Mr. Supple Grows Sarcastic,
Portland, Sept. 22. To the Editor of
The Journal Since the bids for the
construction of tho flreboat were opened
and I waa found to be the loweat bidder,
so many questiona have been aaked
that I wish to make my position pub
lic.
Being an owner of water front proper
ty I realise the publlo sentiment ln fn-
vor of speed in getting tho boat read;
and in preparing my estimate I figured
on eight months as the shortest time
possible, in my Judgment, for tha proper
preparation of the materials, building
the hull, and assembling tha power plant
and pumps. The lumber for the bull Is
still unsawed and should be allowed a
little time to season before It Is framed.
else the shrinkage will keep the hull
constantly limber and liable to gt out
of ahape. I would have named a shorter
time than eight months to make deliv
ery had I considered it practicable..
When one stops to think that the va
rious parts which will make up the
pumps, boilers, engines, equipment and
accessories in a thousand and one de
tails, are now scattered over many
states, and that the lumber Is still in
the logs, one can realise that It is no
small nor easy task to assemble all and
Install them in a aubstantially built
hull, making a complete and successful
flreboat I contend that this Is rvlrtual
ly a boat builder's Job and that his esti
mate of the time required to put In com
mission this flreboat should be more
nearly correct than the Judgment of
those in any other line of business, and
I would call attention to the fact that
the only other boat builder who offered
a bid wanted ten months time. In
making my proposal I considered the
fact that the great need of the flreboat
would render the publlo sensitive about
any delay In delivery over tha time
J stated In the contract and J did not de
sire to run tne risit or puoiio censure Dy
proposing to furnish the flreboat In less
time than I felt satisfied waa required
to turn out a flrst-class Job. -
-.When the bids were opened the flre
boat committee seemed to favor the
Judgment of the Willamette Iron and
Steel works',, who made the statement
that they would build and deliver the
completed boat In six months time, and
though my bid was at a lower price
thai) theirs the committee considered
that this bare statement of lesa time
(with no certainty of getting It ful
filled) should be given the preference
over both my lower price and also my
Judgment In- regard to time. This I do
not -consider a fair deal to me and have
so stated. ' .
I will submit that I have had 30 years
experience in building wooden craft, and
that I have a. complete equipment in
JhTs elty for that purpose, and that I
am able to construct this roat in as
short a time as anyone can.' T feel thai
the flreboat rommltte acted hastier when
it did not give my bid more considera
tion. While the famous "H&mU" was
being talked of and a new steel hull
waa being considered I did not offer any
proposal, but when a Wooden hull was
called for I thought It time to butt In.
It seems, however, that I made a mis
take and should the city need a new
town clock, or new uniforms for the
police, or some other article about the
construction of which I know nothing-
I will offer A bid agreeing to deliver In
an impracticable haste and will no
doubt be awarded the contract

' Many charitable persona have become
interested In the pathetlo ease of Mrs.
Mary Bruce, who for the past 2H years
has been a patient at Good Samaritan

The unfortunate woman, who haa been

proved considerably during the past few
weeks. She-la now hopeful -of recov

Through his attorney, Charles T. Lord,
ur: John H. Davis has filed a counter af
fidavit In tho suit for -divorce begun
against him by Lucy A.' Doris, denying
all tha allegations made by hla wife. He
declares that he never treated hla wife
cruelly, that she always had plenty of
wearing apparel, and that aha left Bump
ter in company with her mother, Han
nah Nfcolat not because .-. he had any
trouble with her, but because she wished
to evade smallpox, then prevalent In the
mining town, and also to make a trip to
California.
-, Since their separation Davis asserts
that he haa been unable to .see his
4-year-old son, Harry. Owing to threats
and communications which have come to
him from various people, ha did not dart
to visit the home of his mother-in-law,
and that on September IT bis father-in-law.
Theodore Nicolai, in the corridor
of the county courthouse, In company
with Mr. Lord, called him names too vile
and reprehensible to be spread upon the
records of the court, and he haa been
and continues to be In fear of bodily in
Jury should he vlelt the home of his
motber-ln-law, Hannah Nicolai. on ac
count of the threats made by Theodore
IMlcolal.
Davis further alleges that his wife
never had to apply to her relatives for
aid or for clothing, and he says that his
wire is not a fit person to have the cue
tody of their child, for the reason that
Theodore Nloolal, father of Mrs. Davis,
"and with whom plaintiff and their
minor child now realde and will continue
to reside. Is addicted to the excessive
use of intoxicating liquors, to such an
extent that his own children refuse to
ride upon the same streetcar with him or
speak to him or address htm in a filial
or any way for periods of several weeks
at a time." '
The answer continues: "He la fre
quently coming home at various hours
of the day and of the night In a drunken

child would be unfit for one of tender'
years." I
Davis also asserts that the mind of
his son has been poisoned against him
by Hannah Nicolai, and that on Septem
