LET CONTRACT
PORTAGE ROAD
Monday Is the Day Set By
| Association.
PROBABLY 50 TO n'cABE COMPANY
Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany Gives Deeds for the
Right-of-Wa
PROBABLY 60 TO n'eAse COMPANY

The contract for the portage road
will be let by Monday at the latest,
and work will commence on it in a
short time as is possible for the con-
tractor to assemble his forces and ma
terial for the task, says the Oregon
ian.
The deeds have been secured from
the o. r. & N. company for the right
of way and sent to the governor of
Oregon for his approval and the con-
currence of the other members of the
portage road commission.
There is good deal of curiosity as
to who the contractor will be. At the
meeting of last Saturday it was stated
that a contractor acceptable both to
the commission and the open river as
socitaion had been found. Who this
was is not stated, but rumor has it
that the McCabe Contracting COM
pany, of Walla Walla, will be the
LUCKY llIIll 10 carry Oll LIE plum. "A u
McCabe, one of the members of that
firm, is now in Portland and has been
there for several days. 1t is reported
that he has satisfied the board and
the association that his firm is able tC
carry out the work quickly, cheaply
and well. The firm has done a great
deal of work similar to the kind nee
essary in the construction of the port
age road, and if the contract is given
to it, will be able to do the work ac-
ceptably to both parties concerned in
it's construction.
1t is thought that the middle of De-
cember will see the construction work
in full swing.

The prospects are that lovers Of
basket ball will see lots of good play
ing this winter. Strong efforts are be-
ing made to arrange a series of games
in three cornered league consisting
of Whitman college, Walla Walla High
school and an independent team. Both
of the schools have fine prospects for
fast teams and there are several first
class men in town which will make the
Independents strong. Armory hall will
probably be the scene of the contests,
