Fish and Carter Are Lowest Bid
ders—Pete Layton Also
Makes Bid for Work.
Lieut. Weeks, secretary of the
Hoad Commission, opened the
bids for the fascine work on the
Valdez dike and it was found that
two bids had been made, one for
2 and 9-10 cents by Fish and
Carter, and the other for 5 cents
a lineal foot, made by Pete Lay
ton.
The estimates require about
160,000 feet of fascines, which, at
the lowest bid, will amount to
$ 1,600.
The bids for the poles and rocks
needed will be received on the
2-ilh. The rocks must weigh 25
pounds each and the poles must
be 16 feet long and not less than
2 inches at the top and 6 inches
a I 1 he butt end.
Incongruities.
The man who pays a trilling
tax is always out with battle-ax,
condemning this, denouncing
that, and talking wildly through
his hat. The man who doesn’t pay
his debts, whose creditor in sor
row sweats, is always finding
signs of graft in public men, and
guile and craft. The man who lets
his weary wife do washing to sus
tain his life is always active with
his jaws discussing needed help
ful laws. The man who has no
traps to guard has fifteen watch
dogs in his yard which howl all
night till neighbors weep or call
for poison in their sleep. The man
who fails in all he tries on some
high office has his eyes; oh, he
could guide the1 ship of state, al
though he can not pay the freight.
The man who has a private jug
too often roasts the thirsty plug
who boldly seeks the shining bar
where forty-rod and bitters are.
The man who plays a quiet game
in some resort unknown to fame
is angry when he hears of chaps
who waste their substance play
ing craps. And some who preach
'the love of man, the helping hand,
the kindly plan, expounding div
ers creeds and gods, are stuck
like beeswax to their wads.

Seattle, -May j'j.—Negmialinns
were completed yesterday ltirough
the office of Lee & Hrinton, nav

57-foot power boat, Lillie Wil

River in Alaska, the Columbia
Valley Irrigated Fruit Lands Co.,
which will use I lie craft on I he
upper Columbia, near Golden, M.

opment. of some irrigated fruit
lands in that region.
Capable of making better Ilian
13 miles an hour, but drawing on
ly Hi inches of wafer when fully
loaded, the Little Willie became
famous when she was owned by
M J Lei ey and used on the Cop
per Riv«'i while Honey was build
ing the Copper River & North
western railroad. She was the
only craft which was found pow
erful enough to buck the swift
currents of the lower Copper, and
shallow enough to keep oil' the
sand bars and negotiate the intri
cate channels.
The Little Willie is known as
a "tunnel” boat, and is driven by
twin 35-horse power Union en
gines. She was sold to the Co
lumbia River people by James
Campbell, of Seattle, and will be
shipped to Golden by rail. Tin
new owners are making a few al

passenger carrying on the upper

SENIORS.
(By George Fitch.)
At this time of the year tlie
senior becomes an all-important
institution in our colleges. A sen
ior is like a president in the last
gasps of office. He is a great
man who is about to become a
common citizen. After the senior
has delivered his oration and has
received his diploma, he takes off
his cap and gown and becomes a
humble struggler at the foot of
the ladder, with everybody’s feet
in his face. But just before com
mencement he is so large that it.
takes a freshman or sophomore
several minutes to walk entirely
around him. Nothing is more in
teresting than to watch an under
classman looking up to a senior
— unless it is to watch the same
senior a few months later looking
up to an office hoy and asking him
how he got iiis job.
A senior is a man who is com
pleting his education in science,
philosophy, language, and arts,
and is about to begin it in work,
worry, and the earning of a liv
ing. Being a senior is more fun
than almost anything else, be
cause a senior has had all that
is coining to him in college, and
doesn’t know what is coming to
him in life.
a great many seniors are very
wise, and have more knowledge
than most men of 50. A senior
ran sit down and instruct a cap
tain of industry in metaphysics
and aesthetics, and can read Lat
in faster than a railroad presi
dent. Some seniors carry this
knowledge away from the college
with them and try to peddle it in
the wholesale districts, while oth
ers take a check for it and leave
it in a cool, dry place, where it
will not be disturbed. When you
notice an ex-senior making very
good in business, politics or
journalism you can safely bet that
he has taken off most of his plo
gies and has gotten down to his
fighting clothes.
Seniors are very necessary, be
cause we must have men with
trained minds, eve'll if they do
leave their mental Indian clubs
in the gynasium on graduation.
But seniors do not have to be
taken seriously, except by those
who are not yet seniors. One of
the pathetic sights of life is a
young graduate of Yale or Har
vard trying to hock a football,
and debating club glory in the
busy financial district.
The Thompson-Ford are drift
ing on the ore struck in the tun
nel and it is holding up good and
shows values.
