Nevada is building i ne penitentiary-that is, will build 1t II tn
money holds out; but the beginning is ct very suspicious. Among
m requisites OF a prison are prison cells, OF course. The state board
,f orison commissioners advertised for bids or ellis, embracing IN
he advertisement exact and complete specifications. The bids have
been opened and a job that was to cost o IL the outside less than

the lowest bidders. All the bids were from reputable houses, and al
done according to specifications. AS between thu reliability OF he Dd
ders there n o choice, and under these conditions it was naturally
expected that the board would accept the lowest bid. ut what "a
the result? After many meetings OF varying duration, witt tn eager
and gracious representatives OF the bidders at all times OF the ground
with the glad hand and the whispering voice., the award va finally
made-and made o to h lowest bidder, whose BID w "a slooo4'' ''

The state prison board comprises the attorney general, the se're
tarv of state and the governor. When the vote a taken the Cover
nor moved to accept the lowest bid; that defeated and he W
opposing members voted in the face Of the governors protest to a-

their action ven more reprehensible a that the state engineer had

the state engineer. He also recommended hat the lesser ou DC d"

The two members of the board who voted for the "sweetened
bid made no explanation except that the makers OF the bid were a
Reno firm while the others were outsiders. But this is OF suth-

$4,000 difference as against a home firm, W would lave approved OF
such an award. But some sentiment cannot sufficiently explain the
action OF the board in making the successful bidders a present OF
$4,000 This must be explained upon some other hypothesis
The tot from Carson is that when the successful bidder was
thanking the board for the CONT act, Governor Dckerson spoke up
and declared that the contractors had nothing to thank him Tor as lie

Rains DELAY
SUGARCARG0
Downfall On Hawaii and Maui
Stops Harvesting for
Nearly a Week.

Rains on the islands of Hawaii
and Maui have held back the 1911
sugar shipments per eptibly, accord
ing to A. NJ. Novel; manager of the
Sugar Factors Company. The recent
downfall on the Islands has inter
fercd with harves, ing. not seriously,
but enough to delay the shipment OF
the Hawaiian staple.
The American-Hawaii steamship
Alaskan, which left Kahului last
evening for Salina Cruz. is carrying
the first shipment of 1911 sugar.
This vessel was originally billed to
take 1000 tons, but could not as
semble that much and left with
about two thousand less than was
scheduled.
The American ship Erskine NJ.
Phelps is now in port, the first of
the sugar fleet that wiz carry its
part of the 1911 crop around the
Horn. However. Manager Novel;
stated this morning, that the Phelps
will not be able to get cargo until
the latter part of January. Loading
will not begin until January 10, ana
1t will take the big windiammer two
weeks to MI her gerat hold.
Grinding on the Is and of Oahu Is
somewhat slow thil year Waialua
started last Monday. and Eva is due
TO begin grinding today Once the
season is started. the sugar Will pour
in faster than It can be taken away
and the local warehouses will get the
overflow for temporary storage.
The delay in grinding caused by
the rain is evened up by its beneii-
cial effeNts on the growing crops.
The crop of 1912 will benefit hugely
by the heavy downpours.

NEW FIRE STATION
 OPENED TONIGHT
FOUNTAIN HEIGHT WILL NOW FOR FIRST TIME HAVE ADEQUATE FIRE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS IS BUILT OF BRICK

The new $3oO0 strictly modern fire station at Fountain Heights will be dedi- cated this evening at o'clock, when speeches will be delivered by Mayor Frank P. O'Brien and others. The new structure Is made of brick and Is on Thirteenth street. between Twelfth and Thirteenth avenues. The new company, No Il, will be explained by T. NJ. Jonoes.
 'The new station added to the Birming- ham fire department at Fountain Heights has long been needed said Chief Bonnet yesterday because the district which will be covered by the new company was formerly covered by companies 5 and 6 and the run was too far for either of these to make effective fire fighting pos sible.
 ..The company will be equipped with a triple combination fire engine. chemi- cal, and ladder truck The wiring has just been completed and the new com pany will be ready for work today"
 The new building is two story and is equipped with a library, reading room, baths, private lockers and everything for the comfort of the nremen. The Fountain Heights district has not been having proper fire protection In the past on ac- count of the hills and the long runs, but with new No. Ii in the midst of the dis trict it will be one of the best protected communities in the city Mayor o'Brien says the new station has been built at saving of s15OO under the lowest bid of fered by contractors for its erection.
