"I do not want to send them to San Francisco,'' said Mr. Wejnian. "In fact, 1 did not know that the engineers In that city were on a strike until I was so in : formed today.

In tons production, in delicacy of interpretation, in the breadth or his musical conceptions, Bauer is an artist of tha first rank. His method is unique he does some things In a startling manner,, yet there is nothing affected nothing sensational, . and one feels al ways perfect assurance in the reserve which good taste demands. Portland has certainly never heard Beethoven's , "Appasslonata" : sonata' played before In such magnificent styla. The dignified and beautiful andante and the grand oJlma-t! In the last movement were played with remarkable power. In the Schuihann "Krelslerlana, Bauer ! played the whole gamut of human emo tions, nothing seemed left ' out the grave, the gay, the pathetic, the bizarre appeared at intervals woven in tha won derful harmonies. ' ' i In response to the storm of applause he gave the familiar Novolette No. T (Schumann). The quiet and sustained tones in the Brahms "Intermeszo" Rrere wonderful.1 . POLITICAL DODGER HAS CLEVER PLAN For many years Boss Tweed of the Atlantic and Boss Buckley on the Pa cific coast enjoyed the .reputation of be ing the greatest two political factors in the country.

It : was in the glorious sweep of ths "Ride of the Valkyries," however, that Bauer was discovered by the audience in the full force of his power.

'. , ; Bids' for the buildings to be erected by the state commission of the Lewis and Clark fair were opened yesterday af ternoon at 2 o clock, v prior-to a lengthy consideration of higher mathematics, J, W. Alberts, chairman of ths building committee; briefly discussed ths bids in general. . He explained several minor points and then touohed up the master builders and their woes. s -: 1 "Ths master builders," hs said, "pre sen ted a complaint touching the regula tions adopted concerning, the bids and construction work. The committee of ths builders visited the board and left apparently well satisfied with the ex planations given them. Afterwards they. or certain members of their body, Baw fit to personally attack ths integrity of the commissioners. ' Whether those who so attacked the commissioners ha- offered bids' I do not know, but U will make tio difference; they ' will be ac corded ths same treatment as that given all other bidders. -To this personal at tack ths board has nothing to say ex cept to remind the builders of the dog who bit ths man; the dog died, but the man recovered.". This auspicious opening was received by the builders and contractors present silently, though ths representatives of outslds firms may have smiled slightly. It was found that the bidders had misunderstood . ths specifications re garding ths bridge, some of them sub mitting estimates upon the superstruc ture and others not doing so, Ohs con tractor stated that he had sent in his bid without this item and then had been told by an officer of : the building de partment to Incorporate the bid on the bridge; The cost of electric wiring was also left out of the bids. Bids were submitted by ths follow ing: , J. E. Bennett, Goldle Construction company. W. R. Griffith, J. O. Wrenn. K A. Lynds, Robert Wakefield,- 3. V. Til- lotson, Welch & Mourer, W. J. Blagln and the Burrell Construction company. Foreign bidders , were the Burrell com pany of Seattle, the Goldle company of St Louis and Welch & Mourer of Sa lem. , ' ' A tabulated list of ths various bids follows: - -, - -.v--.

Besides these offerings the Goldle company offered to cut the pries on the states and liberal arts building $1,000 if, they secured salvage, their remain ing estimates would be cut ths odd hun dreds on ths salvage basis and the bid of E. A. Lynds was cut 18,343 on ths ad ministrative building, this amount being deducted by the bidder, as hs had in cluded an estimate for the electric. wir ing. The Goldle company also offered a bid for the entire list of buildings with a salvage of 1310,900; Welch & Mourer offered a lump bid of $358,105 if they received a salvage; the Burrell company agreed to cut the estimate on tha state, liberal arts and festival hall buildings 11,000 each if they received salvage and to cut their other estimates ths odd hundreds, their lump bid with salvage being $297,000. ' After . ths bids had been tabulated the commission resumed a consideration of their merits. Ths comniisslon found that by taking ths lowest bid offered on each building the total could be kept in ths appropriation, $275,000. It devel oped, however, that the ooiaie - com pany had two low bids, but refused to take a contract for less than four build ings, and as they did not offer the lowest bids on four buildings their entire offer ing was thrown out This was the first winnowing of the bids, and was followed by. a prolonged discussion concerning ths other bkls. Leaving out of ths ques tion ths Gold is bids ths totals could not be mads to libs with the amount avatla bis. i but a closer insight revealed tho fact that ths bridge bid was the trou ble. ' It was -stated by ths superintend' ent of buildings, that ths brldgs bid was entirely too high, and this was eliminated and bids for ths bridge will bs re-advertised for. ' Soon after it was moved that ths certified checks of Mr. Wrenn, Lynds, TUloJson, Blagln and Griffith bs returned, las their bids were evidently too high. The motion passed and soon ; after it was practically de cided to consider only the bids of Mr, Bennett for ths states and admlnistra tlon buildings, that of ths Burrell Con struction company for ths forestry and festival hall, and of Mr. Wakefield for the liberal arts building. . Ths commission dropped further con sideration of bids without actually ac cepting any and asked the superintendent to compare ths lowest bids with his es timates and report at ths adjourned meeting, which will bs held Wednesday night for final action. V :, ,, . , Ths commission set June 15 ss the date of the dedication of the Oregon building at St, Louis. This date is Ore gon day at the St Louis fair, and Gov- ernor Chamberlain and other representa tive citizens will bs present Ths gov ernor will conduct the ceremonies.
