E. TO CEASE WORK ON STREET Says Company Has No Right on Eighth Avenue The Portland, Eugene Eastern Railway company has ceased work on the repair of its tracks at the interseetion of Eighth avenue and Willamette street upon orders from Mayor Yoran. When the crew of men which had been engaged for a week in making the repairs oll Willamette street and oll Eighth avenue east started working on Eighth avenue west late Friday afternoon, the mayor asked T. L. Billingsley, superintendent, to take the men oft on the ground that the company has no franchise on Eighth avenue and that the city cannot let anybody make repairs on a street on which they have no rights.

"We did this merely for the sake of protecting the city's interests 111 the matter, said Mayor Yoran yes: terday. It is merely a legal proceedure. If we are compelled to go into the courts to settle this franchise question we want to be safe and will not allow the company to work on the streets where it has no rights." Mayor Yoran said that the company had its men at work on Eighth avenue east and had the pavement cut before he knew it or he would not have allowel the work to proceed. Inasmuch as the pavement was already eut he thought it best to allow the men to ahead and finish the work and fill up the holes with pavement after the stone blocks were put in. No reply has ever been received by the mayor and council from the com pany to their letter in which they ask ed that the company widen Eighth avenue west and either take up or use the tracks on Eighth avenue east as con sideration for a new franchise, the old one having been revoked several months ago.

Until the company ex its intentions in the matter, presses says the mayor, he will not permit of any work on the street by the company. BURGLAR ENTERS HOUSE JOSBPH WHISMAN AND WIFE SLEEP SOUNDLY.

A purse in the trousers stolen contained exactly 450 in gold and in the coat pockets were two promissory notes, given in favor of Whisman, one for $210 and the other for $200.

He had recently returned from the Siuslaw where he had been logging and had been paid something over $200. but the $50 stolen was all he had in his clothes at the time of the burglary.
