Wash coal at 1886 per ton. The bid
of Cary, g. Co. had been accepted and
the contract given them on the re-
communication Of the superintendent
Of the water department, he said
In 1911, after he became member
of the council, Mr.. Semmes said Cary
& Co. had again been awarded the
contract to furnish the Banner WASH
coal at SEAS per ton, although anotA-
| er firm had submitted a bid on
| coal, which he believed was as gooo
as the Banner Wash, for S2.4o Per

| During these two years." said Mr..
| Semmes, "tAe saving to the city
/ would have amounted to S72O mad the

and. now we come to his years

"and what do we find? We see that
Cary Co. are no longer agents for
the Banner Wash coal, but find them
bidding on another coal. This time
the bid of Cary & Co. Is SEAS per
ton. while the bid of the Pensacola
supply Co. is s2.46 on Banner Wash
coal.
i This time. The superintendent OF
the water department recommends
!. that the contract be awarded to the

the city this time Is only $50. How

excluded the section referred to in pre-
pairing the plans and specifications, he
continued.
Then. said Mr. Blount, how can
1t be said that the Hatton plans and
profiles were the legal ones when
there were none?"
In a clear and concise manner. Mr..
Blount explained the difference be-
tween an ordinary plan and a working
plan and prof1les and said that where
the trouble lay was in the fact that
the board of bond trustees and Mr..
Rommell had mistaken a plan drawn
by Hatton for an authorized working
plan, which 1t positively was not. In
other words, they had used a mere
diagram showing what streets were to
be paved for a profile.
Mr. Blount said that it had been
stated that at the time the 1911 ordi-
nance was adopted, which the bond
trustees claimed gave the authority to
recognize the Hatton plan, this plan
was not actually on file in the office
of the board of bond trustees. but that
| he would not argue that point. How
ever, he did say that the ordinance,
which it was claimed legalized the
| Hatton plan, was adopted in May, 1909,
whereas the plan, which he held in his
hand, was dated June. 1910, and that
| If they adopted this plan by the ordi-
nance of May, 1909. as 1t was contend :
| ed, they had adopted plan which had
not been drawn.
He said Mr.. Thornton had searched
the records and files, as 1t was his
duty to do, when called upon to fur :
nish a grade and that he had fur
nished the grade upon the legal plans
and that he was. therefore, correct.
OPINION OF CITY ATTORNEY.

for an opinion and said that he be-
lieved that enthusiastically Mr.. Rom
nell and Mr. Lee were right. He die

NIAGARA MADE BY GLACIER
Columbia River Was Damned, and
Had a Fall of Four Hundred Feet
Over Great Cliffs.

That one of the greatest natural
wonders in the world was lost with
the melting of the Okanogan glacier
in the State of Washington, Is the
opinion of government biologists, who
recently have studied portion of the
river bed of the Columbia river in
connection with the Grand coulee, the
great canyon that at one time was
the river bed
When the Columbia river flower

agara insignificant by comparison.
This great river plunged from the up

fall of 400 feet over great cliffs.
Moses lake is believed to have
mel OF the Columbia river. During the
glacial period, recent, as time is meas
ured b ythe geologist, the valleys of
the Northern Cascades and of the
O,-a-ogan highlands were filled with
enormous glaciers, the largest of
which reached the plains before they
were melted in the warmer air of
the lower country.
The greatest of these ice rivers OF
eastern Washington flowed down the
Okanogon valley, which 1t filled to the
depth of hundreds of feet
On reaching the Columbia river val
ley this glacier expanded and seems
not only to have damned the Column
bia, but to have filled its great canyon
for some distance.
The southern limit of this great
Okanogan glacier is marked by a
terminal moraine many miles In
width. The moraine is formed of dirt
and rock material which was push
ed along or carried on its surface and
stranded where the ice melted, and 1t
includes many huge blocks of basalt
and other rocks.
No more impressive scene, the ge-
ologists say, can be found in the Big
Bend country than is presented by
the great cliffs of black basalt below

continually worse and soon spread
