CONTRACTORS
WILL NOT BID
Reclamation Service Is Up
Against Mighty Hard
Proposition

WASHINGTON. d. c., May o.
Let the work be done by force ac-
count" has been the order of Director
Newell OF the reclamation service
twice within week. when contractors
either refused to bid, or, bidding, bid
too high. One of the pieces of work
was in Montana. the other In Oregon.
'The people of the West scarcely
realize how diflcult it Is to induce
contractors to submit proposals, and
how often, when they bid. they name
an impossible figure" c. J. Blanchard,
statistician OF the service, said when
asked regarding the Montana and
Oregon projects in question. "The in
stance in Montana was one in which
we advertised for more than a month
for proposals to construct simple
rth-fiil dam and accessory struc-
lures on Willow creek five miles
northwest OF Augusta. But no bids
were given. Now we have proceeded
to do the work ourselves.
Want Too Much.
'The Oregon case is even more
startling. We asked for bids on so, :
900 yards Of earth and rock excaya-
ton. waited more than two months.
received only one bid. that from Pa
quet. Giebisch & Joplin Of Portland
at rs cents yard for the earth, and
Of course quickly rejected such an
OFFER.
LESS than year ago we let con-
tracts at less than 10 cents a yard
for earth excavation. although that,
probably, is too low, and out of IA
bids received none was for more than
1S cents a yard.
yet today for work on the Kla-
math canal we are asked to pay rs
cents a yard. 1t is serious. indeed, for
the farmers OF the wect, because
every dollar Of added cost in con-
structing an irrigation project they
must pay back to the government.
The entire cost OF building is to be
paid back in 10 equal annual pay
ments.
Idaho ls Affected.
This condition affects Wyoming,
Idaho. Washington and all the other
irrigation states. and the prevalency
of excessively high prices for labor
and materials today will extend their
effect out into the years to come, while
the farmers and fruit growers are
making their payments to the gov
ernment.
1.-THE reclamation service is anx-
ious to have the people understand
these things fully. so that there may
be no misunderstanding in the fu-
ture.
However we are going to hasten
the work on all projects now under
way. 80 as to bring the reclaimed
lands into production and the pay
ments to tho government just as soon
- possible"

MANILA NAVAL STIR
MCNADNOCK AND MONTEREY TO
BE COMMISSIONED.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
MANILA. July 5.-Commander John F.
-Luby went to Olongapo and brought the
coast defense ironclad Monadnock thence to
Cavite. manned with a skeleton crew.
Meanwhile the destroyers and gunboats are
assembling at Cavite. Probably the Monte
reg, also a coast defense ironclad, will be
put into commission in a few days. manned
with a portion of the gunboat crews. Some
of these crews will also be transferred to
the Monadnock to make up her compile
ment.
The authorities declare that this activity
in naval affairs does not signify that any
international troubles are anticipated.
The commissioning Of the Monadnock and
the Monterey would not constitute a very
formidable implied threat. The Monadnock
is an antiauated craft of 1900 tons that
was laid down at Mare Island in 1874 and
launched in 1883. She has a nominal speed
of twelve knots, has a 9-inch armor belt,
carries four 1O-inch guns in two barbettes,
Her full crew numbers 155 men.
The Monterey is a steel monitor of 1854
tons and was launched at San Francisco in
1891. Her speed is IA knots. She is pro-
vided with a 13-inch steel armor belt and
carries two Pinch and two 10-inch guns in
barbette and the usual supply Of guns Of
smaller caliber. Her complement is 2O3
men.
