! PROCEEDINGS?
MAY BE RESORTED TO TO
SECURE A RIGHT OF WAY.
Last Legal Obstruction to the Clear
ance of West Court Street Extension
Is Mr.. Raines' Refusal to Accept
$225 for Right of Way After an
Agreement Had Been Reached and
Deed Was Signed by Mrs. Raines.

Because Nate Raines has refused
to sign a deed giving a right of way
acress his property on West Court
street, the opening of that street is
temporarily blocked. When the mat
ter of opening the street was first
raised, Mrs. Raines, who owns the
property, asked 1925 for right of
way through her land. This amount
was raised by popular subscription,
and after the council ordered the
opening of the street the money was
paid her and she signed deed for
the right of way. However, Mr..
Raines declined to do so and asked
$500 for the right of way.
When the council decided to open
the street, a committee consisting of
j. r. Dickson, c. w. Brownfield and
Joseph Basler was appointed to ap-
praise the property in the right of
way. Should Mr.. Raines insist on
holding out against accepting the
s225, 1t is said condemnation proceed
ings will soon be undertaken. In
that case it is said he may secure
less than the amount originally asked
for.

Oakland, Cal, April AT 8 this
morning the Carmen's union unanim-
ously adopted the agreement reached
yesterday between their leaders and
the traction company, thus averting
the threatened strike.
This is only part victory for the
men, the main points gained being
recognition of the union and hearing
minor concessions. The demand for
for discharged employees, and some
increased wages was not granted. The
present wage scale is to remain in
force until January, 1907.
mot only are the employees of the
Oakland Traction Consolidated salts
fled in every detail with the written
agreement with the corporation, but
now there Is a fair understanding
mutually, of the working conditions
between all Interested" said A. D.
Mahon. president of the International
| Organization of Street Car employees
in an interview this morning. The
union has won a decided victory, as
| practically the union Is fully recog.
nized by the Oakland Traction Con-
solidated."

tions of the Red desert considera-
BILE loss was suffered by some flock
masters who had failed to provide
hay for their stock, but in most in
stances owners rushed in plenty of
hay and corn for the snowed-in
flocks.
In the Pinedale country, north of
Rock Springs and in the Muskrat
country, east of Lander, the heaviest
losses occurred, but even In these
places the loss will not exceed 10 or
IL per cent among sheep, and prac-
tically no losses among cattle.
Livestock losses have been confined
almost wholly to sheep, for cattle
haye not suffered to speak Of. Here
and there an old COW or calf has
perished, but for the cattle business
the present winter has been an ex-
ceptionally favorable one, and the
losses will not exceed per cent
Horses have wintered well and nc
losses are reported.

BLOCKED WAY IN OR OUT.
Engineers Declare they Followed
Owners Orders.

Chicago, April 4.-The Daily News
correspondent at Paris cables that
the ministry of public works an
nounces that not only three men, sup
posed to be lost in the Courrieres
mines came out alive this morning
but knocking is distinctly heard in
several parts of the mine, particular
ly at pit No. 4, where evidently more
men are to be rescued.
This news Is not published in Paris
and 1t Is bound to increase the indig-
nation against the engineers who, II
is alleged, instead of trying to save
the miners. simply blocked the en-.
trance to save property. There seem:
to be every reason to believe thai
hundreds could have been saved bur
for this action.
With their backs to the wall ant
fighting public wrath, the engineers
are making sensational disclosures
declaring they obeyed the orders o
the owners.

Chicago, April 4.-Three PROPOSE
tions were submitted at yesterdays
election: First, whether the city
should proceed to operate street rail-
ways. This proposition required the
Endorsement Of three-fifths of tho
vote cast. or total of 231, 900 votes,
II received $4,000 or nearly $4,000
short of the necessary number.
The second proposition involved the
approval of a S75,000,000 issue of
street railway certificates according
10 a recent ordinance passed by the
council. 1t wac carried by about
$500 votes.
Expression without Force.
The third proposition which was
simply on a question of public policy
and has no legal effect, is shall the
city secure municipal ownership and
the operation of street railways under
the Mueller law instead of granting
the franchises TO private companies.'
This was carried by about $500
votes. Mayor Dunno construed the
passage of the s75.000,000 certificates
and the public policy proposition as
a victory of municipal ownership. but
he expressed disappointment over the
defeat Of municipal operation.
Dunno Has Courage.
He predicted, however, that the peo.
pie will vote for operation by bis
majority when the proper time comes
The election was the most interesting
to the Chicago voters held in many
years. Party lines were largely ignor'
ed and the eligibility of candidates
will depend more upon the attitude o.
municipal ownership Of street carr
and the high license saloons thar
anything lese.
OF the 35 aldermen elected today
Mayor Dunno claims they will hav'
much less difficulty In passing thu
municipal ownership ordinances thar
has been his fortune heretofore, while
his opponents declare that Dunno viii
have no better success in the future
than in the past.
There is 4 feeling OF bitterness per
vading all classes favoring municipa
ownership, that BODIES trouble shoult
a sufficient number of the new alder
men prove recreant to their pledge
and by obstruction and refusal refus
to carry out the policy expressed b!
vest erday's election. A movemen
similar TO that which defeated fran
chises In Philadelphia a year ago ever
with a majority of the aldermen ia
voring those franchises. is imminen
here, and 1t will probably be organized
Immediately, to bring pressure upol
the aldermen-elect.

At the council meeting tonight
street paving will again be the absorb
ing theme. Ordinances defining the
different classes of pavement, and
resolution asking for bids have been
prepared by City Attorney Carter and
will be presented tonight. The prep
aration of these measures has in
volved considerable work on the part
of Mr.. Carter, and he has been kept
busy since the special meeting Friday
night.
Although some have been discour-
aged because of the delay in the street
paving movement, there Is every in.
dication that the matter will be car
ried through by the council. Tho
members favoring pavement are still
firm in the stand they took some time
ago, and with one exception are hope
full Of carrying the day. The excep-
ton Is Councilman Ell, who has been
somewhat disheartened since last
meeting.
At the meeting tonight the council
| will ask for bids on the various classes
| of paving. Ten days will be allowed
for the epresentation Of bids, and when
they are all in, one particular method
will be selected. A resolution propos-
| ing to improve with that form of
pavement will then be passed and
advertised for 10 days. Should two
thirds of the property owners not re-
monstrate the work may then be or
dered. AS to whether or not bids
will then be called for that particular
pavement, there is a difference Of
opinion. Should it be necessary. 10
days more will be required. In that
case there would be 80 days of adver-
tising and 1t would be impossible to
let the contract before May.
