Seattle, June 7. Waterhouse
Co., agents of the Bank line steamers,
have been awarded the contract for
transporting the quartermaster sup
plies from Puget sound to Nagasaki,
Manila and Corregidor island during
the fiscal year beginning July 1 next.
Thla means that Portland will have a
chance to share In this government
business, as the Waterhouse bid In
cludes Portland as a loading Port, while
ttie bid ow Dodwell & Co., the nnly
rival for government freight contracts,
specifically omitted the Columbia river
porta. The latter firm holds the con
tract for the 'present fiscal year, hav
ing underbid Waterhouse last year.
The rivalry, however, la very Intense,
between those firms as Indicated by the
closeness of the figures.
The Waterhouse tender accepted by
the quartermaster general was for a
flat rate as follows: General merchan
dise. $2.43; coal, $3; lumber, 16.45.
Dodwell & Co.'s bid was Merchan
dise, $2.25 summer rate; $2.76 winter
rate; lumber, $6 summer, $6.75 winter;
coal, $3 entire yVar.
On heavy weights Dodwell & Co.
slightly underbid Waterhouse, but the
latter firm offered larger accommoda
tions to first class passengers and also
tendered figures for transporting live
stock, which Dodwell did not. The
government under this figure Is get
ting a cheaper rate. This year Dod
well Is getting $3 for coal and general
merchandise and $7 for lumber. Wa
terhouse formerly was paid $4 general
and $9 for lumber.
The low freights are instanced by the
fact that the government pays $3 from
Seattle to Pusret sound forta on ren.
era! and $7 on orlShance supplies.
