New stationery Bids Asked.

Bids have been readvertised for the requ!-
sitions for the official stationery for the
year of 1906 II is not known whether all
the former bidders will resubmit bids in the
matter. There has been considerable change
in the last requstion. The fact that GER
tain bidders offered to furnish certain
books, which are as usual purchased for
about $l5 at the surprisingly low price of ",
and other bids quite as unusual. has appar-
entity opened the eyes Of the parties having
the acquisitions in charge. In one instance
ct least. that of the tail record, enough
were found on hand to last four years So
the bidders who knew of this fact were able
to bid 81 knowing well enough that they
would never he called upon to furnish a iail
record The same was true Of the other
low bids. II is stated as a positive fact
that there was only one bid before the
council that was hid on the actual business
proposition of furnishing all the articles
named, and that was the highest bid Of all.
The total OF this bid was above 500. The
lowest bid was S2l6 or thereabout. Since
the rejection of all the bids it is believed
that the requisition will be restricted to the
actual purchases required for the year Il
il n well known fact that although the bid
for last year was low enough to represent a
loss to the contractor the city paid out for
the emergency printing at a rate which
brought the total up 10 $500. The bid for
the 1905 requisition was little over $500 It
is believed that whereas the contractor may
have lost ON last years bid he recovered it
and more by the higher rate asked for tn
emergency printing. On this there was
nothing To say what he should charge. II
is said that members in authority are look
ing for remedy for this condition.

fAh INJUNCTION

Al matter ef jurisdiction Of the SUI
per1nr cot 1NSf Spokane county in the
divpr0e ac,Ion brought by Mary p.
Sellers against A. F.. Sellers is on to-
day Before Judge Huneke. Papers
flea II the case indicate that trouble
has-been brewing and eliminating be-
twesn the Sellers since the summer Of
1908. The matter came up on q mo-
ton tor alimony subsequent to entry
of an order of restraint secured
against the defendant.
To this return the defendant OBJ
jects, on the ground that Spokane
county has no jurisdiction, because
the wife is alleged to be resident of
Idaho, while the husband claims his
residence in Yakima county, where he
has a contract and lease of govern
mefit lands on the Yakima Indian res
ervatien. He further objects on the
ground that no emergency existed for
the entry of the restraining order
without service of notice of the ap-
plication for the same upon him.
In, an affidavit, prepared but not
filed at the time Of the hearing, the
defARAant states that the plaintiff
left his home near Prosser in 1908
against his wishes and without his
consent. He further maintains that
he supported his infant daughter near
Prosser until on the 18th of last
month, when she was surreptitiously
removed from his home at the in
stance of the plaintiff and taken to
parts unknown to the father.
