terday a Graphic representative was told that in reading it she had found it contained some valuable histori- cal facts that had been left out of the present histories on this subject and those of the school used by pu- Ills. She also stated that the au- thor of this book, Mrs. Pearce, was living in this city at present, and that she would make an effort to discover CT and learn some more facts in regard to the book. Since the dis covery of the book it has been sug- gested by some of the Daughters of the Confederacy that the book should be revived and copy sent to every Daughter of the Confederacy. It is also proposed that the valuable his- tcrical gems disclosed in the volume should be extracted and turned over to the historical committee of the U. D. C., for preservation. Many books have been found that have good ac- counts of the memorable war, but none have so vivid account as that of the book recently discovered.

BILL FOR CONDUIT
SETTLED AT LAST
Davis & HeuSer Claim COmprO-
missed by Board of
Public Works.

Settlement of the Davis & Heuser
bill for the cement conduit for City
creek through West North Temple
street was brought about yesterday at
a special meeting Of the board of pub
lie works when a compromise was
reached In the matter Of allowance Of
extra excavations necessary because Of
the blunders of the city engineer in
making up the original contract.
BY the terms Of the compromise ef-
fected yesterday Davis & Heuser are to
receive 90 cents a cubic yard for the
excavating. which was about 1000
yards in excess OF the estimate Of the
city engineer. No payment is to be
made by the city for cleaning out the
conduit after it had been flooded by
the high waters Of City creek, and the
city viii pay only the regular contract
price for the excavation, instead of the
SO a cubic yard at which the work was
billed by the contractors.
This contract was signed by Davis &
Heuser more than two years ago and
provided for a rush job. The city en-
gineer made a poor guess and no real
estimate Of the amount of excavating
that would be necessary, and, because
Of this extra work. the contractors
were unable to finish the job within
the time limit imposed by the con-
tract Floods came and the work was
then held up indefinitely. but, because
Of the city engineers blunder, there
was no chance for enforcing the PEN
atty clause IN the contract.
BY the terms OF the settlement the
contractors will get pay for excavating
about 1000 yards extra at 90 cents. or
$4,000. The item of 1000 yards Is TO
be checked by the city engineer, how
ever. and IL is possible that there will
be some slight change in the amount
The bill for S3,615 presented by the
contractors for cleaning out the con-
duit after the floods was disallowed,
but the board passed the final esti-
mate of the regular work amounting
to SS.513.4O. which was allowed.
Davis & Heuser said last night that
they were willing to accept the COM
promise settlement offered by the
board of works for the reason that
they needed the money and could not
afford to wait two or three years while
courts. Members of the board OF
works also expressed the opinion that
the contractors had a good case
against the city for collection Of MOI g
than the amount offered I'm case they
took the matter TO the courts.
The board Of work passed estimates
In favor OF the James Kennedy Con-
struction company amounting TO S14.-
1859, these being for sidewalk and
sewer extensions.
