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.

VANCOUVER IS VISITED
PORTLAND REAITY BOARD
GOES OX EXCURSION".
Takes In Sights and Hospitality of
City Across River snd Gains
Points on Its Growth.
' 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. There was alsf much sur
prise expressed at the r ipld-progress
made' in the last few tr anths In lay

FIND SHORTAGE IN AGODUNT
WAHKIAKUM 1 COUNTY SHER
IFF'S BOOKS WRONG.
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.
