MAY WANT PENDLEToN BONDS.
Four Big Concerns Bid for 500, 900
Issue at Walla WaIIa.

What may be a tip to the city
council of Pendleton is contained in
the following item concerning offers
for Walla Walla city bonds:
Bids for the city hall bond issue of
100000 were submitted to the coun-
ell tonight, two offers from four sep
arate houses being made, says a
Walla Walla dispatch. No local bids
were received. The award of the
issue will be made tomorrow after
noon.
w. A. Scott, representing E. H.
Rollins & Co.. of Chicago. agreed to
take the full issue at per cent, but
asked that the city pay for printing
the bonds, assuming thereby an ex-
pense Of $3.50. No premium was of
fered. James E. Chaplin, represent
ing A. B. Leach & Co., Chicago, Otis
& Hough, Cleveland, and Dewitt
Wemble. Chicago, agreed to take
S25,OOO worth with an option on the
remaining $4,000. He asked 5 per
cent.
The city hall bonds were offered
last year and brought better terms
than tonight. The bonding compa-
nies repudiated their bid. however,
on the grounds of illegality of issue
The state supreme court recently de-
claring the bonds legal, the city de-
termined to readvertise.

plenty of object lessons in sensible
construction. and we hope to take
advantage of some of them"
The mayor said the city was pay
ing from 50 to $3.50 a square foot
for floor space. He expects that the
cost a square foot after the city is
housed in its own building will not
exceed $3.50.
Some months ago the board of es-
innate requested the heads of de-
partments to turn in estimates of
floor area needed for their business.
The estimates, aggregated, taken as
sent in, made necessary an office
building Of SO stories. By making a
reasonable reduction in the requisl-
ton, the mayor says the building
need not be much more than 20
stories high, depending to some ex-
tent on how much court space is
planned for in the design that is ac-
cepted. The more room required for
court space in the interior of the
building the higher the building will
have to be.
There will be 25 elevators in the
new structure. The mayor suggested
that the top stories could be used for
parts of the supreme court pending
the building of separate quarters for
the courts. Proposals viii not be
asked for before next fall.

MAY POSTPONE SEATTLE FAIR.
Big Slump in Real Estate Values at
Seattle Cause of Talk.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 16.-Because
the big slump in real estate values
and general financial depression in
Seattle, it is highly probable that the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition will
be postponed from 1909 until the fol-
lowing year. Some OF the most sub
stantial business men of the sound
city, hackers of the staunchest kind
of the great project, have already
started a movement to abandon the
plan of holding the fair next year.
The reasons for such a movement,
which comes as big surprise to the
whole northwest, is set for tn in de-
tail in an exhaustive editorial by Col
onel Blethen of the Seattle Times.
Colonel Blethen declares that he Is
volcing the sentiments of the men
who are to supply the "sinews Of
war" for the exposition.
The first intimation that the expo
sition directory was up against
brick wall in its efforts to realize on
the state shore lands which were to
supply a bulk of the exposition fund,
was brought out a couple of weeks
ago at a hearing of the Washington
State Railroad commission, at Olym-
pia. when Seattle real estate men
testified under oath that realty val
ues had dropped 25 per cent in Sc
attle within the past year.
Since then conferences have been
held frequently over the dilemma and
efforts have been made to dispose Of
part of the Seattle shore lands to
Portland capitalists, the matter hav-
ing been laid before the oregon
state commission for the A.-Y.-P. ex-
position. Members of the Oregon
commission are wondering what to do
for the reason they have already pro-
gressed considerably with plans for
the $4,000 building It will erect at
the fair, and steps have been taken
to begin collecting both state and in

CLAIMS SWEETEST SUGAR BEETS
San Miguel County, New Mexico,
Boasts of Fine Quality of Product

According to a recent series OF
analysis of the sugar beets grown last
season in San Miguel county, near
Las Vegas, the San Miguel county
sugar beet is the finest on earth, says
the Albuquerque Journal. This is
shown by the following letter ad-
dressed to Adm II. Whitmore, presi-
dent of the La Cueva ranch COM
pany, which company has made ex-
tensive experiments in beet culture:
Washington, Dec. 80, 1907.
ia Cueva Ranch company, La Cue
va, Mora county, n. NJ.
Dear Slrs:-The bureau of chem
istry has just given me the following
report of the analysis of the second
lot of sugar beets which your com.
pany sent to this department:
No. No. 2
"Av. weight of beets. III OF 16 OF
"sugar in juice, per ct. .22.SO 217O
"Co-effnt purity, per ct. $500 $500
'T shall be pleased to hear from
you later in regard to next seasons
planting.
&C. o. TOWNSEND.
"Pathologist in charge of sugar beet
investigation"
The percentages shown by these
analysis shows more sugar than any
other sugar beets grown in the west.
As a result sugar beet culture has re-
ceived big boost in San Miguel
county and at a meeting of the farm
ers' institute in Las Vegas Saturday
It was determined to proceed at once
with campaign to plant large
acreage next season to ascertain just
what can be done on large scale.
Already "a farmers have agreed to
plant beets on large scale next sea-
son.

A municipal office building Of at
least 20 stories. and costing between
$7,000,OOO and s9,0OO,OOO, is to be
built on the old Tryon Row site op-
posite the Brooklyn bridge terminal,
says the New York Tribune.
The ground floor and basement
will be used as a bridge terminal.
From the second floor up it will be
used for offices, and it is planned to
put all the municipal offices with
the possible exception of the health
and police departments, into this
building.
The preliminary steps for the con-
struction of the new skyscraper were
taken yesterday, when the mayor an
nounced that well-known architects
would compete in submitting plans
for the building. These architects
are ]. Stewart Barney. Carrere &
Hastings: Clark & Russell, J. H.
Freedlander. Gass Gilbert, Helms. ,&
LeFarge. Helmle & Huberty, Hoppm
& Koen. Howell & Stokes H. r. Mar
shall. McKim, Mead & White, Trow-
bridge & Livingston and Warren &
Wetmore
These architects will meet this
forenoon at the mayors office and
appoint jury of three to pass on the
designs, which are to be submitted
on or before April II and be reported
on by the Jury on May IA
Each competing architect receives
$1,000 for his design. and each juror
the same. The successful competitor
will receive $4,000 for the winning
design Il his plans are not accepted
by the city.
The new building will cover two
blocks. spanning Chambers street
and reaching north as far as city hall
place. with Center street for the
western boundary and Park Row for
the eastern. The bridge terminal is
to be reconstructed so as to enable
the cars to enter the building. as will
also those OF the new subway loop
and the trains that run over the
Manhattan and Williamsburg
bridges.
The building will contain floor
space OF not less than 100000 square
feet, exclusive of halls and elevators.
The ground floor will be for the dis
tribution Of passengers.
'"The building ought to provide Of
flee space for the city for many
years, allowing for a reasonable en-
largement Of the clty's business"
said Mayor Mcclellan in discussing
the plans. I'VE are now paying
about 355O00O a year for office rent
Assuming that the new building will

New York, Jan. 16.-New York
politicians attribute hidden signifi-
cance to the appearance on the same
platform here today of Governor
Hughes and DR.. Booker T. Washing
ton, the colored educator and presi-
dent of Tuskegee institute. DIR.
Washington is admittedly the leader
of American negroes and his influ-
ence will go far toward determining
the southern vote in the republican
national convention. That his meet
ing with Hughes today may result in
increasing the popularity of the lat
ter among the negroes is quite pos
sible
That DR.. Washington will not OPEN
ly espouse the cause of Secretary
Taft. despite the friendship of the
negro educator for President Roose-
welt, is almost a foregone conclusion.
The majority of the southern negroes,
according to men familiar with the
political situation in the south, favor
the candidacy of Senator Foraker be-
cause of the stand he took in the
Brownsville affair.
1t is believed that DIR. Washington
is shrewd enough to realize the inn
possibility of securing the nomination
for Foraker, and farseeing enough to
perceive that, II possible, 1T would
only be harmful TO the negro race,
since 1t would make radical animosi-
ties and issue of the campaign. DR..
Washington. is too firm a friend of
President Roosevelt to advocate the
nomination of the chief executives
chief political enemy
All of these facts lead the wise
ones to believe that DR.. Washington
will come out in favor of Governor
Hughes and that he will use his in
fluence to bring his millions of ad-
mirers to the same opinion. SO far
DR.. Washington has not expressed
himself definitely on the political sit
uation, but great pressure is being
brought to bear on him by the negro
leaders of the south. To a greater
extent than any other man, Mr..
Washington carries the republican in
fluence of the south in his possession,
and when he does speak it will be
with the wisdom and finality of an
oracle.
The Foraker forces realize this and
have done their utmost to persuade
the great educator to announce him
self in favor of the Ohio senator. If
they succeed. Foraker will have a
fighting chance in the convention. II
they fail, the Foraker boom will be
dead.

DIrectors peclare No Change.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 16.-The pro-
posal to postpone the Alaska Yukon
Pacific fair has not been discussed by
the directors OF the exposition they
say, and at present they have not the
slightest intention of changing the
date, they say. Neither President
Chilberg nor Dlrector-General Henry
e. Reed would make a statement fur
ther than to say the directors have
not taken up the matter and that they
will go on with the work to open the
fair in June, 1909. They say there is
no truth in the reports that the talk
OF postponing the exposition was
started by three or four business men
who believed the exposition could not
be opened in 1909, owing to financial
conditions. The exposition manage
ment, however, says 1t expects to en-
counter no difficulty in raising funds
