M 'DONALD GETS CONTRACT.
tfalla Walla Horm Buyer Will Fur
nish 70 Cavalry Horaea.
Mordo McDonald of thin city, who
las been In Seattle for several days
past looking after business Interests,
was Monday awarded the contract for
supplying 70 head of cavalry horses
and 20 artillery horses, upon which
he filed a bid In response to the call
of the war department some three
weeks ago, says the Walla Walla
Union. The terms of the contract
provide that the animals must all be
bays, and must be ready for delivery
within 80 days.
Mr. McDonald placed the bid with
the department over three weeks ago,
but heard nothing regarding It until
a few days ago, when he was In Se
attle. He makes a specialty of fur
nishing army horses, and has been
successful for the past several years
In sfcurlng two contracts per year.
Most of the horses called for In
Mr. McDonald's contract will be pur
chased In this vicinity, althougt It Is
probable that he will find It neces
nary to make several trips through
the northern part of Oregon to se
cure the required number of animals.
The horses will be shipped to Fort
Riley, Kansas, where they will be
put Into the service. " .

NOT OPPOSED TO RESERVES.
Public Land Meeting Will Not Fight
the President's Policy.
The following atatement has been
made by the -publicity committee of
the Public Land convention relative
to the objects of the meeting.
There has been some criticism of
the proposed Public Lands conven
tion at Denver: June ,18-30, on the
ground that It was ' intended to op
pose the forest reserves. This Is not
true. The people of the west gener
ally favor the forest reserve Idea as
It was originally created, but they are
decidedly opposed to the- revenue pro
ducing scheme Into whloh It has de
teriorated. ' The people of the east
em states will not 'insist upon this
Imposition upon the west when they
understand' the,eltuatlon .and. ,i' just
wnat is being done.

For the state of Washington the

92 per cent; 10-year average, 95 per
cent.
The average condition of winter

BIDS FOR STEEL BRIDGES.
One Over McKay the Other Over the
Walla Walla.
Bids for the construction of two
new steel bridges have been asked for
by hte county court and are to be
submitted by July 10. One of the
bridges Is to be placed at the Salis
bury, sometimes called the Ely cross
ing, on McKay creek, while the other
Is to replace the old Miller bridge at
Milton. i
The location of the McKay creek
bridge was decided upon by Judge
Gllllland after-having carefully Inves
tigated the matter and listened to the
opinions of people residing In that
vicinity. The bridge there Is to have
a 90-foot span and a fill on either side.
However, the fill will be made by res
idents of the vicinity.
The bridge at Milton, which Is
across the Walla Walla river, will have
a 100-foot span. It will replace a
wooden bridge that has become so 'bid
that It Is no longer safe for travel.
It Is probable that the contractors
will be given three months In which
to have the bridges In glace as It Is
difficult for the contracting companies
to get their material here promptly.
