GRANT REFUSES TO HURRY City Attorney Says Kallroad Trail-j c-liis-s Inn Wait. March 18 at 1 P. M. was set . yes terday as the date upon which the street committee of the City Council will take up the proposed franchises for the Southern Pacing Company. Yes terday afternoon the members of the committee fixed that tlmu and asked City Attorney Grant to have his opinion reedy, but he said he could not be hurried, and asked why It wos that, "all of a sudden, there Is such a demand for opinions from the City Attorney on franchises." "It probably is because the City At torney has worked himself up to where his opinions are sought after." replied Councilman Baker, chairman of the committee. 'While tho committee has no wisn to hurry the City Attorney, the members have been greatly annoyed l .. ........... eeoliests to llCt Oil these franchises and we want to do the best we can to get through with the work." Well. If you want to throw the burden on some one. just tell the public that the City' Attorney is at fault; thnt lie has not submitted his opinion yet." That's Just why I'm talking- about It now so they will know," replied Mr. Baker with a laugh. Dan Kellaher. president of the East Side Business Men's Club, asked the committee not to act on an application for a franchise running :5 years for a spur track In Sulllvan"a gulch until he and his associates can have a copy of the proposed franchise and see whether It contains common-user clauses. It was laid over until March IS. when It will be considered with the lest. The committee took no definite action on h proposed hillboard orelinance In troduced by City Attorney Grant, but will consider it soon. 200 DELEGATES TO ARRIVE I'.levtrlc l.iglit anil lcr Associa tion Meols la SojilcinlMT.

If the. map of the eastern half of the L'nitcd Stales is tipped up within the next few days it will be because nearly all the railroad officials of con sequence in the country are in the we.-tern half, principally in San Fran cisco. Whether this galaxy of transporta tion stars Is gathered on the Pacific Coast wltli a denhite object, in view or whether their combined presence here is merely a coincidence, remains an unsolved riddle, but tne fact that they are here at the same and unusual time is significant, to say the least. At the head of the Imposing list is Judge Robert S. Lovett, president of the executive committee of all the Harriman railroads; accompanying him are Julius Kruttschnitt. director of maintenance and operation of the Harriman lines, and Lewis J. Spence, director of traffic. Among the other notables are Louis W. Hill, president of the Great Xorth crn; K. P. Kipley, president of the Santa Fe; B. F. Bush, president of the Missouri Pacific; Edward T. Jef fery, chairman of the board of tho Denver & Rio Grande, the Western Paciilc and other Gould lines; William Sproule, resident of the Southern Pacific; E. Calvin. Reneral manager of the Southern Pacific, and perhaps a few others of less prominence. It was the Intention of Judge Lovett and his party to return to the East via Portland but J. D. Faprell, presi dent of the O.-W. R. & X. Co.. yester day received a telegram advising him that they would go home direct from San Francisco. Mr. Hill accompanied bis family to California, where they will remain for the next few weeks. It is his inten tion of spending a few days with them and may return to St. Taul by the way of Portland. It Is probable, too. that some of tho other otiicials will travel through Portland on their way East. Not "in many years have so many heads of railroads gathered on the Coast at one time.

All tickets sold hy Eastern railroad agents provide transportation to Port land, and many colonists are arriving here on every train, not so much for the purpose of remaining here per narently as to radiate from here to their various ultimate destinations. It Is a fact, however, that a jtreater per centage than is desirable has no drf Irlte plans for the future. Many of these come to Portland merely to "look around.'' as they express It. and with the probable Intention of paininK permanent locations elsewhere in tho state as the opportunity- presents Itself. t--w l ame to Seek roaltlona. It is evident that the advice of the railroads and the commercial bodies to Eastern people not to come to Ore ton unless they have money enough to buy land or positions secured in advance l:as been fruitful of results. The percentage of men lookine for work is far smaller than it was a year ago. Among the arrivals of the last few days were many from points near the Atlantic seaboard, who started for tho Coast as soon as the reduced rates went into effect. S.nne of them have stopped in various places en route to Portland, which privilege is granted them by the terms of their tickets. All col onist tickets also provide transpor tation to Willamette Valley points as far south as Ashland, and many of those who arrived yesterday expressed Intention of locating In points. south of Portland. O.-W. R. X. train Xo. due at lu:4."i yesterday afternoon, ran into Portland In two sections, the second section arriving at 2:K. Both sections were well filled with colonists, more than 100 being carried in addition to tho regular passengers. i:nllre KnmlHes Arrive. Included in the arrivals yesterday ; were several entire families who have deserted their former homes in tne East in the hope, of -finding improved conditions In Oregon. Several women at both the Union Station and the North Bank Station carried babies in their arms. The nnmher of children among the arrivals indicates the move ment of many families. Inquiry among heads of these families proves they are coming with the intention of seeking land tributary to Portland. Some have capital to invest and others are seek ing farms that they may rent with the option of buying. The usual number of professional men and mechanics is included. On one car that arrived over the North Bank road yesterday were three den tists, graduates from a school in Mich igan, who want to locate in the new towns of Central Oregon. In former colonist seasons the num ber of unmarried men almost formed a majoritv or the entire movement. They were typical of the class thar comes to look for work. This year the great majority is formed by fami lies and heads of families. A great manv are coming to find the future home for their wives and children. After they have found them they will send for the mother and babes that all may live togetiier under Oregon's favorable surroundings. The movement this year is not as ,,. ,a i ..-t inst Snrinc. but inas much as the season continues 13 days longer, the aggregate milux may oe greater.

"Prevent marriage by any means," wired Arthur Palmer, a young sales man from Los Angeles, en route here to forbid th& ceremony. Because the interest of District Attorney Fred ericks, of Los Angeles, had been in listed, the prosecutors here made extra efforts, with the success noted. At the request of the Palmer family. In Los Angeles. Detectives Epps and Taft arrested Frank Fisher and Zada Palmer, in a house at 494 Market street, a week" ago. They asserted their in tention to be married, but the girl's relatives wired that anything was bet ter than that. Fisher was locked up and the girl was cared for outside. Palmer, the brother, set out for Port land at once, leaving a distracted mother at home.. - Meanwhile' Fisher had enlisted friends w ho undertook to raise the 2000 bond riuired. and it was to forestall this, and the marriage expected to result, that the officials labored. Palmer, ar riving vesterday evening, went at once to interview his sister and Is confident that he will bo able to dissuade her from the und'esired alliance. At the. same time. Fisher's friends, at the last moment, failed to qualify as the neces sary bondsmen, and he still is in jail. Water Users riaint Investigated. Dr. Calvin S.
