City Water Wotlci.
Saturday evening the Hirer members
inmpnslug the water lounniltee nt the
uty council, opened the bids tli.it li.nl
been piesented hv inntr.nlnrs '" the ..on
striktlon nt the 111 w water system.
I heir were three bids .ill told piesented.
All three 11I the bids were, on a i.uelul
examination by the committee, tije,ted.
I line ate several reasons given by the
toiiiulhneu lor the tejeitlon of the bids
presented.
In the Inst place, only one of the bids
whs properly exeiiited and piesented as it
should be. I lien again, there was muIi a
wide dillereuce In the bids olfered tor the
work to be done. I his showed to the
iiiuiiillmrn that one man was cither bid
ding aw av below w hat the w orK could actu
ally be done tot, and the other above, one
therefore bidding at an euotmoiis loss,
the other at a c.-iiii. heme one was bidding
to lose, the other to gain, or one or all of
them had little or no iiiiueption whatever
of the wotk thev were bidding to under
take. l:or instaiue, one man bid js cents
per load for remov inn 'hit, another bid do
ients lor the same work; one bid ?oo as
the cost ot doing a icrtaiu part ol the
work,. mother 5ooo for the same.
Taking these things into consideration,
the water committee deemed it wise to re
ject all three ot the bids presented, and
thus acted anoidiguly.
The only thing lor the couucilmen to do
in an event of this Mud is to advertise j
anew for bids, and see It better results '
can be had in the matter of semiring ion
tractors. Baker City Republican. .
Capitalists for Prairie City. I
Cleaver Brothers were in town Satur
day, bound for Prairie City, with a party
of three capitalists trom Milwaukee.
Whether these gentlemen are going over
there to buy a mine, a slice of the town
site, or to build hotels, saw mills and
customs stamp mills, could not be learned;
but that the object of the trip was to In
vest in some enterprise of importance and
beuelit to Iheiouutrythe Messrs. Cleaver
hesitatingly conlessed. Dr. Cleaver
stated that during Ills two weeks absence
on the 10.1st he sold titty lots in the town
site. He further stated that he is now
negotiating tor a saw mill to supply the
most urgent need ol the town at present.
Colonel Grayson Back Front the East.
Colonel John I . (irayson has returned
from Ills trip in the east, where he has
been lor several weeks past. Colonel
( irayson savs that eastern people are be
coming interested hi eastern Oregon
mines. Until quite recently this section
ot the mining world was comparatively
unknown, but a great change is taking
place and eastern capital is looking this
way. Col. t irayson says there are many
capitalists in the east who will come here
this summer witli a view of investing in
the mines. Baker Citv Republican.
