Acknowledgements to deliberate up
ON the street car franchises asked for,

lie improvements as water-wOrks,

ance for months before taking any

not likely to give away the very bus

haste to do the railway company's
bidding.

trains in the North are often operated
with electric motors. And all proper
ty AUDITING upon the streets on which
these electric systems are operated

not be used on this track, yet
the tonnage OF the motors or

Some timid people are afraid that,
If we don't do Twelfth street up in a
neat tissue paper. tied with baby blue
ribbons place it on a silver salver
and humbly present it to the railroad
company with our very best compli-
ments. the company may not build
the international bridge within con-
yenient distance of the center of the
city yet. the proposed franchise
does not bind the company to build
the bridge within less than 1890 feet
OF the passenger ferry. Have you any
idea how far chat would be from the
center of the town? 1t taxes Just
$3.50 feet to make a mile. See what
part of a mile $500 feet make. and
then you will see where the bridge is
likely to be located. In fact, the
franchise does not bind the company
TO build any bridge at all. 1t may
build some bridge piers anywhere
within about three fifths of mile
from the passenger ferry. and when
the bridge is thus well and truly be-
gun the company will be entitled to
take possession of Twelfth street.
The bridge need not be built at all
to secure the right to this street, IN

civ attorney.

My Opinion of brownsville.

What do l think OF Brownsville
what do [? Let me see
VIVA. imDressions-wha remem-
with me?
Not the strains of La Paloma, soft
and sweet and dear though they
Seemed to come to me and linger;
not the speaking, nor the play
OF the lights on the strange faces of
the strollers in the park,
Not the laughter nor the perfume of
the blossoms in the dark.
Not the gifts the gods hold for her
wrapped and waiting on their
knees,
Not her futures towering structures,
nor the laden argosies
That shall bring her DER the ocean all
the wide worlds richest stories,
Silks in bales, and gold in ingots TO
discharge before her doors;
Nay, though those things much i'm
pressed me with the promises they
hold,
Here today my mind is dwelling not
on rustling silks and gold
Nay, today l see red blossoms, and
glad children, and the sun
Lights their eager eyes and faces,
and their laughter us they run
To the riverside to meet me is the
music that remains
Longest, sweetest, and shall linger
for beyond the sweetest strains
That the bands played where the Rio
Grande's brown tide is seward
whirled:
There are nowhere sweeter children
than Brownsville's in all the
world

Salem, oregon.
Gentlemen Z y .s8t'1
have your letter Of September 22d
incloaing COPY Of the reply Of Mr..
James p. O'Brien, general manager
Of the o. r. & n. Co., to the COM
plant which I filed with you relative
to the wretched service which his
company Is imposing upon the peo-
pie, and beg to say that did not file
that complaint because Of any per-
sonal grievance, but because 1 re-
garded II the duty of some citizen TO
call the attention Of the railroad
commission to condition which for
months has required attention. So
general has been the criticism of the
passenger service on the railroads os
oregon during the past few months
that It is almost a universal subject
OF converation, and l think If your
body will examine the train reports
at the various stations you will find
that the rule has been that trains
have been delayed and the public put
to consequent inconvenience.
The difficulty seems to be that the
railroad people Of Oregon cannot get
away from the old idea that their
roads are run for the convenience of
transcontinental traffic and that the
comfort and convenience of the peo-
pie of the state is secondary mat
ter The excuse presented by Mr..
O'Brien is threadbare. We have
heard 1t for a generation. and 1t is
indeed time that the controlling fore
es of the transportation lines in Ore
gon were impressed with the fact
that they represent public service cor
porations and that our own people
have rights which they must rec
ognize and needs which they must
meet.
So far as the tast train, denominat-
ed No. s, is concerned, if the company
insists on closing its doors to Oregon
people believe that it is the duty of
the railroad commission to direct them
to Immediately put on a kindred train
which shall run between Portland
and Baker City, making substan-
TALLY the same time. We have no
local train today on the o. r. & n.
Co. and the need of such train is
clearly manifest by the argument pre-
sented by Mr.. o'Bren upon the sub
jest Of train No. s in his letter to you.
