 The Government has appointed commiS- sioncr to protect timber on public lands and that will be thorn in the wood contractors way Congress failed to make any appro- priation for carrying out the machinery of our army consequently contractors will have to till contracts and await the action of the extra session of Congress in making appro- priationS for the payments of debts which the agents of the Government arc ncceSSari- ly compelled 10 incur. However, the differ ent bidders have undoubtedly weighed all the drawbacks which stare them in the face and are prepared to meet the emergency let 1t be what it may. For our our part we would liked to have seen fair price asked by those making bids whereby they could be enabled to do justice to the Government and at the same time realize handsome prof its for their trouble and the capital invested Uncle Sam is eXacting with it's contractors, advcrtiscs for what is wanted and always specifics the kind of article required, is will 1 ling to pay the highest price, and should any person who bids for contract for the l glory of tho thing get scorched, they have no one to blame but themselves.
