The company
had Drevlously compromised the propo
sition by agreeing to put a single track
over the street, but thia was not satis
factory to the property owners.
"I cannot say whether the company
will accept the franchise or not," said
Mr. Fuller. "At best It la doubtful, all
depending, of course, on the way the
Eastern Interests looK at me nnancmi
end of it."
Members of the committee resentea
a communication sent In by the Rose
City Park Improvement Club denounc
ing the committee as being auaiory in
Its work. by delaying the granting of
the franchise. When the communica
tion was read. Councilman uurgara

resent such unpatriotic attitude. It 1

Chairman Baker, of the committee.
also resented the letter. Thl commit
tee has been delaying this franchise
grant for the protection of the peoplV
aald Mr. Baker. "We have not wanted
to let the company get hold ot a
wide general franchise, and after se
curing It on Its own terms take what
of It waa desired and discard the rest.
The Rose City Park residents want a
carllne extension and probably would
get It under this franchise. But how
about the people of other districts?
Perhaps the company would not iook
mo favorably on their demand! for ex
tensions. The whole purpose of the
delay has been to protect the people
aa a whole and not to iavor mo ttsi
denta of any one district."
The committee voted unanimously to
Include In the general grant a fran
chise for the extension of the Mount
Tabor line from Us present terminal
to Eighty-eighth street In the 8outh
Mount Tabor district. The cost of this
extenalon la to be partially borne by
the property owners. A committee of

PASSEXGER WAR TERMINATES
Open River Restores $1 Rate on
Middle Columbia Run.
There Is an end to the passenger rate
war between Portland and The Dalles,
as the Open River Transportation Com
pany raised .Its fare this week from BO
cents to $1. with $1.60 applying on
round-trip ticket. That brings the
tariff to the same level as Is In vogue
on steamers of The Dalles. Portland &
Astoria Navigation Company, operating
the steamer Dalles City, and which will
soon place the steamer Bailey Gatzert
in service.
Last season the Open River Interests
cut the rate on the steamer J. N. Teal
from $1 to 60 cents, and maintained
the reduction until the Teal, went Into
commission this week after an ex
tensive overhauling. It Is said that
there is no Intention to restore the low
tariff during the Summer. It was the
first lowering of fares since the days
when the steamer Chas. R. Spencer,
now the Monarch, was pitted against
the Bailey Gatzert.
BARK IS AT SEA 86 DAYS

ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 1. (Special.)
The French bark Pierre Antonine ar
rived this afternoon after a remark
ably slow passage of 8 days from New
castle, N. S. W with a cargo of coal.
She reports an uneventful trip. The
bark's delay waa caused by encounter
ing a succession of calms In the South
Pacific and the fastest day's run be
fore crossing the equator was only 40
miles.
The bark arrived off the mouth of
the Columbia last evening, and was
picked up by the tug Tatoosh, Pilot
Anderson bolng placed on board. The
Antonine brought about tOOO tons of
coal, part of which will be discharged
here, and the remainder will be taken
to Portland. A large part of the coal
to be unloaded here Is to be shipped
to Alaska on the vessels of the salmon
fleet.
ELK HERD IS SELECTED
Shipment for Wallowa Forest to
Start Early Xext Month.
Advices have been received by Game
Warden Flnley from Dr. T. S. Palmer,
Assistant Chief of the Biological Sur
vey, Washington, D. C. to the effect
that arrangements for the transporta
tion of the elk herd to be liberated in
the Wallowa Forest Reserve have been
completed. Dr. Palmer writes that he
has given Instructions that the herd
shall comprise 15 head of the best ani
mals available. It is to contain four
bulls. The elk will be shipped from
Jacksons Hole about March 1. and are
expected to arrive at Joseph, Or., about
March 15. The Game Warden-'s office
Is now negotiating with the Oregon
Short Line for a special rate covering
the elk.
To meet the expense of transporting
the elks to the range prepared for them
In the Wallowa National Forest.
Warden Flnley has addressed letters to
all the Elk lodges In Oregon asking
subscriptions to a fund for mainten
ance. The Portland lodge has already
subscribed tlOO toward the fund of
1 1 aha n.Ki.h ! nnrmmrv to take care of
the elk herd until Spring, when there
will be aufficlent pasturage. The elk
were secured from the Government,
with the understanding that they would
be furnished a suitable range and

BLOOMS IN ELK PLAN
Purple and White Sweet Peas
to Be Convention Setting.
EARLY PLANTING ADVISED
Lodgemen Wonld Hare Every Resi
dence District Outlined In Offi
cial Hoes of Ordei? Prizes
Are Offered.
Since the suggestion that Portland
residents plant purple and white sweet
peas as decorations for the Elks' Na
tional convention in Jnly, first was
made six weeks ago, thousands of
lawns and- gardens have been planted
with seeds that will produce flowers
of these colors, the official hues of
Elkdom.
Seed houses in Portland are arrang
ing special packets of seeds that will
produce sweet peas of pure white and
deep purple. They advise that the
seeds be planted before the end of
February, that they may bloom in time
for the Elks' reunion, which will be
held during the week beginning July 8.
Many lawns on Portland Heights al
ready have been fringed with seeds
that will produce purple and white
borders. Irvington residents have
been preparing for the Elks' gathering
In a similar manner. In many other
parts of the city residents have been
active In seeding their flower beds, that
they will form a part of this novel re
ception to the 50,000 members of the
organization who will be Portland's
guests for a full week next Summer.
Commission Approves Plasu
The commission In charge of the
convention has taken official recogni
tion of the plan. At a meeting early
In January $20 was appropriated to payJ
for a prize for the best display of pur
ple and white sweet peas made at the
annual exhibit of the Oregon Sweet Pea
Society, which will be held within the
week that the Elks are here. Captain
George H. Pope, president of thii so
ciety, is the originator of the Idea. He
and other members of his organization
have been active in the movement ever
since it was inaugurated. They hope
to make purple and white prominent in
every Portland lawn.
The Elks' commission also has under
consideration the suggestion to offer
a prize for the best display of purple
and white ' sweet peas grown In the
residence districts. Prizes also will be
offered for the homes best . decorated
with purple and white bunting, Ameri
can flags and Elk emblems.
Decorating Committee Busy.
The decorating committee, of which
John H. Burgard Is chairman, already
has completed plans for beautifying
the entire line of march on both the
east side and west side of the river
with one harmonious scheme of color.
The headquarters In the Elk building
now are flooded with samples of Amer
ican flags, purple and white pennants
and Elk emblems submitted by manu
facturers In various parts of the coun
try. Harvey C McAllister, secretary,
has telegraphed an order for a large
quantity of American flags to be used
In the street decorations. Many miles
of purple and white bunting and thou
sands of pennants bearing silk heads
painted on a white background and
with purple border will be purchased
at once. As some of these will have
to be made. to order, it is necessary to
buy them early.
Honor Court Outlined.
Plans for an elaborate court of honor
to be built of wood and white plaster
are being considered. The court will
form a square bounded by Seventh,
Morrison. Fourth and Stark streets.
It Is probable that growing plants
of purple and white sweet peas will be
Introduced Into the decorating scheme.
They may be used In the court of honor
as well as at points along the line of
parade.
Negotiations also have been opened
for Illuminating designs. The commis
