16 THE 3IORMXG OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY. 3IAY 11, 1909. ;t is let FOR LYTLE ROAD J. W. Sweeney Successful Bid der for Big Railroad Con struction Job. HIS BID ABOUT $1,500,000 Delay In Awarding Work Vntil Con tractor Furnishes Bond Line Will Be Completed by Next Summer. The contract for the construction of the final 53 miles of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company was let yester day. J. V. Sweeney, Isaac Blumauer and H. N. Blumaupr were the successful bid ders. It is understood that the Harri man engineers- estimate of 12,000,000 was ftraled about $o00.000. It has been understood for a consider able time that Sweeney and his financial bat-kers were the lowest bidders, the one obstacle to clinching the contract being the delivery of a bond for JIOO.OOO. The usual bond would be 10 per cent on the total, or J160.000. but it is generally be lieved that President E. E. Lytle. of the Pacific Railway & Navigation Company, strained a point in this respect to give the benefit to a local contractor. .Mr. Sweeney was unable to obtain his bond up to yesterday, but he was able to furnish proofs that the bond would be forthcoming before the final date given him by Mr. "L.ytle. and with this understanding he was Informed he might consider the contract his. but was not permitted to sign up until he could defi nitely produce his bond. The bonding company is said to have been annoyed by the efforts of other contractors who have tried to prove Mr. Sweeney Inca pable of carrying out the contoact. It is understood that the amount of Mr. Sweeney's bid approximated very closely 1,600.000, although no confirmation could be had from Mr. Lytle. Caughern & AVoldson, of Spokane, who have handled Brae of the C. M. & St. P. work, were the next lowest contractors, being about :w.000 above Sweeney in their bid. A. J. McC'abe was third bidder, and waa still jao.OOO to the bad. Mr. Sweeney was a cub-contractor on the Southern Pacific extension from lrain to Coos Bay, and when further construction was stopped he withdrew. The contract is one of the largest let In the state of Oregon, and is certainly the largest contract let In Oregon for some years. By commencing immediate construction it is thought the whole line may be competed by the Summer of 1910. and probably in time to take care of a portion of the beach traffic in that sea son. Many difficulties confront the con tractor. He must construct wagon roads where now but rough trails exist. This will call for an expenditure of probably JM0.O0O, and this must be done before the contractor Is reimbursed a cent. The distance is 63 miles. There are 19 tun nels of varying length, and In many places the roaring mountain torrents must be bridged. Much of the construc tion embraces rock work jexceptionally heavy in character. Julius Kruttschnltt announced to Pres ident Iytle over a month ago that the funds were at the disposal of 'Mr. Lytle for the building of what will become a tmbsldlary Harrlman line. Mr. Lytle has earned some little distinction as a rail road builder, having been the builder of the Columbia Southern to Shaniko and the Condon road to Central Oregon. He also made the Harrlman survey up the Deschutes Canyon. "I have now enough confidence In Mr. Sweeney," said Mr. Lytle yesterday, "to give him the con tract. I expect he will make good this week with his bond, and anyway he has until Friday to obtain it." TRAINS CRASH IX TCXXEl Two Sections of Southern Pacific Overland In Collision. Through the alleKed disregard of his signals by Will Weber, engineer of the second section of the Southern Pacific train that left Portland at 7:45 Sunday night, the locomotive of the second sec tion of the train crashed into the observa tion car on section one in West Fork tunnel. One passenger and two members of the crew were slightly injured. Oeneral Superintendent Buckley dis patched Superintendent L. R. Fields last night to hold an investigation at Ash land, which is about 50 miles from West Fork. The collision occurred at 7:10 Monday morning, when the few passen gers in the sleepers were still in their sec tions. The passengers in the train were composed mostly of the Portland and San Francisco baseball teams, while a drawing-room was taken by Airs. "Hazel" Moore. The train is usually divided at the tun nel, the day coaches and baggage cars being brought on in a second section. When the collision occurred, the engine, tender and baggage car Jumped the track and the observation car was considerably wrecked. Although the block system is in force in the tunnel, Harrlman officials believe the engineer. Will Weber, disre garded hta signals. The trains were pro ceeding slowly or the results might have been more serious. Fiigineer Weber was bruised and a dining-car chef was cut by flying glass fragments. An unknown passenger was stuifhed, but the consequences were not serious. The train proceeded with little delay. BETTEIt FACItlTlKS ASKED NtockRrowcr Wants Railroad Service Improved to Portland. Portland has grown to such an ex tent that driving of cattle through the streets is no longer advisable. This waa the gist of the evidence given yes terday by Elmer T. Connell before the Railway Commission in an endeavor to force the Astoria & Columbia road to put in facilities for handling cattle at Ieer Island. turlng the hearing It developed that there are no facilities for handling cat tle between. Portland and Goble. with the exception of pens at Scappoose. The railroad holds that the business has not been sufficient to encourage such facilities, while Mr. Connell holds that with the increased size of Portland it will be necessary for all shippers to move their cattle by train. Mr. Connell Is the owner of practi cally the whole of Deer Island." an Island in the Coltimbia River 20 miles from Portland. At low stages of the river he drives his cattle through the water to the mainland and then brings them on to the stockyards for sale. Officials Meet In Seattle. A number of local railroad officials left last night for Seattle for a con- ference of passenger men In the North west. The special point for decision is the question of rates to Seattle during the progress of the A.-Y-P Fair. Most of the offiolals are interested from an Kastern point of view in the selling of tickets through Portland to Seattle. Those leaving Portland to be present at the conference were: H. M. Adams, general freight and passenger agent for the North Bank road; W. G. Kevins, trafflo manager of the Oregon Electric, and William McMurray and John M. Scott, of the Harlman lines passenger department. Traffic Matters Up. Freight matters of one kind and an other were under consideration in the office of W. E. Coman, of the Harrl man traffic department, in the Wells Fargo building yesterday morning. Representatives of the Northern Pa cific, North Bank and Harriman lines were present. A hearing was later held in the offices of H. M. Adams, general freight agent of the North Bank road, when the Harriman officials were not present. It was announced that no de cision was reached. SING "BOOSTER" SONGS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS VItL TARE PART IX PARADE. Prizes Offered for Schools Partici pating in East Side Pageant for Rose Festival. Two hundred and fifty students from the Washington High School will march In the Rose Festival parade on the East Side on Friday night, June 11. and sing the "600.000 population in 1912" booster songs, under the direction of Professor Emil Enna. This matter was practically settled yesterday morning at the assem bly called by Principal Herdman and at tended by President C. A. Bigelow and George Dllworth, of the East Side .Busi ness Men's Club, who set forth what was desired. Response to the request for students to march as a grand chorus to sing these booster songs was beyond any expectation, and Mr. Bigelow expressed his gratification. "We had hoped to get 150 students." he said, "but we shall easily have 250 fine students in line from the Washing ton High, which will be one of the fea tures of the occasion. We shall have the Washington High School baseball team also in line in uniform, bearing the pen nant the team is expected to win. It was with much satisfaction that we today were enabled to finish up this part of our programme." Mr. Bigelow was notified yesterday that the Elks order, of Portland, had de cided to offer as a prize to the schools taking part in the parade a magnificent silk banner costing at least $100. The first prize Is offered by A. B. Manley. and will be a splendid silver vase that will cost about $140. Selection of the vase will probably be made today by Mr. Manley and Mr. Bigelow. Mr. Manley had three designs, all of beautiful finish, in view, but he desires the Business Men's Club to aid in selecting the vase. A third prize will be a silver cup given by the East Side Business Men's Club, costing about $100. These three prizes will be the principal ones, and will no doubt stimulate the schools in turning out a large number and in making special effort to excel in the parade. The vase from Mr. Manley will be first prize, and will go to the school turning out the largest number in the parade. To the school making the best appearance in the parade the Elks banner will go. .The silver cup from the Business Men's Club will be assigned later. Secondary prizes are $10 for best dogcart and $5 for most comical dog or pony cart. M. M. Rlngler and Richard Genserow ski, who will drill the children, will have announcements made In the schools to day of time and place where drills will be held. The well-paved streets In Ladd Addition, near Hawthorne avenue, will be largely used for drilling the children. It is thought that the exceptionally fine prizes offered will result in a large turn out of school children in the parade. YOUNG BURGLAR CAPTURED Otto Hartman Pursued as He Leaves Scene of Robbery. Otto Hartman, 22 years old. and a hardened burglar, was arrested at the point of a revolver at daylight yester day morning by Patrolman Blair. Hartman was just leaving the home of F. W. Brown, 1535 East Fifteenth street, when the officer discovered him. A sprinting contest followed, in which the officer opened fire on the fugitive, causing him to halt and throw up his hands. Hartman later confessed to half a dozen burglaries. His statement made it plain that he has been working in Portland for several weeks and has not been particularly careful or shrewd. Captain Baty has been on his trail, but it remained for a uniformed officer to finally effect his capture. Hartman was .not armed when arrested. The police, after getting his confes sion, made a careful Inquiry into his past conduct. It is believed he has a long, hard record, despite his youth, and the officers are confident that a worse charge than burglary will be found against him. It is suspected that he has been engaged In highway robbery. The young man confessed to robbing the homes of W. C Williams, 1501 Mil waukie street; John Kaufman, 586 Leo avenue; F. W. Brown, whose place he was leaving when seen by the officer, and Mrs. G. M. Burden, 210 Maiden street. BAPTIST MINISTERS MEET Various Subjects Discussed at Weekly Assembly of Association. At the meeting yesterday of the Baptist Ministerial Association the plan to have F. W. Peabody. of Chicago, lecture here in a movement against the spread of Christian Science was discussed. Al though it is somewhat uncertain as to whether or not Mr. Peabody will visit the Pacific Northwest, it was decided to continue the committee having in charge the matter of his appearance here. Rev. A. B. Waltz, of this committee. reported that the members had since their appointment received a large num ber of letters and pamphlets in support of the Christian Science . doctrines. The text book of the sect was characterized by Rev. Mr. Waltz in the course of his remarks as a "padlock to the scriptures" rather than a key to the same. A feature of the session was the dis cussion of the assembly to be held at Columbia Beach, beginning July 6. This meeting will be In session for two weeks. It is proposed that the morning sessions shall be devoted to Bible study and re ligious services. In the evening popular lectures will be delivered by various ministers and others who will be here for the Baptist convention, to be held here in June. This series of meetings prom ises to be of great benefit to members of the various congregations, as well as af fording a pleasant outing. Trie first postal card waa sped on its way la 1STO. L0STM1ISF01D Dead Body of R. F. Shepard Is Discovered. BELIEVED HE SHOT SELF Note Indicates Suicide, but Wife Be lieves He Was Murdered Police to Make Investigation, as Body Had Been Robbed. R. F. Shepard. who disaneared from his home on the Sandy Road ten days ago, was found dead in Sullivan's Gulch at noon yesterday. A bullet hole in the tem ple explained the manner of death. A note scrawled In his memorandum book Indicated that death was self-inflicted, out nis wife refuses to believe that he killed himself. In view of the fact that the body had been robbed, the police are making an active investigation of the affair. It Is known that Shepard had a. watch and $70 in cash when he disappeared. There was every Indication that the body had been hurriedly searched, his watch chain having been torn from his vest and his pockets showing signs of having been emptied by thieving hands. At this time the authorities believe the robbery was committed by some transient who chanced upon the body. A small caliber revolver lying beside the body never belonged to Shepard, so his wife avers, unless he bought it after leaving home on the day of his disap pearance. Police officers are now mak ing a careful search among the pawn shops and dealers in second-hand goods to learn where the weapon was purchased and by whom. Mrs. Shepard cannot identify the handwriting of the note found on her husband's body. At the same time she Is not sure it is not his handwriting. The farewell missive is not signed. It hints vaguely at domestic trouble. The note reads: "It's nobody's fault. Don't blame anybody. I've stood it as long as I could. I've the best wife in the world." Deputy Coroner Dunning, after a care ful investigation Into the case, decided that everything tended to show suicide. He said last night that no inquest would be necessary. At the same time the ownership of the revolver is to be looked into, as are Shepard's movements on the day of his disappearance. Mrs. Shepard is positive that there was no trouble that could have driven her husband to suicide. They had been married only six months and were very happy, she said. Shepard was married once before and had trouble with his flnst wife. They separated, later were di vorced, and Shepard seemed to have for gotten all about that trouble, his widow says. The body was lying in a thicket at a point in the gulch between Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets, on the line of Ore gon street. Shepard's end must have occurred the day he left home, as he had been dead at least ten days. It was impossible to make out whether or not there were any powder burns. The scene Is isolated, with no open street near, and it is not regarded as likely that Shepard would have gone to such a place ordina rily. There was no evidence of any struggle or that the body had been dragged. Shepard owned the lone Carpet Clean ing Works at Twenty-first and Holladay streets. He was at work on April 30 un til early in the afternoon, when he left, saying he had some collections to at tend to. Late in the afternoon neigh bors saw him return to his shop, but thereafter no trace of him could be found. His wife enlisted the police in the search, offering a reward of $50 for word of his whereabouts, dead or alive. The body was found by an aged man who was seeking a grassy place in which to picket a cow. STEAMER HAS BIG CARGO RIVERSIDE REACHES PORT WITH 1000 TONS.

The American barkentine Amaranth, which has been off the mouth of the Columbia since last Wednesday, crossed in over the bar yesterday. The Amaranth is under charter to load a full cargo of lumber for the West Coast. She sailed from San Francisco for Portland in April and made a fair run up the Coast. She was reported off the lightship May 5, but heavy weather prevented her from being picked up by a tugboat. When tugs were able to cross out, the barken tine was standing offshore.

Reed's Peculiar Methods Land Him in Jail After Spectacular Career in Two States. J. C. Reed, commission merchant, whose spectacular methods of buying and sell ing fruit and produce have caused much comment, was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with the theft of a carload of apples. The warrant is ex actly three years old, and since its issu ance Reed has been out of the state and. so it is alleged, has served a year In a Washington jail for operations similar to those conducted by him in Oregon. Reed is the head of' the Reed Fruit Company, although the warrant on which his arrest was effected was made out against him when he was posing under the name of Bradley and running the Bradley Fruit Company, on Stark street, near Second.; His methods were unusual in the extreme. By sending out circulars to farmers and fruitgrowers, he is said to have got many customers, quoting a scale of prices far in excess of the pre vailing market. He also interested sta tion agents to get produce for him, of fering them as high as 25 per cent com mission. Receiving produce at these ex cessive prices, he would undersell the market by fiO per cent or more, it is al leged. Just how he could proceed under such methods with profit to himself mystified every one excepting those from whom he made purchases. Eventually they came to see the point. H. C. Bushnell. of Junction City, Or.. ' says Reed's profit was 100 per cent. Bushnell is the com plainant in the old case against Reed. He 6ays he sold the commission man a car load of fruit, collect on delivery, but has never received a cent in payment. He found that the prisoner wasn't good for the amount due and that a swindle had been perpetrated, and through ex-District Attorney Manning got out a com plaint charging larceny by embezzlement. Reed, or Bradley, as he was i then known, decamped before the warrant could be served. He went to Tacoma, where he engaged in similar dealings, landing in jail, it is said by the police. On his re lease he returned to Portland, quite un mindful of the trouble in store for him here, and was just getting under good headway with his old system. Being unable to supply bail, he was locked up pending a hearing. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS O. H. Wallin and -wlf- to Emil Lo venborg et al.. lot IT and W 40 feet of lot 18, block 109, Sellwood.$ 280 G.

MEN'S OISEA MY SPECIALTY I have treated hundreds of men who had long suffered a gradual decline of physical and mental energy as a result of special ailments, and have been interested In noting the marked general improvement that fol lows a thorough cure of the chief disorder. My success in curing difficult cases of long standing has made me the foremost specialist treating men's diseases. This success is due to several things. It Is due to the study I have given my specialty; to my having ascertained the exact nature of men's ailments, and to the original, distinctive and thoroughly scientific methods of treatment I employ. To those In doubt as to their true condition who wish to avoid the serious results that may follow neglect. I offer free consultation and advice, either at my office or through correspondence. If your case is one of the few that has reached an incurable stage, I will not accept it for treatment, nor will I urge my services upon any one. I treat curable cases only, and cure all cases I treat. WEAKNESS. So-called "weakness" in men Is curable fully curable. It has not been cured by those measures commonly employed, for they are methods based upon supposition and not upon fact. Most of these troubles in men are due '.o a chronic state of inflammation in the prostate gland, and not to a disordered nervous condition, as has been supposed. I treat the In flammation by a local process that does not fail to accomplish its pur pose, and with this condition cor rected full and complete strength and vigor return. STRICTURE! My treatment is absolutely painless, and perffect re sults can be depended upon in every instance. I do no cutting or dilating whatever. Office Honrs 0 A. M. te a P. Dally; Sundays 10 to 1. M.
