New Proposals Desired for Lumber

New Proposals Desired for Lumber
for Manila.
Seattle, Nov. Sail bids for the lum-
Der to be used in the construction Of
barracks at Manila for the United
States troops have been rejected by
order Of the quartermaster general
received by Maj. G. s. Bingham,
quartermaster United States army, yes
terday. While no reason was given for
this action it Is believed that the quar-
termaster general took this position
because the lumber to be supplied, in
accordance with the bids opened in this
city or October Is, was to have been
shipped from Columbia river ports.
Maj. Bingham has been instructed to
advertise for new proposals for the sup
ply of this lumber, which is to be either
Washington or Oregon fir, to be opened
in Seattle on November 10 at noon.
This lumber is to be delivered at Seat
tie, Tacoma or other Puget Sound ports
accessible to large ships; and bidders
are to be instructed to indicate in their
tenders where they propose to deliver
this lumber.
In the new call for bids the dimen.
sion lumber and the doors previously
asked for will not be included. The
specifications will, however, call for q
vast amount of lumber to be used for
bridging, fascia, siding, exterior finish,
porch railings, porch floors, main floors,
ceilings, outside entrance steps, pantry
finish, stairs, newels and rails and par
titions.
Time will be an important factor in
determining the awards of these con-
tracts. Bids are to be submitted on
the basis of the quantity of lumber to
be ready for delivery on December / |;
and the delivery must be completed by
January l, 1908.
On the same date, but at II O'Clock
q. M, Maj. Bingham will open bids for
the vessel to convey 5000, 900 feet of
lumber from Puget Sound to Manila.
This vessel must begin loading on Dec.
ember 20 and must continue loading at
the rate of 200, 900 feet day until the
cargo is completed.

Castro's answer to the proposal TO submit
the Venezuelan dispute to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal with certain reser-

"A settlement will be reached by arbitra-

The German Government is completely

until every question concerning arbitration
is settled.
The acceptance of arbitration after the
blockade was begun is certainly not re-

REPrRLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Springfield. Ill, Dec cs-President Tracy,
in his annual address at the opening session
of the State Teachers Association tonight,
attacked the school system of the State at
several points That the Kankakee super;n-
tendents views met with the approval of a
majority of his hearers was evidenced by
the demonstrations of approval that pune
tuated every line of thought advanced.
Mr.. Tracy called attention TO the ''uncer-
tainty in educational processes" and the
idea of some educators that they must be
jealous exponents of so-called fad" in
order to maintain a professional reputation.
He recommended that the teachers work
more along the lines OF uniformity, and that
the tendency to digress after ill-considered
innovations be discouraged.
The president recommended that some pro-
vision be made by local school boards in
cities to provide parental schools for the
truants and incorrigibles who are denied
the use of the public schools. The demands
for such school have been successfully
met in Chicago. It may be that the as
sociation will call upon the Legislature TO
make some provision for such schools.
NEED NATIONAL. CURRICULUM.
In speaking of a public school course of
study he called attention TO the need OF
national curriculum under the charge of a
secretary Of education. It could be so
Planned that everywhere there would be
