NORTH DIVISION
SOUTH DIVISION

Although the Salem Y. M. @. A. has
actually played but two games, it has
forfeited one game to Dallas by
refusing to play on the date scheduled,
and the per centage should really be
1888 instead of 500.
The hardest game Of the season for
the South Division will be between
Dallas and o. A. G. on the Corvallis
floor, February 81. The Agricultural
College has lost but one game this
season, and will make every effort to
defeat Dallas and make a tie in the
percentage of the two teams, hoping to
win in try-out on a neutral court

ANNUAL NEE TING Of
ANTI-sbLOON LEAGUE

Mr.. Woolley' S report is not to be
the only item of interest at the Anti
Saloon annual meeting on Thursday of
this week. Other speakers though not
expected to be long will present some
matters vital to the Territory.
The interest naturally centers about
the history of Mr.. Woolley's trip
around the islands. What he says is
likely to be astonishing to those who
seldom stir out of their tracks. It may
be trenehant ana not altogether cal
culated to feed our self-complacency:
at any rate, however it may sparkle
with bright turns and Illuminating
aphorisms it is most likely to be fair
and it is quite sure to be kindly.
A number of men not connected with
the league have declared their inten-
tion of being at the Y. NJ C. A. hall
on Thursday night.

BIDS FOR THE
|. .H|LO BREAKWATER
sr&x
Four Bids Received, Two From
Local and Two From
i Frisco Bidders.

Bids for the 100000 job of construct
ing the Hilo Breakwater were opened
yesterday. and the contract, if awarded
on these bids, will undoubtedly go to
either 6. H. Mayer, with w. H. Hoogs
and ]. J. Belser as sureties, or to DIE.
Metzger of Hilo with Mark Robinson
and B. F. Dillingham; as sureties.
Mayer is the lowest bidder.
There was quite gathering in the
office of Captain Otwell, the United
States Army Engineer, yesterday at II
o'clock, when the bids were opened.
There was a great deal of interest
manifested. Among those present were
Z. A Thgrston, W. H. Hoogs, J. J.
Belser, c. II. Smith, C. NJ. Lovsted, B.
F. Dillingham;, Walter Dillingham;,
Harold Dillingham;, A. w. Van VAL
kenberg, H. C. Plummer and William
Lucas
Before opening the bids Captain OF
well announced that the bids had been
advertised for, for sixty days, so that
everyone had had ample opportunity to
study the conditions of the advertise
ment and the conditions of the work,
and therefore to be prepared to comply
fully with the requirements. One of
the requirements of the advertisement
was that he bidder must set out the
appliances he intended to use in carry
ing on the work. 1.-The requirements of
the advertisement will be strictly con-
strued," concluded Captain Otwell. Il
say this, because on a previous occa-
sion a bidder in response to this re-
quirement of the advertisement said in
his bid that he would put in any ap
pliances 1 required. But I am not
consulting engineer for any bidder But
in order to consider the bids properly
it should be shown what appliances the
bidder proposes to use"
There were four bids and Captain
Otweu proceeded to open them. The
first bid was that of D. E. Metzger, of
Hilo who offered to do the work at
the rate of $2,4S1-2 per ton of 1000
pounds stone placed in the breakwater,
or per ton of stone delivered at the
work $fSs. The next bid opened was
that of r. A. Perry of San Francisco,
at the opening of the bids
by H. C. Plummer, His bid was for
s297 a ton, stone placed in the break
water; or S2.5S per ton, delivered at
the work
The third bid opened was that of the
San Francisco Bridge Company who
proposed to put the stone in the break
water at the rate of $2SS a ton, but
made no offer for delivering the stone
at the work.
The last bid opened was that Of G.
H. Mayer. who offered to put the stone

in the breakwater for $2.1O a ton, or
to deliver it at the work for $3.50 a ton.
Samples of stone to be used were not
submitted by R. A. Perry of San Fran
cisco, who said in his bid that he would
get his stone from a quarry on the
Waiakea plantation: nor by the San
Francisco Bridge Company which said
in its bid that the stone it would fur
nish would come from Puma and would
be as per samples of Puma stone in
Captain Otweli's Office.
d. E. Metzger submitted a large
number of samples of stone, one sam
pie being heavier than granite and
