ALL READY To
LET POWER
CONTRACT
WRIGHT AND SWEENEY Sc
CURE BONDS AND COUNCIL
WILL TONIGHT AWARD JOB
OF BUILDING POWER PLANT
TO THEM.

Everything is ready for the
formal acceptance of the bid of
Wright & Sweeney for the build
ing of the tunnel and headworks
of the Nisqually power plant at
the council meeting tonight.
Commissioner McGregor Will
send the bids to the council with
a recommendation that the bid of
Wright & Sweeney be acceptetf.
A resolution to award the eosl-
tract will be prepared by the city
attorneys and it is expected 1t
will be adopted without opposi-
ton. If this is done the commks2
sioner will sign up the contracts
and the contractors will get 70
work as soon as possible.
Mr.. Wright said today that ea1l
arrangements for the bond had
been made and the financial end
of the proposition provided Tor
SO the carrying forward of the
work to completion is assured.
1--WE have been deluged with
telephone messages of congratulate
ton since we placed our bid and
1t was found to be the lowest, !"
said Mr.. Wright. "The sentiment
of the community seems to re
very favorable to us doing the
work and people generally express
satisfaction that a local firm got
the job. We shall buy all our
supplies and everything we can
get right in Tacoma for the en-
tire work"
There were rumors this morn
ing that an effort would be maze
by the agents of the power trust
to make a final bluff to head off
the beginning of work by Offer
ing a ten-year contract at a ridic-
ulously low price to the city, but
1t is conceded that the council viii
not dare to consider anything but
to go ahead with the building of
the plant.

brings Mrs. Asquith, wife of the
premier, into prominence as WELD

that for the prize of social prefer

bold, firm stand against the
lords to vacillating policy which
threatens to result in the early
dissolution of the new parliament

Tacoma Beat Seattle and Portland
In Freight Car Traffic

According to the January report
of the Pacific Northwest Demur-
rage bureau Tacoma handled more
cars of freight than either Seattle
or Portland in January. Tacoma
on the Hill lines handled 1886
cars of freight; Seattle on the same
lines handled 1861 and Portland
on all lines handled 1898.
If the Milwaukee business were
added to the list the Tacoma
freight would have run nearly l.
500 cars above Seattle and would
have left Portland by couple of
thousand.

Woman With the Serpent's
Tongue" In that sensational
poem he charged her with having
sacrificed her friends upon the
altar of her ambition.
1t has been rumored many times
that the influence of Mrs. Asquith
had much to do with the advance
ment of her husband to his pres
emit office.
Before her marriage she was a
brilliant figure in society and rose
from rather mediocre position.
Now the critics make the open
allegation that through her social
ambition the king has played up
on the premier and caused his
change of front.

but that now that 1t is on, ii
should be fought out.
Gompers declared that the
strike resulted from what he call
ed attempts of the transit company
to destroy the carmen's union. He
said that the strike was forced by
the company in order to crush the
union, and that the men had to
strike to preserve their organiza-
Ition.
Gompers said that it is hardly
liekly that a general strike OF
unions in Philadelphia will be
called, but that these unions will
give financial and moral aid to the
strikers.
