CONTRACT AWARDED
 TO PHOENIX FIRM
Pioneer Consolidated Transfer Go. Will Furnish oil To the Reclamation Ser vice At Roosevelt.

On August 3d bids were opened in the offices of the reclamation service here for furnishing to the service at Roosevelt, 39,000 barrels of fuel oil. There were six bidders some of them bidding on the oil and the haulage to- gether and some of them merely on the haulage. Among the bidders were the Pioneer Consolidated Transfer com pany of this city and the Shattuck X Nimmo Warehouse company which is now just finishing a contract for fur nishing the service with 50000 barrels of oil.
 After the bids were opened they were forwarded to Supervising Engi- neer Hill for his approval and by MT. Hill forwarded to Washington. They were passed upon there and the Phoe- nix office of the service was notified yesterday that the contract had been awarded to the Pioneer Consolidated company, at $40 per barrel, laid down in Roosevelt, not to exceed $500 barrels per month being required for delivery, of the contractor.
 This is a little advance over the price paid for oil undST the former contract which was s3.4S, as the price of oil has advanced considerably since the former contract was let. The for mer contract was for 5O,0O0 barrels which was all it was deemed eXpedi- tious to contract for at that time. As the work on the Salt river project has developed it has been found that con siderable more oil will be needed and so new bids were called for.

THE SCENE PAINTER.
He Plays an Important Part I'm Stag
ing a Modern Play.

He Plays an Important Part I'm Stag
ing a Modern Play.
When a play has been accepted for
production 1t is sent to the scene paint
er, who goes over it carefully, taking
note Of all details to be reproduced
Then, if the subject is difficult, he
makes sketch of it in the fat. II
this proves satisfactory to manager,
actor and author, he builds it up in
miniature model on the scale of half
an inch to the foot as perfect In pro
portion and exquisite In detail as the
finished scene. An old gentleman late
", looking over collection Of models
in one of the New York studios, re-
marked that his granddaughter would
be delighted to have them for doll
houses. The proprietor Of the studio
smiled to himself. The models for q
single play cost well up toward a thou
sand dollars. For an ordinary four act
comedy the models, scenes, properties
and costumes cost, let us say, FIVE or
six thousand dollars. The cost Of the
great scenic productions is never as
much as the press agents say, but has
been known to exceed 100000.
When the model is approved, the
stage carpenter takes measurements
for such framework as may be neces-
sary. The clumsy construction of the
old days has given way to the solidest
sort Of building. Windows slide in
their sashes; doors slam, shut and lock.
Staireases are solid to the tread. Trees
are built up In the round, and columns
are turned ouf { Z solid wood. But as
every show is intended to travel among
all the great cities of the continent the
heaviest scene must be made up Of
pieces short enough to be packed in q
freightscar.
The scene painter marks out the |
pieces of his model in tiny squares and |
then hangs huge canvas beside |
the paint bridge with corresponding |
squares in scale. The craftsman stands
on the bridge with piece Of charcoal
on stick like a billiard cue and
square by square copies the lines of the /
model, while an assistant raises and |
lowers the cloth with tackle. Then
the body paint is put on, and the de-
tails are added until the cloth is COM

Paper Making From Sugar

tor are set forth in a report to
this government by Consul
General Richard Euenther of
Frankfort, Germany.
The increasing scarcity of
spruce, which is the wood
most used for paper making,
is we'll known. Active search
is being made in many parts
of the world for materials to
t take the place Of pulpwood.
Enerous quantities of ground
sugar cane go to waste at the
factories. Some Of it is used
for fuel under the boilers, but
but a very large part is left
to rot.
