NEW TERMINAL PLAN.
It Is to Move Railroad Avenue
on the Rams Horn.
TO AVOID GRADE CROSSINGS.
General Manager Smiths Idea OF Sow
Ing the Prob,em-Great North.

TO AVOID GRADE CROSSINGS

General Manager Smith, of the Oregon
improvement Company, has new scheme
for the settlement of the vexed questions
of railroad terminals and Of the rams
horn right-of-way. He proposes to move
Railroad avenue over to the rams horn.
He outlined his plan to PosT-lsTELLI-
GENcER reporter yesterday thus:
The rams horn right-of-way, which 10 now
thirty feet wide, should have sixty feet added
to it, making ninety feet in all That would
make room for four tracks, one incoming, one
outgoing and sidetrack on each side OF the
avenue. 1t would be advisable to make 1t ninety
feet wide for only four tracks in order 10 allow
the engineer to sight around curves ior safe
distance. terminal company could be readily
arranged for the operation OF tracks on this
avenue, and the present Railroad avenue could
be abandoned. The Oregon Improvement
Company would put its thirty feet into such
scheme, and believe that the Northern Pacific
would also be willing to give up the present
Lake Shore franchise and go in, though can't
state positively that it would. The main OBJ
stacle is the objection of the Great Northern to
giving up its present franchise and going in.
though it could put in its tracks on the present
Railroad avenue to be used as sidings and
switches
This scheme could be carried out without any
expense to the city. for the terminal company
WOuiQ pay fOr the aQQltl0naI Sixty Ieet needed
and the city need only grant the necessary fran
chises. 1t would enable the city to make over
head crossings for all the streets running down
to the water front north of Columbia street and
would save the wharf property from being dam
aged by railroads. This scheme would admit
not only the roads at present entering the city,
but any which may come in the future. AS it
is now. any railroad has considerable difficulty
in getting franchise through the city or any
portion of il, but with q terminal company it
would only have to connect with the terminal
tracks to get the same facilities the other
roads. The rams horn might be Strengthened
at points, but not at others without cutting
into valuable Improvements.
This Is practical scheme and we shall lay it
before the special committee of council which
has the franchise question in hand. OF one fact
/ am positive: we have got the rams horn, we
are going to use it, and we cannot be beaten out
of it,
Meanwhile the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific are working on the
scheme proposed some time ago by Presi-
dent Hill, of the former road. Vice-Pres-
ident Clough, OF the Great Northern. and
J. w. Kendrick, chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific, will be here some time
in June to examine the ground once more
with view to reaching an agreement.

Why the Boulevard II Not Lighted.
In regard to the discussion at the meet
ing of the board of aldermen on Monday
on the failure of the Seattle Electric Rail-
way and Power Company to light the
Lake Union Boulevard, L. H. Griffith,
manager of the Consolidated Street Rail-
way Company, which succeeded that COM
pany, said yesterday:
We have not as yet provided the lights, be-
cause, having tested the proposition from our
railway plant, we find it impracticable, owing
to the long distance between lamps running In

proposition ourselves, but 1t is not q forfeiture

willing to do our part, we are unwilling to light
up that part of the city along our lines with
special lamps and special expense, AZ we believe

The report shows large balance in the
treasury and finds the brokers more
thoroughly In harmony with the rail-
roads than ever before. Several railroads
ormerly antsgonistic to the brokers are now
working in harmony, to the advantage Of both
brokers and companies. Eight or nine attempts
were made in different legislatures to smuggie
through bills detrimental TO the brokers, but
were defeated in every case, and for the thirty
third time the state Legislatures have declared
in favor OF property rights In railroad transpor-
tation as in other commodities

he considered it part of the business OF the

TIE PROPERTY OWNERS ought to hurry up with the construction of sidewalks in the business section. There is a great deal of work of this sort to be done if the business part of the town is to be put in iirst-class condition. Undoubt- edly some of the unenterpyising owners of business property will neglect to lay good sidewalks, but this ought not to deter the others from doing their duty. It will he bad enough if there shall be one defective sidewalk when the influx sets in, but it will be much worse if there shall be more.

THE LEADING supporters of Mr. Blaine in the Minneapolis convention are re- covering from their disappointment. Long before the campaign ends all the soreness and bitterness will have been forgotten, and in every state in the Union the Republicans will be working enthusiastically and earnestly for the success of the ticket and will probably give MT. Harrison bigger majority this year than it gave him in 1888, es- pecially if MT. Cleveland shall again be his opponent.

WE HAVE heard nothing of a Fourth of July celebration in Phoenix save the individual efforts of one enterprising citizen. Can it be possible that there is no patriotism in the breasts of our citi- zens? A good rousing celebration would, besides instilling patriotism in tine young, be fruitful of much good for the business men of the city, as it would draw many people from nelghboring towns and from the surrounding coun- try. If any action is to be taken, it should be without further delay.
