JDrlvers Union Apparently Making
Ko Effort to Obtain Rights, De
pending on Being Able to
Continue as Taxicabs.
The two final franchises sought by
Stephen Carver for a clty-wlde Jitney
service will be before the Council for
first reading a week from today. On
Tuesday they will have passed through
iha publication period, after
which they will be read the first time
nrl nut over for 30 days for final
passage.
The first of the franchises, of which
there are three, was passed a week ago
and will come up for final passage
three weeks from today. It will then
no over for 60 days, at which time the
service proposed by Mr. Carver will be
established. Mr. Carver says he is
making final plans now for establish
ing the service at the required time.
Apparently negotiations of the Jitney
nrivsrs' Union for a franchise are at
an end. the Council refusing to give any
nref erence.
As things are going now the Jitneys
are satisfied, inasmuch as they are run
ning without regulation except tne pay
ment of a license fee of $2 a month.
They are at liberty to operate when,
where and how they please, and they
expect to continue operating in this
way under the guise of taxlcabs.
The new taxicab rate system which
has been framed by Commissioner
Dteck will be put in affect the latter
part of this week, according tf present
plans. Printing of the city's standard
rate cards is being hurried.
Under the new system of rates jitneys
under the name "taxicab'1 will be re
niilrrd to nost their actual rates of
fare and will be required to adhere to
those rates. They may post rates for
any length of time they wish to op
erate, space being provided on the new
rate cards for service for any number
of minutes up to one hour.
It Is expected the jitneys will post a
6-cent rate for service for 10 or 15
minutes, which Is the time required to
cover the average jitney route. In the
event this is done passengers may re
quire the jitneys to go In any direction
for the length of time specified for 5
cents. The jitneys in face of these
conditions will depend on their old
patrons not to require any service not
being given now. It Is said, and hope to
continue evading regulation by that
means.
The Carver franchises provide for
service to all the principal parts of
the city, including the suburbs, with
transfer privileges from 'one line to
another and with bonds for the protec
tion of the public In case of Injury.

That immense good will result to
the atate from the appropriation by
the present Legislature of a fund for
the attraction of tourists from the East
to the Pacific Northwest, as asked by
the- Pacific Northwest Tourist Asso
ciation, is the belief, of Emery Olm
stead, vice-president of that organiza
tion for Oregon.
The bill for setting aside $25,000 a
year by this state, to be used with
similar funds from Washington and
British Columbia, has been introduced
nd Is known as House bill No. 32. It
has had the unanimous recommenda
tion of the Immigration committee of
the House and it Is expected it will
receive favorable consideration when
the time comes for the final vote to
be taken.
State Declared Vitally Interested.
"People of the whole state are In
terested in this matter of getting our
hare of the tourist business for Ore
gon, said Mr. Olmstead. "It Is merely
lining up Oregon with her neighbors
In constructive efforts to attract peo
ple this way. British Columbia and
Washington have been engaging in this
work for some time. California will
spend $1,000,000 this year in her cam
paigns to attract tourists.
Washington plans a similar appro
priation to ours for the establishment
of this work, and I am toia tne ap
nrooriation there Is practically assured
that the Washington legislature teeis
the Importance of the matter and will
vote the money needed."
Northwest to Advertise Scenery,
The association, which was formed
recently, has united the whole Pacific
Northwest in a movement lor me- ex
ploitation of the scenic and other tour
ist attractions of the North Paciflo
Coast sections. It Is proposed to ad
vertise the north half of the Western
coast line of the country as worth
while visiting, either by the going or
returning California tourist, or both.
To this end it is proposed to establish
offices in the large Eastern cities. Kew
York and Chicago being Iirst selected
and issue advertising matter and do
personal work where both will obtain
the maximum or resuns in urcuus
tourists.
To carry on this worn. Britisn -o
inmhlL Washington and Oregon are
sharing the expense, and the appropri
ation asked by this state is In line
with the share apportioned at a re
cent gathering of the directors or tne
association.
PAVING PLANT PROPOSED
Oregon City and West Linn May
Eliminate Contractors.
lng the success of county-laid paving
at a total cost of 80 cents, are figuring
on paved streets laid without the help
of contractors.
Mayor Hackett has been investigat
ing the practicability of a city paving
plant, and the matter will be taken -up
with the Council soon. Harry Ward
wick, ex-County Paving Superintend
ent, estimates that the city can erect
a small, but satisfactory, plant for
$1425.
Judge Grant B. Dlmlck, president of
the Willamette Valley Southern, has
offered a plot of ground on the rail
road's terminal yards as a site for the
plant, and is willing to sell gravel to
the city at less than the prevailing
market price.
Under such conditions as these, city
officials believe that they can lay a
five-Inch aephaltlo concrete street for
even less than the remarkably low av
erage established by the county.
West Linn, too. is figuring on laying
hard-surface, and is willing either to
form a partnership with Oregon City
in the purchase and operation of a
paving plant or to buy the materials
from the elty already mixed.
West Linn has about $8000 to be
spent in surfacing streets, and Oregon
City has slightly more than that
amount.

Albert Gable, who accidentally shot

Circuit Judge Kavanaugh yesterday.
Judge Kavanaugh passed all day in
his chambers listening to witnesses
in both cases, that he might be advised
to the severity of sentences he
might pronounce. He will sentence
Gable Thursday and Lee, Friday.
Parties to both sides oi tne reua
have asked that paroles be granted in
both cases. John Collier, Deputy Dls
trict Attorney, has made no recom

tempt to secure paroles or conditional
pardons. - ,
Albert Gable was fumbling with

he was in Alaska, and came to Port

over the Danish West Indlea after half
century of negotiation will pass to

exchange of ratification of the pur

Danish Minister Brun. The actual
physical transfer, with the raising of

upon payment of the 1:5,000,000 pur

During the interim the government
of the Island baa been administered
by the present Danish Governor. Under
the terms of the treaty a joint com

to arrange the details of the transfer.
The question of the permanent form
of government and of name must be

lines of the Foraker act. under which
the territory of Porto Rico waa .ac

primarily at the instance of the Navy

Penitentiary Head Says If lie Can
Separata Good and Bad Prlsvners
All Will Be Well.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 16. (Special.)
Give me isolation cells properly located
to house incorrigibles that I can name
t the prison and to care for the rest
f the men will be like chaperoning a
Sunday School picnic," said Warden
Murphy, of the Oregon State Peniten
tiary, today in announcing that the
prison has been returned to the basis
of the honor system.
The gun guard has been abolished In
the dining-room and all men employed
on the outside now are working free
from a similar guard. ""Thompson's
honor gang" as it is called constitutes
the squad of outside workers and all
the men are pledged to see that every
other man in the gang violates none
of the prison rules.
The warden's idea Is to have a cell-
house sufficient to accommodate ap
proximately 100 of the Incorrigibles
and worse type of criminals and keep
them entirely away from the other
men. "There are certain types of con
victs," he said, "who are trouble
makers and to have them away com
pletely and to remove the other prison
ers from their environment, would
mean but little strife and friction in
the future at the prison."
It is understood that the plan Of
the honor system has been returned
to with the sanction of the board of
control and Warden Murphy said ho
hoped that the ways and means com
mittee would grant his requests alon
the line of Improvements at the prison.
