The baltimore and Ohio Railroad
COMPANY through w. w. Wood, its
industrial agent, gives West V.r-
sinia another fine advertisement
through the Manufacturers Record
of baltimore, Md, by having page
of that valuable publication devoted
TO this state with the title, 'iCoal OIL
West Virginia against the coal OF
Europe in which Mr.. Wood shows
that West virginia has within eleven
square miles as much coal as Great
Britain, Germany, France, Austria
and belgium combined. Mr.. Wood
not only points out the superiority
OF West Virginia in respect to it's
coal but also dwe1ls in some detail
on the other natural wealth of the
state. The advertisement SO
strongly appeals to investors that
it is a matter OF qualification to
every West virgin!an to have the
states natural resources so we'll ex-

says:
Great Britain, Germany. France.
Austria and Belgium, with COM
bined population OF nearly 10000
900, have an aggregate coal land
area Of 1901 square miles. West
virginia alone, has a coal area OF
1900 square miles. And West
coal is nearer the sur
face and in wider veins, SO that
while in area 1t is practically equal
to the entire coal area OF all the
European countries named, Its
probably far exceeds their

CONTRACTOR KICKS.
TO GOOD PURPOSE
lack Lucas Objects to Privacy
About Bids for the College
of Hawaii Job.

Contractors are ready nowadays To
stand up for their rights when there
seems anything a little irregular in the
opening of bids on public contracts. j
Lucas of the Honolulu Planning Mil
Company showed some impatience yes
terday when the bids were to be opend
for the construction of the new College
of Hawaii building.
The following are the figures:
LOrd-Young Engineering Co, .. .$65,7OO
Pacific Engineering Co........ 65T25
Concrete Construction Co... $4,000
Honolulu Planning Mil Co.. 1880
The scene was laid in the oaiees Of
Ripley 6 Reynolds, the architects.
Judge II. E. Cooper is the chairman OF
the board of regents Of the college, but
he was not present, and no one could
get in touch with him. Professor Gil
more was the only representative OF
the college present.
The hour was set at twelve noon, and
as soon as the sounds proclaiming that
the hour had come had died away Mr..
Lucas Immediately wanted to know
when they were going to start the pro-
eeedings. Mr.. Ripley stated that he
would have to wait for Judge Cooper.
Mr.. Lucas stated that he would object
to any further bids being received.
None, however, was forthcoming.
Time wore on, but there was no fur.
ceremony being performed. Mr.. Luz
cas- patience was fast ebbing away
and happening to glance in the room
in which Mr.. Ripley was seated, he saw
that gentleman opening the bids. The
contractor Immediately protested. He
stated that he had a right to see the
bids opened, and so had every other
contractor who had submitted tenders.
This lead TO dialogue between Mr..
Ripley and Mr.. Lucas. Mr.. Ripley, In
reply to q question as to why he was
opening the bids, said that he wanted
to refer them TO Judge Cooper. The
bids, however, would not be made pub
lie, as there was no authorized repre-
sentative Of the board Of regents pres
ont.
Mr.. Lucas Immediately answered that
In that circumstances Mr.. Ripley had no
right TO open the bidsi but that II he
did open them, then the contractors
had a right 10 be present.
President Gilmore declined 10 be
brought Into the matter IN any way
Shortly afterwards, however, the bids
we're given out BY NJ, Ripley, ana Mr.
itueaa learned that be waa the Highest
