Surprise at Low Bids.

There was some surprise at the low
bids and the opinion was expressed that
the city was securing some cheap side
walks. For some reason or other there
was little desire to bid on the sidewalks
in the Second ward, but there was an
evident hankering for the work in the
Third ward. The contracts were awarded
to the Kennedy company on motion of g,
d. ROOklidge.

through what is conceded to be the
richest pieces of agricultural land in
the world.
The cost of the new parallel line.

made necessary by the heavy and

General Superintendent w. l. Park

yesterday and announced that rapid

The San Francisco graft prosecu-

forts for civic purity. They have be
come almost an institution. proving
that such endeavors for honesty and
the square deal are not necessarily
sporadic. leading only to reaction.
They serve also as a continual warn

special interests in other American
cities. says the Kansas City Star. The
dramatic incident. where Heney's and
