Board of Public Improvements
And the People Concerned
Are Again Disappointed by
The Outcome of the Affair.
MAN EXPECTED TO BID
FINDS is OVERLOADED.
Board Will Not Give Up But
Will Make Another Adver-
tisement for Bids---SeWer
Also Needed to Northwest.

Today was the third time set for
opening bids for the construction of
the $4,000 sewer system in West Rich
mond south of Main street, and for a
third time the board of public works
was embarrassed because no bids were
on hand to be opened. People in the
section of the city where the sewer sys-
tenn is to be built are clamoring for
the Improvement, but at the present
time it looks like a myth in the dim
and hazy future. No local contractors
want the job and foreign contractors
who have figured on it have turned the
proposition down.
AT the last date set for opening bids
it was thought by the board that John
Hipskind, a prominent contractor of
Wabash, Ind. would submit bid, but
he failed to do SO. giving as a reason
that none of the financial institutions
of the city would take over the i'm
provement bonds.
Has Too Much Work.
Since that time Mr.. Hipskind has
again considered submitting bid to
do the work and it was thought he
would do SO because recently he was
assured by local banking houses that
they would take over the bonds. At
the eleventh hour Mr.. Hipskind decid-
ed that hedid not want the job because
ed that he did not want the job be-
cause he already nad too much work
on hand.
Mr. Merrill states that it is difficult
to find contractors who are prepared
to handle such a contract as the west
side sewer system. To place this sys-
tenn it will be necessary to excavate
through rock and it is not every con-
tractor who has the equipment to do
this work. Mr.. Hipskind was prepar-
ed to handle such a job and it was for
this reason that the board was partic-
contract.
Will Not Give Up.
Mr. Merrill was asked if the board
intended to abandon the project be-
cause no one seemed desirous of TAX
ing the contract. He replied that the
board would not take such action. I'VE
will again advertise for bids and will
set another date for the opening of
these BIDS said Mr.. Merrill. If at
that time the board does not receive
any bids, we will advertise again and
keep on doing SO until some contractor
is interested in the job
Mr.. Merrill says the effort of the
West Side Improvement association to
line up some contractors to submit
bids for the building of the sewer, did
not materialize.
AS soon as the agreement between
the city and the Pennsylvania railroad
for the West Second street crossing
viaduct is signed up, the board will ad-
vertise for bids on a sewer system in
that section of the city and they hope
they will not meet with the difficulties
they have experienced with the other
sewer system.

Counter Plot Likely to Be

sEr~w-e ysr
RULING BY JUDGE WOOD
ED BoYcE WAS THE PRINCIPAL
WITNESS ON THURSDAY AND A
SPEECH BY HIM WAS PRO-
DUCED.
BY JUDGE WOOD

Boise. Idaho, June 2S.-A ruling
made Thursday by Judge Wood while
Edward Boyce. for years the leader of
the Western Federation of Miners and
now wealthy mine owner of the
Occur d'Alenes. was testifying in be-
half of William ID. Haywood. may ma
terially limit the showing of the de-
fense as to the existence of the coun-
ter conspiracy against Haywood and
his associates. which is alleged.
James H. Hawley, for the state OBJ
jected to general question as to the
policy and practice of mine owners
throughout the west in blacklisting un-
ion miners.
Mr.. Hawley contended that the state
had directly shown the existence of a
conspiracy by Harry Orchard. and by
so doing had laid the foundation for
and made the connection of all the ev-
idence subsequently offered on the
subject. He said the defense was try
ing to show a counter conspiracy by
proving various isolated instances and
certain general conditions. none of
which was connected with the case
dation has been laid
Limited the Proof
In ruling the court accepted in part
the contention of the prosecution and
limited the proof of the defense along
this line to events in Colorado and
Couer d'Alenes. connected wit the case
as now established.
Ed Boyce was the principal witness
Thursday. and his testimony was chief
ly devoted to the history. purpose and
work of the Western Federation. He
denied the existence of an timer cir
Gle" or that there had ever been a con-
spiracy in the organization to do an
Illegal act.
The chief Importance of Boyce.s
cross-examination was the production
of speech by him at the convention
of the federation held at Salt Lake in
1898. in which he said that every un-
ion should have a rifle club. every
member a rifle. so that the federation
could march 25.CoO armed men in the
ranks of labor.
Declared the Equal Aiehts.
Mr.. Boyce would not agree with the
accuracy of the quotation. but. saying
that the sentiment was correct. declar-
ed with spirit that when he spoke the
words he had imputed to him he had
in mind the misconduct of state
Toops in Colorado. the use of troops
elsewhere against the federation. and
the constitutional right of all citizens
to bear arms. which was as much the
right of the miner as the aristocrat.

Another story concerning the baby
Spanish prince. current in court circles,
receives, strange as 1t may appear, con-
Siderable credence. The Queen of Spain
has not forgotten the dastardly act of the
anarchist on her wedding day. so when
the visit to England was arranged she
dispatched her beloved baby two days
ahead. safely and surreptitiousy in the
care of nurses and detectives. Then she
and the king brought with them another
baby, and it was only when Kensington
palace was reached that the devoted
mother again clasped her own infant in
her arms. Had ths king and queen been
blown up with the substitute baby the
real one would have had a poor chance
of recognition.
1t is easy to imagine the Carlist on
slaught on such a pretender. But
mothers love did not concern itself with
this. All she wanted was to safeguard
her child.
