Bidders Had No Chance.

The Supreme Court has reversed the Judgment of the Superior Court of Ala neda County in the case of the California Improvement Company against George D.. Reynolds and wife. The action was brought to recover a sum claimed to be due for street assessment. In the lower court the company won its suit. The higher court bases its revisal upon the questionable power given to the Street Superintendent. Reynolds set up the plea that there was not conspicuous notice given to the advertising of the con tract. but this was passed by the court as not of sufficient strength to warrant a revlsal. The contract specified the size of the rock to be used in the work and permitted "a smaller percentage of fine material consequent t, upon the crushing of Under this specification the superintend- ent was at liberty after the contract had been entered into, to determine or vary the amount of fine material to be used and it was therefore impossible for bids ders to determine in advance the cost of dcing the work and competition in biG- ding was therefore restricted.

Weather Forecaster Hammon, who is at Mount TamaIpais station, telephoned down from there last night at 6 o'clock that the conditions were favorable for clear weather for Wednesday. The storm which had it's center off the Washington coast had reached the Salinas Valley and that arid region was visited with well come downpour There was also a trace at San Luis Obispo. To-day 1t will be partly cloudy in the southeast portion of Northern California, but the storm has about spent its force.
 Rain has fallen almost everywhere north of the Tehachapi. except near the summit, where 1t showed The storm came very near leaving Monday evening, but it returned and gave an additional .32 of an inch in this city, making total of 1 inch for the last rainfall. The re- turn of the storm was made easy by the driving away of the high pressure on the plateau region between the Rockies and the Sierras Conditions are better than ever now for if a storm should make it's appearance it would come in without the hindrance of the high pressure.
 The rain has benefited pasturage and enough fell in the Sacramento Valley to start blowing. Much good to newly sown grain will also result and the ground has been considerably moistened by the down. pour.

After a pleasant half hour spent in conver- sation and exchanging the compliments of the season the hymn, 70 God Beneath Thy Guiding Hand,' was sung, and the company then adjourned to the banquet hall where the dinner was served. The sumptuous repast was heartily enjoyed for over an hour. At the conclusion of the dinner the business of the evening
 The topic of discussion was "The Puritan Spirit in it's Application to our National Policy" R. H. Chamberlain, the president of the club, presided. The first speaker of the evening was Professor T. s. Bacon of the University of Cali fornia. He was to have been followed by the Rev. HOratio Stebbins, D.

 Election.
OFFICIAL CANVASS FINISHED
A GENEROUS BUNCH OF CON-
 TESTS PROMISED.

The official count of the municipal vote at the last election was finished yester- day. and although it has not yet been announced, the figures are ready for pub Ecat ation
 The most startling change made in the hgures- turned in with the semi official returns is in the vote for John A. Brown. Democratic candidate for County Clerk Mir. Brown lost just 954 votes by the can- vass of the Commissioners. and there is no one to explain how so large a mistake was ever made. Michael Meagher. the democratic candidate, who was defeated for the Recorders desk by 4. c. Berthier. gained IlS votes, and ' Il contest the seating of his opponent.
 The haf-dozen disappointed ones who are intending to file contests discovered yesterday that the forty days which the law gives them to begin action will expire on either Friday or Saturday. which day IS Just at present question among the lawyers, and that it was the intention of the Commissioners not to announce the result of the official canvass until Thurs day afternoon. As it will take them three days to prepare the papers necessary to their actions, they saw plainly that the legal limit would expire before they were ready and their chance of getting into office through the courts would be lost They besieged Mayor Phelan's office, and hnaIly prevailed upon him to arrange for a meeting of the commission to-day when the vote will be officially announced and the lucky ones declared elected The count Of the vete on unexpired terms has been put off until next Tuesday, and the shorteuders have entered d vigorous kick against being thus bunkoed out of their offices
 Five coutests on the municipal ticket are already promised.

WATSON HAS LEFT TOWN.
Disappears and His Creditors Know
 Not His Whereabouts.

Willard s. Watson has left the city and there are said to be certain people who as a consequence are trying to figure out how much they are out of pocket. He left the Palace on Sunday, but failed to leave any intimation of his future whereabouts. It is said that he is in the State, and those who know him best uo not credit the theory that he has made away with himself, for the reason that they have confidence in Watson and ex- peet that he will return and make good all that he owes Watson is well known here and in New York. He first came to California about nine years ago, accom- panied by his valet and secretary He al- ways made 1t a rule to spend several weeks al all of the prominent resorts, and he made lavish use of his money On one of his visits to Monterey he bought some fine trotting horses, which he took back to New York with him.
 Watson Is 2 years of age, and has a brother George in New York, who is member of Watson & Co.,, in Mas sau street The two brothers were left grandmother, and Willard did the spend ing act. Two years ago he went to Eu- rope, accompanied by woman from New York. The two led gay life in the va rious capitals on the Continent. and when they returned Willard's family, to check his wild career, took charge of his af fairs; When he came out here this sea son he seemed to be more stinted in the use of his money. He lost all of nls personal effects in the Baldwin fire and a large sum of money. In the replacing of his wardrobe he made a number of bills and to tide over his pressing needs he is said to have borrowed from his friends who knew him in his palmy days It is presumed that his obligations became warm, and that he skipped out until such a time as he can get his affairs in shape to make good what he owes. He left no bill at the Palace, and his effects were in such a state that 1t was expected that he would return.
 A friend of Watson's says his brother in New York will meet all of his obliga- tions, even If Watson does not. He be- lieNes that he is still in the State

Let The Tax Laws Alone.

The North Dakota Tax League seems
to be a superauous organization. What
is needed more than anything else just
now is a determination to let the tax laws
alone and give state and county officials
a chance to familiarize themselves with
their practical workings. Every term of
the legislature brings forth a radical
change of the revenue laws. Then the
courts and the lawyers have a whack at
them and by the time they get through a
new legislature is generally ready to
commence at the beginning and enact a
new tax law. Give the laws a rest for a
while.-Inter Ocean.
