She reports them all In prosperous condition, many of them Increasing their mem ship and much Interested work. J .......................4 iny of ? iember- I In the I months ago to Inquire Into the condi tions and provisions of franchises in Portland, held a brief meeting yester day morning and listened to a report by City Attorney Kavanaugh. Including his opinion as to the power of the Council to regulate service on the lines of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company or to revoke Its blanket franchise because It has aban doned some short lines without author ity from the city. In brief. It Is that the Council cannot revoke the fran chise for these violations, but that, under the police power, reasonable regulation of traffic may be made. - The Council has ample power, Mr. Kavanaugh held, to revoke the hy draulic elevator franchise of the Port land Railway, Light & Power Com pany, which was originally granted to the Portland Hydraulic Elevator Com pany, and was taken over by the street car corporation. The plant was dis mantled, and Is no longer In use, but the company Is said to be supplying electrical current Instead to the pat ron. The special commltee will make Its report to Mayor Lane In the near future, and the M.-iyor -will then for ward It to the Council. It Is doubtful whether the Council will take cog nizance of the report, as the commit tee was not authorized by the Council. NEW DIVERSION" RATE IS MADE Reduced From ,55 to $2 Per Car. Shippers Still Come Out Ahead. By virtue of a new diversion rule to be adopted on the O. R. & N. lines January 3, the diversion charge will be reduced from $5 to J2 per car. This will apply to freight diverted in transit or after arrival at first destina tion. "The charge of $5 per car was made," said W. D. Skinner, assistant general freight agent for the Harrlman lines, "because of the abuse which had been carried on in the diversion of certain classes of traffic, causing the deten tion of cars, congestion of terminals, additional clerical force required to keep track of cars, etc The charge has. however, been reduced and Is not assessed as a revenue proposition, but serves as a check on the use of the diversion privilege. It Is the purpose of the rule to prevent the abuse of the privilege and at the satjpe time to per mit the diversion In legitimate cases at reasonable rates. "In such cases, the diversion charge will prove far less expensive to ship pers than the combination of the local freight rates that would be charged In the event of shipments of freight ac tually being transferred from one point of delivery to another. By tak ing advantage of the diversion charge, shippers may still take advantage of the transcontinental rate as against the combination of local freight rates." PASSENGER TO DEPOSIT FAKE Innovation to Be Tried on Pay-as- You-Enter-Cars. New pay-as-yoti-enter cars will be put lnervk-e by the Portland Railway, Light & Power l'onirflny about December 10. The cars are fitted up and ready for service with the exception of the Instal lation of the cash boxes, which are now on their way from the East. These boxes are of glass and will be placed in the en trance of each car. Pauscngers will drop their fare, either coin or ticket. Into this box. The conductor will make change, if necessary, and will see to It that each passenger drops h'w fare In the box as he enters. That to err is human Is rec osniied by the streetcar company In n-.aking the boxes glass. If bad coins are dropped, the conductor can see rnem in stantly. The system is exactly the same as that in uee on the elevated trains in New York City. The new cars will be put in service on Twenty-third' and Mor rison streets and Hawthorne avenue. 15 per cent orf on uiabrel'as at Metzger's, 34 2 Washington street.

' Leaving Portland on trolley cars at 1:10 P. M. yesterday. 150 members of the Portland Realty Board and their guests were conveyed to Vancouver. Wash. I'pcn arrival at the foot of Main street the excursionists were met by a committee representing realty men of that city and its Commercial Club. Cars were held in waiting by the Vancouver Street Railway Company, and a trip was made out through the main streets of the city and on Into newly platted additions, about three miles from the business section. On return the cars were stopped In front of the Commercial Club and the visitors were welcomed there and refreshments were served. In one room were boxes of apples grown in the vicinity, also Erglish walnuts and confectionery, the former of home growth and the-latter of local manufacture. In another room sandwiches and coffee were served by a committee composed of wives of members of the club, assisted by theii daughters. In still another, room a liquid product of the city was dispensed and a bowl of punch also did duty. I. M. Schwartz, president of the club, mounted, "a chair in the main parlor ana extended a -welcome to the visitors, closing by Introducing Mayor E. M. Green, who added words of welcome on behalf of the city. President Fries and Secretary .Rountree responded on be half cf the Realty Board, after which felicitous remarks were made by J. H. Elwell, State Senator Eastham and E. E. Beard, editor of a new dally paper, on behalf of Vancouver, and by Tom Richardson, C. C. Chapman, represent ing the Ad Club, and Ernest Kroner, representing the Architects Club, on behalf of the visitors. On the return over the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railroad, the excur- , slonists had, many of them, their first view. of the two big bridges, the site of the Union Meat Company's plant under course of building, the new lines of connecting roads centering in the vicinity and the termln .1 yards at the foot of Tenth street. : Members "of the board w jre loud tn words of praise for the he rty manner in which their reception an a entertain ment in Vancouver were j carried out, and to a man expressed tlii belief that, with the advent of the North Bank Road, the city Is destirj ed to grow rapidly.

Portland Experts GjOver Books and Find Careless Methods of Entry With Shortage of $6000.. As the result of an investigation of the records of County Treasurer West, of Wahkiakum County, Wash., that of ficial has been arrested on a charge of embezzling sums aggregating nearly $2000. He is now under $4000 bonds. West will he tried at the January term of. court. The investigation of the rec ords was conducted, by E. H. Callis and J. w. Ferguson, accountants, of Port land, at the diiection of the County Commissioners. The results of their work have been, compiled in a pam phlet which has just been published for circulation among the taxpayers of Wahkiakum County. - West has been County Treasurer for a number of years. . He was nominated for County Auditor at' the September primaries, and. there being ,no other candidate he was duly elected at the general election; though his arrest had occurred prior to that date. . The report of Messrs. Callis and rer guson sets forth that the office of County Treasurer has been conducted in a most lax manner, and that the county funds have not been kept with conscientiousness, either as to their record or handling. -The report shows that Instead of canceling the warrants after drawing checks on the county funds, he has permitted them to draw interest and has charged the county with the interest. Part of the shortage Is accounted for by falsification of the warrant registers. A large number of warrants Is also missing from the flies of the office. Developments are expected when the taxpayers of the district are fully ad vised of the deficit. - Compiling Election Returns. OLTMPIA. Wash.; Nov. 2S (Special.) State election returns have now been re ceived from all the counties and are now being tabulated at the offices of the Sec retary of State for the Legislature, which will canvass them in January. Totals will be made up tomorrow and printed abstracts are expected Monday.
