TO LET BRIDGE CONTRACTS.
State Road Construction Reported to
be Progressing Rapidly.

Work on the new state road is
progressing rapidly. Two new bridges
are to be built at once. 1t is ex-
pected that the final arrangements
for the fifteen miles Of road running
through the forest reserve will be
arranged for this week.
The new state road will open up
an ideal country for camping par
ties and summer resorts. It will
probably be completed in time for
fall camping parties.
Bids are to be opened for two Of
the largest bridges April IA. Both
are to be built across the Natchez
river in the Upper Natchez valley,
23 miles from this city. The length
of each is 100 feet; they are to be Of
combined wood and steel, 20-foot
panels. 16-foot roadway and 3-inch
planking. The spans are to rest on
stone piers, each of which will have
an Sx24-foot base, three piers to
each bridge. The estimated cost is
$4,000 each. and they are to be built
as soon as possible.

CITY LIGHT AND WATER PLANT.
Rumors that City Will Operate Both
IL Armbruster Succeeds.

1t was rumored about town Mon
day that the special committee on
the council appointed some time ago
to look into the question of a mu-
nicipal water system would report
last night. Councilman Armbruster
was chairman of the committee, and
after the council adjourned last
night stated that he had intended to
bring the matter up, but that the
action of the council last night had
put new phase on the matter.
While Mr.. Armbruster would not
say what the change was, it is pretty
well understood that he will make an
attempt to delay action on the street
lighting proposition until after he
has had an opportunity to report on
the water situation.
His action in the matter would
lead one to believe chat he had a
trick up his sleeve to combine light
ing and water, using the same plant
Tor both purposes
People to whom Mr.. Armbruster
has talked about the matter say that
municipal ownership will be recon-
mended by the committee. 1t is un-
derstood that two of the members, at
least, are favorable to the PROPOSE
ton, and there is some reason to be-
lieve that all of the members are of
the same opinion.
If it is decided to report favorably
upon municipality operated water
system, there will also be a provision
made, it is said, to develop water
power at the same time, with the idea
of furnishing sufficient horse pow
err to run a power plant for street
lighting, which will also be NUM-
cipal venture.
Mr.. Armbruster refused to discuss
the matter further until he had con-
ferred with the committee.

we certainly do not feel justified in
discharging good men now in our
employ simply because they are nom
union men,"
w. w. FELTON, said, when asked Of
any of the men on his Jobs went out:
mo, ali of my men are working the
same as usual. do not anticipate
any trouble between the carpenters
and contractors. We granted them
everything except the closed shop,
and that is an unreasonable de-
mand."
w. T. Stewart said: Cali of my
men are working. I understand that
all crews are working, except, It Is
rumored that two union men on the
Horsley house quit, as all the others
working on that house were non
union men. I don't think there will
be any trouble"
These seem to be the conditions as
far as they can be obtained, and the
carpenters have, with one or two ex-
accepted them and contin-
ued at work rather than precipitate
any serious trouble at this time.

CARPENTERS FAIL
TO GO ON STRIKE
FAIL TO MAKE DEMAND GOOD
Accept Increase in Wages and De-
crease in Hours Apparently
Without a Murmur.

The carpenters strike has not ma
terialized to any such extent as the
men themselves expected it would.
The contractors all claim to have
stood pat on their refusal of closed
shop, and to all appearances they
have won the fight, as there were but
one or two instances of any men lay
ing down their tools and quitting
work Monday morning. President
Romans said last night that he an
ticipated no trouble. The Carpen-
ters' Union has evidently considered
discretion the better part of valor.
and let down their bars on their
strenuous demand for a closed shop
The fact of the matter seems to
be that the men have taken the in
crease in wages and the decrease in
hours as a sum total of all they ex-
pected. and will continue under the
present conditions until forced to re-
new their demand for a closed shop.
The claim has been set up by the
carpenters that if they give in on the
closed shop, conditions will soon re-
vert to where they were, but they
have called out none OF their men
who are working in open shops, of
which the Yakima Planning mill is
the leading instance.
A. E. Towards planning mill was
visited by a Herald representative.
but Mr.. Howard was not in. The Of
fee man said that all of the mill
crew were working. and he had heard
no word of complaint.
Two rumors were current yester-
day regarding Joe Shriner. One was
that he, being a non-union man, quit
OF his own accord, and the other
that he was asked to join the union
and refused to do so. and was dis
charged by the foreman. A diligent
search was made for Mr. Shriner
but he could not be found.
President Romans of the Carpen-
ters' Union. said: "All our demands
were granted here" referring to the
Mullins building; however, under
stand that some crews are laying OF,
but most of them are working"
When asked regarding the case OF
Shriner. he said: "You can draw
your own conclusions as to whether
he was discharged or qiut. When he
came up to the building, he put on
his overalls. He was given a chance
to join the union, but refused to dc
so. He didn't go to work. You can
draw your own conclusions"
A. e. Howard said Sunday: sc
far as ! know. the contractors stand
pat on the qeustion Of the closed
shop. We granted the advance in
wages, and we are willing to give
union carpenters the preference. but
