WOB LIIICK IS INDICTED OREQON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SATURDAY EVENING, " MAY 1, 190&. HUGE CONTRACT IS NOT VET LET 'Completion of Lytic lload "Will Be Host 'Costly Job. The question who will get the biggest railroad contract ever let to a single company that for completing the Lyrle road is still hanging fire. President E. E. Lytle and the engineering depart ment of the Pacific Railway & Naviga tion company are waiting for one bid der to. Qualify and in ease this Is done i satisfactorily he will Secure the work. 'i The delay Is caused bv the fact that an Immense amount of capital about 3260,000 la required to even start work on the road. The'successful bd.der for the construction of 63 miles of the most difficult railroad In the country must have steam shovels, locomotives, cars, horses, graders and all sorts of very expensive machinery used ki railroad work. He must i-raploy from 1500 to zoon men. He has to build a wagon road for the entire distance through new and unbroken country of forests, mountains, swift torrents" and deeD can yons with hla ownvtapital. He has to go into the proportion knowing that 10 per cent of the money that he is to be paid will be withheld until June 1, 110. to Insure the completion of the mad at that Htiia "There are so many details connected with the letting of the contract that it Is Impossible to let it off-hand." said Mr. Lytle. "It takes a great amount of figuring to tell which of the six bids is really tne lowest. li raxes a iirm of assured financial responsibility, be cause It will mean tho expenditure of from 1160,000 to 1200.000 monthly, it means that a large amount of supplies of every description will have to be taken from Portland to Tillamook by sea and kept there until next summer before being used. .There are eight or nine expensive tunnels to be built, rock to be blasted, scores of bridges and cul verts to build and work of the most expensive character to -conduct. r rtnn't think that so laree a eon tract has ever before been let to one firm In the history of railroad work It Is the biggest thing that I have heard of and I think will prove a rec ord breaker for Jons of Its kind.

This note, left in the ptirse of Mrs. Jennie Mayo, a domestic who has been working at 390 Fourth street, coupled with her disappearance Thursday, lead to the suspicion that she has made away .with herself.

" - A committee of seven prominent- log gers waa appointed to interview log gers and sawmill men in regard to tho matter and see what they think of the proposition, the intent of which Is Xo give the purchaser exactly what he uys and the, seller value for . what he sells.
