KNOCK-DOwN ON DITCH CONTRACTS.
It Took Three Falls to Decide Ditch Bids
on No. II.

Judging by the story of the bidding
on the construction work on county
ditch No. IL last Thursday. Auditor
Larson earned years salary and
then some by declining to close the
ditch contract to the lowest bidder
at the first opening of bids.
When the auditor and engineer
opened the bids at the hour named
in the published notice, there were
four bids for ditch construction and
two for tile work, as follows:
Amos Berdine, 80 cents per cubic
yard.
6. E. GiIbcrtson, 8 cents per cubic
yard.
A. G. Miller. s cents per cubic
yard.
Forestal 6 Feyen 7.ss per GU
bic yard.
For tile work, j. H. schriver bid
$50. $50.
"A. w. Schweppe bid $51. 200 for
the same work.
Auditor Larson thought the bids
for tile work were too high to be
considered and that the bids for
dredge work looked little peculiar.
and that the best interests of the
land owners who would ultimately
have to pay for the work would not
suffer if the bidders were asked to
come again. All bids were conse-
quently rejected and adjournment
taken until pm, when the bidders
were asked to submit new bids, and
the following shows how the second
lot of bids opened up:
Forester & Feyen, sc cents per
cubic yard.
Gilmore Bros. $50 cents per Gu
bic yard.
Jerry Sherwood 70 cents per GU
bic yard.
Amos Berdine. SIS cents per Gu
bic yard.
G. E. Gilbertson, 7.49 cents per
cubic yard.
o. B. Olson, Z cents per cubic
yard.
And still the county auditor was
not satisfied. although the difference
between the lowest bid at the second
hearing and the first would amount
to saving Of about So. 500 to the ul-
innate consumer. Against the pro-
test Of the county engineer. the bids.
were rejected a second time, and an
adjournment made until 8 o'clock
the next day, when only two bid
ders appeared, with the following
bids:
ForestaI & Feyen. sc per cubic
yard, Jerry Sherwood 6.2 cents. the
last named getting the award Of the
contract, at saving Of $4,000 over
the first bids opened.
The tile work has not yet been let,
and this part Of the story is to be-
confined In our next Or later.

Victims of a shrewd Woman

Many persons in the vicinity of Clar ks
burg, Montgomery county. would like
to see woman who made her residence
near Clarksburg recently, and impressed
the people with her great wealth upon
the strength of which she made loans.
The woman is described as about 60
years old, good conversationalist and
attractive in looks. She acted for a
time as housekeeper for John Wagner.
She made an impression first by a lavish
use OF money. She appeared at the
home of prominent farmer and offered
to buy his home, farm and stock for
$1,000. The farmer saw letters purport-
ing to come from prominent lawyers in
New YORK and other places, and looked
upon the offer with favor. She suavely
paved the way for loan Of $50, follow
ing 1t up by borrowing from others until
several hundred or more dollars had
been secured. Later on she negotiated
for a business place in Clarksburg. and
had an engagement with the business
man to meet her at the Riggs Bank in
Washington to receive a deposit on the
purchase. The business man is still
waiting. Just prior to Christmas she
disappeared

GREAT ADVANCE IN PRICES
THE CAUSES WHY?

'How to make both ends meet is the
supreme question of the hour in nine
tenths of the households of this country
today With the necessities of life con-
stantlv increasing in price and the income
stationary the problem has become a
serious and pressing one to many who
never before felt the sting of hard times,
while to the really poor life, or rather
mere existence, is a tragedy. Meat and
other foodstufis are at an altitude never
before reached and the cost of clothing is
advancing every day. But a few days ago
an advance in the price of shoes was an
nounced by eastern manufacturers fol-
lowed on the next day by the announce
ment of an advance Of rs per cent by the
manufacturers of cotton hosiery and
underwear. The prices of these articles
were already so per cent higher than
year ago
In Ohio a movement has started to
boycott meat for a period of 90 DAYS.
with the object of forcing the meat
trust to reduce its prices to a reasonable
level. This movement may have some
effect, but to achieve real success 1t would
be necessary for a nationwide conversion
to vegetarianism, and not for few days
only but for long period of time.
All kinds of theories are being adj
vanced to account for the serious con-
dition existing, but worshipers of the
fetch Of the Sacred Tariff and Big Bust
ness studiously sdestep the three great
fundamental and irreiutable causes.
They are the Tariff the Trusts and Over
capitalizaton-as unholy a trio as ever
forced a suffering nation to its knees.
The three are closely interwined but the
tariff IS the mother of the other two
Congress could in ten DAYS relieve the
distress of the nation and end the era of
inflated prices by repeating every tariff
duty and opening our markets TO the
products of the world. Without the
tariff the trusts could not exist and with
the trusts out of the way the bubble OF
overcapitalization would be pricked
The subject of overcapitalization is
one on which the public are not as we'll
informed as they should be for their own
interests. The necessity of dividends
being paid on millions Of dollars of
watered stock is potent factor in inhat-
ing prices, but one which would be DOW
erlesS were it not sustained bv the protec-
ton of the tariff wall which shuts out
foreign competition.
There are hopeful signs that out of the
poignancy of their present distress the
people will awaken to the real tluh. In
act, they are doing SO, and the time is
not far distant when an aroused and out
ragged public will sweep away the trio OF
graft that is now expressing them.

ROADS CONSTRUCTED IN 900
Sixty-f1ve Miles of Roads Com
pleted Under the Shoemaker
Road Law.

That 65 miles Of road were completed
during 1909 under the so-called Shoe
maker Road Law, which provides that
the Stale shall pay one-half of the ex-
penses of the improvement, was an
nounced by Mr. Walter Crosby,
Roads Engineer, under the HIGHWAYS
Commission OF the Geological Survey,
in charge of this work, as well as the
chief engineer under the State Loan
Act, who said also that the contracts for
this work aggregated $4Io, 25I.I6
Work under the Highways DIviSi On is
divided into two parts-that in which
the contractor accepts the work as a
speculation and that in which it is under
taken directly by the county officials.
Both kinds are under the direct super
vision of Mr.. Crosby. County officials
undertook 10 o6 miles, while the other
mileage amounted to 26.6o.
Most of the contracts called for mac.
adam from six to eight inches thick
when rolled, although some were bnilt
as well as 1894 miles of oyster shell
macadam.
Up to January I, 1909, ISL miles Of
State aided roads had been actually built,
and paid for, the cost aggregating S547,.
100. During 1909 So miles were com.
pleted and paid for In addition there.
to, "A miles were 50 per cent. completed.
In this list are some roads that have
been accepted since January l. 1910, and
paid for, and the actual road mileage
completed for the year 1909, is placed al
IS, making the total mileage of the roads
built under the Shoemaker or State
aided Act, 40 miles.
This law provides that the State shall
pay half of the expense of constructing
the roads, the rest being charged against
the county in which the improvement i:
made. The counties in turn fall back or
the abutting property owners. forcing
them to assume large part of the coun
tvs share, the remainder being provided
for in the tax levy.
In addition TO the work under the
State-Loan Act, and the State aidec
Act work is ais being done on the
