During his speech. President Taft
said that he was extremely glad that
the constitution of the United States

AWARDED FOR 11TA
Lucky Bidders
By a unanimous vote of the coun
cil last evening, Warren Brothers of
Boston, were awarded the contract
for paving Alta and Cottonwood
streets, their bid for bitulithlc having
I been declared the lowest and best.
I The terms specified in their bid were
! $24,788.03 for Aha street and $15,
J 97 8.05 for Cottonwood street.
Warren Brothers did not, however.
i secure the contract without a hard
j fight waged both before the street
' committee and before the council as
' a whole. Hobinson & Foster of Spo-
kane had submitted a bid for a bitu-
mass pavement and as their bid was
thirty cents a cubic yard under that
lor ,jltuu,hie put In by" the Boston
firm, u could not be passed UP ug-ntiy.
When Councilman Stroble for the
"trwt c"mmiu,e recommended that
j ine paving or ine streets in question
! be proceeded with and made a mo
! Hon which was seconded, that the
j council nccept Warren Bros. bid,
Mayor Murphy demanded that the-!

This incident gave the officers a
direct clew and Sheriff Taylor noti
fied Tucker to be on the watch, with
the result that the fugitive was soon
in limbo again. He was brought back
to Pendleton this morning. During
his short liberty he had succeeded in
getting i complete change of clothes,
evidently having made a trade with
some hobo.
The recapture of Wilson proves
again the difficulty which criminals
have in escaping the dragnet which i
Sheriff Taylor has placed about the
