only elx months ago. Architects
and careful . business observers
eitlpiate that costs will soon re
cede at least to the level that pre
vailed last year. To wait even
part of cae year for the Grant
school would save at least $20,000.
The bids called for so long a time
that It would be ' Impossible to

ated , as a r common carrier, The
Pacific-Spruce corporation owner
of .this - road, refused;, to ;givea
common carrier service, apparent
ly trying to -bottle . up the timber
resources of Lincoln county to Its
exclusive advantage. The ; com
mission ordered - the company- to
furnish a jcommoa. carrier t service
and the company appealed to the
federal district court, whiclf has
not yet passed on the case. The
people of Lincoln county, which is
deprived of :about $400- ia taxes
annually..by the cempfcay, are sua
agitating ; for fair playi declaring
that - the Pacific Spruce . corpora
