'4 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIA.'X,: PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 5, liX)5 FUSSED BY COUNCIL Franchise for 35 Years Given Water Power Company. - EASTHAM IS SHUT OFF Spokesman for Oregon City Business Men.'. Is -Denied u Hearing for -His.- Protest on the , . Ordinance. OREGON -CITY, Nov. 4. (Spooiai.)-The i ity Counoll. by a -vote of 6 t& 2; passed the ordinance tonight granting a 35-year franchise to tho Oregon "Water Power & Railway Company. The franchise. -was granted onhthrco hours after the legal restraint was removed from J.hc Council by the injunction being dissolved by Judge Frazer. of. the Circuit Court. The session of the Council tonight was somewhat dramatic. Nothing occurred that was in any. -way unexpected, but the tf nslon of the members and the body of 50 citizens present in the hall was wrought dp to the highest pitch. The Council was' called together at S o clock. All Ue mombers except Williams were in their scats. The hall was crowd ed with business men, most of them mem bers of the Board of Trade. Trouble was expected, and the Mayor told the Chief of Ponce to keep the people off the heads of the Council, whatevor happened, saying: I am Mayor of this town yet." Kocriicr Makes Objection. t When the franchise ordinance was.j-ead. Chapman moved that it bo put on Its -final passage. Koerner objected, and made a short speech, saying to the Councilmen favoring the franchise: "If you do tills, you will be marked men all your lives, and the finger of soorn will "be always pointed at you." He cited the "back-salary grab" of the Council as an instance of popular indignation. In the final vote all wore in favor ex cept Koerner and Knapp. Williams was absent. Koerner and Knapp each made a short speech asking the Counoll not to fly in the face of the people's dosiros. Attorney O. W. Eastham. acting as spokesman for the body of representative business men present, asked to say a few words. Mayor Sommer.told him ho might To so if there was no objection. J. D. Kelly, a Councilman elected by tho Coun- 11 a'fow weeks ago to fill a vacancy, made "k strong remonstrance against Mr. Eastham being allowed to say anything. Eastham Refused an Audience. Mr. Koerner then moved that Mr. East ham be permitted to make the request the citizens had come to the hall to make. Chapman quickly made a point of order and the Mayor sustained him and ordered Mr. Eastham to hush. The vote was then taken. None of the Councilmen favoring the franchise made any remarks. It is difficult to prophesy what will be done, if anything, by the citizens. THroo fourths of the voters and taxpayers are opposed to the franchise and are particu larly opposed to the methods by which It was obtained. Three members of the Council. M. P. Chapman. M. Justin and Mason, arc in the salaried employ of the railroad company, and It- lias been alleged are receiving' much larger pay than i they are accustpmed to receive. Thoy jwere employed, by the? company after thx- liad been elected o the City Council;" ; Mayor Is Also Criticized. The Mayor And the "city Attorney also eome in "Tor much caustic crltl dKm for tholr attitude, because-, tho present administration was elected on a strictly anti-franchise platform. Mr. Koerner was formerly Inclined to fa vor the franchise, but he favored the peeial election, and all the time stated thni he desired to be KUlded In his ote by the wishes of the taxpayers of the city. Straight and Brandt have been as silent as the sphinx regard ing their attitude and have, publloly given no reason why they voted .for the franchise. Mr. Williams voted for the franchise. on. its first reading. Ho nas not present tonight. MrtWllflarns is in the transfer business and to. a certain 'extent is employed by the Ore gon Water Power & Railway Company. Injunction Is Dissolved. Judge Arthur L. Frazer. of the Cir cuit Court, bn fhe bonch, at the re quest of Judge Thomas A,McBride, this afternoon granted the demurrer and dissolved the injunction in the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany franchise The case came up on the petition for injunction of E. G. Caufield and on the demurrer by the railroad company. Gilbert 1 Hedges made the argument for Mr. Caufield and City Attorney Franklin T. Griffith. The individual members of the Coun cil were enjoined from voting on the franchise, and' the point was raised that It was one of the terms of the franchise ordinance that no remunera tion was secured to .the city. Inasmuch .is tho clauses relating to payment hinged on 'the approval of the ordi nance by the Mayor. In overruling the injunction. Judge Frazer said that it may seem that the court has turned down the expression of popular opinion, but that to do oth erwise Is a usurpation of the legisla tive functions of the Council. He said it was a case that the court had no right to interfere in. He reiterated the statement made on the former oc casion that it was bad form and wretched floor taste for the company to employ so many members of the' Council at a time when valuable fran chises were to be asked for. He said it was such mclhods as these that cre ated so much0rejudlce in Che minds 0f the people against corporations. Mayor Is Noncommittal. This morning a committee from the Oregon City Board of Trade called on Mayor Sommcr at his office and asked him if ho would consent to veto the franchise ordinance -when passed by the Council if a petition of remon strance was presented signed by 400 or 500 taxpayers. The Mayor refused to commit himself and, In fact, made no reply. In the committee were John Adams. W. L. Bloch. Harvey E. Cross', ,C. H. Dye. W. A. Huntley. J. TJ. Campboll. F. T. Barlow and a half-dozen other prominent citizens. DIREGT PRIMARIES AT ALBANY One Fault Is Found In Practical Workings of the Law. ALBANY. Or.. Nov. 4. (Special.) For the first time candidates for city officos were nominated under the pro visions of the direct primary nomina tions law in Albany today. The various aspirants for places on the ticket car ried on a spirited campaign, and the city presented the appearance of a general election. Many carriages were used getting -Voters to the polls, and though the full vote of the city was not recorded, a new record was estab lished in the Second Ward. Here there was a sharp contest between J. M. Ralston and A. J. Devaney, rival can didates for the nomination for Council man on the Democrntjc ticket A nolablo result of the election Is a weakness that appears in the -work ing of tho law. one party being per mitted to vote for candidates of the opposite party. Ralston, -who lost the Democratic nomination for Council man, received the nomination on the Republican ballot, that party having no candidate in the primaries. In the First Ward. Charles Pfelffer, Democrat, succeeded in securing tho nomination on both tickets, using the same system of writing the name in the ballot of the opposing party.

GOLD BRICKS FROM BOHEMIA Securities Company Is Not "Working oh Its Richest Ore. COTTAGE GROVE. Or.. Nov. 4. (Spe cial.) The Oregon Securities Company, of Bohemia, sent out four gold bricks today weighing OS pounds, containing about $14,000. This output Is the result of 21 days' run with ten of their -stamps. They were unable to run the other 20 stamps full time last month oa account of the breaking of one of their rock-crushers. With the broken one repaired and an ad ditional one Installed, they expect to keop all the stamps dropping this month. During a portion of last month they ran 25 stamps and the entire output of gold was over 309 pounds. The ore they have been running through the mill Is not the rich ore that was oncountered in the BroHdway. but was taken from the large body of ore opened up in one of the Champion loads. The company will not touch the Immensely rich ore In the Broadway for some time yet, as they will mill all the ore possible from the Musfck mine before the snow falls so deep that they will be unable to oporate the electric car line that Is almost completed between the Champion and the Muslck. As the company has many tons of ore in the Broadway that will yield $12,000 to $14,000 a ton, they may ship instead of milling, as -much fine gold is liable to bo lost going over the pl&tos.
