his exhibit in the hall over Castle &

There was persistent rumor the

Coulter had sold his masterpiece,

Beckley for $4,000. but it proves to
have been too good to be true, as the
artist said this morning when ques-

thing if this great picture could be
retained in Honolulu, which it is
hoped will be the maritime center Of

Panama Canal
There are many other pieces of
smaller dimensions than the caster
piece, which would enrich appropriate

yet left for patrons of art to make
selections from Mr.. Coulter's exhibit

Hardesty Gives His Side - . .
I When Hardesty was seen this after
! noon he stated that he was engaged in
/ the work merely as day laborer. for
/ which service he was TO receive five
dollars a day, as shown by the bills
submitted to the engineer, and that
for that reason the law prohibiting
an official from engaging in compen-
satory work for the government did
not apply to him. ~. + ..
81 worked for Mr.. Devine six or
seven days for five dollars day he
stated this afternoon, and / had no
part in the contract side of the job.
The only trouble about this is that it
costs more than the engineer figured,
whic hwas due to the fact that we
struck layers of rock, which had to
be removed, and ! think Mr. White
house didn't like il because we did it
without saying anything to him. Then
another thing which caused the extra
expense was the putting in Of a double
curb which / found to be desirable
'tThis whole thing will blow over
right away think when Mr. White
house knows the facts about the mat
ter he will pass the bills, My only
connection with the work, say. was
as laborer, working for five dollars
a day, and having nothing whatever
TO do with the contract part of it.
That was Devine's part. !" - vi. B..

HARDESI.Y. UNDER FIRE
Continued from Paae III

der, assistant county. engineer, went
over the work and reported that. $3.50
was all that it properly SHOULD cost.
This came to light when the bills
for the construction of sidewalk and
curbing were presented to the city
engineer, and when the latter, it is
stated, fatty refused to approve the
amounts, stating that the sum charg-
ed for the work was exorbitant
The work was let out on the, com
mission basis ostensihly TO D. R. De-
vine, but it is said at We road depart
ment the work was done under the d.
rect supervision of Hardesty. and the
vouchers show that the latter valued
his services at five dollars a day,
which is the same amount as that
charged by Devine RS ... r.:
Three bills for the work were put
in. The first was for $315.70, the sec
ond for $4224, and the thirdsfor $24.-
30, making a total of $38224, which is
considerably more than double the
amount the work was expected to
cost. aE- ....s
1t is the custom IN granting com
mission work" to allow the contractor
ten per cent of the total cost, provid-
ing he furnishes his own tools, and
five per cent if the city furnishes the
tools. In this case it is, said Deyine
and Hardesty we're given the tools by
the city, yet they figured their work
on the ten per cent basis, as appears
from the vouchers.
1t is pointed out that not only is
Hardesty a supervisor. but in addi-
ton to that, as a member of the road
committee. it wouid be his duty to
pass on the work. This he has not
yet done, due to the action of the
engineers, it was stated today.
He is making efforts. 1t was stated
This morning, to settle the matter with
the engineering department. hut so

Cotton Can't Come Up, and Replant-
ing Is the Order. That Up Is
Dying. Corn Below Average.
Editor Dawson News: Farmers
throughout this entire section fear
serious damage to the cotton crop
on account of the unusually low tenn
peratures fol- the past three weeks,
when the mercury ranged between
3S and So, and showed SO at O'Clock
this morning. A great part of the
first planting failed to terminate to
a stand, necessitating replanting,
which is being done as fast as pos
sible; planting seed are in great de-
mand asd very scarce, and no doubt
some prepared cotton land will go to
corn. The second planting is yet in
the ground, and can't terminate, ow-
ing to extremely dry cold weather.
The outlook shows very little April
cotton, and what has escaped is dy-
ing, so this section can only count on
having the greater part May cotton.
The situation is regarded as very
serious. The original decrease in cot
ton acreage averaged % per cent in
this section. Dat crops are almost a
complete failure. Corn prospects are
below an average. w. H. GORSUCH.
