The contract for the erection of the proposed Union high school buildings was awarded yesterday afternoon to the firm of olsen and Graf. local con tractors. for S11o53o The contracts Were signed late in the afternoon and preparations made for the bonding of the contractors in the sum of $3O,OOO.
 Bids for heating the building were cIso received the award being made To the Machinery & Electrical Co of Los Angeles, for $1l.97O.
 The bid of olsen & Graff was the lowest offered for the buildings and the amount of it was $l2S.6Si The award was made for the lesser sums by reason Of changes made by the board after the bidding. All the five bidders on the entire job submitted their figures on the proposed erection of an administration building. . science hall, a building devoted to domestic science and parts, power house and shops, and gymnasium. Bids were also called for on two kinds Cf roof ing material, asbestos being ihe cheap CT.
 After the bids were considered the hoard decided not to build the gym nasium at this time and also made some changes in the shops that lessened the expense Of construction. Furthermore it was decided to use the asbestos roof ing As the olsen & Graf rid was submitted providing for the higher priced roofing there was a reduction in that item of over $500. which with the changes in the shops and the de- cision not tO build the gymnasium at this time, reduced the total of the lowest bid by over thirteen thousand dollars, an amount the board believes will almost pay for the furnishings of the new buildings
 The bidders were all quite close to- gether as they varied over a range of about S10.00O and the olsen & Graf bid was slightly less than the lowest bid under the former advertising. all bids being rejected at that time Each of the five bidders submitted figures on each of the five proposed buildings, so it was an easy matter to deduct from any bid for the changes made by the board
 Following are the bids submitted for the construction of the buildings:

REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Pensioners Remark, However, Left
Young Minister Somewhat in
the Dark

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of young min
lister who had recently taken charge
of small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits of
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloquence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such a way that it left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one of the
most faithful attendants at all serv-
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are so in
structive. Do you believe it, We never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

Nicaragua she agreed to surrender her pro-
tectorate and recognize the sovereignty OF
Nicaragua.
Nicaragua in turn agreed to grant complete
local self-government to the Mosquito tribes,
then of blood largely diluted with strains OF
white and Jamaica negro, and using Eng
lish as their official language. Nicaragua
also bound itself to make free port OF
Greytown, at the mouth Of the navigable river

discharges into the Caribbean sea, and for
ten years to pay annually to the Mosquito
Indians a subsidy of $4,000.
After 10 years less than half of the sub
sidy had been paid, while in violation of the
treaty Nicaragua had imposed duties at Grey
town under the pretext that they were to
pay the subsidy, and had introduced gov

much like taking a dollar from one pocket and
putting it into another. That's all right so
far as it goes, but when the laborer-generally
an Indian or a Jamaican-thinks he has too
much to do he quits. He can live without
work. and works merely to please his foreman.
The foreman who can get the good will of the
Indian is the valuable man. The superin-
