les, including the divorce laws in

American social leaders, but wanted
to meet American men, notably
Charles Evans Hughes and Elihu

MADRAS. Jan. 31. Althonga
numerous contractors were on hand
here today, no bids were presented
In answer to the call for contractors
proposals advertised by the directors
of the North Unit. The magnitude
of the undertaking. Involving an es
timated cost of (7,000.000, is be-,
lieved to have prevented competitive
bidding. Contractors who were pres
ent for the opening of sealed pro
posals are understood to have been
awaiting the chance to secure sab
contracts. Two Culls Made.
A. D. Anderson, official of the dis
trict, could make no definite an
nouncement today regarding the next
step to be taken In starting the con
struction of a storage dam at Ben
ham Falls and canals and laterals
to water the lands In Jefferson coun
ty. He stated, however, that the dis
trict has complied fully with the
terms of the law In twice calling for
bids, and that the failure of contrac
tors to respond now leaves the dis
trict free to negotiate privately for
proposals. 1
That this course would be par
sued, he was unable to state defin
itely. EASTERNBROOK

OK DESCHITES.
Slightly more than 1,000,000 east
ern brook trout eggs, the last of

brought in to Bend this morning
from the eying station at the head
waters of the Deschutes near Little
Lava lake, by Rev. J. Edgar Purdy,
Jesse Tetherow, and Cecil Burner.
The eggs, taken at Elk lake, will
be transported to the Tumalo plant
for hatching.
Traveling over snow more than
four feet deep, necessitating the use
of snowshoes, the party, accompan
ied by W. H. Delbruegge, Clarence
Manu, and Ralph La Follette, who
had been at the lake, dragged sleds
carrying the eggs, 18 miles to the
head of Fall river. From there, Del
bruegge, Mann, and La Follette went
on to La Pine, and the others com
pleted the Journey to Bend with their
cargo of spawn, traveling by auto
truck.
For those who are accustomed to
the wonders of the summer trip over
this route. Rev. J. Edgar Purdy ad
vises the winter excursion, declaring;
that it surpasses In beauty the auto
tour which can be made in the warm
er months. He reported a pair of
very lame legs as the result of his
first experience with snowshoes.
