Mr. Bigelow Now Comes to Bat

he granted a franchise at their own
terms to operate over the present close
in routes exclusively alongr streetcar
lines. The four who went to the bat
on this basis are Mayor Albee and
Commissioners Bigelow, Baker and
IPleck. Commissioner Daly stood alone
for giving- the jitneys whatever they
The action was taken when the
union came before the Council with a
proposed franchise framed by Commis
sioner Daly in which they proposed
only such routes as they now use
without attempting to serve any new
territory or any territory beyond the
close-in limits cf the established street
railway lines. The terms of their pro
posed grant were minor In comparison
with terms imposed In a franchise to
be accepted by Stephen Carver for jit
Jiey lines through the East Bide as far
out as Lents.
Lnlon to Take Action.
President Thielke, of the Jitney
Drivers' Union said he would report
the Council's action to his union at a
meeting Monday night and at that time
It would be decided whether or not the
union would atempt to select differ
ent routes from those proposed In yes
terday's franchise.
The action means that the Jitney
must come to terms with the Council
within a short time. The taxlcab zone
pubterfuge by which they have been
evading the Council's demands that
they adhere to regulation is to be
wiped out by the establishment of a
new standard zone system really meant
for taxicabs and not for Jitneys. This
new zone plan was worked out by the
Council on the basis of distance and
,-rades to be encountered so that all
districts equal in distance and grades
from a common center in the citj
Broadway and Burnside street) will
have an equal taxicab rate.
Service and Protection Required.
The Council yesterday went at the
proposition on two principles, the first
that of servico to the public, and the
pecond that of protection to the public.
"There are two things that have been
uppermost Jn my mind for 22 months,"
eald Mayor Albee, "and I have talked
these all that time and have yet to be
convinced that it is not the proper
basis. The first is the question of
routes, and the second the question
of a bond for the publio protection in
case of accident.
"I cannot get away from the belief
that the Jitney should get on new
routes serve new territory and new
people. In other worda, supplement
present transportation service rather
than duplicate it. The routes the union
proposes now is along the present lines
of transportation. No new people are
perved and people have just as far to
walk to get transportation as they do
at present. However, this is only my
Idea. If the Council says I am wrong
I will not try to force my view."
Mr. Dieck Concurs With Mayor.
"That is my idea exactly." said Com
missioner Dieck.
"Frankly." said Commissioner Baker,
"that is my position, too. I am not
Milling to grant a franchise on the
basis proposed here."
"That's three of the Council." said
the Mayor. "How do you feel about it,
Mr. Bigelow?"
"I am not agreeable to all of the
routes proposed," replied Mr. Bigelow.
" do not believe we should grant a
franchise to anybody on their own
terms. This Council should dictate
what the terms shall be, for it is the
rublic interest we are looking after,
iind not merely the interest of those
seeking something."
"1 guess that settles it," said Mayor
Albee. "If the jitney union says it will
not take anything except what is asked
for in this proposition, I guess you
have your answer."
"I will say," said Commissioner
Dieck. "that one of the very routes that
I suggested that the union accept and
which they refused has been accepted
by Mr. Carver in his East Side fran
chise. The route does not vary 50 feet
from mine at any point."
"And." said Commissioner Baker,
"Mr Carver has taken three of the
routes that I outlined In my sugges
tions, and which were offered, to and
refused by the jitney union."
Tables Are Turned.
"It looks to me as though there is
pn effort to shut the union out," said
Mr. Thielke. "You propose to grant
Mr. Carver franchises and another man
a franchise on the Iinnton run, which
we are operating over now."
"And why?" said Mayor Albee. "Be
cause these others are offering the city
better terme. Mr. Carver accepts every
thing we ask. The applicant for the
I.innton run has offered more than you.
Why should the city turn down good
terms and accept something less?"'
"If I were a Commissioner," said Mr.
Thielke. "I would favor the concern
that started the business. We Etarteu
that Linnton run."
"Then." asked Mr. Dieck, "why don't
you apply that same thing to the street
railway? Did it not establish its lines
over the streets you are now seeking
.to tiee for your business?"
"Well." said Mayor Albee. "the prop
osition seems to stand open now. The
Council has gone on record as refusing
to grant you the routes you have asked
for. If you have any other routes we
will consider them. Personally. I am
willing to go out any time and look
over any route you suggest, and I be
lieve I can show you some routes you
can operate at a profit."

if It would be correct for me to give a
boy an expensive present. My mother doesn't
want me to have beaux. What shall I do?
Allle C.
You are too young to give boys pres
ents. Send him a nice card and that
will be sufficient, and he will like you
much better than if you give him a
gift. Get interested in your studies
and work and don't bother your head
about the boys. Be a young girl as
long as you can. Tou'll be a long time

home, help your mother, do some acts
of charity and be a happy girl? Try it.

She was a dear little grandmother.
who was talking over Christmas dans
witn ner sturdy grandson, aged about
1U. They were very poorly dressed, but
happy and cheerful as they threaded
their way through the crowd in one of
tne department stores. The lad looked
up so proudly at his grandma. She
was brimming with the holiday spirit, !
ana x wondered lr Mrs. Blank knew
what the few cents she owed for that
knitting meant to the two.
Mrs. Blank has ever so much monev.
and she lets her little bills and big bills
run along till she gets good and ready
to pay them. The seamstress, the
baker and the grocer can wait. And
I wondered if there were some means
of calling attention to these bills if
many of the careless "Mrs. Blanks"
wouldn't gladly pay up, and by so doing
mane unnstmas time happier for the
people to whom a few dollars may
mean so much. Let's be thoughtful
about the little things this holiday
time, for, after all. the little things
are almost always the most important.
Here's another one about an old lady.
She was about TO years old, and she
got Into a Washington-street car yes
terday. The seats were all occupied
by men. Not one offered her a seat.
At the next corner another woman
got in. She was young and smartly
gowned. As soon as she caught hold
of the strap to stand, two men rose.
The two women took the seats vacated.
ana the older one said: Thank you.
I was wondering if there weren't some
gentlemen in the car. Glad something
made them remember their good man
ners.

Gaberdine has a new lease on life and

Khaki kool. a crepe material with al

Portland. Or.. Dee. 3. Can you .give a
pood, practical recipe for Boston beans?
!. 1a St..
TRY the following and write again if
the "Boston flavor" is not correct.
Boston Beans Soak one Quart small
est size pea beans over nighc in cold
water. in the morning drain, aaa
fresh water to cover. Add one-fourth
teaspoon soda and teaspoon salt. Heat
slowly and simmer gently so as to soft
en without bursting them. This may
be done in a flreless cooker, home-made
or otherwise, or on the back of the
stove. Test them by taking a few in
a spoon and blowing on them. If they
burst slightly the beans are reaay ror
the next step. Drain them in a colan
der and place in an earthen Boston
bean pot with a narrow mouth and
close-fitting cover. Scald the rind of
one-half pound fat salt pork, scrape,
remove one-quarter-inch slice and
score the rest of the rind one inch
deep in one-half-inch strips. Bury the
pork in the beans, leaving only the
rind exposed. Mix one teaspoon salt.
one-half teaspoon dry mustard, one
or two tablespoons molasses and one
or two tablespoons brown sugar.
Whether more or less molasses and
sugar is used is really a matter to be
decided by personal taste. Add one cup
boiling water, pour the mixture over
the beans, adding a little more hot
water if necessary so as to barely
cover them. Cover the bean pot and
bake slowly, adding water if needful,
from eight to 12 hours,, leaving uncov
ered during the last hour, so that any
superfluous water may evaporate and
the bacon rind become crisp and brown.
Part of the cooking may be done In
the flreless cooker, but the best flavor
is developed by long, slow baking in
an old-fashioned oven.
