W. Prahl, the late roadmaster of the Oregon Electric Railway Company, whose funeral takes place this afternoon from the Scottish Rite Cathedral, was an exam ple of a self-made man. He started his career In 1885. as a bridge carpenter on the Chicago, Burlington Northern Rail road, and worked In that capacity until 1&S8. whet) he came to Portland. By strict attention to duty, and depending entirely upon hla own resources, he made his way up In railroading, and from 1S97 to 1908, occupied the position of superintendent of bridges and buildings on the Southern Pacific Company's lines In Oregon. When the construction of the Oregon Electric Railway Company's lines was begun in 1906. Mr. Prahl was offered a more Important position and accepted. Among the difficult tasks he performed, arid one that will remain a monument to him for many years. Is the bridge across the Willamette River at Wllsonvllle. No one realizes the strange difficulties which confronted him in the erection of that structure, but he performed his work so admirably that, when the operating de partment took charge of the road, he was among the first to be retatned in the permanent service of the company. F. W. Prahl was a quiet, unassuming man, knew his business thoroughly, and was always equal to any emergency. Among his associates his high sense of dutv and strict Integrity have won him es teem, while among his subordinatea he met uniform loyalty and support. Born In 18K7. he died comparatively a young man. In the prime of life. In his death the community lost a most useful citizen: the railway company, a faithful official, and his associates and friends, a fellow worker whose courage, honesty and fidelity were of the rarest kind.

HUNT ASSUMES HIS DUTIES Claab Between Operating and Traf fic Departments Assigned as Reason That Old Employe Leaves Street Railway. , G. C. Fields, superintendent of the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany, resigned yesterday. He will sever his relations with the company on November 1. President Josselyn ac cepted his resignation and the position will be abolished. Traffic Manager Hunt performing the duties of the su perintendent. ' Friction between the operating and traffic departments of the O. W. P. division are said to have been responsi ble for the resignation of Mr. Fields, although neither he nop Mr. Josselyn care to discuss the reasons leading to the former's resignation. Although the personal relations between Presi dent Josselyn and Superintendent Fields have been pleasant. It Is said Traffic Manager Hunt, whose office is in the East Side freight-house with that of V : Fields has been encroaching more and more on Superintendent Field's work. This condition of things, it is said, brought on friction and Mr. Fields had reason to think he was .to be superceded by the traffic manager taking over his department. Mr. Fields would not give any other reason for retiring than to say he had gotten tired of the work and had de cided to go Into other business. What the nature of this business Is. he said he was not yet at liberty to announce. President Josselyn, too, was reticent In regard to the matter, but It was learned there was no personal unpleas antness between the two officials. The encroachment of the traffic upon the operating department of the O. W. P. Is held accountable for the change. Mr. Fields has been in the employ of the O. W. P. for the last 15 years, hav ing entered the employ of the road soon after its construction as motor man. His rapid rise in the service to the position of general superintendent was due to his ability as a railroad man and success In dealing with the pub lic.

However, by the exercise of ad mirable grit andi nerve, she walked across the wire once, bowed to the audience and then was forced to retire. It was while engaged in one of the most thrilling features of a daring act that the accident occurred. The young woman was standing upright on her father's shoulders as he danced across a wire suspended ten feet above the stage. He missed his footing and felL The young woman fell also, of course, and suffered a severe sprain of her an kle. Dr. Homer I. Keeney was called and attended to her injuries. He suc ceeded In allaying her suffering suffi ciently to permit her to appear for a brief time last night. However, it Is confidently expected that she will have recovered sufficiently to resume her part of the act this evening. DRESS GOODS SALE.

"Doc" Anderson Is to Take Straw Vote Haa Bet on Preference f Pedes trians for Tart or Bryan and Will Take Vote All Day. ff HE period of taking straw votes on ' I the Presidential election may have passed In some cities through the land, but not so in Portland. "Doc" Anderson, the well-known baseball fan is going to take one. "Doc" Anderson, since he shook the hand of William Jennings Bryan at the Imperial Hotel on the Nebraskan's visit to Portland, has been one of Bryan's boomers. Yesterday he became involved in an argument with Ed Schiller. The "smoke" dealer maintained that a straw vote taken of the men who passed the cor ner of Sixth and Washington streets would show two to one in favor of Taft. Then the pair made a 20 wager on the result and on Friday "Doc," armed with a straw ballot and a box, is to take the vote. , The condition of the bet is that Ander son is to mount a stool at Sixth and Washington streets (unless the police in terfere) Fridav morning at 8 o'clock and remain on deck until 6 o'clock in the eve ning. There will be no chance for repeat ers getting in their deadly work, for "Doc" knows everybody in town. Of course "Doc" will be pulling for Democrats, but there will be a watcher on deck to see that Anderson doesn't allow any ballot stuffing for Bryan. In order to help make his work easy, he has been provided with 2000 straw ballots and a regulation ballot box. Both Schil ler and Anderson will escape a violation of the corrupt practice law, for they have made their wager and will round up the voters before the regular election. Aged Man Brutally Beaten.
