1t WlS voted that the contract for
printing the Australian ballot be
awarded to Burleigh {: Flynt of Au-
gusta on the ground that their bid. all
things considered. WAS the chcauc.t
and for tho best interests Of the State
While there was an apparent differ
oncc Of $219 in favor Of the Watervil.e
Sentinel. this small difference was con-
siGernbly more than offset by the extra
trouble and expense which would be
put upon the secretary of States Office
b, undertaking to do this work out
side the capital In view Of this fact
the bid of Burleigh & Flynt was un-
dOubtediy lower than that OF the Sem
tinel.
+. \. Carver. auditor of the printing
stated to the Governor and Council
that, at the prices bid, the Legislative
printing would cost the State more
than $4,000 in excess of what it did at
the last session.
In this connection a brief statement
of some of the facts bearing upon this
matter may be- Of interest.
1t was thought that the State might
be able to make q material saving by
lative work, which had formerly been
looked upon as supplementary and nee
essary to each other. This was, appar-
entity, true 50 far as the book work was
concerned. The very low bid of the
Watervi.le Sentinel effected a saving
of about 5000 per year for 1868 and
1909 over the prices paid in 1906 anu
1907 or q total saving Of 5000 for tie
two wears When, however, the bids
on the Legislative printing We're con-
Sidered-the Sentinel being the only
bidder on the bulk If this work-it
was found that this printing would
cost the State more than $1,000 i'll ex-
cess OF tho cost of the Legislative print
ing Of the last session. The bid OF tho
Waterrillc Sentinel. considered alone,
was more than $1,000 in excess of the
cost Of the legislative printing at the
last session.
Instead therefore Of there being any
saving to the State on the book and
Legislative work it was evident that
there would be an actual increase Of
cost to the State on these two classes
of work of nearly 5000 over what was
paid for them in 1906 and 1897 Under
the circumstances the Governor and
Council doubtless felt that the inter-
cstS of the State would not be served
by accepting the bids on the lcGisla-
tive printing. They were therefore re-
jected. and new bids will be called for
on this class.
The next meeting Of the Governor ami
Council will be held Feb. -, 1T 10 \. N.

TRINIDAD, Colo, May l2.-The new Santa Fe tunnel through Raton noun. tain is about completed, it being esti- mated by the contractors that work will be finished by May 20. The tun. mel, which cost $l,0O0,O00 was construct ed by the Langtry Construction com. pany, and was to have been finished April l. Since that time the company has been paying forfeit of $l00 for each day after the contracted year was up. The contract with the company also provided that the railroad would pay $l00 a day for as many days be- fore April as the tunnel was >com. pleted.
 The construction has been remarka- bly, free from accidents. Three men have been killed, two by falls of rock and one by an explosion, and but few have been injured Hard granite en- countered in the tunnel delayed the work. The new tunnel will facilitate greatly the handling of freight, and will be thirty feet lower than the old one.

UNCLE SAM IS
 WORLDS BEST
 LETTER WRITER
HE ALSO IS THE CHAMPION TEL EGRAPHER AND TELEPHoNIsT, SAY FIGURES EUROPE COMES NEXT AS CoMMUNTcAToR

NEW YORK, May l2.-The fondness of Americans for the swiftest possible means of communication is shown in a striking way by some international sta These show that of the various means of transmitting information, letters and postal cards form 7S.5 per cent in Flu rope, as against 59.5 per cent in the United States; telegrams form l.9 per cent in Europe and l per cent in the United States; telephone conversation forms l9.6 per cent in Europe and 39.5 per cent in the United States.
 That is to say that letters play only about three. quarters as important a part in the business of communicating in this country as in Europe; telegrams have only half as great share proportion. ately, while the telephone is twice as important here as abroad.
 This does not mean that a given num- Der of Europeans send more letters or telegrams than the same number of Americans. In fact, Americans are far in the lead in all branches of eommuni- cation. Taking the statistics for 1905, the latest year for which comparative figures are available, each thousand Flu ropeans sent 29,554 letters and post cards and 73l telegrams and had 1864 telephone conversations. The same mum Der of Americans transmitted 66,719 let ters and post cards 1909 telegrams and 44,344 telephone messages.
 Thus the American writes two and a quarter letters, sends one and half telegrams and holds six telephone con versations for every one of his Enro, pean cousins.
 While Uncle Sam is ahead in all branches of communication, he far out strips all other nations in the use of the telephone. Approximately fve-sevonths of all the telephones in the world. or about 5,000,000 out of total of a little over 7,000,000, are in the United States. New York City alone has more than all countries outside of Europe and North
