The bid offered by Faraon. Son A Ov. waa so out of the rertilar order of bids, as requested by the city In advertisements, that at first the dis position was to reject It altogether, but it was decided to give the company an opportunity. Accordingly. City Audi tor Barbur sent the company a telegram last night saying that If the proper amount were deposited In a Portland bank by 10 o'clock today, the Council would take action. The same company also bid on the water bonds, but as no check accompanied this bid. it was not considered. The Council at Ita meeting today, ac cording to previous plans, should au thorize the letting of the contract for the substructue of the Broadway bridge, but thla may be poatponed until the bonda are awarded. , Councilman Menefee said last night that be was not certain that the city ought to accept the offer made by Far . son. Son 4: Co. for Broadway bridge bonds, for ita uncertainty might cause the city to lose the bid offered by Gillla. "With the 150.000 from Mr. Gillla and the money received for the first l.sue of l.'oO.OOO of bonds." said Mr. Menefee. "we could go ahead and get the work underway, and could sell the other bonds later. But really, 1 don't know which we should do."

Mn Charged With Extorting Prom ise or Klopemont, and Epileptic Regarded Menaces. . Lessons drawn from the case of Wil liam Massing, who waa released In Mu nicipal Court several months ago, and soon afterward killed tha wife whom he had threatened, were brought to bear twice before Judge Tazwefl yes terday to procure the detention of men held by the District Attorney to be dangerous to society. In both cases the prosecutors cited the Hasslng case as warning against heeding too far the representatlona of frlonda of the accused man. In the charge of attempting at the point of a revolver to force Mrs. Marie Parker, a telephone operator, to leave her husband and elope with him. Amoa Warner, a young signpalnter, was bound over to the grand Jury. The com plaining witness testined that Warner had been attentive to her before her marriage and that on last Sunday he met her at the telephone office and at tha revolver's point forced her to sign an agreement aaylng: "in one year from today I promise to leave with you. Amoa Warner." Warner told the . court that Mrs. Parker had telephoned to him to meet her and to bring hla revolver aa she wanted him to kill her. He denied hav ing the weapon at the time of the Inter view. He waa held under ball of $500. Though Dr. Taralesla, assistant aur geon at the Insane Asylum, wrote to frlenda of Warren Smith, a young pa tient at the Institution, that he was "likely to commit homicide" and should be closely watched, difficulty waa ex perienced by the District Attorney in prevailing upon the young man's rela tives to allow him to be returned to the asylum. Smith Is An epileptic, and when Buffering from his disorder has made several homicidal attempts upon his relatives. He was committed to the asylum a year ago. hut waa released last May. He assaulted his grand mother a few days ago and did her serious injury. He was taken Into court charged with a felon)', but upon the promise that he would be returned to the asylum, the case was dismissed and he waa turned over to the County Court.

The Improvements will cost 3100.000. The macadamizing of the streets outside the fire limits will be additional. The Council passed an ordinance pro viding for readvertlsing for the aale of $30,000 worth of bonds. This bond sale Is to bring In the Tucker Spring water for municipal purposes. Work on the fnlted Railways' tunnel through Cornelius Gap on Tualatin Hill, northwest of Portland, la progressing so rapidly that it will be possible, on or before February IS. to "break through" the solid stone wall that la constantly diminishing in thickness. It la aimed to beg'n laying tracks throutrh the bore by March 1 with the probability that trains will operate through it six days later. This work, undertaken by the engineer ing firm of Porter Bros., of this city. Is being completed faster than any similar task ever begun In the Northwest. Work was commenced there early last Sum mer, the air being turned into the giant drilla June li. From- that time the men have been working practically day and night The tunnel will be 410 feet long' and IS by St foet In the clear, being lined with massive timbers. Two forces of men. are working on the project, the bore having been started from both sides of the hill. By careful computation the two "breata" will make a perfect union when they meet. Electric power Is being used In all the work, current being supplied by the rail road. It Is "stepped down" In trans forming machines to meet the require ments of the drills and other apparatus used on the ground. In tha east bore a big steam shovel Is used to handle tha muck, while on the other sldo of the hill It Is gathered by hand. This has made It possible to pierce the hill more rapidly from this aide. Three hlg air compressors have been attached to the electrlo wires to provide power for the machine drills. The plant Is well equipped to provide ventilation, so little time is lost after blasting. A big fan Is In operation in each tunnel, carrying away the fumes through a 24- lnch galvanised Iron pipe. This also fur- i nlshes air for the men. While the work haa been under the direction of L. B. Wickersham. engineer for the United Railways, James F. Clark son, sub-contractor for Porter Bros., has had immediate charge of operations. . The waste material Is handled as ex peditiously ss possible, that from the west end being deposited In Rock Creek Canyon and that from the east side going Into Holbrook Canyon. Rapid Propress Made. Unusual speed has characterized the work from the start. While the com pany cut the first 300 feet beyond either portal, the remaining work haa been done by the contractors, who have cut an average of 460 feet a month. Tha record for December waa 600 feet More than 900 men have been employed on the con tract all the time. They camp on the ground, working In three shifts. As soon aa the tunnel Is completed the I'nited Railways will operate their trains by that route instead of around the hill as at present This w'll effect a con siderable saving In time and will elimi nate many difficult pieces of road. The line that clrclee the mountain, while con structed with every idea of safety, being built so that It might be maintained per manently, never waa Intended for other than temporary use. At one time It was Intended to operate steam trains over this portion of the road and beyond that point to the present termlntis of the line, connecting at Burlington with electrlo cars. However, the entire trackage has own electrified and the use of steam engines no longer Is required. As soon as the hill Is pierced a force of men will be put at work laying the rails. The steel for part of the under ground track is already on the ground. It is figured that the tracks may be put In place In less than a week. This will make the operation of trains through the hill possible before the middle of March. The completion of the tunnel will has ten Ihe construction of the line beyond Banks, the present terminus, toward Bay City, the ultimate destination of the road. With tne means of transporting supplies In a quicker and safer manner at hand, work on the west end of the line can be rushed. When John F. Stevens returned from the Bast last wei'k he announced that the Tillamook Bay extension will be built at once. While lie could not prom ise Its completion hy the end of this year, it Is believed by many that that Is possible. The distance from Banks to Bay City Is SO miles. r Screens to Be Barred.

PAVING LATITUDE GIVEN Proposed Amendment Will Permit Choice of Material to Be Vsed. Competition between street pavins companies to Insure the lowest possible price for street work is the purpose of a proposed amendment to the city charter, which will be Introduced to the Council this morning by Councilman EThe law now provides that the con tract for street pavement must be let to the lowest bidder for the kind of pavement named In petitions presented bv interested property owners. Nearly all kinds of hard-surface pavements are controlled by patents, and when pro ceedings are started for one of the pat ented pavements, the city must let. it to tha company holding the patent and competition Is prevented. If the amendment is approved, the Council will be empowered to cause plans to be prepared for at least two kinds of pavements for streets that are to be Improved. When the Council has selected the kind of pavements from the bids submitted, the executive board Is to let the contract to the lowest bid der for the kind selected. After proceedings have been begun for the competitive bidding for the lm provament of a street, the property owners may, under the proposed law, prevent the awarding of a contract by filing a petition representing the own ers of at least 80 per cent of the prop erty affected. The proposed amendment also pro vides for a similar method of gaining competitive bids for sewers under 24 Inches In diameter. Sewers over that size are not laid by patented processes.
