THE 3IORXING OREGONIAN. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1915.
PORTLAND CONCERN
MAY GET CONTRACT
Bid on Bridge Superstructure
for Main and Slough
Spans Lowest. .
FIGURES ARE UNOFFICIAL
Difference of $531 May Bring Job
or Manufacturing Steel for Great
Interstate Structure to North
west Steel Company.
A roitland firm of contractors. the
Northwest Steel Company, may secure
the contract for the superstructure of
the new interstate bridge between
Tortland and Vancouver, Wash.
Unofficial figures place the bid of
the Portland firm on the steel work
for the main span and the span across
the slough on the Oregon side of the
Columbia Ttiver at approximately $331
below that ot the American Bridge
Company. It is understood that these
two firms have presented the lowest
offers for doingf the structural steel
work. They did not bid on the sub
structure, the dredg-ing- or the ap
proaches. The bid of the Xortliwest Steel
Company on the main channel span Is
S417.402, while that of the American
Bridge Company is 1417.317, a dif
ference in favor ot the latter firm of
J85.
Bid Slouch Spaa Loner.
On the sloush span the Portland
concern bid JS-1,184. while the Ameri
can Bridge Company bid $84,500, a dif
ference in favor of the Portland firm
i f 5116.
Ti;e Northwest Steel Company thus
has a net advantage over the American
Bi idee Company on the bids on the
main channel span and the slough span
combined of 331. The figures are from
compilations made by contractors who
l ave examined the bids.
Portland people are generally inter
ested In the bids and many are eager
to see the local firm secure the con
tract, inasmuch as the Northwest Steel
Company woald be enabled to employ
about 130 skilled mechanics in fabri
cating the structure.
If an Eastern firm secures the con
tract the fabricating will be done in
tlie East, and the steel parts will come
in South Portland, and is said to be
well equipped to do the work.
It is estimated that the steel con
tract In the hands of a local firm in
ttead of an Eastern firm will mean the
distribution of approximately $133,000
in additional payrolls in Portland. It
will cost that much to fabricate the
steel. In any event, the steel Itself
must come from the East, as there are
no steel mills on the Pacific Coast
equipped to turn out work of this
character.
Commissioner Kiggins. of Clarke
County, and Commissioner Holbrook,
of Multnomah County, together with
John L. Harrington and K. E. Howard,
consulting engineer, devoted all of yes
terday to consideration of the numer
ous bids that were opened on Tuesday.
Precisely 21 firms were represented in
the bidding. Some of them submitted
offers for the steel work alone, some
for the substructure alone, and some
for the entire bridge, including: steel
work abutments, approaches, dredg
1n and everything. The Tacific Bridge
fompanv, of Portland, was among
those that put in a bid for the entire
jot.
The engineers in charge of the work
believe that they can complete their
etudy of the bids today and present
the complete figures this afternoon.
While tho Commissioners are ex
pected to award the contract to the
lowest responsible bidders, all condi
tions being equal, they have some dis
cretion in the way of rejecting bids.

Judge Dittenhoefer is the sole sur

"Judge Dittenhoefer's life was so

Frederick Preston Search Gives Ex
cellent Entertainment.
Great and unusual is the charm of
'ceilo playing. S, Noyother Instrument In
the big orchestra seems so admirably
to express deep'lSmotion and reflect the
Innermost thoughts of the soul, in sor
row or seriousness. The violin is
fitly called the king of musical instru
ments, but its -voice Is like that of a
lark. The 'cello alone has the somber,
swelling tone of the ocean.
These thoughts are called forth by
the fine 'cello solos so musically played
last night at the ballroom of theMult-
nomali Hotel by Frederick Preston
Search, a 'cellist who was trained in
his art by celebrated masters- in Eu
rope and whose home for the present
is in California. Mr. search appeareu
under the auspices of the MacDowell
Club and his recital was a pleasant
musical treat. .
Mr. Search demonstrated tnat diffi
cult feat that a 'cello is an enjoyable
solo instrument. One of his best num
bers was a sonata of his own compo
sition, in G minor.
Mr. Search was assisted by Robert
Raymund Lippitt, of Pennsylvania, as
pianist.
Mr. Search and Mr. Lippitt will ap
pear in a second recital at the Multno
mah Hotel this afternoon.

BUY IT NOW
HOW AND WHY WISE MEN GROW RICH.
The real opportunity comes but once in a lifetime. This
is the time. All over the country prices are absurdly
.'low almost everybody wants to sell. But let prices begin
to rise and everybody will want to buy. x
There is always a percentage of shrewd men and women
who buy at such a time as this and sell at such a time as
is close at hand. Everybody cannot get rich, of course,
but everybody who has any money or credit can make
great profits by buying now and selling later. The amount
of money you have doesn't alter the case a particle. Land,
sound securities, honest business property it makes no
difference BUY. You will win. It is impossible to lose
upon reasonable, prudent purchase of property made now.
Buy it NOW is not a mere boosting slogan. It is the es
sence of sound business sense. Use your judgment your
foresight your courage; use your capital your savings
your credit. BUY IT NOW.
