Inquiry among a number of Corvaliis business men and other citizens indicates that public senlinieiit ia in favor of grant ing the street franchises asked by the Southern Pacific railway. The application was referred to the ordinance committee of the city coun cil, who are expected to take action within a few days and draft a report fxr action by the council at its next regular meeting, August 16. This com mittee is composed of F. M. Rondeau, chainnan; C. F. Wagner, J. H. Kd wards, A. K. Andrews and J. M. How ard. The terms asked by the railway com pany are as follows:, as explained to The Journal by Mr. Rondeau: Terms Explained. Double trackage with switching privileges along the line of Sixth street now occupied by the company's steam line, no standing cars on this street; double trackage on Ninth street, now, tile Jiiain line into the town and pre sumably necessary to the operation of the steam cars over the Corvaliis & Kastern line after the elect rifacatidh of the main line; single trackage on Washington street between Sixth and Ninth; and single trackage on Van Buren, Monroe, Madison or Tyler. Suit to collect a forfeited bond of the Southern Pacific company was at one time ordered begun by the recent out going council, but it is understood that that order was rescinded and the matter remains in statu quo. Start Work Soon. In case the new franchise is granted and electrification of the line from Whiteson to Corvaliis carried out ac cording to the terms of the franchise, it now seems that public, sentiment is in favor of easement of those proceed ings in the interests of cooperation and mutual good will. It is said that the work of electri fying will be undertaken as soon as an agreement with the city of Corvaliis is reached and that it will be com pleted withineight or ten months. About three quarters of a million dollars is said to be the cost ef mak ing the change. Corvaliis Will Pave. Corvaliis, Or., Aug. 7.

After the former grades on Van Bu ren between Second street and the bridge were corrected to suit the con ditions as viewed by property owners, remonstrances were withdrawn and the street will be paved. This is the- main street entrance from the east side and its bad con dition in winter is often denounced as a disgrace to the town. Twenty-fifth street will be paved, although some opposition had to be overruled. A number of other streets were or dered improved and will be graded and graveled.
