Palmberg, Goodin & Mattson, as they are responsible men in their Tine and are clearly the -lowest bid der The lowest bidders ask until August, 1910, to finish the contract, if awarded to them, so that by the opening of the following dry season everything would be settled down in good shape and the reservoir be ready for filling.

AN EPISODE OF WAR. The Only Coward Evan Evr 8w In the Navel Service. After Admiral Evan bad been so grievously wounded hi the attack oti Fort Fisher durlug the civil war be was picked up by ti marine named Waamoutb and carried Into compara tive shelter. Wasmoutb was killed a few minutes later. Evans' own ac couut continues: "After Wusiuoutb was killed 1 soon fell asleep, aud when I awoke It was some time before 1 could recall . my surroundings. Tbe tide bad come in, nnd the bole lu wbleb 1 was lying was nearly full ot water, which had about covered me and was trickling Into my ears I could see a monitor firing and appar ently very near, and the thought mine to me that 1 could swim off to ber If I only bad a bit of plank or driftwood, but this I could not get It wns plnln enough that 1 should soou be drowned like a rat in a' hole unless I managed to get out somehow Dead nnd wound ed men were lying about in ghnstly piles, but no one to lend me a helping band. By this time I could not use my legs In any way, uud when 1 dug my hands Into the sides of my prlsoD and tried to pull myself out the sand gave way nnd left me still lying In thp water. Finally I made n strong effort and rolled myself sideways out of tbe bole. "When I got out 1 saw a marine a short distance away nicely covered by a pile of sand and firing away deliber ately at the fort. I called to him to pull me In behind his bar of sand, but be declined on the ground that the fire was too sharp for blm to expose him self. I persuaded him with my re volver to change bis mind, and In two seconds he bad me in a place of safe tythat is to say, safe by a small mar gin, for when he fired the Confederate bullets would snip tho sand within a few Inches of our heads. If the ma rine bad known that my revolver was soaking wet and could not possibly be fired I suppose I would have been buried the next morning, as many oth er poor fellows were. As soon as I could reach some cartridges from a dead rnllor lying near me I loaded my revolver, thinking It might be useful before the Job was finished. "When I was Jerked In behind this pile of sand I landed across the body of the only coward I ever saw in the naval service. At first I was not con scious that there was a man under me, so completely bad he worked himself Into the saud. lie was actually below the surface of the ground. The moni tors were firing over us, and as a shell came roaring by be pulled his knees up to his chin, which hurt me, as It jostled my broken legs. I said: 'Hello! Are you wounded?' 'No, sir,' he replied; 'I am afraid to move.' 'All right, then,' I said, 'keep quiet and don't hurt my legs again.' The next shell that came over be did tbe same thing and tbe next notwithstanding my repeated cau tions. So I tapped blm between tbe eyes with tbe butt of my revolver, and he was quiet after that" Seen- California?
