the bonds, which he did.
Taft says: 1.-THE executive Of
ficers of the road have been adj
vised of their error. Hereafter
they will not act similarly until
after consultation"
The other transaction is In con-
nection with the cancellation of a
commissary contract which was
awarded to J. e. Markell of Omaha.
Shonts says: "The president and
directors of the railroad were sup
ported in their position by the ad.
vice of counsel, but think in such
matters they should consult high
er authority. l have so advised the
officials in order to prevent a de-
parture from this principle in the
future"
Taft lays stress upon the good
motives of the president and direc-
tors, saying his only objection is
that they exceeded their authority.
The president endorsed Taft's re-
port, saying he approved his &C
tons and recommendations.

be below the mark.
Spokane is credited with $4,000
and Seattle with 100000 in the new
folder. while without justification
the folder generously gives 1000
to Portland.
THAT the same plate was not
used for printing the page that was
used in the manufacture of the ly.

by the fact that the literary genius
who constructed 1t arbitrarily rails

allowed the $4,000 mark against
Tacoma to stand uncorrected."
