ARRANGING TO OPEN BIDS
At 4 P. M. Saturday Treasury En-
ployes Will Get to Work on
Panama Bond Offers.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The secretary
of the treasury is making arrange
ments for opening the bids for the
Panama canal bonds, which were in
vited by the circular of November Is,
1907, and which are to be received I'M
til the close of business on November
80. At 4:3O p. m. on that day a force
of treasury employees will begin the
opening and their work will be con-
tinued until all the bids are opened
and sufficiently classified to enable the
secretary to determine approximately
the amount of bids received and so far
as practicable the names of the bid
ders who appear to be entitled to al
lotments.
It will not be feasible to admit the
public to the offices where the bids
will be opened, but a sufficient num-
Der of representatives of the press will
be admitted so that due publicity may
be given to any information the secre-
tary may desire to furnish.
AS already announced the secretary
will in the case of any allotments
made to national banks re-deposit tenn
porarily 80 per cent of the purchase
price and will also make such arrange
ments with other bidders to whom al
lotments are made as will not disturb
general business conditions.

Applicants for work on the isthmus

1t is estimated that 80 per cent of

sion at the isthmus are permanent, as
compared with q percentage of approx
imately 40 in that class some time
ago.

CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
Forty-One Lumber Companies in the
Northwest Make Complaints
Against Railroads.

Washington, Nov. 27.-FOrty-
lumber companies doing business in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho, have
filed complaints with the interstate
commerce commission against twenty
railroad companies operating in that
region and the states tributary there
to, alleging that these roads have I'M
lawfully combined and raised the rate
of freight on lumber from cents to
12z cents per hundred pounds. The
complainant list is headed by the Pot
latch Lumber company. The other
forty complaining firms are said to
comprise the most prominent lumber
companies of the Oregon region. Among
the defendant railroad companies are
the Northern Pacific. Great Northern,
Union Pacific Burlington. Southern
Pacific, Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Pauh
and the Oregon Short Line. Conspiracy
between the twenty defendant roads is
charged, and it is charged that the
proposed new rate is unreasonable.

DONE'S FRENzIED

lnsiStent Lawyer Hangs a

SALARY is LIKE THE PEA UNDER

The manner in which the acting"

nic1pal court. Willard Done is the
person referred to.
Alfred T. Cutler, the governors son
Is his official" private secretary and
he is paid the $3.50 a month salary
which he turns over to Done.
The true condition of affairs
has been brought to light by a
judgment entered by Judge Whitaker
against Done for $95 and in favor of
George B. Alder.
From the records in the case it ap-
pears that Alder sued Done. June Is.
1903, on two promissory notes for s21. so
each and $50 attorneys fees. Judg-
ment was entered June Is, 1905. for
$S3.56 and 81 costs. On September Is,
1907, an execution was issued naming
Alfred T. Cutler as garnishee.
Cutler when served said that he
owed Mr. Done on September 10. nine
teen-thirtieths of his $3.50 salary for
that month, but that on September 9
the amount due on October l had been
assigned by him to the Utah CONNER
cial & Savings bank for "a valuable
consideration.
A a DuHCdI, attorney Tor Alder, in
an affidavit set forth the fact that the
assignment was void as it was made
in behalf Of Done and in order to de-
fraud his creditors. He also said that
Done was a "clerk" in the employ of
the state and that Cutler was also a.
state official, so that the salary could
not be assigned until it was earned,
which would not be until October l.
He asked for an order compelling the
Utah Commercial & Savings bank to
interplead. The bank replied stating
that on September it had laoned
Done $3.50, Cutler going on his note and
giving as security an assignment of
the $3.50 pay warrant which Cutler
would receive October 1. On October
8 Cutler paid the note with his war
rant.
The attorney still insisted that the
deal between Cutler and Done was
void and that he had a right to gar
nishee the salary of Cutler as it was
paid to Done monthly in the way in
dictated. Judge Whitaker sustained
this opinion and entered Judgment
against the alleged secretary for $95.
