ELECTRIC Line MEN
ENTHUSIASTIC
THE NEW RAILWAY PROJECT
WILL OPEN UP A GREAT
TERRITORY DOWN SEASIDE
WAY.

F. L. Evans, who is promoting the
project for the new electric line to
Seaside, and L. c. Rogers, the civil
engineer in chief, both talked freely
yesterday to representative OF The
Astorian in regard to the railway
project
-Once the line is open and in
operation. it will have unbounded in
Huence in opening up the country
through which it runs" said Mr..
Evans. That's a fine country out
there, and all it needs is railway to
open it up. The electric line is the
one thing required With it in oper-
alton the farmer can come to town
any time he wants, small freight ship
ments can be handled, the market
gardener can bring in his stuff to
town every day at very slight cost,
and the thousands of acres of unde-
veloped lands are bound to be devel-
oped simply because they will be easy
Of access and in immediate touch with
the markets of Astoria"
Other things along the same line
MIR. Evans said. That he is a man
Who believes in what he says seems
evident. He is accustomed to big
projects and to carrying them out.
"Of course the line will be put
through?" suggested the reported ten
tatively.
THE line will be put through" he
replied. Il wouldn't be here if it
wasn't going through in 6rst-class
shape. Pm not spending my own
money for nothing, too" he went on
with smile.
Mr.. Rogers, the engineer, is the
silent member of the firm. "The en-
gineer's Office is always the busiest
place, but at the same time the place
the least talk is going on" said Mr..
Rogers.
"We are sorry that we can't tell
you just how and where the line will
leave Astoria" said Mr.. Rogers. 1--WE
don't know that ourselves yet. But
we can readily chose one of several
routes TO get out Of the city; the one
important fact is that we will run the
hne right into the city somewhere" "
1t is understood that the line may
go out of the city over the heights
From Young's bridge the route is
fairly we'll mapped out. 1t is plan
ned to construct a trestle over the
river paralleling the Young's river
bridge, and once across the bridge the
route will proceed in a straight line
to the Lewis and Clark bridge; thence
by the shortest possible route to
Warrenton The line will touch in
or near Ocean View, thence down the
coast to Seaside.
Both Mr. Evans and Mr.. Rodgers
are men, who are accustomed to do
things Monday, or some other time
the early part Of next week, the en-
gineering corps will start out at their
work. First of all the levels will be
run over the heights, probably at sew
eral different points, merely to get an

manner that one OF them is to GER

quite likely now that the line will go

no matter where it goes, this fact
will undoubtedly prove OF the great

1.-The Merchant of Venice" is no
longer in use in the public schools of
Austin, Texas, as a classic. having
been discontinued at the beginning of
the present term, which started sever
al weeks ago. The discontinuance of
the play in the schools was brought
about through the efforts of Rabbi A.
p. Drucker of the Temple Beth Israel
OF that city, who several months ago
made written protest to the school
board against the use of the play. say
ing that its tendency was to engender
contempt and hatred for the Jews
among the children who read it. The
board, realizing the justice of the pro-
test, ordered the play discontinued as
textbook at the end of the current
term, and in accordance with the in
structions another play was substi-
tuted for it at the beginning of the
present term. The objection to the Use
of the play is founded on the charac-
ter of Shylock, and it is believed that
by this character the young minds of
the students are influenced against
the Jews. In the city of FL Paso sim
liar action has been taken against the
use Of the play recently, and in sew
eral other Texas cities the schools
have abolished it.

in session when the fire began to get
its first hold upon the city. The suf-
fering will of course be acute, the gut
tering being so complete that the in
surance is not expected to cover even
the protected losses 1t is safe to say
that ten thousand Jewish homes were
burned down, and that those who
saved anything saved only bedding.
In many eases furniture was licked up
by the flames. in others it was de-
stroyed by being thrown into the
streets by the panic-stricken people.
The little groceries, the Passover sup
plies. clothes, everything went in most
of the affected eases. and as the fire
began early in the day many of the
women escaped in kimOnOs.

that is being fostered by Moses Fra

cleus of the federation has been
formed as result of several meetings
of the Representatives of several of the
organizations at the headquarters Of

which it is proposed to include in the
federation are the Central Relief AS

facilitate the more effective distribu-
tion of from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually dispensed by these societies. by
simplifying and systematizing the
work. BY the application of business
methods to the work of charity the
promoters hope to abolish the practice
of giving dances, raffles and parties
for the purpose of raising funds.
