states that ne is the lowest bidder
for the erection of the buildings at
the Indian school, but that bidder
from Califoria, James H. Owens, OF
Los Angeles, who is a few hundred
dollars over him, is making some
sort of an effort to swing the CON
tract to himself. on the matter of the
quality of the brick that is to be us
ed in the building. Mr.. Boyer says
that if he is the lowest bidder he
wants the contract and will do every
thing in his power to secure same.
The mere fact that man outside OF
this city can bid but few hund-
ed dollars more than he does, shows
that he has not taken this contract
at a losing price, especially as the
other man would have had to bring
all of his tools and other building
