Rodgers Foundry company were tho success ful'biddcrs for the pipe, hydrants and valves and fittings to ho used in the coristiuet'on work of improving tho municipal water system. The con tracts were awarded by tho Council at djourned meeting in the City Hall, I rlday evening. Bids were first opened nt tho re gular meeting last Wednesday, but because of the technicality of tho brds it was moved and passed that r contniitte be appointed to consider nnd report on the bids. Tho report of the committee, composed of Mayor Top .plug, and Cour.cilinen I'ape, Dippel, i nd Chatbtirn and City Engineer Saw yer, was ncceptcd nnd tho bids let as tliav rocomino ided almost without cl :ingo, except for one or two revisi o, i in tho wording. After going in to the problem at length in a special tucoti.it? held Friday afternoon the romm ttee reported as follows: That tho contrnct for tho wood pipe to be up1 be let to tho Pacific Tank anil P r o company, of San Francisco, for H feet of C Inch and 181(5 feet of 10 1 cli lion plpo to theUnlted States f ist Iron Pipe & Foundry company, f r vgjves and hydrants to the Rona i jlner Vnlve ' company, of Seattle, 'ash., and for cast iron collars nnd f tllngs to the Rotors Foundry, of t its city. There were n largo number of bid i' rs on all of the different articles f ir which lb', contracts were let and 1 io work of figuring them nil down to to same basis for comparison. In i io nmtter of pipe it also had to bo i "cided which of the several kinds v ore the most suitable for tho uso to hich they re to lie put. Bids were ubmitted on two kinds of wood pipe, fir and red wood. Upon investi gation the committee decided thnt the latter would lie tho most suitable as experiments! had shown that the fir pipe would not last as long as the wire Willi which it is wound, while tile red wood will outlast the wirebinding by a short period of time. It was also stated that the redwood plpo is wound about 20 por cent closer than the fir. A local firm, Hrown and Gibson, wore bidders on the contract for wood pipo, 1 ut their proposition that the city for ward the money neccessnry for the construction of a plant did not find favor with the committee. "Wo dc trod to f ivor homo industry if It were possible und that phase of the matter was thoroughly discussed, paid Councilman Chatburn. "Upon investigation however, we found that it would be hardly feasible to nw.inl f o contract to the local bidders' lirown a d Gibson's bid was about 4W) dollars above the lowest bid on fir pipe. It was pointed out that while on the rurfaeo the accepted bid for redwood ppo was about $5000 higher than the Ltd submitted for fir, the real diffor- v "o is only about $1500, due to the fjet that the redwood pipe is wound considerably closer than the fir. The Mayor, City Recorder and City JKifineer were authorized fi enter I to the contracts with tho several sue c sitful bidders and arrange for suit til Io bonds. Under the head of new business the C oiincil took up the matter of hiring i atei piller tinetur for iuo with the i g county grader in guiding the t eel that have hoeomo badly cut ! i during the winter.

Handon to Coquille 192 Sunset Hay to North Bend 128 That nlmost everyone traveling over tho road from this city south is sufllciently interested to take the trouble to fill out the blanks and send them to the Ronduinstcr's olllcc, is indicated by the number of rcconnnoii- latinns made for tho improvement of this road. On the Marshfield-Coquil-lo road, where theie in considerabl" more travel, only III more reports were sent in and en the road from Coquille to Myrtle Point the vote on ly exceeded the Bandon-Curry county vote by four. The sentiment through out this section is that the roast road should be improved, but there seems to be a wide difference as to the me thods which should be followed. According to the reports of those who have 1 eon over the road during the past few dsys, it is better than at any time lust summer nnd probnbljj bettor than it will Iki nt any time dur ing the coming dry spell. Tho only Uml spot between here nnd Iiinglois, the time honored mud hole near the Pioiutoy mail box, is being planked from the old planking in the cut about W)0 feet towards the mail box.

Supplies For Local Cannery to be Purchased in Oregon. May Develop Deep Sea Fishing. Roderick MacLoay, head of the Wedderburn Trading company, which recently purchased the co-opeiutivo cannery here, passed through Haudon last week on his way to Wedderburn with a party of friends from Portland TI.ey arrived in the city Friday night and continued down the coast Satur- lay morning. Mr. Macl.eay will spend n couple of weeks getting the Rogue River plant in shape for the opening of the fishing season, April 15. Thnt deep sea fishing on a commer cial scale may bo a new branch of the ompany's industry in tills part of tno lato, is tho word brought by Mr. Mac eay. Experiments in deep sea fish ug arc to be made and it is hoped that i product cimilar to the fish flakes hat ore manufactured on the Atlau ic coast can be made hero. Ho is of he opinion thnt the ling cod would bo uiitable for canning anil would bo de- elopcd into a very popular dish. Such in industry would mean thnt the cutl ery would bo operated tho year a- lound instead of just the few months while the salmon are runnimr. ns is ow the case. Tho company's cold storage plant nt Port Orford is to be jsod for sea fish during the coming uiininer with -tho idea of handling tV'.sh fish. Chns. Johnson has been appointed nnnager of tho cannery hero and will .ommence putting things in shape for ho next canning season at once. Ho s tho son of Geo. Johnson, who for many years has been In chargo of tlu ompany's Rogue River plnnt. Mr. Maclcay announces that all of the supplies for the local connery vill be purchased in Oregon and us many of them ns possible, right here n Handon. Formerly most of tho upplios were bought in San Francisco iking considerable money 41 way from home. Company frciirht between lore and the north will be tnkon care if by the Elmore line boats. Speaking generally of the fishing nd canning situation Mr. Mncleay taled that he looked for a good sea- on on the Rogue River. Although nost of the biir canneries nlontr the oast have large supplies of first rade salmon left over from last years pack nnd the price for that grade is bout 10 cents lower than last fall, he price for "seconds" is high and ho demand is strong. This hitter is tie to the large war orders that are icing placed for salmon. Mr. Mncleay will spend the coming summer attemlimr to his cannerv in- erests in this section and in Portland irecting his campaign for represen- itive from Multnomah county. His political plea is business men for a usiuess administration. I FIELD SLIPS HER MOORINGS SUNDAY NIGHT During the high tide of Sunday iglit the Fifield broke tho moorings which held her up on tho beach where he had been drawn und slid back in to te surf, turning broadside. It win the rough surf rather than an extre mely high tide which caused tho ship to break loose. The work of getting her up on the bench for which about $::f00 was expended, is now of no a. vail nnd woik of towing the ship out to sea will be greatly increased. Judge John 8.
