JVR.; L & P. Company Not
; Trying to Be Fair, Asserts
father Fitzpatrick to the
2 Council Street Committee.
That the Portland Railway, Light and
Power company ought not to expect to
be given franchises the company seeks
'Without It also agrees to give the people
' of the city the benefit of car line ex
tension wherever the population in any
district is such as to Justify the cost
of -construction; and that the city coun-
ell Jim paid too little attention In the
' past to the petitions of citizens and en
tirely too much attention to the demands
'of the company, were statements made
' by Kev. Father James B. Fitzpatrick
of the church of the Acenslon in a
t speech made before the street committee
.0f the city council yesterday afternoon.
, Father Fitxpatrlca acted as spokes
man for a delegation from the east slope
of Mt"Tabor. The people In that local
ity, numbering about 2,000, have been
trying for years to get the 'company to
. extend Its Mt Tabor line over the hill
from t- present terminal at East Blty
ninth street
Better Berrloe Demanded.
The people of the district were told
by Vice President Fuller of the company
that it would cost In the nelgborhood
of $18,000 to lay the rails a half a mile
further. They offered before the coun-
ctl committee yesterday to contribute
half of this amount, or 19,000, toward
the cost of construction.
"We want service," said Father Flts--jatriclc,""and
we are willing to accept
any reasonable compromise, but it Is
unfair to expect us to walk from a mile
to a mile and a half to get a car even
If the extension of the line would not
pay at the start. We wlU bitterly op
pose the giving of further franchises
A Satiny Complexion
and Beautiful Hair
, (Mrs. a R. In Vernon's.)
- Hough and red skin, chaps and cold
ores are the bane of .women in Winter.
To get rid of these, apply Mother's
Salve before retiring. It Is splendid
remedy for pimples, eczema and other
-skin afflictions, and has no equal In
healing old sores, burns, scalds and
cuts.
!!A. better protection tlma powder for
the complexion Is to rub the face, neck
and arms gently with a solution made
by dissolving an original - package of
jnayatone In half pint of witch hazel.
It will not rub off or show and makes
, the skin soft, satiny and pliable, and
prevents growth of hair,.
Don't oatch cold washing your head.
To make a dry shampoo that will clean
the scalp and hair, put a cupful of corn
meal In fruit jar, add the oontents of
an original package Of therox, and
shake well. Sprinkle a spoonful on the
head and brush through the hair. It
will leave the hair light and fluffy and
noigaiea no original color.
In any, part pt the city unless the street
car company shall first grant us relief.
I do not believe the company is trying to
be fair, put, perhaps It will do some
thing for us If the city council Insists
that it should.
"It might be wejl for me to remind
this committee that the company pub
lished a number of newspaper articles
before the last election, promising the
people of the city, In the event that they
should defeat the "no seat, no fare' char
ter amendment that there would be a
reduction in the lighting rates. The
amendment was defeated, but there has
been no reduction as far as I have been
able to ascertain. The company has not
kept Its promises."
Vice President Fuller of the company
answered Father Fltipa trick by saying
that he does not consider It feasible to
extend the Mt.. Tabor line on account
of the heavy grade. He said It would
cost too much and that the company
finds It difficult to float bond Issues
unless It can show that the revenue to
be derived by a given extension will Jus
tify the expenditure.
City Attorney Grant asked Mr. Fuller
If the whole system of the company In
Portland 1s being operated at a loss.
The railway official replied to this, but
said that the St. Johns line had been
losing money every yer.r for 22 years.
, Asks a Question.
Mr. Fuller asked the coUncilmen pre
sent If they would think of spending
money In their own' private businesses
without assuring themselves of an ade-
auate return.
"Well, the Portland Railway, Light
and Power company Is different from I
private 'corporation," declared City At
torney Grant "It is a public service
concern and, as such, must serve all the
people. If we had a public service com
mission the company could be oompeiled
to extend lines anywhere in the city
limits provided the oost of any exten
slon would not make the company lose
money on the street tar system as
whole."
Chairman Baker of the committee told
the de'ecatlon from Mt Tabor to confer
with the street car company ofuclals
and endeavor to obtain the company's
consent to extend one of its lines Into
the district It is possible that the com
pany may be prevailed upon to run the
Hawthorne line around tne mu lor a
half a mile or so..
Amedxnenta Offered.
A lonsr list of amendments to the pro
posed franshlses were offered by the
company yesterday. Some of these were
accepted by the oommlttee, some were
rejected and some laid on the table.
City Attorney arant wants uie coun
cil to Insert a clause giving the olty
the right to regulate reasonably the
fares to be charged by the company. A
majority of the committee voted against
any fare regulation which will permit
the present rate of five cents to be re
duced. Counclhnen Joy, Schmeer and
Magulre are euportlng the city attorney.
Councilman Burgard yesterday accused
some of these councllmen of "playing
politics." He said a reduction of the
present rate would be unreasonable.
The committee adjourned without hav
ing completed Its labors. The Broadway
bridge franphlse and the Seventh street
franchise are still undecided.

EX-SHERIFF GETS
BEST OF BURGLAR
A bold bad burglar probably did not
know that It was the residence of an
x-sherlff he was trying to enter at an
early hour this morning, or he would
have made a different selection for the
scene of his labors. As It was he got
much the worst of the deal at the hands
of ex-Sheriff W. A. Storey.
It was about 4 o'clock this morning
that Mr. Storey's daughter was awak
ened by a noise at the front door. She
aroused her parents. The former sher
iff grabbed his trusty revolver and
slipped to the door. As his ' wife
turned on the porch light he quickly
opened the door and, sticking the gun
n the burglars race, commanded him
to throw up his hands.
The ex-sheriff then commanded the
would-be Intruder to "hit the high
places," which he das not backward In
doing.
