THE SUNDAY OBEGONIAN, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 8, 1903. PRINTING CONTRACT Gunderson Resolution Causes a Mild Sensation. RUMORS OF A COMBINATION TVni.hlnRton'n State PrlntlnB Sow Handled by Fire Different Flrma Coat for Pnt Two Yeor $05,000. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Feb "-J! correspondence.)-The adoption of the Gunderson resolution yesterday to to House, providing for an Investigation of the letting of the last printing con tracts, has caused a mild sensation. The resolution Jtself Is on Its face rnerclj an attempt to' set at the relative merits of the two methods of doing the state print, ing that have been In vogue In this state -namely, the old one of having a State Printer do all the work, and the present one of letting the printing by contract. Mr. Gundcrson's statement on the floor of the House that there were rumors or jobbery in the letting of the last contract throws a different light on what is really back of the resolution. When asked yesterday what he meant ,- hi. roforiMice to jobbery. Mr. Gunder son said he only knew that there wero I Tumors in circulation that there had been J a combination formed by printing Arms to keep up the prices In the contracts en-. - - . ... . ... i n r- Cummer nnn 1 tcred into wun wic sunc -- - that one firm not In the combination had been bought off after submitting a bid and Induced to withdraw the same. There Is this much of a ground back of these rumors, and the matter was consid erably discussed at the time of the letting of the contracts last June: The contracts for state printing wero let by the Printing Board on June 20 last, as inline- First class. State. Printing Com pany, Olympla; second class. Inland i Printing Company. Spokane; third class. I the Metropolitan Press, Seattle; fourth class. Allen & LnmDorn. lacoma; mui class, rionecr Bindery & Printing Com pany, Tacoma. Each of the above-named Arms submit ted a bid for only one class of work that which was awarded. No two Arms sub mitted bids for the same class of work. Only one other firm submitted bids be sides those awarded contracts the Olympian-Tribune Company, of Olympla, Tho last-named company submitted bids for all classes of work, and tho award of the Board was against them on every class. The representatives of this company were loud iiTthelr protestations. They claimed that theirs was tho lowest bid. and threat ened to start Immediate suit to prevent the Issuance of the contracts to any other firm. On the day following tho letting of the contracts they withdrew their bids, however, and nothing more was heard from tbem. , To thoroughly understand the claim of the Olympian-Tribune people. It should be explained that the law Axes maximum rates which may be paid for 13 different subdivisions of state work, and the bid ders were required to state . how much they would discount the maximum rate on every subdivision. In each class of work the Printing Board let the contract to the firm whose discount percentages, when added, made the greatest total dis count The Olympian-Tribune Company claimed that this was unfair, for the rea son that In some of the subdivisions the amount of work to be done was so little that the bidder could afford to put a big discount thereon, with the Idea of making up the loss on some other kind of work, and then put a small discount on the class providing the greatest amount of work, and, while 'apparently having the lowest bid, would still receive a far great er sum for the total amount of work done than would some other bidder who had figured his discounts specifically. They ;clalmed that In actual money that would be.pald for state printing during the year their bids were several thousand dollars the lowest though the adding of their list of discount percentages apparently made them the highest bidders. As a matter of fact the Printing Board does not deny that the indications .pointed to an agreement between the five success ful firms as to which class each should bid on, and that no one of them should bid on more than one class. The contract had already been awarded when the Olymplan Trlbune people withdrew, and they had no STOMACH BITTERS FOR POOR DIGESTION Diseases of the stomach ar other organs of digestion will prevent the proper digestion and assimilation the strength and value The blood also becomes impure, the nerves constipated.

T recommend it to all sufferers. JOHN THOMAS. THE .GENUINE HAS OUR evidence that that company had been bought off. Furthermore, they say the prices at which the contracts were let were very reasonable and are consider ably below commercial rates In either Se attle. Tacoma or Spokane. For Instance, the commercial rate In Seattle Is 75 cents per 1000 ems for straight composition, with extra charges for lockup, according to size and number of forms. The state pays 67H cents, with no extras. The other work Is in proportion. As to the cost of printing, the Gunder son resolution makes the asserttlon that R,O0O more has been expended in the last two years than in any of the three two year periods proced.lng 'While the rec ords of the Printing' Board show that the expenditures In the last two years were but flS.OOO more" than In the preceding terms. It is stated on the other hand that In the last period many of the state offi cers were compelled to pay for certain printing out of their maintenance funds something that was never done before which brings the total Increase up to fuly JSl.OOO. An Investigation of these matters shows that in the ten years, or five terms, pre ceding the term about the close, the fol lowing amounts were expended for state printing: For years 1S31-S3 JllZSno For years 1S93-95 75.000 For years 1895-97 50.000 For years 1S97-W 51.000 For years 1S93-01 51.000 It Is stated, however, that some bills that should have gone In as a deficiency appropriation under the years 1S97-1S99 were carried over and paid out of tho next regular appropriation. The same plan was carried out in the next period. Some thing like J9000 that should have appeared as a deficiency appropriation of the term directly preceding tho present ono was paid out of the appropriation for the pres ent period. This is one place where thf money went The Legislature 'pf 1S01 or dered 12.000 copies of the school code print ed and made no special appropriation therefor. They were paid for out of the printing fund at a cost of J3493. The State Statistician had printed an edition of 20. 000 copies setting forth tho resources of the stale, at a cost to the printing fund of about JS500. Then tho House and Sen ate Journals and session laws of the regu lar and special session were paid for out of the fund at a cost to It of JltlM. These are some of the big Items that caused the Increase In the cost of printing. As to the merits of the two methods tried, it Is claimed by the state printing expert that the experience with the con tract system has not yet shown that that method Is the more expensive. The last Legislature appropriated J35.000 for tho printing for the two years. Gwln Hicks, the last of the State Printers under tho former law, did not go out of office until August 1, 1S01. In the period between April 1. 1901, "when the new appropriation of 35,000 became available, and the end of his term of office, the printing done by him cost the state 3S.ess.9l. several of the large bills of work being done by Hicks. During the next year, under the contract system, the cost was J11.S52.36, and from August L 1902. till February 1. 1903. the cost has been tU.U0, which Includes print ing stock and most of the biennial reports. Two bills amounting to about 12000 are still out and the printing expert has not been paid for over a year. The deficiency, which Includes everythlng-there being no Intention to carry any bills over till next year-will amount therefore. In round numbers, to J30.000. The cost during the last two years has therefore been ICS 000 for the total amount of printing paid for out of the printing fund. E. W. W. IX HER CHARACTERISTIC WAT.

AVonld Deny Riparian Ovrner a Right to Flow of Water Beyond Ills x . Aetna! .Needs. SALEM. Feb. 7. (SDeclaLW Thi tnlnt committee on irrigation will probably Introduce In the House and recommend for passage, by both houses, a bill limit ing riparian rights to tho actual needs of tho riparian owner. At the meeting of the committee & few evenings ago, Edwin Mays, of Portland, presented such a bill before tho committee and a brief discussion of tho measure seemed to show that It met with favor. Mr. Mays said. In placing the bill before -the committee, that under the decision of the Supremo Court of Oregon, an owner of land bor dering upon a stream has a right to have the water flow in Its channel undimin ished In quantity and unimpaired In qual ity. This right the riparian owner has. even though he never makes any use of the witer. Under the decisions of the courts a man who owns land over which a stream runs can decline to make use of the water himself for Irrigation pur poses, and can prevent any other person except other riparian owners from divert ing water from the stream. Mr. Mays did not think this rule- of law should prevail In the arid region of Oregon, and he wants a bill passed which will give a riparian owner a right to the continuous flow of only so much water as is necessary for his use for household, livestock and irri gation purposes, and to furnish such power for milling or other purposes as he has put to use. Thcro are many who assert that riparian rights aro already restricted to the use to which an owner puts the waters Yet there seems to be no court decision to that effect On the other hand, there are numerous decisions which lay down, the rule -that a riparian owner has the right to have the water flow past his land undi minished in quantity and unimpaired in quality, except as It may be used by other Tlprian owners, or prior nppnfpriators. The purpose of tho law proposed by Mr. Mays Is to give subsequent approprlators an opportunity to acquire rights so long as they do not divert a sufficient amount of water to deprive a riparian owner of his actual needs. Thus, under the de cisions of our courts. If there be-a settler on a stream In Eastern Oregon, no per son not owning land on that stream can divert water to irrigate nonriparlan land if such diversion will appreciably diminish the supply of water. This rule is asserted even though the riparian own er makes no use of the water. Mr. Mays believes that tho future of Irrigation re quires that no person should be allowed to object to the appropriation of water to a beneficial use, unless his own rightful use of the water Is being Interfered with, and that persons who appropriate water after a settler has acquired riparian rights should have a means of determining the extent of the rights of such a riparian owner. The Joint committee on Irrigation will hold a meeting Monday evening to hear further arguments on the Williamson bill for the amendment of the present arid land law. HAMPTON'S CLAIM IS VALID. Bill for Reimbursement Pending In Senate Not a Precedent. SALEM, Feb. 7. (Special.) The Senate yesterday laid on the table until Monday H. B. 105. Hale, to appropriate 11W and J35 Interest to reimburse W. H. Hampton for money paid to the State Land Board for land which the board afterward sold to another man. Senator May objected to the Immediate passage of the bill unless some Senator could ex-" plain why Hampton should be paid the money. No one could explain the matter, so tho bill was laid over. Inquiry at the Land Department shows that In 1SSS Hampton held a certificate of sale of the land and had paid 1140 there on. He was delinquent In his payments, and under the statute it was the duty of the board to cancel the certificate and sell tho land again. The board had a rule, however, that the purchaser wxs entitled to 30 days' notice under such circum stances and Hampton was given notice to pay the $80 delinquency within 30 days or his certificate would be cancelled. Hampton pent the ISO, but before It reached tho State Land Department an nttornev had convinced the board that under the statute the certificate .must be cancelled without giving Hampton the 30 days' grace. When Hampton's money arrived the clerk of the board was in- of the food. Thus patient loses flesh. weak and the bowels New York, N. Y.

Fifteen of these best and finest finished plan03 are aireaay gone to say nothing or me large number of the original club line so tlaat we now have remaining only 10 of the specially admitted ones, and 19 of the regular line. This means our club must close soon. We positively cannot afford to sell any more than 104 pianos at this price, and upon the exceedingly slow payments granted to members ot our co operative club. Of these tlrst-mcntloned pianos there Is but one Weber, two Chlck erinps, four Kimball., one Bush & Gcrts and two Lesters, which we will sell at wholesale in the club. Payments,!

(Special. The Serrate committee on assessment and tax ation, to which was referred Senate bill 82. to create the office of Examiner of Public Offices and Accounts, finds con siderable ODDOsItlon to a bill so radical as that now before it. The bill glvea the public examiner power to suspend officers and to this feature of the bill there is the most opposition. It is probable that the committee will recommend a bill re quiring a uniform system of accounts and creating the office or public .Examiner, but no nower of removal will be given. Under tho lawa now in force a publlo officer may be impeached by a grand Jury. There haa also been opposition to the bill on the ground that It authorizes the Governor to appoint the examiner. Dur ing the present administration the ex aminee would be a Democrat, and Repub licans would rather see one of their own party tn the position. It has been sug gested that the examiner should he ap pointed by the board composed of the Governor, Secretary of State and State Treasurer, or, better ntlll. by the Supreme Court. The committee, however, seems to be of the opinion that a Democratic examiner of public accounts will be proper. K There are 301 bills on the senate calen dar. Of these 101 have been either passed. defeated or Indefinitely postponed, leaving exactly 100 live bills on the calendar. MANY WERE ABSENT. Lower House at Olympla Holds 'Short and Unimportant Session. OLTMPIA. Feb. 7. Special.) Nearly one-third of the members of the House wero absent this morning and several of those In attendance were willing to berf so that very little business of Importance was transacted. The House met at 10 o'clock and after routine preliminaries a petition presented by Gunderson was read it was from the citizens of Enumclaw, asking the passage of the bill appropriating 5000 for conducting farmers' institutes. A pett Hon from the residents of Cowlitz County was presented by Collins, asking that the law relating to road and bridge taxes be changed, so far as It affects third and fourth-class towns. The favorable re port ot the appropriation committee on the claim .of F. O. Ehrllch was adopted and the contestant for the seat of Mole stad of Skagit was awarded HIS per diem and expenses. The Auditor of Skagit it Hrrtct Clttha fir Attn t;ii;;j;; County was also given J1S1.C0 for expenses in connection with the contest. House bills 112. relating to garnishments, and 201, requiring statements of fact to support claims made on Legislature were favor ably reported. The following bills were read and referred: 2S1. Bonn of Chehalls Authorizing Board of State Land Commissioners to vacate plats covering state granted school. tide or Bhore lands, and streets therein situated, and giving to owners of abutting property a preference right to purchase. 2S2. Henry of Spokane Regulating the manufacture and dale of vinegar; Provid ing a penalty of $23 to 11(0 for violation. 2S3, Parcel. of Clark Providing for the monthly payment of County Assessors. The Houfe then took up second reading of bills. Thero was considerable discus sion over House bill 122, which prevents the sale of Intoxicating liquors by what Is known as the "blind pig" system. It also provides for the confiscation and de struction of liquor "found In such places. Martin Maloney's maximum passenger- rate bill was also pretty freely discussed but was Anally passed .on the third read ing with an amendment by Johnson of Ferry, whlcn makes the 3-cent-a-mIle rate affect all roads over 20 miles in length. At noon adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock Monday. The House had worked up to the second reading of the Tolman DIx commission bill, and Interrupted the clerk In the read ing of the number of the bill to adjourn. This places the bill at the head of the calendar and It will come up for second reading Monday afternoon. E. W. W. EXPERIENCE SEVERE STORM. Rain, Hall, Wind and Thunder tn San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 7. The city this evening at 5:20 o'clock was .visited by a peculiar storm, the like of which Is not recalled by tho local residents. A high wind suddenly sprang up from tho north, west, bringing with It a hailstorm and a deluge of rain. For nvo minutes the rain fell in a perfect torrent, the streets be ing quickly converted into rivers and the crossings lakes a fool deep and the sewers were suddenly checked. Flashes ot light ning and roaring of thunder added to the severity of the storm.

Peculiar Ideas Regardf ngr a Ctnmon Diieuse. Mark Twain's cure for a cold in the head was simple, but he claims very ef fective In his own case; his plan was to eat nothing whatever for 21 hours, or pre sumably until the trouble had disap peared. Although not able to speak from per sonal experience as to the effectiveness of thls treatment. It certainly has the merit of extreme economy, but It occurs to us that the application of it to a case of nasal catarrh might be attended with difficulties. Catarrh, as everyone knows. Is a chronic cold In the head, and Mr. Twain's treat ment. If It should become a fid, would t make of us a nation of rasters an army emulating the example ot the Immortal Tanner, who achieved world-wide fame by fisting 40 days. Catarrh is certainly becoming a na tional disease, and there is little doubt but that errors in diet, particularly over eating. Is a very common cause. Most people, however, are more inter ested in the cure of the trouble than In the cause, and modern medical science has produced more effective and less he roic remedies than Mr. Twain's. Hydrastin is a now remedy, very effec tive in some forms of Citarrh. Red Gum is another, which, on account of its anti septic properties Is very valuable, while many severe cases of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely cured by the ean gulnarix, or extract of blood root, alone. Within a year an enterprising chemist has combined all of these remedies In tablet form pilatable and convenient, and the superiority of this tablet over other catarrh remedies Is so apparent that all druggists now carry them In stock to1 supply the popular demand. They ore called Stuart's Catarrh. Tab lets, and It Is doubtful If any medicine has achieved a national popularity In so short a time as this. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are used by thousands of traveling men- because they can be carried In the pocket and used any time and In any quantity, being free from Cocaine, opiate or any poisonous drug. They clear the head and throat from the disgusting secretions of catarrh, very often In a few hours' time. F6r nasal Catarrh they are far superior to any wash, lotion or ointment, the use of which is often as inconvenient and an noying as the disease Itself. For coughs, colds, bronchial catarrh and catarrh of stomach these tablets give Immediate relief- and a permanent cure whero lotions, douches and Inhalers make no impression whatever. This preparation Is a boon to catarrh sufferers, and any druggist will tell you that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets Is a remedy that has come to stay. THE MOST NUTRITIOUS..
