WILL RECEIVE BIDS ON BRIDGE OVER
 FINAL CREEK
But Two Estimates Placed in Hands of City Clerk
 for Aldermen

At tonight s session of the city coun- cil. the city fathers will be able to form good estimate of the cost of the proposed wagon bridge across Pinal creek at Miners Union hall, as at that time, bids for the construction of the new bridge will be opened.
 Although it was expected that num- Der of bids would be received for the construction of this bridge, only two were filed with the city clerk by the close of the time specified, at noon yes terday. It is possible that other bids may be presented to the council to- night, but whether or not they can be legally accepted is a question which has not as yet been decided.
 The two bids which are on file are from Thomas & Post, of the Thomas Bridge system of Los Angeles and the Fl Paso Bridge & Iron company. It was expected that the Missouri Valley Bridge & Iron company would place a bid for the work, but J. V. Jenkins, rep resenting this concern, was unable to draw up plans and specifications with in the time required and as the result no bid was filed by him.
 It has been rumored that the pre- vailing price for bridge construction may cause the bids which have been filed to sum up to total of about $2OOOO, a prohibitive cost for the pro posed Broad street bridge. If such is the case it is not unlikely that all bids will be rejected and a narrower bridge constructed. What the bids are will of course not be made known until tonight. when they are formally opened.
 Aside from the bridge matter, little business will be handled by the council tonight, according to present indica- tions.

One of the most successful social and financial events that has ever occurred in Miami was the masquerade ball at the skating rink Tuesday night. Over three hundred people crowded the ball room and it was not until late hour that the crowd diminished to make dancing comfortable. The crowded condition of the hall demonstrated the need of larger auditorium for such affairs.

Takethe Post-Office
 Out of Politics

In attempting to charge up the deficit in his Department against the magazines the Postmaster General has done the countrya genuine, even If an unintentional, service. He has drawn attention to the necessity for thorough reorganization of the Postal Department. He has emphasized the im- portance of taking the Post Office out of politics for all time.
 {, The Fifty-ninth Congress authorized an inves- tgation of postal affairs, and joint commission, headed by Senator Penrose and Representative Overstreet, made thorough investigation of the whole subject. As result, the Overstreet bill, which contains many excellent recommendations, was presented. It IS not from guesswork that we have concluded that the Department IS in need of radical reorganization, but from the official reports of this Joint Congressional Postal Commission and of the disinterested accountants hired by 1t investigate the business methods of the Depart ment. We quote from these reports remember ing that the findings and criticisms are not ours, but those of Congressional Commission and its authorized agents.

figures on the beach of the island wa
wing palm branches and apparently
pointing. He called the attention of
Langford to the figures, and suggest
ed that the inhabitants were trying to
show an opening through the barrier.
Following the indicated direction
presently smooth water was discov-
cred. Langford headed the boat for
1t. The men bent to their oars, and
soon parted the quiet waters of the
lagoon. The two figures stood In
plain view upon the beach still too far
for those in the Boat to make out who
they were. Langford could only see
that one was taller than the other:
that both were dressed in some sort
OF loose tunic that fell to the knees
and left the arms bare. He was dis
appointed, and yet hopeful. The sus-
pense was almost unbearable. The
men were doing their utmost, seeing
the anxiety in his face, but their ut
most was too slow for the impatient
man.

decks of cruising ship for over
year
Something's to whether it was
Providence or not he was somewhat
doubtful in his mind afterward-
brought Langford on deck before his
usual time for rising. The watch was
in charge of rather sleepy, stupid
second officer, unimaginative and UNI
observant. He had not noticed the
land which it was difficult to see from
the deck at any rate, especially as it
did not lie between the yacht and the
sun, and as it had not been reported
from the masthead, he knew nothing
of it.
Langford had found sleep impos-
sible. The year of search, the constant
disappointment, the pressing sense of
mystery, the feeling that his conduct
was indeed irreparable had preyed
upon him. He was thin. worn, nervous
and irritable. He walked up and down
the deck in the cool of the morning
thinking. For three years practically
he had had this woman before his
eyes as the goal of his efforts Now
she was gone, and he must concen-
trate his life upon something else. He
gazed languidly and indifferently
about the horizon, his Impractical eye
noticing nothing for time. Sudden
ly, however, staring off to starboard
listlessly during a pause in his steady
tramp, he thought he caught glimpse
of light, He looked idly in the direc-
ton whence the reflection had come
for few moments and saw it again;
thin cloud of smoke, or was it haze
rose above it. He was puzzled by it,
of course, and stood staring The con-
centration in his gaze, he thought, dis
covered to him a cloudy blink in the
gray of the dawn which might mean
land. He knew there was no land
charted in those seas, for he had care
fully studied the chart the night be-
fore, saying nothing to anyone, for he
had become somewhat sensitive about
the matter.
He ran down the companion ladder
into his cabin and fetched thence a
new and powerful glass, which, upon
his return to the deck, he focused
upon the distant point of light. BY
the aid of those powerful binoculars
he made out what it was. He was
man of quick decision and purpose.
He called the officer to him, pointed
to the light, and handed the glass to
the man in question.
what do you make of that, Mr.
Hoffman,"
The officer took quick look
through the glasses, handed them back
to their owner, and said laconically:
Land! Fire! Smoke, sir"
Head the yacht to that island at
once"
VERY good, sir" said the officer,
turning to the man at the wheel and
ordering the helm to be put aport
The yachts bows swung slowly
round until the island and the light
were both dead ahead
Nov, Mr.. Hoffman," said Lang
ford, when the maneuver was com
pleted, who is at the masthead?"
"Ill see, sir" answered the second
officer, stepping forward.
Bring him to me-" said the owner
as the officer turned away.
In few moments the officer came
back to the quarterback followed by
one of the seamen. The man looked
very much frightened, for Langford
was In towering passion, and when
he was in passion he was not
pleasant spectacle.
Did you see that island yonder?"
began the owner, fiercely.

The Iona Search.


Valentine Arthur Langford was
Ply pacing the quarter deck of his
