Street Improvement Contract , Bids were opened yesterday by the property owners on Eleventh street, between Duaue and Exchange street, for the improvement of that street, by placing new underpinning and planking. The work will be done under the contract awarded by the property owners, the city council having granted permission. When the bids were opened yesterday it was found that Palmbcrg & Co., had bid $1765; Hcndrickson Bros., $1758; Birch & Jacobson, $1725 and Makalla & Co., $1480. The latter firm, being the lowest bidders, were awarded the contract. The result of the bidding was very satisfactory to the owners, as it is said that the lowest bid is $300 less than the city engineer's estimate for the work. Chatauqua Assn. Want Site The representative of the Chatau qua Association has asked the Cham ber of Commerce to secure for him if possible a site of from 10 to 20 acres anywhere along the beach from Fort Stevens to Seaside where a summer Chatauqua can be held. The associa tion will be a permanent feature and will last indefinitely in the future, each summer meeting continuing probably about two weeks. This representa tive desires that the site be tendered free of rental if possible and in that case as the beach from Fort Stevens to Seaside is more desirable than any part of the Northwest for such a meeting he has no doubt of his abil ity to give Clatsop county the bene fits of the permanent association. As there would be in all probability at least a thousand people In camp at these Chatauqua grounds for the two weeks or longer there would of course be valuable reasons why property holders might want to secure the lo cation for the Chatauqua. Probably the best site for an encampment of this kind anywhere in the Northwest is that on , "'ch the State militia camped at Seaside last summer and if the citizens v f Seaside see fit to tender a site of 10 acres for the per manent Chatauqua Association which can be used two weeks or a little longer each summer there is scarce ly any doubt of the fact that Seaside will capture the plum, but there are some splendid sites along the sea beach In Clatsop county outside of Seaside and the owners of these or interested parties in these should get busy at once. , ' .,1 ' pessonal mamm.

REUF'S GUARD DOUBLED. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30. -The Call ays today: Warned by a per sistent and well-defined rumor that Abe Rucf, grown frantic on the eve of trial, has planned out in detail an escape from custody to be accom plished on the lonely road between this city and the county jail. Sheriff Dolan has doubled the guard over the prisoner and has taken every pre caution to prevent the carrying out of the suspected plot. Two deputy sheriffs, fully armed and with instructions to keep Ruef prisoner at any cost, now accompany him in hi automobile during all the iitne he is absent from the jail and the strictest orders have been issued concerning the methods to be adopt ed at the first suspicious sign made by either the fallen boss or the chauffeur in charge of the car, Should Reuf attempt to put the plan which it is believed has already been ar ranged the first appearance of a res cue party would be the signed for action by the deputy sheriffs to the end of preventing their prisoner ever leaving the automobile alive. CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION. CHICAGO, Jan.. 30.-" A' campaign of education," on the saloon question is to be pushed through the United States not this time by the W. C. T. U. nor any law and order leagues but by liquor dealers and their allies. The nature of the instruction also will differ from that familiar through the campaigns of the teetotal crusades. The movement was given impetus last night at a meeting of the Man ufacturers and Dealers Club of Illinois. The object of the campaign is to create a sentiment against the local option laws and disorderists which are becoming so numerous. They are opposed to "cranks, hypocrites and the fanatical prohibition element" The movement is not wholly in the interest of the manufacturers. The concern is felt for the welfare "of the starving women and children of employes" thrown out of work be cause of the activity of the prohibit tionists. LONG TERM BONDS.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-About $40, 000,000 worth of long term 4 1-2 per cent bonds will be offered for sale by the city of New York the middle of next month according' to statements made in Wall street yesterday.
