automatic check perfertor that readily
punches in small perforated holes the

have not been tampered with. For the
lack of some such advice the county of
Walla Walla lost, q short time ago 5000
by reason of the figures on certain county
warrants having been raised.
Mr.. w. B. Loss is in the city from
Portland intending to put in bid on the
work to be done under the auspices of
the water commission. It is the inten-
ton OF the company which Mr.. Loss
represents to buy all their material in
this city that is needed for the work to
be done here if he secures the contract.
likewise he will hire all his men and
teams in The Dalles and will import no
laborers. All the work will be done
under his personal supervision but by
residents of our city, thus putting the
money into immediate circulation here
which is paid out on the contract. With
such q platform we hope Mr.. Loss NAV
be the successful bidder. The contract
is to be let next Saturday.
