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.

Another Cold Night ' ,

pleasant effect of the low tempera
ture. The range of the thermometer

yesterday a recorded by Manager
Lamar, was 48 as the maximum and
30 a a minimum, or 2 degrees below
the freezing point. The low point

ing the thermometer registered 32
degree and was still falling while at

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.

next month according' to statements
made in Wall street yesterday. Last
fall the city put in bankers hands a
similar amount of fifty years bonds
and $10,000,000 in ten years bonds.

ity and the bankers that no new of
fering of long term bonds should be
made until the last of that issue was
sold to investors. (That the bankers
have marketed all or practically all of

municipal bond issue.
