about two hours late leaving here. The
reason for the delay was that the engineer

They struck sand spit, however, off

a Curious Confract

The following curious contract is to be
found among the papers of school district
number FIVE:
This contract, made this oath day OF
March, 1892, between The Washington
school furniture company, of Seattle,
Wash, and directors Of school district
number five, Chehalis county, Wash
ington.
The Washington School Furniture
Company does hereby agree to sell the
"A. ii. Andrews automatic school desk and
seats delivered, set up and screwed to the
moor In school house ready for use at the
following prices Nos. and 2, SAFE each !;
Nos. 3 and 4, $4.65 each; Nos. and 6,
$455 each; rears, all sizes, $4.25.
I'm consideration of the above agree
ment, the directors of said district agree
to buy of the Washington school furni-
ture company all desks and seats they
may require to use during the school
year OF 1892 and 1893 at the above prices
and pay for the same in cash, upon re-
ceipt OF goods, or deliver in Aberdeen,
Washington, as part payment, old school
desks, seats and rears now in use
in the public schools in Aberdeen, at
the rate Of two dollars each, any sizes
and numbers"
1t will be observed that the price of
chairs may rise or the price OF chairs may
fall, but the Washington school furniture
company can look serenely on with the
consciousness that it has the immortal
cinch on school district number five for
the school year 1929.
A contract is usually made for con-
sideration. The question naturally arises
What was the consideration paid school
district number five, Or any one, for the
exclusive right to sell it school furniture
for the year 1929 at an Interchangeable
price?
1t seems self-evident that if it had
merely been the desire of the board of
directors to take advantage of the then
market price of school furniture, at the
time the contract was made, the business
method would have been to bargain for
a certain number Of chairs or desks at
fixed price; not to endeavor TO tie school
district number five to the tail of school
furniture company for period of one
year.
However, the action OF the district in
this matter has been thorough y in keep
ing with its other actions.
