Three and One Half Million
Government Order.

SEATTLE, April 2O-Word was
received from Detroit yesterday that
the lowest bid on one of the largest
single rail lumber contract offered
in several weeks was made by the
White Star Lumber Company, of Ell
ma. The contract calls for 100000
feet of lumber to be used by the
government in a new lock to be built
in the Sault Ste. Marie canal.
The order was sought by a large
number of Washington and Oregon
firms. The specifications called al
most exclusively for large timbers,
most of which will be 12x12, twen-
ty feet and longer. The order was
such that West coast lumbermen
We're about the only manufacturers
in the United States able to fill the
bill. Delivery must commence with
in sixty days from the time the con-
tract is let, and the timber must all
be delivered within ninety days from
the date of the first shipment.
So far as has been learned the

ceived at Seattle was that the White
Star Lumber Company submitted the
lowest bid. The price was said to
be $11.25 per thousand at the mill.

ALDRICH TO QUIT
Announces Determination Not tt
Run for Reelection After Term
Expires

WASHINGTON. April 20.-Sena-
tor Aldrich authorized the announce
ment tonight that he would not be
a candidate for reelection to the
senate, and that he would positively
retire at the expiration of his pres
ent term, on March 3, 1911.
This announcement was made to a
representative of the Associated
Press. II have decided not to be
a candidate again" said the senator.
"Since something Of my plans have
leaped out already, l would be glad
to have you make that statement
Mr.. Aldrich talked freely of his
determination to retire. III health
alone dictated his decision. One
week ago the senator went to New
York, where he consulted with his
physicians. They were insistent that
he rid himself of the more eXacting
of his burdens and devote a large
share Of his time to out door exer-
cises. He could see no way to lead
such a life if he accepted another
term of six years in the senate, and
therefore he will retire.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Special Meeting Well Attended
Water Business Talked Over
and Committee APPOINTED

The city council room was wel1
filled Tuesday night at the special
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce, as in proof of the fact tnat
the businessmen of the city are in
terested in municipal affairs, des-
pite the apathy at the recent cleo
tions
The meeting was called to discuss
a complaint of some mills that an eX-
orbitant charge was being made for
water, and the entire water business
was pretty well discussed
Supt. McDOugall gave a thorough
description of the water system, its
workings, cost and earnings, and
quoted the meter rates now in force
as compared with the former charg-
es for this service. He cited the in
equalities of the previous rates and
said that the large consumers of
Aberdeen were procuring their wa
ter for less money than was charg-
ed in other like cities.
While holding that the rates were
none too high, Supt. McDougall ad-
mitted the plant was netting about
$4,000 Il year above all operating
expenses, which caused some to think
that if such was the case and a private
corporation owned the plant "a howl
for reduced rates would go up so
loud it might be heard at Olympia.
The discussion was confined en-
tirely to the matter of water cost
to consumers; no data was given
concerning the management of the
plant, nor whether its management
was economically conducted or 9TH
erwise. This was left to a commit
tee, consisting of S. X. Bowes, p. S.
Locke, f.. G. Jones, Clarence A. Lii
lie and w. r. Macfarlane, who will
with Mayor Benn and the water
committee, examine into the work.

its management, capacity and posi-

T. QUESTION OF vERACITY
Sergeant Tribbitts Insists judge Bush
Released SoldowsM and the Judge
Is Equally Emphatic.

Night Sergeant Tribbitts, who re-
leased a county prisoner. charged
with grand larceny from the city
Jail last Friday night, has given out
a statement to the press, in which
he says he is certain that the voice
over the telephone, ordering the re-
lease, was that of Judge Bush, and
Pete Mcclure, the complaining wit
ness, and Jack Huston, an ex-bar-
tender, print affidavits swearing pos
itively that Mcclure visited the
Judge that night and that they stood
by the phone in his home while he
ordered he release. Ed. Dolan. who
is McGuire's partner in the saloon,
has publicly denied that he had any
thing to do with the release of the
prisoner.
On the other hand, Judge Bush
positively says he did not see Nc
Guire or anybody else that night
about the case, and that he retired
to bed at o'clock. (The prisoner
was locked up at S:15). Mrs. Bush,
who was i'll that evening, corrobor-
ates the judge. She occupied a
couch in the parlor of their home
that night until II O'Clock. (Soldow-
ski was released about 10) and that
she knows that nobody called for
the judge, and that he held no con-
versation over the phone.
This makes the matter a question
of veracity. The burden of proof
rests upon Tribbitts and MCGUIRE
Aside from the well known reputa-
ton of the pioneer judge. he is alb
solutely without a motive for false
hood in the matter. Had he ordered
the release, he would have been
wholly within his authority. and
was obliged to account to nobody
for his action, much less lie about
it, If in his judgment the man
should be released, it was entirely
within his province to so order, then,
why, it is asked, should he lie about
it?
Mcguire complained that Soldow-
ski stole his diamond pin-and the
pin has not yet been returned. He
had the man arrested, swore to the
crime, and without recovering his
property, chases after somebody to
have the man released. What for?
Sergeant Tribbitts in his state
ment. devotes large space to abuse
of SOldowski'S attorney. What for?
Councilman Dolan states in print
that he did not know of the mans
arrest, yet the Herald is reliably in
formed that Mcguire and Dolan talk
ed the arrest over in their saloon,
and that Dolan suggested that he be
released right away What for?
The public is asking if it is possi-
tle for criminal to secure his re-
lease from the city Jail on telephone
orders? The whole affair has bad
look, and it is up to the authorities
of the city-or grand jury-to
probe the matter and throw on the
light.

B0ASTED TWENTIETH CENTURY
CIVILIZATION A FARCE.
The Vast Sums of rioneV Expended

would, Ii Used for Peace ful prOc-
rcSS, Change Conditions on the

The New York Peace society has
issued an illustrated work on the
cost Of war, which should be in the
hands of every lover of peace. These
sell for two cents per copy, or 81 per
100, or 81 per 1000 copies. The
work shows on it's first page the pic
ture of new American battleship
which cost $12, 100000, and on other
pages shows by pictures and figures
what $12,000,000 would buy of ar
ticles that would benefit the human
race. Among some of the things
mentioned are:
FIFTY manual training schools
could be built and equipped with
necessary tools and appliances for
the cost of a battleship, teaching
the rudiments of trade to $4,000
young people each year.
THE cost of battleship would
build a macadam road of approved
construction between the cities of
Chicago and New York"
AN investment of $9,000,00O
(three-fourths of the cost of bat
tleship) used in the construction of
irrigation works in Salt river val
ley. Arizona, would reclaim 100000
acres, provide hom5/ for 5000 fam
lilies, and increase the value of tax
able property not less than $24,00O,-
900.
"The cost of two battleships is
only one million dollars less than
tho estimated cost of making the
proposed 6-foot channel in the Mis-
sissippi river from st. Paul to the
mouth of the Missouri.

Washington, d. c., the finest library
building in the world, was built for
little over half the cost of bat
tleship, and is mainted for three
fourths of the cost of keeping a bat

is it not about time that we were
calling upon congressman to vote
against appropriations for more bat
tleships which are obsolete and en-
tirely worthless in a few years, and
spend more money for irrigation, es-
tablishing farm training schools,
building better highways, and assist
ing the people who are the producers
of the wealth and the food of the
country? We don't need more bat
tleships, but we do need better roads,

Well" said Mr.. Shoup, you see
some people were afraid that three
story building would be Objectionable
to the owners of one-story buildings,
so we decided to leave out the third
story and finish up the fourth and
fifth. Nobody's feelings will be hurt
that way" And the fellow seemed
to believe it.
