MORECONTRACTS[ET
Last of Court House Contracts
Let by Board.
THE BRIDGE CONTRACT ALSO.
Price Lower Than Anticipated and the
Board is Very Much Pleased at the
Outcome.

Last week the board finished the work
of letting the court house contracts,
covering the additional $4,000 voted
by the people at the last election.
In the competition for furnishing
electric light fixtures. only two bids
were entered, as follows:
Gas and Electric Fixtures Mfg 90. 500, 90
NEBRASKA Electric Fixtures Co.
Omaha. ........ $50. 1000 90
The contract was let to the Chicago
concern.
AS to the furnishing of the building
there seems to have been much con-
fusion. Both the metal and the wood
furnishings were let. The board de.
cided that some of the specifications
for hand carving etc. were too expen-
sive and the specifications were chang
ed making John Fastje the winner on
wood work and the Art Metal Co. OF
jamestown. N. Z. the winners on the
steel fixtures. The following were the
bids.

THE BRIDGE CONTRACT.

Considerable interest was aroused by
the awarding of the bridge contract for
the next two years. Six firms entered
the competition and the range of prices
was large. Below are the bids fo- new
construction work per lineal foot:
W. NJ. Dana, Harlan. ss...........s5 20
Canton Bridge Co, Omaha. ......s..... Is 4
VIM. g. Aewett Co Minneapolis. -. 6s
Standard Bridge Co, Omaha..........., 80

John w. Towle, Omaha. 2o
The contract ,was awarded John w.
Towle and his certified check was cash
ed and the money will be held until
such time as the required bond shall
be forthcoming. AS will be seen by
the comparison of the bids the price is
eth err very low or the others were very
high and there is some doubt as to
whether the contract will be fulfilled.
If not ANEW letting would be in order
as was done in the case of the court
house.
Mr.. E. M. Parker, who has had
charge of the bridge building for the
past three years, has shown himself te
be good bridge builder, straight

wherever his future work may cal

BEEN TALKING TEXAS
Canadian Land Agents Can Not Get
0hioans' Attention When Texas
Is on the Program.

Canada and Texas are the two
great empires of the Northwest
ern hemisphere to which the at
tention of the homeseekers of the
world are being drawn. Canada
has it's advantages like every
other place but in the opinion of
the homeseekers of Ohio and
Wisconsin Texas is the garden
spot of the world. "Winter ID
coming on and those people are

Accommodations Scarce.

The scarcity of accommodations
in the city and the need of adj
ditional hotel facilities we're en-
phasized last Monday night when
several people, among them some
ladies, had to sit up all night be-
cause they could not get rooms.
If ever town OH earth needed
more hotels it is San Angelo and
why some one with capital does
not erect fine hostelry is hard to
understand. 1t could be done by
a stock company and leased to a
practical hotel man at good
price, insuring good money to the
lessee and a fair rate of interest to
the owners.

GAS LIGHT IS GOOD.
New Lights Are Bright and Work
On Laying Mains Has Been
Begun.

When the gas proposition was
FIRST mentioned there we're a good
many scoffers. When there was a
delay in getting things going there
we're lot of I-told-you-so's 8.
Now all this is changed. The
San Angelo Gas Company is de-
livering the goods. A bright
light Is burning each night at the
front of the laundry building and
gas now lights the inside of this
institution. Mains are being laid
on Chadbourne street. The pipes
are 6 inches in diameter and the
lateral mains will be of 4 inch
pipe. Machinery is being put in
at the Gas Company's building
for the generation of the gas.
Everything in this line looks to
be progressing nicely and gas for
heating and for lighting is now
assured. San Angelo is progress.

San Angelo Cotton Prices.

Mr.. o. 4. Tyler, the new cotton
buyer who came here from Bolton,
states that all last week and the
three days of this week San
Angelo cotton buyers have been
paying more for cotton than has
been paid in any town on the
Santa Fe branch. Mr.. Tyler is
very enthusiastic over the out
look for San Angelo as a cotton
market and says that if the pres
ent method of paying the most
for cotton will continue San
Angelo will buy three times as
much of the fleecy staple as last
year. Last week when other
towns were paying 9,75 for cotton
San Angelo was paying 8 S74 to
9.95. Tuesdays market was off
a little and one buyer paid as
much as 9.S5 that day. The farm
ers of the country north and east
of this city are coming to San An
cello with their cotton and are
finding u first-class market here.
They seem TO be satisfied, and
many are buying nice bills of mer-
chandise after their cotton has
been disposed of. San Angelo
merchants are progressive, and
the present inclination among
them is not to let any town pay
more for cotton, and they are
finding that it pays.
A record of yesterdays cotton
prices appears in another column.

ANGELO HEIGHTS SALE
A Very Satisfactory and Successful
Sale was Pulled OFF
Tuesday.

The sale of property in "Angelo
Heights" as advertised in last
weeks Press was pulled off Tues
day morning in manner very
satisfactory to the promoters and
pronounced very successful by
them. All morning the "lleights"
were filled with people looking for
the choice blocks as only blocks
were to be sold on that occasion.
Several deals were made and Mr..
Mitchell of the firm of the Lane
Mitchell Company, said to a
Press representative Yesterday
morning that list of the sales
could not be furnished complete.
He could give out list but some
of the buyers had requested that
their trades be not given out for
publication at this time. There
fore any list which he might give
out would be incomplete. AS an
incomplete list would not be a
good news item The Press re-
Trains from publishing any.
The sale of blocks continued
yesterday and will yet continue
for several days as the people are
very much interested in the pro-
perty. They are taking their
time in making their selections
and it will require several days
yet to complete the deals now in
course Of contamination.

WILL ORGANIZE ON
OCTOBER THIRTEENTH
san Angelo Elks viii Have Their
Lodge Instituted on October
18th, zoos.

The date for the institution of
the local lodge Benevolent and
Protective Order of Elks has at
last been definitely decided upon.
1t was no fault of the local and
prospective members of this order
that this was not done sooner
Those who will constitute the new
lodge decided long ago upon u
date but this did not suit the
lodge which was to come here to
institute the new one so the mat
ter of fixing the date was held up
by the Representative OF the
Grand Lodge.
1t is now officially announced
that the new lodge will be form
ally organized on Friday, Octo-
Der 18th. There will be two days
of the merriment but Saturday
will be occupied in showing the
visitors good time. The pro-
gram az now outlined is as fol-
lows:
FRIDAY.
1000 n. m, arrival of train
and reception of visitors.
Afternoon and night; initia-
ton of candidates and organiza-
tion of lodge.
12:OO p. M, stag lunch.
SATURDAY.
Noon, barbecue for Elks and
ladies.
400 p. m, Ladies' reception.
800 p m: speaking, banquet,
grand ball.
The lodge will be instituted by
the FIT. Worth lodge and the Wis
itors will leave for their homes
Sunday morning.
There will be about $50 visitors
in the city on this occasion. A
special train will follow No. l5's
connection out of Dallas, will
pick up the FIT. Worth car at
Cleburne, and perhaps a car Of
SIt'ull lt lSlh5S ulDJItl Nv ItUl-
pie where the crowd will be aug
mented by a large number of
South Texas Elks and another
car at Brentwood. The special
IS expected TO arrive in San An
gelo about 1000 u. m, Friday.
Those who have the entertain
ment of the visitors in charge
propose that everything shall be
typically Western. They do not
hope to be able to put up as
swell an entertainment as an
older and larger lodge could put
up but will try to make every
feature little different from the
regular order Of such things. The
affair is expected to be very en-
joyable one and one of much
value to the city.

The other day President Roose-
velt's automobile was stopped by
policemen for exceeding the speed
limit and they were about to arrest
the chauffeur when they discovered
the identity of the owner, upon which
discovery they withdrew and allowed
the party to proceed. Now, with all
due respect to Teddy and his siren
uous ways is there any warrant in
justice or common sense for winking
at an infraction of the law, simply be-
cause the president is the law breaker
What is just and proper law to gov
ern your conduct or mine is equally
good for the president and an offense
which would cause arrest and fine if
we were the offenders should not be
winked at because of the position of
the party offending. President Roose.

LIGHTNING RODS.

There seems to be renewed interest
shown in the subject of lightning rod
and an exchange asks, els the light
ming rod coming back with the hoop
skirt? Middle aged men can remem-
Der when nearly every farm house and
village residence bristled with light
ming rods. Then the word went
about that these devices afforded no
protection from lightning if they
did not attract it dangerously. Farm
ers set the dogs on lightning rod
agents, some of the wires were torn
down and others left to rust out. It
is a great many years since there has
been the least profit in the lightning
rod business.
Now science, which condemned the
lightning rod, is eating it's words and
beginning to recommend it. Science
hedges It's opinion by pointing out that
there are good lightning rods and bad.
That is. wire may be put up in such
q way as to contribute to the destruc-
tion of house instead of its salvation.
Moreover there are two kinds of light

The above letter from Bro. Michael
shows the trend of opinion among the
clay members of the republican
party, and that he should send it to
old time democrats and seek their aid
is not at all surprising, for it is to the
democratic party they must appeal for
help to shake off the yoke of bossism
and give the masses freedom of polit-
ical action. Yes, Bro. Michael, we
are willing to help you, and will help
you, if you come into the democratic
fold where political honesty and man
hood predominant. Leave the ranks
of tariff standpatters, and timber land
thieves, and join the democratic
forces of progress and reform, and
you'll be rid of your political masters
and bosses. Don't ask democrats to
wade into the cesspools of republican
corruption to help you out of the filth,
but break away from your miry con-
dition and make a dash for liberty
for yourself, and the democrats will
extend you a helping hand and land
you safely within the folds of the
only political organization not dom
mated by bosses, and where every
man is his own master and exercises
the right of free thought without
dictation or menace. -

WILLING TO HELP.

The following from the Willston
Graphic speaks for itself:
Willow City, ND, June 5, 1905.
Dear Sir and Brother AS you un-
doubtedly know there is some talk
of holding meeting at some point in
the state in the near future for the con-
sideration Of a movement looking to-
ward the betterment of the republican
party of the state, or in other words,
to wrest the power of the bosses from
them and give it to the people wnere
it rightfully belongs. There are
some very prominent men at the head
of this movement and l believe the
time has come when the power of the
few over the masses must end and
that hereafter the people will rule in
stead of few residents and few
more non residents I do not know
how you feel upon the proposition
and would be pleased to hear from
you Immediately, conveying to me
your opinion upon such a movement
as I have outlined and should a
meeting for that purpose be called
you will be properly notified of the
time and place in time to make ar
rangements to attend should you de-
sire to do so. "..
Yours Very Truly.
T. G. Michael.
