LAND CITY JOBS
Eugene contractors were favored by
the city council in awarding bids of
the Houlh Willamette Hewer projects,
and four proposed alley improve
ments at tbeir special meeting yes
tcrdny afternoon.
Argument over the type of pipe line
fur the sewer in the College 1 1 ill dis
trict as to whether it should be con
crete or vitrified pipe, took so much
of the council's time that several of
the items of business to be discussed
Imd to bo postponed until next Mon
diiy's meeting.
Contracts for the bridges across
the millrai'C at Ililyurd and I'attcrsun
streets were not Jet, as there np
peared to be a lack of money on hand
to build them. Tbero was a $11
difference between tho prices of the
two low bidders. Homes Itrothcrs'of
Kugene, $4080 and Olds Construction
company of I'ortland, f-1900.
Fred Smith, attornc.v, urged that
the vitrified pipe be used for the
work, and Howard J In II defended the
' concrete pipe, manufactured locally.
' Finally Mayor l'nrks ruled that the
dispute was a matter to be settled be
tween the contractor and the petition
ers, anil the majority of prnpeily
owners could demand the type of pipe
they wanted.
Contractors awarded the various
projects were ns follows:

Agriculture Faces
Prosperous Year,
Says Mr. Capper
CHICAGO, March 27. Senator
Capper of Kansas, here enroute to bis
home from Washington sees prospects
of .a prosperous year for agriculture
a buJ'inets revival when farmers mar
ket the next crop and come buck for
the cattle industry within a year.
"If we have only a fair crop and a
good price the farmers will be in fine
jhape this .year," he said. "His fi
nancial improvement last season did
not apparently result in the increased!
buying power many were looking for.
The reason was that the farmer got;
rid of his debts, his bank debts andj
back taxes, and this took much of hii i
increased revenue. j
"Economist who have studied the
situation thoroughly agree thai: the
cattle industry will be on a prosperous
footing within the next your or so.
This means a great deal, for in recent
yearn, it has been in extremity, and
many wealthy cattlemen with great
herds in the west have had their for
tunes wiped out."
