OFFERS ARE VERY HEAVY Bids for Court House Founds (ion Are One-half Higher Than Estimate of Architect. COURT WITHHOLDS ACTION Will Make laventlf atlon m to What Work Can ISe done for Before Rendering Final Decision In Matter. Tho' county 'court opened bid laat evening 'for the construction of the court house foundation, and, pending detailed reports from Architect Laxa- rus, baa withheld final action. The bid were all aurprialngly In excess of the estimate, and there were intima tions that perhapa something or some body colored lurked In the woodpile. In inviting offers for the building of tha foundation, the court required contractors to make detailed bids. The lump price for the work waa asked, and following were separate specifi cations aa to the price per pound, for Instance, for steeL All of the con tractors contented themaelvee with sub mitting lump offers for the work. Ig noring the srjarat specifications in the blanks furnished by the court. The bids submitted were as follows, and were opened by the court at 5 yesterday afternoon: John Bingham, Portland; to be completed in four months ..... ,.,,,...$21,857 1? Bingham k Flynn, FortJand; four months 21,(70 00 Marshall Bros., Portland; 10 days H,tM 5 Ferguson A Houston, Asto ria; 115 days .' 20,987 00 The bids of John Bingham' and Ding ham A Flynn were ft'ot accompanied by certified checks for 10 per cent of the amount of the bid, aa specified in the call, and therefore were rejected as Irregular. Mr. Laxurus came Into court, and when he looked over the bids he whls tied long and audibly. Mr; Lazarus has been III for some time, and quite III at that, and he waa not posted in detail, the work having been left to Mr. Gronduhl, his assistant But he knew the tenders of the contractors were one-half in excess of the esti mate, and he whistled when he saw the bids. The architect called the attention of the court to the fuel that the con tractors hud disregarded the formula provided In the blanks, and expressed the opinion that this was rather a peculiar circumstance. He was satis fied the bids were unreasonably high. MASS 0S0RES Awful . Suffering of a Boy from ao Itching Humour. CURED BYiUTICURA Hit One Spare Inch of Skin on His Whole Body Was Unaffected. My little ion, a boy of five, broke out with an Itching rash. Three doc tors prescribed tat him, but he kept getting worse until we could not drees him any more. They Anally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did not do any good. At the time I was lodui. t to try Cutlcnra Remedies he was so bad that I bad to cat his batr off and put tba Cutlcura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There waa not one aqnaro Inch of akin on his whole body that was not affected. He waa one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to bU skin and In removing them It used to take the akin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heart-breaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cutlcura Ointment I began to see signs of Improvement, and with the third and fourth applica tions the sores commenced to dry up. Ills skin peeled off twenty times, but it ' finally yielded to the treatment. I used the Cutlcura Resolvent for his blood, and now I can say that he Is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day."

After some consideration, awever, he suggested that the matter be fciM up until he could secure prices and submit to the court a statement which would show the probable cost of the work of Installing the foundation. His suggestion was favorably acted upon. Judge Trenchard stated that the es timate of the cost of the work was only $10,200. This estimate was mods with a view to allowing the contractor a reasonable profit, and when the bids cam in 111,000 higher the breath of the members of tha court waa almost taken away, There was some specu lation aa to whether or not tha con tractors had coma to an understand ing, which prompted Judge Trenchard: to remark that if there was any com-! binatlon of bidders tha court would find It quit convenient to itself carry on the work under the supervision of the architect Mr. Lazarus will pre pare' a list showing all of the details which should have been ahowa in the blanks furnished the contractors; and this will give the court an accurate idea of what the cost of the work real ly should be. The original estimate prepared by Mr. Orondohl wo based on work somewhat different from that upon which the contractors made their offers, but the court was unable to see that the difference in price should have been ao great It was quite evident from the statements made at the ses sion of the court that the work would never be undertaken at the amount carried by the lowest bid, and It would not be surprising If the county went ahead with. the foundation on its own responsibility. - The estimate of the cost of the char acter of foundation for which bids were tendered yesterday was 110,200. j Mr. Grondabl, who boa had 28 years' experience with this class of work, sub mitted bis estimate to the c6unty court some time ago. He estimated that piling foundation, which Includes con crete work, would cost $8200. In view of the wide difference In the figures of the architect aJ tnoB f the cor troctors, the court suspected that per haps some understanding had been reached by the contracts; "You may rest assured we' WTO see to it that the work is done reasonably" said Judge Trenchard last evening. "We are not at the mercy of contrac tors, by any means, and can ourselves undertake the work If we deem such action advisable. We are spending the people's money, and It shall be our aim to spend It properly or not at alL- WANTS BIO FAAULIES St Louis Divine Says Five Room Flats 'Are to Blame for Race Suicide and Late Marriages FAVORS EARLY MARRIAGES Urge Minfstert to Preach Value of Early Marriages to Their Flocks at Heme). 0t Loula, Juas 2.
