AliiMka ihi vast quantities of
ore and her vessels are not
to send the ore to one port and buy

certainty. Portland cannot take
that ore at the piesent time because
thuie Is no nearby smelter where it

There in a lilan on foot now to
elect a smelter in St. Johns but it
will have to be done III a ieater

that city would icceive nine-tenths
(and even mote than that) 01 the

NO SOFT JOH.
TIIOSH who have any contem
plation of seeking public office in
St. Johns next April will find
when elected that they have no
sinecure. Theirs will not be a bed
of roses or a path strewn with
lilacs. There will be conditions
not theories confronting them: be
cause the treasury will not be bulg
ing out with surplus coin.
The present council has had a
hard path through which to
struggle and there seems to be a
desire upon the part of the present
body to leave its successor a basket
of roses whose thorns protrude
through every opening.
The low levy made on Tuesday
evening is an excellent thing both
for the city itself and those interes
ted iu it: yet it must be understood
by those outside of St. Johns two
thirds or more of the amount to be
received has already been expended
UK)ii public utilities and salaries.
The city started business handi
capped: there was no income for
the first year and there were, un
fortunately, a few bits of indebted
ness. Some of this was incurred
by the previous council and some
by the present body: but it all had
to be paid.
If the income of the city shall be
but the five mills levied then th
coming fiscal year will be one i
which much economy must be user
ami great patience shown by cred
itors. Another year will show a
smaller levy with plenty of money
for every necessary improvement
The next assessment wili show
values coming close to the two mil
lion mark if not passing it. Sev
era! industries are waiting com
meuceiiieiil till alter (lie assessor
has made his rounds iu order to
avoid listing but the assessment
will show a vast iuciease iu al
lines.
Nevertheless, as we stated above

They should hold up their heat

EIGHT GOT HURT
Brand New Pianos to Go at a
Discount of SI 18 on
Each.
During the tremendous holiday
rush, when we handled sometimes
as many as three and even four car
loads of instruments a day, and the
large number of sales necessitated
much shifting of stock, seven
pianos and one orchestrelle were
more or less marred.
Of course, we could send these
to our shop and nut them in such
shape that the slight damage would
hardlv be discernible. Hut this is
not our way of doing business.
Instead, we will sell these seven
brand-new pianos and the one
orchestrelle at a reduction of $tooo
011 the lot.
You'll save $118 on each one of
these pianos, and a clean $174 on
the orchestrelle.

A CLEVER SCHEME,
Northern Pacific Lays Grade To
Which 0. R. and N.
Aust Come.
By a nice bit of over-work 011
Sunday and Christmas the North
ern Pacific won a point over its
adversary. Roth roads are anxious
to get to St. Johns but the the sur
veys cross each other five times be
tween the Vancouver bridge and
this city. The road first securing
its grade can force all other cross
ing roads to come to its grade: and
the O. R. & N. was slow in its
work.
There have been, it is true, a
number of purchases of property on
the Heights, said to be iu favor of
the Northern Pacific road. Among
them are properties of Messrs.
Moe, Harris, Marcy and McLeod
for which more than f 6000 have
been paid. At the same time this
docs not preclude the possibility of
the skirt road around the city.
Whatever may be the outcome
and whatever may be the route
chosen it is evident that the O. R.
& N. was nicely played by strategy.
Until the matter is adjudicated by
the court it is probable no farther
steps will be taken al that point:
work, however, will progress till
along the line with as much rapidity
as possible.

BI1I1I ng On lis Own Work.
To become an active bidder for
work to which it has invited coin
iK'tition, is a decided novelty iu
the domain of contracting, yet this
is being done by the municipality
of Toronto, Ontario. Not that
only, but, from all reports, it has
worked admirably, resulting iu
lower prices and first class work
When sewer and paving work is to
be let the city engineer makes 11
bid, in exactly the same way as
other comttetitors. If any respou
sible contractor bids under the
engineer, he secures the contract,
but if the engineer's bid proves to
be the lowest, ami he cannot in
duce some contractor to take the
ion 011 his nanus at the same
figure, the city proceeds to do the
work with day labor.
During the past year forty-three
concrete sidewalks, seventeen pav
tug contracts, one grading contract,
ami twelve sewer contracts were
executed in this way with a net
saving to the city.
This mode of procedure might
well attract the careful consider
ation of other municipalities. The
weak jHiiut of the plan seems to
rest 111 the circumstance that a cor
rupt city engineer might, through
collusion with contractors, indulge
in graft methods, but this would
not be M)ssible iu a large city
where tunny contractors were bid
ding. Using proper judgment and
always allowing a reasonable ami
fair margin of profit 011 his bids.
the engineer could so place them as
to tio away with excessive prices.
Hut, though the citv so placed its
bids us to .secure but little work on
its own account, its action would
have n pronounced effect tioii the
character of the work done by
those who secure contracts, since
that done by the by the city would
serve as a model that must be
followed. The plan of a city
doing its own work by hired labor
has not proved very satisfactory
where tried, but this modification
might well be exteeted to work
well.
