THE STATE PRINTING.

The esteemed Belfast Journal says Ill
it's last issue that " the usual raid is be-
ing made on the State printing" raid
is hostile, predatory incursion. 1t Is
IN attempt to take away by force some
thing that belongs to another. Now
sometime ago committee of the legis-
Iature invited the printing establish
incnts of this State to send in proposals
fer doing the printing for the State for
tue ensuing two years. In response to
this advertisement several Portland
firms submitted bids, and now they tind
themselves accused in public prints
CT making "raid"on the State printing.
These gentlemen have made noFaid: they
have simply answered the requests Of the
legislature to submit proposals for doing
the public printing, they have done it
in an open and fair way, and it is little
short of indecent to post them as men
who are trying to carry off something
that belongs to another.
Now as to the bids. To whom
the contract for the work shall
be given is to be determined not by
a single consideration. but by number
OF considerations. Cheapness is not the
only criterion. One firm may bid lower
than another and yet there may be solid
reasons for giving the contract to the
higherj bidder of the two. Public con-
venience, or what is practically the same
thing, the convenience Of the public'F
representatives, is a consideration en-
titled to weight. Facilities for prompt
execution OF work are to be taken into
account also, for delay in the printing
might retard Legislative work
and all advantage to the State OF
the lower price be more than offset by
the extension of the legislative session.
These and other things are to be
considered by the committees that have
the bids before them in determining
what they shall recommend. The mere
fact that q committee does not accept
the lowest bid is not proof of favoritism
or injustice. Other considerations proper
and important to be taken into account
may more than offset the difference
in price. The duty OF the legislature is to
accept that bid which, all things consid-
cred is best for the interest Of the State.

1t is urged that it is practically i'm
possible to have this printing done out
side of the city of Augusta. 1t is SAID
that if during the sessions of the legls-
lation, bills and resolves had to be sent
to distant cities to be printed, delay
would inevitably result and the progress
of legislation would be retarded. There
is force, no doubt, in this argument. 1t
may be SO forcibIe as to justify the
claim that it is practically impossible TO
do the printing outside OF the capital
city. Some of the State officers, whose
opinion is valuable, take this ground,
and so do some of the members OF the
committee, it is reported. 1t would
seem to be feasible to determine beyond
any reasonable doubt whether this ls so
or not. II it be SO, then it is useless
indeed it is uniust-uo invite persons
from all parts of the State TO go to Augusta
and submit proposals. If the printing can
be done outside of Augusta, why not say
so and stop the nonsense OF advertising
for proposals. Naturally enough men
feel somewhat 1ndik nant when they are
told, after submitting their proposals,
that the business is of such character
that it cannot be done outside of Au-
gusta. And they naturally inquire why
this farce of inviting them down to Au-
gusta year after year to submit propos-
ais is kept up, if the printing cannot be
done outside of that city.
We have no intention of discussing the
proposals that have been submitted to
the committee, for the reason, among
Others, that we are not conversant with
them. They all come from reputable
and capable establishments, that are
able to fight their own battles. We SIM
ply desire to enter a protest against the
stigmatlzing of any of the bidders as
"raiders," and to condemn the practice
Of advertising for proposals At all ii
there are serious practical difficulties in
doing the printing outside of Augusta.

NAVAL DECISION.

Washington, July 3.-Secretary Herbert
has acted on the findings of the court
martial held at The Mare Island Navy
Yards in the cases OF Lieut.. w. w. Bu-
chanan, division officer and Lieut.. ]. D..
Dorm, ordinance officer Of the Olympia,
tired for negligence resulting in the acci-
dent to gun, causing the death of Gum
Eer Johnson. Secretary Herbert approv-
ed the acquittal of Buchanan, but in the
case of Dorm disapproved the findings of
the court-martial, which acquitted him.
In refusing to approve the findings of
the court in the case of Lieut.. Dorm, Sec
retary Herbert read quite "a lecture to
the naval officers. The accident was
caused by the failure of some one TO
fill the recoil cylinder with the liquid.
A daily inspection of the recoll cylinder
Us required, though no particular person
is designated to make the inspection.
The secretary says; 'It cannot be that
on new ship SO plain a regulation can
be violated and no one to blame. The de-
partment cannot approve the decision
which seams to hold that in case like
this the ordnance officer is not responsi-
BILE, simply because the regulations do
not declare 1t in so many words, The
officer exercised control over, and super
intendence of, all who are beneath him.
If duties are required to be performed
in his department Of the ship 1t is his
duty to perform. or to see that 1t is
done"

plies, are putting on increased forces and

A TERRIFIC CLOUD BURST

Omaha, July S.-Fiye badly frightened
individuals occupying murderers' cells al
the police station, a residence resem.
bling in many respects slaughter house
and the unaccountable absence of John
Seljan are the features of peculiarly
mysterious tragedy, which is engaging all
Of the Omaha police and detectives to-
night. Seljan is the supposed victim, and
Mr.. and Mrs Mote Alikan, Anton Ruck-
ovitz, John Uban and John Drubnitz urs
the prisoners. Robbery is the presumed
object of the crime, but the feature most
confusing to the police. is the unexplained
absence of the corpse.
The boarding house lat 1906 Pierce st.
is the scene Of the crime. A hasty exam
iration of the bedroom, in which the
man is supposed to have been murdered,
shows unmistakable evidence of bloody
conflict. A great pool Of blood was To-
Gated near the head Of the bed and the
bed clothes were saturated in several
places with blood. Bloody footprints
were found on the bed, quilt and pillow
A razor, pocket knife and crowbar were
found in the bedroom, which, from ap-
pearances, were used las weapons in the
struggle. Several of the persons had
blood on their clothes. All those con-
cerned are Poles.
Monday the missing man received $1,000
from the old country, To obtain this.
the crime was committed. Two trunks
were taken from the, house during the
night and sent to st. Louis. The police
are investigating this clue and think the
body has been cat up and placed in the
trunks.

COLLEGE SPORTS.


London, July 3.-At the conclusion OF
the Universities tests today. w. ]. Oak
ley president of the Oxford Athletic
Club, said to a reporter of the Associat-
ed Press:
''Well, the question of Yale's challenge
row rests with Cambridge, as oxford
has been defeated"
Subsequently representatives Of Oxford
and Cambridge met and considered Yale's
proposals. At the close Of the meeting
the following statement was issued;
''The committee decides that as Harvard
refused to agree to their part of the orig
inal proposal, 1t would not be desirable
for Oxford and Cambridge to meet Yale
single-handed, which reasoh the commit
tee regrets in view of the sportsmanlike
proposal Of Yale. Any other American
combine seems under the circumstances
to be impossible. 1t now only remains
for Oambridge, as winner Of today's con-
tests, to decide whether she can consider
Yale's challenge. This they propose to
do Immediately and are to communicate
their decision at the earliest date. Yale's
proposed date is too late for the Cam
bridge October term"

Hammond Arranges for the
Seaside Road.
RATES TO BE MADE REASONABLE
Flavel Land Company Subsidy Ar
ranged and Nothing in the Way
Of the Progress of Work.

1t IS understood that Mr.. Hammond hal
secured an option on the South Coast rail-
way, running from Young's Bay to Clat.
sop beach points; that he is negotiating
with and arranging for some coaches be.
longing to the 0. R. and N. and equlpplne
the line in first-class condition for the
seaside business. His intention is to use
an Oregon Pacific engine, and with the
new equipment he will receive from the
o. r. and N. Co. the patrons Of the
South Coast can congratulate themselves
upon securing better facilities to reach
South Coast points than have be=n In ef-
feet for a number Of years.
Upon inquiry 1t was found that the rate
which will be adopted by the different
companies win probably be on d basis of
about ss to Young's bay, and $3.50 to
beach points, and that similar rate
will apply te North beach.
Arrangements have not vet been per-
fected for ticketing through ON account
of Mr.. Hammond's delay in securing an
option on the South Coast road, but 1t has
been the idea of the lines interested to
make the rates the same to both nwaco
beach and Clatsop beach points.
The establishment of the sIde-wheel
steamer North Pacific, between Astoria
and Ilwaco. will furnish superior service
to that heretofore in effect. Arrange
ments have been completed by which a
license is secured for the steamer which
allows her to carry $50 passengers The
service heretofore has only been that Of
the steamer nwaeo,. which is very
smaib iiEhtzcraft, and accorded the pa
irons inadequate facilities for comfort.
From present appearances. 1t would look
as though the patrons OF both beaches
this season would secure O better class
of accommodations than they have here
tofore enjoyed, and the result will be
beneficial, as many will take advantage
of the low rates and increased facilities
which are offered-o
From the latest ndvlces received by
those who are posted It is thought that
the deal for the Seaside road was con-
summated yesterday by Mr. Hammond
and that he will be here the last Of the
week to commence operations. 1t is also
understood that the Flavei Land Com
pany matter has been arranged to his
entire satisfaction so that there can be
no delay on either side OF the bay.
