KKIHMtT ON UMATILLA HA ROVK TO WASHINGTON. At a Meeting Held In Portland l4Ut Saturday tlio East Umatilla Conn- . ty rrojoet W'aa Thorougldy Din rasMori iiihI Hm ltHrt Sent in No Intimation an Yet an to What the Final Dcelsloii Will Ho Meetlng Here Today Wax In tlio Intercut of the Washington IVoJnet. A. P. Davis, A. J. Wiley and D. C. Henny, consulting engineers of the -reclamation service, arrived here at noon today, coming over the W. & C. It., from North Yakima. This afternoon they have been In session here and will leave tonight for south ern Idaho where they will take up the projects now pending In that state. When seen after his arrival Mr. Heney, who Is the engineer In charge of the work throughout the north west, said that the present meeting had to do entirely with the Washing ton projects. According to him, the Umatilla project was treated at a meeting held In Portland last Saturday and that a report hud 'been sent to the depart ment at Washington regarding the Umatilla county enterprise. As to what the report contained, whether or not It favored any one of thesev eral particular schemes that have been planned fur the Irrigation of lands north of the Umatilla near Echo he refused to say. as he hela that It would be Improper for him to disclose the same before It had been given out from Washington. From calculations which he made. Mr. Heney believed that a statement would probably be given out at Wash ington by Thursday of this week. Whether the announcement given then will be to the effect that the scheme Is favorable and that work will bo ordered commenced or that It Is held up for some reason, remains to be seen. There was nothing dropped by the engineers here to show what their report favored unless an Inquiry by Mr. Heney regarding the Interest here In the Umatilla and Malheur projects was significant. After having said that the Umatilla project had been considered by the board at the Sat urday meeting he asked If there was much Interest being taken In the un dertaking by local people and if they really cared much whether the Uma tilla or the Malheur project were taken up first by the department. Whether or not this may be taken to mean that It Is a question which .project Is to be taken up first Is not known. However, Mr. Heney was as sured that there was Interest In the East Umatilla undertaking and that local people had ft decided preference lor Its being carried out first. CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET.

FRANCHISE MAY BEHELD OVER Prosent City Council May Not Act Upon the Proposed Ordinance. SENTIMENT IS AGAINST OAS AXD ELECTRIC MONOPOLY. ProvWons of tlio Xe Ordinance Are That fiat Must Be Equal to That Furnished hj- Portland, and Fl.tea the Cliarges to He Made Leaies: the .Matter of tlio Location of the Plant Open City Will Get Noth ing for First Five Years, Bmt Tlncroaftcr Will Hrelve Hennui erullon. From present Indications It look very much as though tho council -ere not going to take any action on tha application of the Northwestern Gaa & Electric company for a gas plant franchise. Three weeks ago a remon strance against locating the gaa plact on the site of the old electric power house. was presented by property owners of that district through Judge James A. Fee as their attorney. Slno that time another ordinance has been drawn up substantially the same aa the first one excepting that no loca tion is named for the plant at all. thus allowing the company to locate wherever they wish. j However while this ordinance has I ,.!-. lha rrmm it t oa for IWA L UCCIl Willi "i . weeks, no report has yet been made to the council on the same. Conae- louently it Is now possible that no ae- ?uln"f " ,. . h llu" ,"u, - the present council, and tnat proposition will be one of the things which the new administration will i have to face when it goes Into power. The franchise asked of the citjr Is for 25 years und In consideratloa tlie folluwir.g things are to he guar ontoed by the company: That the quality of gas shall be as good as that given to consumers of gas In the city of Portland; the price shall b $2 per 1000 feet for fuel only; $MI per 1000 feet for fuel and light, and $2.60 per 1000 feet for light only. All excavations made by the company shall be refilled so as to be as good as before; no pipe shall be laid with in two feet of any water pipe except where it crosses such and all plpea shall be plared two and one half feet below the grade of the street. As remuneration to the city for the franchise the company agrees to pay $200 for each year of the second fire years of the life of the franchise: $.100 for each year of the third fi years, $400 for each year of the fourth five years, and $500 for each year of the fifth five years. Nothing shall be, paid for the first five years of the franchise. Under the ordinance the gas plant must be completed and ready for use within one year from the granting of the franchise. However, there is strong opposition from all quarters against giving the gas franchise to the same company which controls the electric light and power now furnished the city. Pub lic sentiment favors a gas plant by other capital than that interested In the electric plant Details of Train's TrouhlcN. Washington. Oct. 31.
