TO RECONSIDER THE
BIDS FOR PAVING
BY Vote of Three to One, Council De-
cides to Take Another Chance On
the Improvement of the
Streets.

BY vote of three to one the city
council last night went on record as
favoring the reconsideration of bids
for paving East Main street, Isaacs
avenue and North Palouse street, the
contract for which work had been
previously awarded the Rudolph S.
Blome Granitoid company. A new
turn was given the paving contro-
versy that has been N progress be-
tween the several rival companies
here for the past two weeks by the
filing of three new petitions setting
forth the fact that the procedure or
assessment was illegal, both according
to the state laws and the city charter,
and asking that tho bids be reconsld-
cred. Five petitions have been placed
on file against the proposed improves
ments, and the council, by the follow
ing vote, agreed to reconsider: Ayes,
Hull, Bachtold Niebergall and Cum
man.
Later in the evening Councilman
Cummings moved that the city clerk be
instructed to refund the certified check
of the Blome company. The check
amounts to $3.50 and has been dcpos-
tied with the city clerk since April.
Mr.. Ashbrook, who has had charge OF
the Blome company's work here re-
fused to accept the check last night
after council meeting, upon advice of
his attorney. Mr. AshbroOk said his
attorney would more than likely insti-
tute action for damages against the
city at once.
Upon motion all bids were rejected
for the Improvement OF the trio OF
thoroughfares, and the street commit
tee was instructed to prepare new spe-
cifications and have them ready to be
passed on at the meeting week from
last night.
Before this motion was put Council
man Whiteman. said Gentlemen, on
the face of it it looks like downright
dishonesty. We are going back on
our word. thing we should never 90.

were given ample time to file objections
and they did not. We have complied

IT WILL NOT DOWN IN cALIFoR-
MA DESPITE RoosEvELTs
UNTlRiNG EFFORTS.
DEEP CONCERN IS CAUSED
Administration Is Particularly Pur-
turbed by Passage Of the Anita
School Bill and Some Important
Move on Part Of Government ls En-
pected During This Week.

Washington. Feb. THE wide diff
ference of opinion among the members
of the house committee on agriculture
on the bill which seeks to provide for
the protection of the watersheds of
navigahle streams is evidenced In the
reports which accompany the bill. The
opinions of the majority as expressed
by Representatives Weeks (Massa-
chusetts) and Lever tSouth Carolina)
are practically those of the admins
tration. The general scope of the bill
permits the requirement of lands in
any part of the United States when
considered advisable by the nationai
forest reservation claim which the
bin creates. 1t provides that the
geological survey must first deter
will promote or protect the naviga
bility of streams.
The majority report declares the
flood damage has increased from
As million dollars in 1900 to 118 mil
lion in 1907 and that the greatest in
creases are on streams on whose wa
tersheds the forests have been heavily
cut.
The minority report, which Is
signed by Chairman Charles F. Scott
and four other members, contends that
there Is no vital connection between
the forests and the maintenance Of
navigability in navigable streams.
Those members argue in favor of in
struction in the proper tillage of the
soil for the farmer and assistance In
protecting the forests from fire as
more desirable than the purchase of
lands which would be made unproduc-
tive and would be taken from the local
tax rolls.
Representative Hawiey of Oregon.
Of the minority, declares data suffi-
cient to justify the passage Of the bill
are not available.

CALIFORNIA PEOPLE
NOT EXCITED
THERE is LITTLE INTEREST IN
JAP QUESTION OUTSIDE
OF LEGISLATURE.

San Francisco, Feb. THAT Cali
fornians in general are not taking great
interest in the anti-Japanese legisla-
tion in Sacramento is apparent from
answers to inquiries in this regard
sent by the Associated Press to all
sections of the state. Seemingly no
one is excited over the situation but
the Legislators themselves. Where
opinions are expressed there is a divi-
sion of sentiment as to the advisable
ity of the state taking action that
might embarrass the national govern
ment.
Los Angeles says that the sentiment
in that vicinity is opposed to legisla
tion at this time. Stockton, Fresno.
San Jose and other interior points
are taking little interest one way or
the other In the contest at the state
capitol.
In San Francisco the main question
the necessity for anti-Japanese leg
islation Is lost sight of in the interest
with which the general public is
watching the contest between the
president. aided by Governor Gillett
and the republican organization, and
the anti-Japanese faction. Aside from
a protest from local business men
against action by the Legislature at
this time. there have been no public
meetings or other demonstrations for
or against the mea sures before the

TAFT is SATISFIED
WITH PANAMA
CANAL
STARTS hOMEWARD PLEASED
WITH PROGRESS OF WORK
ON BIG WATERWAY.

Colon, Feb. 7.-President-elect Will
liam II. Taft and party left here this
evening at O'Clock on board the
cruiser North Carolina for New Or
leans. accompanied by the cruiser
Montana. Previous to embarking Mr..
Taft gave out the following:
II am not prepared now to make a
statement as to the results of the trip
to the isthmus, except to say that we
found the work progressing in most
satisfactory way; the organization Is
better than ever; the esprit de corps
excellent and the determination of all,
even the humblest laborer, is directed
to the building of the canal. l am
sure that this has impressed itself
upon everyone of the board of visiting
engineers as it has upon me.
With reference to the type of canal
and the continuance of the present
plans, the engineers promise that they
will be able to hand me their report
by the time we land at New Orleans"
Mr.. Taft and party reached Colon
from Panama at 3:15 this afternoon.
Governor Malendez and a large gath
ering of the Panama railroad and
the isthmian canal employees were
present to bid farewell to him. Lieu
tenant Colonel Goethals, chief engi-
neer of the canal, accompanied Mr..
Taft on the North Carolina. He will
proceed to Washington to discuss the
matter of canal appropriations.
AS the tug which transferred the
visitors to the cruiser moved away,
the crowds cheered Justify, Mr.. Taft
looking the picture of health, bowed
and called out laughingly, Keep
your eyes on that subterranean lake at
Gatun."
During his visit, which lasted 10
days, Mr.. Taft visited every section
of the canal. His influence was ex-
erted also to bring about better
feeling between various factions that
have been opposing each other since
the last election.

UPON HIMSELF
SENATOR PERKINS MAKES AN.
sWER TO CRITICISMS BY
ROOSEVELT.

Washington, Feb. 7.-Senator Per.
kins Of California commented tonight
upon the attacks made upon him in
a telegram said to have been sent by
President Roosevelt to Governor Gill
lett of California. Senator Perkins
denied that he was an enemy seeking
to thwart the progress of the navy and
declared that he would rely upon his
record in the senate in support Of this
contention. He intimated that the
only basis for the presidents criti-
cism Of his action and what he termed
the only exception in his record in sup
port Of the navy and its needs was
his vote against the four battleships
program urged by the president.
Relative to the position he has
taken on the Japanese question. Sena-
tor Perkins said that in the face of
any treaty with foreign power in
his opinion. the right Of a state to have
its own policing power was beyond
question.
Senator Perkins stated his position
in the matters referred to by the pres
ident in his telegram was we'll under
stood. particularly In his own state
