CANCELLATION OF
J'VILLE FRANCHISE
The city council last sight did not
pass the ordinance to cancel the
franchise or the Mediord-Jaekson-vllie
railroad, having, decided after
much discussion to move carefully
and slowly, adhering closely to the
legal aspects of the situation.
This action was finally decided on
oul of courtesy to w. S. Barnum, for
mer owner of the railroad and holder
of the mortgage on tt, who wrote two
weeks ago that he would be home by
May 1 and would then at once take
up the matter of the lack of repairs
complained of. The council was also
influenced not to act at once because
the railroad management has been
busy ail, week repairing the holes be
tween the tracks on Main street.
The mayor and council, however,
are determined to bring the road's
management to time and make it
walk chalk in the future. It is tho
present plan of the city officials to
i arrange a conference Between mem
and Mr. Barnum, 4. 8. uagnon, prca-
I ent owner, and J. W. Opp, present
lessee from Uagnon, and reach an
amicable agreement by which the
city would declare the franchise for
feited and issue a new franchise.
which would require the railroad to
file a $1000 or more bond with the
citv to guarantee to keep the road
in repair In the future. The road's
franchise is in two sections, the older
section having run 32 years, and the
nihor nne. the Main street section, for
several years.
It was a busy night for the coun
cil, mayor and city attorney, as In ad
dition to passing the city planning
commission zone ordinance a number
nf nther ordinances relating to delln
quent properties and .segregation ot j Portland liospi-
properties were passed, and proposed ; '

S. P. OFFICIALS
HERE TO DISCUSS
GRADE CROSSINGS
E. L. King, superintendent ot the!
Southern Pacific railroad, and Benj
Itey, attorney for the same, arrived!
here from Portland this morning and i
were met at the depot by Mayor Cad-
dls and CouncUinen Butler, Paul.
Alenderfer, Close, Jacobs and Butler
and City Superintendent Davis and
City Attorney John H. Carkin.
The railroad officers and the city
officials lost no time in delving into
the improvements asked for by the
city ot the railroad, including tho es
tablishment of a subway at 6th
street and certain track changes to
the end that the crossing delay caus
ed by freight trains would practically
be done way with, and the city's ap
pearance along the right of way
would be much Improved.
The dav was spent iu discussion
and looking over the suggested
r flanges and the local railroad situa
tion generally. The outcome of this
conference will probably not be
known until tonight, when Messers.
King and Dey will leave for Port
land. First thing after his arrival .here
this morning Superintendent King
explained that important changes de
cided on by the railroad management
for Medford months ago would be
nut intn effect anv dav now. as soon
as the board of directors of the;
Southern Pacific had approved the
recommendation of the officials.
These changes which It is claimed,
would reduce the crossing delay in
the city to a minimum, are independ
ent of the track changes being made
now In the depot and yard.
They include the building ot a
freight side track In the yards north
of the passenger depot to Jackson
street, which would accommodate 75
to 80 cars, and another simitar track ;
south from the south end of the.
fards to accommodate the same num
ber of cars. The water tank will bo
removed from Its present location toj
s site in the neighborhood ot Jackson j
street.
These changes would leave only
lite switch engine and one or two
cars to pass through the yards at va
rious times day and night, and the;
freight trains arriving from north!
and south would do all their stop
ping and cutting oat of cars on the
tracks at tho north and south ends
of the yards. Hence the freight trains
from both directions would pass
through the heart of the city over
the crossings at good speed, each
passing In from one to one and a
half minutes, it is said.

Do Your Feet Hurt?
When shoes pinch or corns and
bunions ache, get a package of Alien
Foot-Ense. the antiseptic, healing
powder to be shaken into the shoes.
It takes the sting out of corns, bun-
Ions and callouses, and gives instant
retief to Smarting, Aching, Swollen
feet. At night when your feet ache
and barn from walking or dancing,
sprinkle some Allen's Foot-Knee In
the foot-bath and you will solve your
foot troubles. Over 1,800.000 pounds
of powder for the feet were used by
our army and navy during the war.
