SAYS COUNTRY
IS PROSPEROUS
American Consul at Mama
qua Ayers Loss of Canal
Will Not Hurt Nicaragua
FOREIGN CASH INVESTED
United States Commercial
Agency at Bluefields May
Be Transferred to Capital

Chester Donaldson. United States
Consul at Managua. has been a guest
at the Occidental Hotel for two days.
He is enjoying leave of absence from
his southern post. Regarding the con-
ditions in Nicaragu Consul Donaldson
says the Central American republic has
never before enjoyed the prosperity she
is now experiencing. Peace has appar-
emily been permanently established
throughout the republic, and this fact
has given encouragement to foreigners
to invest much capital in industrial
projects there.
1t is the opinion of the Consul that
the building of the canal through Pan
anna instead of through Nicaragua,
while a great disappointment to the
people of the latter country, will not
greatly affect Nicara qua, whose citizens
have turned their attention to the de-
velopment of their own territory and
are rapidly forgetting that they ever
hoped for canal. In view of the fact
that the canal route through Nicaragua
has been abandoned, Consul Donaldson
thinks that the United States will soon
make a number of changes in its con-
sular service in that country.
Several years ago, when it was hoped
by this Government that Nicaragua
might have the canal, the authorities at
Washington established a consulate at
Bluefields and placed in it's charge the
entire consular business on the Allan
tic side of the republic. Donaldson was
then put in charge of the business orig
mating on the Pacific side. 1t is now
expected that in the near future the
United States Government entire
Nicaraguan consular service will be SUI
pervised from the capital of the coun-
try. At present the United States Min
lister accredited to Nicaragua has his
headquarters at San Jose, Costa Rica.
Consul Donaldson has been a resident
of Nicaragua for nine years and has
held his present position for five.

SANTA FE GETS
THE CONTRACT
Harbor Commission Awards
the Job of Constructing
China Basin Ferry Slip
NEW PERMIT is ISSUED
Produce Firm Withdraws
From Association and May
Do Business on Wharves

The Board of Harbor Commissioners
Yesterday opened bids for the construc-
tion of a car ferry slip in China Basin.
The Santa Fe Railway Company was
the only bidder and won the contract.
The corporation offers to construct the
slip for 1000 and take lease on the
property for seventy-two months. At
the expiration of this time the property
will revert to the State. A. suitable
bond accompanied the bid, which was
accepted without opposition.
President Spear called attention to
the fact that the work on the new stair
way in the ferry building is not accord
ing to specifications. The imitation
Tennessee marble being used is thicker
than called for in the plans and is also
off color Spear said the contractor had
told him that in the course of years
the imitation marble would fade to the
desired color and it was impossible to
make it any thinner. He offered to
give UP the contract for bonus Of $500.
This offer was not accepted and the
matter was turned over TO the board s
engineer for investigation.
Giovanetti & Son, commission mer-
chants asked that the permit to do
business on the State wharves, which
was revoked last week. be renewed. In
their communication the firm says that
il has withdrawn from the Produce
Dealers Association and is willing to
abide by the spirit and letter of the
woodward act and the regulations of
the Harbor Commissioners. A new
permit was, by motion of Commissioner
Kirkpatrick, granted the firm.
Attention was called by President
Spear to the injunction issued by Judge
Kerrigan on application of Webster &
Dunbar. @. B. Olcese, Jonas Erlanger-
Davis Company and Schultz, Hansen &
Co. temporarily restraining the board
from interfering with the business OF
these firms on the wharves. The mat
ter was referred to the attorney for the
board without comment.
A communication from the Southern
Pacific Company asking that the board
arrange for the dredging Of Channel
street to a depth of twenty feet from
Fourth street to deep water in the bay
was referred to the chief engineer.
The board adjourned until nex1

The Supervisors Street Committee

the machines cost $1,000, but the
board was investigating the suction

other methods of street sweeping and
the machines may be dispensed with.
