E. LOSS ADVISES 'Fakes Notice of Swigert's Visit to The Qiunty SAYSL'SlfED RAILWAYS TO BUILD "X LVe lo Give Away Thousands sf Dullan," he Says "Give no b-irtus to a railway" is the advice of C. K. Loss, owner of the I'oited Railways, to the people of Washington County, who bave been called upon to give a bonus to the projected line of the Oregon Electric Company to Forest Grove, a distance of 22 miles from Bertha, in Multnomah County. "It's not bus'mefs for a railway to auk for a bonus these days," de clared Mr. Liss lt Thurgday, 'and ii'a not business for the peo ple to give it." ''T'i Uni'i'd Riilff'iy't h poing to b :ild to F.ip-H Grove witht ut a boni s. I wouldn't ark f ir a nib sidy, nv. rdi.l and nver will."

"P.u1 ho won't chut tm out," be ag-serif-1 '"We'll lijht 'em and par allel ih-ir tracke, even if they do get a 3ti)fKKIbuiu', which would be a $!().-( 0 fift fi r eveiy miie of track Wt.ea! They n ti t want the people of Washington' Ci-unty to build ti.eir roml." Mr. Lfe promises to have roon thee pit il mpiired for his road. He lavs he will deuionetral' t the people of IVriland ihnuh docu men ary evidence of stock uib scriptions and through the reputa tion of his stock subscribers that the road is to be built. The short six months remaining for comple tion of the city lines does not worry him, for he says that long before that time the proofs of his enter prise will be before the people of Portland, and if he shall ned two or three months' extension of time he feels confident be can get it. "Because," aays he, "Portland wants not so much the forfeiture of the fioo, Kjo bond aa the buildiui; of the lines." Mr. Loss doea not take seriously the debt claims presented against hia com pany by creditors and stockholders of the Oregon Traction Company, whose project-id Hillsboro line has been merged with the United Railway. Hut L. Y. Keady, who is suing for sat isfaction of the stockholders' claims, thinks they are quite serious, and that Loss will find ttiem so before be gets done "trying to keep our creditors and stockholders out of their rightful money. ' Air. Keady says: We have the best of wishes for Lois' success, not alone for bis own benefit, but, what is more important to ns, for payment of our claims. We are not try ing to em!arraa Mr. Loss, but to get rash due us. Maybe Mr Loss thinks that when his company agreed to pay the stockholders of the Oregon Tiaction Company between $40,000 and $50,000 and the creditors $36,000, tney nave no kick coming when they don't get their money. Mr. Loss would like to keep on paying us w ith promises, as he hasdoue tor six mouths past, and his predecessors lor six months before that. It's getting close to Christmas now, and we need the money." nesules these claims, Mr. alccusker aud 1 have a legitimate claim for per sonal services covering several months of hard work, night aud day, for which we have nut received a dollar, yet which helped Mr. Loss secure the property he considers so valuable. 1 think well of Mr. Loss ami know lie ia not entirely responsible for the present condition of allairsof the United Railways, but aa he is now the sole owner, we naturally look to hi 111 to make good tbe agreements of his company. "hvery claim wlncu I nave hied is valid and somebody will bave to pay them with real money if not Mr. Loss, then the original financiers of the United Railways. 1 hey ve got to be cleaned up quick or a new seuatiou in the way of claims will be sprung next January. Never mind what it is; it will hit some body sure euough." MRS.
