F RANGHI5 EIS BEING NVESIIGATED The matter of granting the 25-year franchise to tho Northwestern Gas & Eloctrlc Company. Is now In tho hands of tho city council, the mem bers of which aro seriously consld nrintr tho nlan on which tho fran chise should bo granted. The matter was not brought up at tho regular meeting of tho council last night and that body is investi gating tho different plans on which such franchises are granted before taking tho important step. Th pnnnrnl tondencv toward mu nicipal ownership of such industries and the insignificant sum offered to the city in return for this franchise of a quarter of a century's duration Is causing the council to make full Inquiry among tho taxpayers before making the deal to tie the city up for such a term of years. Tho happy results from tho per centage basis, on which the tele phone franchise was granted in Ba ker City and the possibility of the income from this gas plant becoming one of tho chief sources of revenue, if granted upon tho percentage basis, aro facts which are claiming the at tention of the council. SHIPPING RATES INCREASE. Seattle Firms More Active in Austra lian Lumber Trade. Seattle, April 7.

Since th 0 rates have jumped to 33s 9d between Puget Sound ports and Sydney, Australia, and 40s to Melbourno and Adelaide a number of vessels have taken charters for Aus: trallan ports and the west coast. On late order loading from Puget Sound ports to Sydney shippers are holding out for 35s, while for Mel bourne and Adelaide they want 42s Cd, and the shippers aro of the opin ion that owing to the large demand for lumber in Australia they will ex perience no trouble whatever In get ting those rates.
