UNITED RAILWAYS WILL BEGIN WORK Contracts for Construction of Car Lines to Be Awarded Immediately. LOSS STATES HIS PLANS Arrives ' lYom . San, Francisco, and Will at Once Proceed With Building of City and In terurban Roads. Bids will be asked today . by the United Railways on the construction of the city lines included In the lnter urban projects mapped out by the com pany and within the next week or ten days, C. E. Loss and his associates ex pect to award the contracts and have work on the various city streets under way. Estimates and specifications are now being prepared under the direction of President Benbam, of the United Rail ways, and will be available to contract ors within a short time. The bids will be advertised for about a week, when tenders 'will be opened and the con tracts awarded to firms making- the most advantageous offers. Work will then proceed and it Is expected to have the mileage projected within the city completed in eight months. It Is the plan then to go ahead with the lnter urban lines. The C. E. Loss Company, although a contracting firm, will not bid on the construction work of the United Rail ways. It Is estimated by officials of the United Railways that the building of the city lines will entail an expense of at least 753,000. To finance the con struction, a working capital of $1,000, 000 has been assured by the pledge given the United Railway Company by 20 capitalists, most of whom are Cali fornians whose names have already been mentioned as backing Mr. Loss, that tiiey will each contribute 50,000. Mr. Loss is one of the 20 but the names of the others are withheld for the time being. John B. Rogers, formerly consulting en gineer for the Ocean Shore Railroad, Cali fornia, has resigned his position there and will accept the same title with the United Railways, with offices at Portland. Mr. Rogers has already made arrangements to dispose of his property In California, and Is preparing to come to Portland to live. The city trolley lines, construction of which will be given to contractors within a few days. Include the Macadam road and Front street freight line, with a spur running into the Northern Pacific Ter minal Company's yards below the Steel bridge, and another spur up Flanders street and switches on str&ebs crossing Flanders In the vicinity of th6 freight yards of North Portland; the freight and passenger road up Stark street from the Front-street line to Twelfth, thence out Twelfth to Pettygrove, and out Petty grove to the city limits on the west, with the ultimate destination Forest Grove and Hlllsboro; and the passenger line down Seventh street from a connection with the projected Salem interurban line at the south end of the city to the Union Depot C. 1 Loss, accompanied by John B. Rogers, reached Portland yesterday from San Francisco. "We will let the contracts for construc tion at once," said Mr. Loss. "We hope to have work begun on the city lines by September 1, with their completion not later than eight months from the time of commencing work. Mr. Rogers is with me, and comes to Portland to get data to arrange the awarding of the contracts and to make profiles of the work. The United Railways Company has ample financial backing, and we are going ahead with the work." LOW RATES EAST.

BRUTE FRIGHTENED AWAY Miss May Stevens Screams When Seized by Man on Slough Road, and Residents of Neighbor hood Go to Rescue. Precipitate flight was all that prevented a "Jack the Grabber" from being roughly handled and probably lynched by infuri ated residents on the Slough Road at 10 o'clock Saturday night, when Miss May Stevens, who was hurrying to her home along the dark road, was attacked by a man whom she describes as a big negro. Confronting the young woman suddenly and unexpectedly, the negro grabbed her about the body and attempted to choke her. Miss Stevens struggled, and freeing herself from the grasp of the man, she uttered such piercing screams that peo ple living along the road ran from their houses to her assistance. Frightened at probable capture, the man ran from the road and disappeared in the darkness. Miss Stevens carried a purse containing a small sum of money and a gold watch, and her first impression was that the man was about to rob her. The negro, however, made no attempt to steal either the money or the timepiece. Although unable to give a good description of her assailant, her rescuers scattered along the road and in the brush, thinking that they would be able to make a capture. The man had completely disappeared and not even a trace of him could be found. The police were notified, and although officers were sent to the scene they were unable to help the situation. Yesterday Detective Hellyer was put on the case, but he was unable to obtain any informa tion which would lead him to make an arrest. A Message From Honolulu. The 50th anniversary number of the Pa cific Commercial Advertiser, published at Honolulu, Hawaii Territory, has been re ceived. It consists of 122 printed pages of well-selected information, exploiting the varied resources of the island, and the cuts are excellent. In general appearance the number would do credit to a city in this country. Walter G. Smith is the editor. CHURCH GETS H0R0SCR0LL Congregation of Shroa-Tbra Meets to Celebrate Anniversary. The congregation of Shroa-Thra, Gates of Learning, met yesterday afternoon at First and Hall streets to celebrate the first anniversary of the building of the synagogue and to formally receive a He brew horoscroll which was donated to the congregation by Mr. and Mrs. S. Wein gard, of Astoria. A few donations, amounting to $75, were also received from local members for the purpose of buying a Hebrew library for the synagogue. Speeches were made by Jacob Meyers, D. Sellers Chone, L Thumberg and Dr. Wrri ner. The horoscroll presented was imported from New York, costing $130, and consists of the five books of Moses written on parchment in Hebrew. A portion of this is read in the synagogue every Saturday and the whole of the book Is read every year. This congregation, which was formed only a year ago, has grown rapidly and has erected an imposing brick synagogue, which is admirably fitted up and provided with three horoscrolls besides the one Just presented. President J. Nudelman states that they will bring a pastor from the East in the near future. Plans are being made to celebrate the Jewish New Year, which occurs the first of October. Rev. Saul Schorr, of Toronto, Can., will be present and conduct services through out their holidays. EASTERN EXCURSION RATES August 7, 8, 9. September 8 and 10.

Wlntermute, Arlcta Plumber, Stopped at Reservoir 'While Out Driving AVlth His Wife and Mother-in-Law. J. W. Wlntermute, a plumber and a resident of Arleta; his wife, and his mother-in-law, were held up by a lone, masked highwayman near Mount Ta bor reservoir at 10 o'clock last night while driving toward their home in a buggy, and at the muzzle of a big old fashioned revolver that looked as if it did duty in the stage coach days, Wln termute was compelled to get down from his seat and deliver $14 and a gold watch. The women were not mo lested. In true road agent style, the masked highwayman carried out his plans. Hiding In the brush until the buggy with its three occupants was almost upon him, the masked man stepped into the road, took the horse by the bit, and presenting his big revolver, commanded the driver to keep quiet. The highwayman apologized to the two women for delaying their Journey but insisted that Wlntermute turn the lines over to one of the women and get down to the ground. Turning his vic tim so that he could cover the women with his revolver if necessary, the masked man compelled Wlntermute to throw up his hands and submit to be ing robbed. After the road agent had secured his victim's valuables he allolwed Wlntermute to climb to his seat between his wife and his mother-in-law and proceed home. The highwayman watched the three drive away and then disappeared in the brush. Wlntermute drove to his home as quickly as possible and notified Captain Slover of the holdup. Detective Hellyer was sent to Arleta and succeeded in getting a good description of the high wayman. As described by Wlntermute,' he wore a mask made from a white silk handkerchief which almost covered his features. He was dressed la an old suit of dark clothes and wore the reg ular slouch hat. A peculiar circumstance of the hold up was that it was committed four blocks outside the city limits and the police technically have no jurisdiction. This was not taken into consideration, however, and efforts will be made to capture the highwayman. FIRE DESTROYS DWELLING Home of C. XV. Cauffman, at Second and Gaines, Burned Last Xlght. Fire completely destroyed the residence of C. W. Cauffman, a milkman, at Second and Gaines streets, at 10 o'clock last night, badly damaged bis barn and par tially destroyed an empty residence owned by F. W. Torgler. The houses and barn stood on the hillside, and it was almost impossible to get water to the scene to fight the blaze. Detectives Mears and Hill turned In an alarm, but fire apparatus could not be brought near enough to the blaze to extinguish it. The house and furniture of Cauffman are a total loss. Objection on "Fonetlk" Lines. PORTLAND, Aug. 4. (To the Edi tor.) Will you allow me to make an objection to W. S. Varnum's late effu sion in The Oregonion? I will not quar rel with him about his "miusic" only In the pronunciation. We should use only about 5 per cent of the short "1" to 100 per cent of the "u"; then it will do. He says that the words in his let ter are spelled "fonetically" as far as our "defectlv redundant alfabet" will permit. Now, I say "dhe" does not spell "the." Again one of our sounds of "o" is "oo," as in "move." We use it in "do" and "to." Why not "ho" for "who?" Further, if he will, with reason, have "hwen" for "when," why not "hwit" for "white?" "Right" Is not fonetic. It should be "rit," "C" has two sounds so "k" would be simpler than "c" in his "skool" (not his but mine) instead of "soul" and "buk" instead of "buc." Again he retains many final "e's" as "make," "take," "time," possible and "obstacle," all useless and not "fo netik" His "done" should be "dun" and his "some," "sum." His "pro nounce" should be "pronouns," and "pronouns" the plural of "pronoun," should be "pronounz." He does not help "prove" any, by spelling it "pruve"; he would not have us pronounce it "priuve." I think Mr. Varnum has not succeeded this time. According to the verse he must "try, try. again." W. P. LA WRY, Walt a Little While. Fliegend Blatter. Daughter What! Mother, do you mean to say that I must marry that horrid Mr. Jones? I hate him, I detest him, I despise him! Mother But. my dear, you can tell him all that after you are married. HEAD HITS BRIDGE POST ARTHUR SYIiTESTER SEVERELY . IXXCRED OX STREET-CAR. Leans Out of Window While Cross lng Steel Bridge and Is Knocked Unconscious, Arthur Sylvester, rooming at Seven teenth and Washington streets, while leaning out of a St. Johns street-car window on the Steel Bridge at mid night, was severely injured, his head coming in contact with one of the big steel uprights. He suffered a severe scalp wound and was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in the police am bulance. ' As the car reached the center of the bridge, Sylvester put his head from the window to look forward.'He leaned too far, and occupants of the car were startled to see the young- man fall backward into his seat with blood spurting from a deep wound in his head. He was stricken unconscious in stantly, and many thought him dead. Bridgemen telephoned to police headquarters and Captain Bailey or dered the injured man taken to the hospital. Although his wound is 88 rlous It is thought that be will recover. 231 WASHINGTON STj, .. PORTLAND ORG0rur" MAKErJ or MENS
