COTOLH WILL NOT
EXTEND S. P. FRANCHISE
Railroad Must Get Off Fourth Street
Nov. 1, Unless Beaverton Route Is
Well Under Way O'Brien Sure Coun
cil Will Be Lenient and Extend Time
General Manager O'Brien of the Har
rtman llns""1n Oregon said this morning
that he would b able to got an exten
Ion of time from the city council to
complete the work .necessary to remov
ing1 Bteam locomotives and freight
trains from Fourth street, but a canvas
of opinions from councilmcn ihows that
there ts a decided sentiment among the
councllmen against arrant ins the exten
slon unless the company run show that
it nas been acting in good riuin ami
will act In good faith In removing the
nuisance.
There seems to be somothlfig behind
the delay of the railroad company In
constructing Its line from Ucavcrtiiii to
WlllsburK, and the councllmen way that
unless the company gets I'lisv at once
and shows that It really Intends com-
Kpletlng the line and removing the puff
fng locomotives and unsightly freight
onghfares of tho city they will not only
refuso to grant the extension, but will
ask the mayor to step In nnd see that
the terms of the ordinance passed May
1, 1907, are enforced to the letter.
Ouly On Non-committal.
Not one councilman wants the trains
on Fourth street. In that tliey ate
unanimous. Hut If tho company Is real
ly sncore In building It. I'.oaverton
Willsburg lino six say they- will favor a
reasonable extension- of Hm1. Four say
emphatically that they will not fuvor an
extension, whllo one said that he would
hot express an opinion until after he
had carefully studied the facta In tho
case. The remaining four councllmen
could not bo found to secure an opinion
from. v
Manager O'Brien stated this morning
that the company had been compelled to
top ooiirwsiiwttfc.iwajtc on. tha-Heayer-ton-Wlllsburg
line because of the finan
cial flurry, but that work would be re
sumed shortly. Me said that If work
were resumed tomorrow the company
could not complete the road by Novem
ber 1, and that an extension of time
Would be asked for, which he said he
expected -to receive.
Most of the members of the council
take a somewhat different view of the
matter, and say that they would only
favor such extension If It could he
hown that It was reasonable and that
the facts warrnnted It.
Thus far the company has done very
little toward completing the line. Part
of the grade has been established nnd
the foundations laid for the bridge at
Oswego. It Is said that the Iron for the
bridge Is In Portland ready to be sot up.
This Information Manager O'Ftrlen dn-
?led this morning, saving that it was
he old story abcrut the bridge Iron ly
ing on the east side and which he said
was to he used for bridges on the Tilla
mook line.
Councilman Take Stand.
Councilman Artnand visited the scene
of operations Sunday and said that lie
knew personally that the company had
dona some work on the branch and
that If the company representatives
could show good ralth he would favor
a reasonable extension of time, 1
Councilman Baker "This Is a bus
iness proposition. The people living on
the west side are to bo considered. If
the company does not show good faith
however, I am In favor of voting it
off the streot. If It does show good
faith I will favor a reasonable exten
sion." Councilman Beldlng "If the com-
rany shows good faith in the .matter
will favor a reasonable extension.''
Councilman llennett "No. I voted to
take the company's franchise at the
time tho ordinance was passed and I
am still In favor of doing so. If we
grant thorn un extension it may bo
construed that tho company has rights
on tho street nnd I do not think it
has. I will vote against and for a re
vocation of its frunchiso."
Councilman Cellars was not In the
council when the ordinance was passed
and said that he was not familiar wlih
the conditions. He said, that he would
be guided solely by the facts when
the matter came up before ths council
He also said that ne did not want the
line on Fourth street.
Councilman Concannon "If the com
pany wants an extension I shall vote
for It if It really needs It."
Tot A gains Extamsioa.
Councilman Cottel "No. This line
has kept South Portland back for years
and must be. removed as soon as pos
slblo. I have, the Interests of the real'
dents of South Portland nt heart and
not the Harriman Interests. 1 shall
bitterly oimoae any extension of time
councumen iinscou ana misniigni
could not be found and Councilman
Wills Is out of the city.
councilman Dunning "ir tne com
pany is acting In good faith I will favor
- Councilman icellaher "!No. Let -the
mayor carry out the terms of the or
dinance. The company has had plenty
of time In which to construct the line
and needs no further extension. Let
the company get off the street. I
am ready to take them off at the pres
ent time."
Councilman Menefee "It all depends
on what the company has done and will
do In respect to removing the cars. It
should be off the street. If they pro
ceed with the work of the line as rapid
ly as possible between now and Novem
ber 1, and then come In and ask for
a month or two I would not be"In
cllned to embarrass" them; Otherwise
I would not favor an extension."
No Mors Tim Heeded.
Councilman Vaughn "No. I did not
want to give them 18 months to per
form the work. I knew ftiat the com
pany would not get off the street and
that they were simply making prom
ises that would be broken later. Let
them get off tho street now."
Since the council passed the ordi
nance last year there has been a deep
sentiment stirred up. among f,he people
to compel me ranroa.0 io get orr tne
street, and If the company asks for an
extension It Is expected that there will
be considerable pressure brought to
hear upon the councllmen to refuse the
request.

Audiences Bore Kim Dreadfully.
Tho writer's close touch with th-5
pope's soolnl habits is shown by his ac

"Notwithstanding the fact that his

wide reputation for kindliness, gentle

very trvlng on him and tax his nerves
to the limit. Perhaps, one after another,
representatives of a dozen noble Roman

This Is th opinion expressed by Con
gressman William Sulzer of Now York,
who, with his wife, spent a few hours
today In Portland, en route to Alaska.
Tew men In pith' life are better In
formed as to political conditions than
Congressman Sulzer. Unlike many of
the men from New York who have been
prominent in national affairs, he Is well
acquainted with conditions In the mid
dle west and on the Pacific coast and he
speaks from wide experience and Intel
ligent personal observation. ' He Is par
ticularly at home In Portland, having
visited this city repeatedly. He was
oiui or the foremost advocates in con
gross of the appropriation for the Lewis1
and Clark exposition and has consist
ently urged the improvement of the
Columbia river.
Mi. Sulzer spent two weeks In Port
land In 19uS,, during the exposition, and
he speaks of it in the highest terms.
Prominent Character.
- Congressman Sulzer Is now serving
his seventh term In the house, of rep
resentatives and Is looked upon as one
of the foremost figures In that branch
of the national legislature. In the
event that the next house Is Democratic,
as seems most probable, ne will he a
formidable candidate for the speaker
ship. Ills views upon the presidential
campaign will naturally hev received
with Interest all over the United Htates.
"Bryan will win." said Mr. Sulzer In
the course of a discussion of the polit
ical situation. "It may be a landslide
In his favor, but in any case he will win.
Hryan will receive the electoral votes
of the solid south. Including Maryland
