ROAD BIDS ARE
VERY MODERATE
Supervisors Get Better Figures
for KaIuanui Than They
Hoped.

The Board of Supervisors received a
pleasant surprise when the bids for
building Kaluanui road were opened.
It was estimated that about $4,000
would probably he the lowest bid, and
that the figures would run well up to-
ward $4,000. As it is the lowest bid
is about 81, 800.
One Of the most expensive items in
the building of the road viii be the
hauling of the rock TO nse in the abut-
ments and culverts. This rock will
have to be hauled from Honolulu, in all
probability, and the expense of carriage
win be considerable.
With this road built by private con-
tract, the county viii have to send an
inspector out, who will remain on the
ground to make certain that the con-
tractor lives up to the specifications.
The general feeling is that the bid
ders have allowed very small margin
of profit, and while they probably will
come out all right, it is not believed
by those who have gone over the mat.
ter, that the successful bidder will
grow wealthy on this one job.

Wool Market Is Improving.

MILES CITY, Jan. Pa communi.
cation has been received by a pro-
minent woolgrower in this city from a
Boston wool firm, which said: I'VE
hope the growers in Eastern Montana
will not be in a hurry to sell, but
wait until the season opens.
"The market here Boston is quite
bare of Montana wool aud it looks as
though we should 60 out next spring
prepared to pay good prices. Tell
all our friends not to be in a hurry to
dispose of their wool, as we do not
think they will lose by waiting.
"Foreign markets are all strong.
with an upward tendency. The Lon
don sales opened on the 10Th instant
with an advance of 7 per cent, on
crossbred wools."
The recipient of this letter firmly
agrees with the writer's that it ia ad.
vissble for Montana growers to hold
their wool till the season opens and
that better prices will then be given.
