Award of Sewer Contracts Will Not

very simple reason that nobody went
to hear him. The day of the campaign
orator is passing, and it will require
a stronger "spell-binder" than Judge
Whitney to muster a crowd in Dallas.
.failure on the part of a Portland
contractor to get his bid Into the
hands of the city couucil before the
hour advertised for opening bids, and
tne assurance of the contractor that
the bid was $300 lower than any
others submitted, caused the city
council to reject all sewer bids Wed
nesday evening. Proposals for the
construction of the sewers will be re
ceived up to and including May 21 at
1 o'clock p. m., and opened the same
day at 7 :30 o'clock p. m.
Ho blame can be attached to any
one for the delay, as the council de
sires to get the work done as cheaply
as possible and at the same time deal
fairly with all bidders. The con
tractors all understand the reason for
the postponement of the work, and it
is believed that they will again sub
mit bids a week from next Saturday.
Gratifying interest was shown in
the Dallas sewer project oy con
tractors generally, and bid3 were re
ceived from J. B. Slemmons, of Port
land ; Harkuess & Lawrenson, of
Albany ; Jacobsen-Bade Company, of
Portland, and F. H. Morrison, of
Dallas. The bids were as follows :
Jacobsen-Bade Company, of Port
land :
Court Street sewer $1632.00
Mill Street sewer 1260.00
Outlet 464.00
Total $3356X0
J. D. Slemmons. of Portland :
Mill, Court and outlet $3718.10
Harkness & Lawrenson, of Albany:
Mill aud Court $2886.56

Mill and Court $3323.19

Riner & Riner, of Portland, spent
several days in Dallas, looking over
the fi round aud figuring on the work,
but Instead of bringing their bid to
the council in person, they sent it by
registered mail on Saturday, and it
did not reach Dallas until the arrival
of the train Monday evening. The
council was in session when the mail
was distributed, and the bid did not
reach their hands until Tuesday
morning.
All bids on hand Monday evening
were 'opened, but as two were very
close together in the aggregate, and
the bidding was done on items, the
council was unable to decide which
was the more advantageous to the
city, so the meeting was adjourned
until Wednesday evening and the
Auditor and Mr. Gates, the consulting
engineer, were requested to go over
the bids carefully and prepare a re
port. When the couucil met on Wednes
day eve ring, the bid olljer & Bine
was in hand, and tne question of
opening it was discussed. The post

other evidence went to show that it

GREAT MUSICAL EVENT
Over One Hundred People Take Part
in Local Production of
"Queen Esther."
The sacred cantata, "Queen Esther"
was presented by local talent to large
audiences in the College Gymnasium
on Friday and Saturday evenings of
last week. Nearly one hundred young
people took part in the production.
The cantata was handsomely staged,
and the costumes of the singers were
appropriate and attractive. The
chorus was well trained, and th
various drills showed careful and
painstaking work on the part of the
participants, and the director, Mr.
A. H. Newton.
The attendance was large both
nights, aDd the women of the College
Professorship Association will clear
about $50 as their share of the pro
ceeds. Mr. Newton gave the home
people a much larger per centage of
the receipts than is usually offered by
traveling musicians giving enter
tainments of this class, and, as a con
sequence, a neat sum was realized for
the benefit of the College.
