NO BIDS RECEIVED.
Contractors Apparently Not Anxious
to Construct the Nineteenth Dis
trict Sewer.

Bids for the construction of the big
Nineteenth district sewer were to have
been opened yesterday afternoon at 3
o'clock, but there were no bids to open
Director of Public Works Roche de-
cided to let the advertisements run for
one more week, bids to be opened next
Monday.
When asked to explain the reason for
the failure of sewer contractors to bid
he said:
ITS hard to tell just what the trouble
is, but I'm inclined to think that it is
the size of the bond required from the
contractor for the faithful perform
ance of the contract. There is pro-
vision in the ripper act which requires
the city to insist upon bond for half
the amount of the engineers estimate
of the cost of construction.
"The engineers estimate of the cost
of this sewer is slS0,0OO, SO that the
bond required is 100000. a very large
sum. We have been insisting on trust
company bonds, and in order to secure
such bond the contractor is required
to put up collateral security. which
some contractors anxious to bid might
find it hard to do.
Lie sewer CoHlTdctS let uIueT lnlS
act up to the present time have all
been small and the contractors have
had no difficulty in furnishing bonds.
am hopeful, however, that we will be
able to get bid. A Philadelphia con-
tractor was on here looking over the
ground last week. but was not able to
secure data in time to make bid"
Director Roche is especially desirous
of having the contract awarded soon,
because. he says. Il great deal of the
work can be done during the winter
months, particularly the Work of tun-
nelling, of which there will be consider
able.
a well-known sewer contractor said
last night to a Tribune man that he be-
'ieved there would have been bidders
had the engineers estimate been higher.
He expressed belief that instead of
SSO,O0O it should be $225OO0, because Of
the fact that the payment of only about
twenty per cent. of the contract price
is guaranteed by the city.

CAVALRY TROOP HAS
ARRIVED IN CAMP

The Sheridan troop, of Tyrone, Blair
county, arrived in Olyphant at o'clock
yesterday morning, and is now en-
cumped on the hillside overlooking the
Thirteenth's location,
The troop is composed of ffty-eight
men and five officers, and all but three
of the men are on hand. The call came
at o'clock Sunday afternoon, 1t was
necessary to send couriers sixteen miles
for some of the men. but despite this
fact, the troop with its horses was
ready to leave its armory at 8 o'clock,
and did leave at 10 o'clock. A car con-
tanning its tents and other camp equip
ment, from the state arsenal, was at
tached to the train at Sunbury.
Quartermaster Vandling, of the Thir-
teenth, had rations for the men, and
feed and bedding for the horses, all
ready when the troop arrived, and be-
sides, had partly laid out the camp site
for it. The troopers went at once at
the work of fixing up their camp and
before nightfall everything was in
ship-shape fashion.
The troop is commanded by Captain
C. S. w. Jones, who was captain OF
cavalry in the Civil war and major
in command of a squadron under Gen.
eral Miles in Porto Rico, during the
Spanish American war. The other Olfl-
GERS are: First Lieutenant l.. II. Craw-
ford, Second Lieutenant II. S. Fleck,
Assistant Surgeon j. l.. Brubaker,
Quartermaster r. a. Zeutmeyer.
The troop was organized IN 1871 and
is the second oldest cavalry organiza-
'tion in the state. 1t served In the 1877
strike, the Homestead strike in 1892,
the Jefferson county riots in 1894 and
the Spanish American war. More than
half the men now in the troop served
in the Porto Rico campaign. They are
sturdy-looking lot, mostly farmers
sons, and every one of them is an ex-
pert horseman.

Sabbath Observance.

The fact that not one prisoner APP
peared In police court yesterday morning,
led Magistrate Howe to remark ycster-
day that he has noticed since his ap-
pointmcnt that there has been less ar
rests OH Sunday than ever before In the
history of the city. The cause can be
attributed to the observance of the Sum
day closing law by licensed dealers gem
orally. They are cautious about selling
because OF fear of their licenses being
revoked.

A QUIET DAY.

1t was expected that yesterday would
see In these parts a repetition of the
disturbances which characterized the
two preceding Mondays and the days
Immediately following them, but these
expectations We're far from being reallz-
ed. Yesterday was quite as free from
disorder as any day of the strike.
The disorderly element among the
strikers have seemingly come to realize
the soldiers are out for business and as
every locality i'm which disorder has
been wont to occur is patrolled by
Colonel Watres' men, those who might
be inclined to continue the lawlessness
are held in check.
The fact that the presence of the
soldiers has not resulted in any appre-
ciable accessions to the ranks of the
workmen at the collierles has also had
a tendency to allay disorder. The COM

patches from teh anthracite coal re-

do not take kindly to the arbitration
plan proposed by the presidents of the

court and judge of the Second judicial
district.
Judge Baker said in part as fol-
lows:
This is an industrial age. The throb
OF the great heart of commerce has
filled every artery and vein of the
business world almost to congestion.
Never before has the medium of ex-
change been tapped to the very verge
of collapse by the volume of business.
It's beneficial effects are enjoyed in
our midst. We are proud to be citi-
zens of nation that has an industrial
development that so amply supports
its eighty millions of people. Nor are
we on the crescent of the wave, reach
ing as we are into the markets of the
world. We are destined to be the
head center of the commerce of all ma
tons.
Our people. their education. their
morality, their energy and their cour-
age make us the greatest nation that
ever existed.
Today we open our carnival, which
is a beautiful picture of the resources
and industries of our people. Our
carnival would be a credit to any state
in the Union. Surely the star of en-

The First Day.

The twenty-second annual territorial
fair opened in this city this morning,
and will continue till Saturday even,
ing.
The exhibition is the very best ever
held in the southwest.
The main hall is filled with choice
exhibits from nearly every county in
the territory.
The weather is perfect and the
grounds and race track is excellent.
The attendance already is far above
the first day of any previous territor-
ial fair, and the indications are that
there will be double the crowds of last
year.
In the line of races and amusements
every minute from now till the close
will be crowded with events. There
are more than twice as many good
horses on the grounds than at any pre-
vious fair in New Mexico.
The base ball players are the best
to be found in the United States and
the contest between the FL Paso and
Albuquerque league teams will be a
fight to a finish for the money.
The people of the city are doing ev-
erything in their power TO please and
entertain visitors, and all who are here
commend the arrangements made for
the entertainment of the big crowds of
visitors.
