Councilman Phoenix, in the bigness of his heart, and totally
ignoring the resolution he introduced at the previous meeting
;n
to calling for bids when awarding city contracts, mov-
ed the c,ty Panting be given to Mr. Walker for 1913, and the
motion went through on wheels — the big four of course voting
for it. as it had been framed up they should by the “ Boss.”
The whole country.ide I. invited
to come to Redmond on the above
date and assist in dedicating this
big warehouse— the largest potato j
warehouse In the northwest.

HOW’ DID MR. PHOENIX KNOW’ THE WORK COULD NOT
BE DONE ANY CHEAPER THAN MR. W’ALKER SA ID IT

Most of the taxpayers seem to think the council should

so, and right here the question comes up: Why did Mr. Pheo-

away the city printing at a price set by the "Hub” editor?
