V Opposition by east Bide realdenU to t the entrance of the Mount Hood Railway ft Power company came to the surface yesterday afternoon at the session of the street committee of the city coun cil Attorney James Oleason, who lives on Weldler street, We of the thorough fares to be traversed if the proposed franchise of the railway company Is granted, said he had removed from the west Bide of the river because of the noise of the trains of the United Rail ways. , "And now when I have settled down in V residence neighborhood, another rail road comes alone to" disturb me and my family, said the attorney. "I think this franchise shculd not be granted without f first giving the residents of the east side along the rbute proposed to be traversed a hearing." , The committee decided not to consider the franchises at yesterday's meeting, but to take up the discussion at a spe cial meeting Monday, January 16, at 3 o'clock In the afternoon.

In spite of a remonstrance on the part of " property owners and the' objections of Councilman Concannon. In whose (ward the pavement was laid, the street committee voted to reoommend the pas 8age of an ordinance assessing the cost of improving Savier street. The Im provement consists of 10 blocks of as phalt, nine of which have been com pleted. The tenth block 1 being held tup by the United Railways company's failure to receive a shipment of steel Trrom the east. Councilman Concannon blocked the passage tf the assessment ordinance at the last meeting by object ing to a third reading at one session, lie said his constituents were willing to pay for the street when It wes fin ished, but did not believe they should psy for benefits they had 'not received. Councilman Rushlight was the only one to vote against tiie passage of the as sessment ordinance yesterday. "Does a man get the same benefit from an Im provement whether It Is completed or :not?" asked Mr. Rushlight of City At- tomey Grant. Tho city attorney replied that in some cases the man might, and In others might not. B. F. Safety Oats Discussion.

He said j tits only objection to Councilman Kubll's Nnotlon was that it was not definite pnough, lit that it did not specify any jell.

' WILL BOOST TOGETHER (Special Dlapatch to The Journal.) Centralla, Wash., Jan. 7. The Com mercial club of Centralla has Just de cided to Inaugurate a publicity cam paign in conjunction with the Citizens' club of Chehalls, and to take up the matter with the publicity department of the Southern Pacific railway.

Descriptive literature will be pre pared, giving Illustrative accounts of the county generally, and both cities specifically. It Is believed that both cities and the county will reap better benefits by combining forces, and the cities of Centralla and Chehalls are to be linked by reciprocal ties of interest in the publicity campaign. - The cities are busy with the problem of freight rates- Complaint are to be filed witll the State Kallroad commis sion covering local ratets, and with the Interstate Commerce commission re garding Interstate rates.

It Is thought here that the recent activities of the local company have caused the big cor poration to send its surveyors here to either frighten the smaller concern Into abandoning its project or to begin con struction work first and crowd tne as set company out There Is only one good pass through the coast mountains between Eugene and the Sluslaw tnd both companies have their surveys through it, the Southern Pacific hav ing recently run a preliminary survey from Junction City to Gardiner by that route.

The meetings are being held dally and nightly In the office of State Superintendent of Schools Alderman. Yesterday and last night the commit tee put In its time on a bill which In conjunction with similar laws to be enacted in other states and already In force In some, will make state certifi cates good throughout the union. It Is a measure that was recommended at the last two national conferences of the state school superintendents, and prac tically proposes uniform requirements for teachers throughout the United States. The measure proposes also to recog nise diplomas and certificates given by accredited high schools and institutions of higher learning and doing away with examination where such diplomas and certificates are held. It also will take the examinations, In cases where exam inations will still be necessary, out of the hands of the county superintendents and will place them In the hands of the state department. It will make provi sion also to have certificates renewed when once given. PERSONAL William J.

One of the: old time paving wars' that flourished during the administration of Dr. Lane and in the early days of the present regime resulted yesterday in the defeat of the wood blpck interests. The fight was started by that company in an effort to break Into the local field but the promoters reckoned without the city charter and in addition tried to put a higher priced pavement in the district claimed by the Warren Construction company. . This latter company had filed a peti tion of property owners to Improve Kearney street from Fifteenth tp Twenty-fifth street with bltullthlc. Accord ing to the charter, a petition of this kind must be signed by owners of at least 20 per cent of the property abut ting the street proposed to be Improved. The bltullthlc company filed Its pe tition, but agreed to let It remain on file In the street committee box for sev eral months on request of Councilman Wallace, who Is Interested In property on Kearney street It finally decided that the petition had been In storage long enough when it became known that the wood block, people had circulated a petition to have the street paved with their material. Wallace's Protest Unavailing. At the last council meeting the coun cil adopted a resolution of Intention to Improve Kearney street with-bltullthlc In spite of the protest of Councilman Wallace, who declared that the major ity of the property owners wanted wood blocks and not bltullthlc. At that meet ing a petition, signed by the owner of 47 lots of a total of 140 affected had been presented by the wood block peo ple. The bltullthlc Interests had only 25 lots, that being the requisite 20 per cent. Contrary to expectations the bltu llthlc company did not rest on Its vic tory at the last meeting of the council, but determined to get a supplemental petition J'.ist to show- Its rivals that the majority of the property owners really wanted bltullthlc. This petition was brought to tho street committee yester day. It showed that the signers for blt ullthlc were owners of 69 lots as against 47 represented by the wood block peti tion. A dumber of property owners ap peared before the committee to present their views, all In favor of bltullthlc. and Councilman Wallace declared that tho meeting , had been packed by the agents of that company. Chairman An nand of the committee resented this Im putation. He said If there had been any manipulation he had not been aware of It. Somo of the property owners scowled at Councilman Wallace, but said nothing to him. All the property owners based their desire for bltullthlc, rather than wood DELICATE CHILDREN Made Strong and Healthy by Vinol.
