ORDINANCE COMMITTEE MEETS
\ REPRESENTATIVE or p, +. s.
L. AND FIX THE BASIS ON
WHICH FRANCHISE WILL BE
GRANTED.

A meeting of the ordinance commit
tee and street committee Of the city
council was held last night In consul
tation with F. w. Waters, Representa-
five OF the Portland, Engene g. East
ern Railroad company for the pur-
pose Of adjusting matters relative to
the proposed franchise asked by that
company, and which is now before the
city council. The entire franchise was
gone over and discussed from every
point Of view. The matter Of compen-
satlon was the principal one, II being
held that the city council would not
be justified in granting a franchise
without being suitably recompensed.
After considerable discussion on this
point 1t was decided that, in addi.
tlon to the tax Of $15 a year per car
operated, that the railroad company
should be required TO furnish part Of
the material for the bridges, so It was
accordingly agreed that the railroad
company should contribute $4,000 to-
ward building the bridges at Summer
street over North Mill creek, at Cen
ter and fourteenth streets over North
MIL creek and on Seventeenth
street near Chemeketa street. The
question OF what line should be used
for through trains from Eugene and
points south Of Salem, when the road
Is completed, was also discussed, and
It was decided that freight trains
might come into the city along South
Commercial and North Commercial
streets. but between Trade and "D'
streets Front street should be used. It
was decided that the street car COM
pany should pave the streets where
tracks we're taken up especially
where a street is now paved. All
points Of differences between the com
mlttee and the representative OF the
railroad company will be taken under
advisement by the railroad people,
and, when settled new ordinance

visions agreed on in the conference

Aberdeen, Wash, May 15,--Republi-
can delegates chosen by the counties
of this state are today holding two
state conventions here, one for Taft
and the other for Roosevelt
Decision to hold a separate conven-
tion was reached early this morning
by the Roosevelt steering" commit
tee, and the Roosevelt delegates are
meeting in the knights OF Pythias hall
The Roosevelt contingent has both
more uncontested delegates and more
counties represented than the Taft
convention. Together with the con-
tested delegates the progressives are
represented in every county except
Skagit, The standpatters have no
representation whatever in 10 counties
Notwithstanding the action of the
state central committee in unseating
the King county primary delegates
seating Taft delegates in practically
every contested county
Senator Hammer, Of Skagit, and e.
Robertson, Taft men, this morning
made tentative proposal, giving the
progressives 10 of the IA national del
egates. The matter is now being dis
cussed by the Roosevelt caucus. The
feeling is general that they will ac-
cept no compromise.
Senator Falconer, of Everett, prob
ably will be the chairman of the
Roosevelt convention.
Uniformed policemen and special
guards we're stationed in front of the

and allowed the slashings to burn.
Several farm houses have been de-
Btroyed, and the people have sought
refuge beyond the fire lines. Nine
teen families have been rendered
homeless in Dempsey's camp. Nearly
all the equipment, and several camp
houses and offices have been Destroy
ed.
Along the line of the Tacoma and
Eastern railway which taps the re-
glon Of the present forest fires, the
entire district is burned out, and the
old logging works in the district
have been destroyed. Logging crews
Of all the mills are fighting the fires
and little headway is obtainable as
the whole country around is envel-
oped in a thick smoke rendering
progress impossible. The Pacific
National mill was burned this morn
ing. The mill however caught fire
from the sparks Of its own burner.
Several cars were burned near the
mill.

don't want Taft.
With returns from many Of the

missing, sufficient figures on the
presidential preference primary vote Of
yesterday are available to show that
President Taft has polled about one

What Roosevelt's majority will be
when the final returns are In is yet
uncertain. Taft men admit that 1t

that Roosevelt will have majority
over both Taft and La toilette, but all
Indication are that he VIII.
That California Is Overwhelmingly
