BIDS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT
Government Calls for Enormous Supply
to Be Used on Pier Entrances,


DULUTH NIINN.--The United States
engineers office is preparing advertise
ments calling for bids for, the sale to the
government of $1,000 barrels of Portland
cement. This is by far the largest order
for cement ever made in this country. 1t
is five times the size of any bid asked for
in this district in the past, and the gov
eminent concrete work here exceeds in
size any that it has carried on with few
exceptions.
This bid is for half the cement used in
the construction Of pier entrances to the
south channel to the Duluth Superior har-
Dor, and will probably complete one Of
the piers. Two years time will be con-
sumed in this pier work, and the CORE
spending pier will take a third year. max
ing it 1906 before the work is ready for
commerce.
The cost of these two piers is put at
more than s1.OOO,O0O, and it Is probable
that the entire work will be carried
through without the Intervention or con-
tractors, direct by the government engl-
neer
This week sees the practical completion
Of a government contract here that has
been under way since the early spring Of
1897. Strange to say. the work closes
on time the date set in 1897 having
been November. 1902. 1t has been a
dredging contract for the removal from
the Duluth Superior harbor of 21.500,000
cubic wards Of material, and the deepen
ing of the harbor channels to twenty-one
feet Of water. 1t has cost more than
$4,000. 0C0.
The saving effect by giving this entire
contract at one time, and not letting
1t piecemeal year by year, as is the gov
ernments usual custom, was SO per cent
of the estimates. or S1.000000, This money
has been used to improve further the har-
bors. There are now twenty miles of
twenty -one-foot channels in this harbor,
but commerce will soon demand further
extension of the work

A Joke played On The Hounds
Was A FiowIing Success.

Col. ]. p. CHM played a joke on
4 bis ox.houhds the other day that
scared them so badly thar they took
to the cliffs and some of them have
not returned. Some weeks ago the
Colonel was at the Waldorf-Asioria,
in New York, With a crowd when
one of them, a gentleman from Vir-
ginia, told the others that if they
wanted 10 see some fun TO catch
dog, put false face on him and
turn him loose among other CANNES.
Before leaving the metropolis the
Colonel bought tina ugliest falseface
he could find. Two or three days
after reaching HON he took "Old
Bill, his favorite dog, into the hall
and fitted the mask on him so that
he could see and breathe. and let
him go. "Bnl," seeming to divine
the part he was to play, walked
around the corner of the house
where the Is or 20 other dogs we're
lying. In twinkling every one of
them was on his feet bowling, and
as "Bill" continued to advance they
scattered aud made for the brush,
as If their lives depended on their
speed. "Bil, evidently thinking
they had struck a trail, and want
ing to be in the chase, tried to keep
up with them but was left far be-
hind. Late that evening the fright
ened dogs began to sneak back
with a scared look, as if they were
from sheep-killing ex-
pedition, aud some have not yet
showed up, and the Colonel is
of offering reward for
their recovery. The Colonel loves
his dogs and will not trick them
again, for since their scare they |
seem restless and uneasy and sleep
with one eye open to prevent sur
prise should the cause of their fright
appear a second time. Wouldn't
it be a good plan to fasten false
faces on three or four ours and turn
them loose in this city. 1t strikes
Us that IT would work better than
the dog law. Or how would it do
to buckle mask on the rams of
each flock OF sheep?-Harrodsburg

employ of F. M. Quarles for nearly

running almost parallel with the

Its objective points to reach the
