cess of degrees at San Luis Obispo,
while normal temperatures prevailed
at Sacramento, San Francisco and San
Diego. Red Bluff was the only place
reporting deficiency of temperature,

Glaoney and others, was taken up
The length Of the proposed road is about
one mile
There was some discussion between
residents of the neighborhood, several
OF whom were present, over the adyan-
tages or necessity of the road. Mrs. Nc
B1de, over whose land the proposed
read is to run, had put in a claim fo1

allowed her $3.50.
Edward Graham thought the county,
could Well afford to make the matter an.
tifeiy harmonious by allowing Mrs. Nc.

nsended by the viewers, as the road
would cut her property in two and She

WRESTLING WITH TIE BIDS.
Supervisors Bothered Again Over Sta.
uonery Contracts.
Tho Gladney Road to be Opened Near
Antelope Condition Of the
County Treasury.

The Board of Supervisors again
wrestled yesterday, for the third or
fourth time with bids for stationery for
the county offices, and as usual ran up
against so many snags that it seemed to
be impossible to do anything with them.
They were, however, referred to the
Committee on Contracts to see if any
thing could be done with them.
The specifications called for bids on
the best qualities of the articles re-
quired, but 1t appeared that some Of the
bids submitted by Whitaker & Ray of
Gait were on articles which other bid
ders claimed were Of inferior grade.
Crocker & Co. and w. F. Purnell OBJ
jected to the board considering bids on
these alleged low-grade articles, be-
cause. theirs were for the best. They
said they could bid low on the inferior
grades, but were aware that this class
OF goods was not wanted.
Chairman Morrison remarked that the
board was encountering the same diff
culties it had experienced before when
attempting to get bids on stationery,
etc. The Grand Jury ought to be re-
quested to try and straighten the thing
out, as they knew so much about it.
For his part, it seemed impossible for
anyone but an expert in stationery to
be able to do anything with such bids
In many respects the county would be
paying higher prices than when these
goods were not bought by contract.
supervisor Todd thought that possi-
bly, the committee might be able to do
something with the bids, and the latter
We're turned over to the COMMITTEES, to
report on the same this morning
Mr. Purnell declared that Whitaker &
Ray were not entitled to bid, anyhow,
as they did not carry in this county the
goods on which they were bidding
Mr.. Graham, the representative of the
Gait company, contended that the lat
ter carried as good stock as the houses
In this city. He did not have the speci-
ned list before him when preparing his
DID, wherefore it did not conform in all
respects to the list.
Ihe Supervisors seemed to feel as if
they were between the devil and the
deep sea-" If they make a bad bargain
they are liable to be accused by Grand
Jur1es of not attending to business
properly, and if they refuse the lowest
olds for articles they will catch it just
the same. They are becoming accus-
toned to the thing, however, and say
they Will do what they think best, no
matter what happens
