slight exception. The ten per

sheep in all counts of the state
applied also to Benewah county

there were only lS sheep reported
from the county and this was the
only change made from the as

Ia large sum of money as is con-
templated in the engineers spec
iiications. After their trip up
to the Thorn creek dam several
.of the bidders expressed surprise
that the city was spending so
much money improving the pro-
Ject and stated that the money
was simply being thrown away.
Their talk was so strong that
three of the councilmen went up
there yesteday to look the situa-
tion over.
They found that there was
practically no water above the
Thorn creek dam and only about
an inch and a half of water in the
bottom of the intake pipe. They
found conditions better at Cedar
creek but even there the six inch
intake pipe was less than half full.
On their return one of the coun-
cilmen said that he never was so
surprised in his life as at the
change there and he could see no
reason for putting in a ten inch
pipe when there is not water
enough to fill a six inch pipe.
Mr.. Jaqueth, Ibe engineer who
has been engaged to have charge
of the improvements, made a
lengthy report last fall, which is
on file, in which he reported
against eXpending any money ON
the Thorn creek system and stat
ed that there was not water
enough there to warrant it and
the present condition of the
water seems to bear out the truth
of his report.
If the facts are as stated il
would seem that even with the
contemplated impkyrcsaents the
city will have to spend upon the
pumping plant in the ST. Joe for
its supply of water and, if SO, the
the pumping plant would be
ample to supply the demand.

Water System
Bids Opened
FOUR OF THE BIDS ARE VERY CLOSE
Contractors Express Wonder That City Expend
Money On Cedar and Thorn Creeks

The city council held a special
meeting Monday evening for the
purpose of receiving bids for
making the contemplated i'm
provements on the water system
for the city. There were eight
bids received and as the specif-
cations called for prices ON each
unit of the work it took consid-
cradle time to read them all.
Only few of the bids were total
ed and after they were all read
a motion was made that they be
referred to the water committee,
the mayor and the city engineer
to be figured out and the COM
mittee will meet this afternoon
for that purpose.
From the figures obtainable
last night the bids were approx
imately as follows:

Four of the bids were so much
higher on their face that the
bidders acknowledged that they
were out Of the race and asked to
have their certified checks re-
turned and stated that they would
leave this morning.
The four bids that on their
face appeared to be so close that
the bidders believed that after
they were gone over and analized
and compared by the committee
they would have a chance were
those Of the Security Bridge Co.,
G.. A. Burnett, w. L. Geist and
Carlson, Shridehl & Anderson.
The representatives of these COM
panies are remaining until after
the meeting of the committee
this afternoon.
It will be noted that the bid of
w. l.. Geist appears to be among
the low ones. Remembering the
sewer contract of two years ago
a majority of the taxpayers will
strongly oppose the council Civ
ing him the contract even if his
| bid should prove the lowest.
From the talk heard last even-
ing among the bidders and some
of the councilmen it would seem
doubtful that the council would
be warranted in expending such

err Cornell l. the Strongest.

Chicago, Nov. Whether or not
Cornell is the strongest football team
in the country disturbed many rooters
yesterday The question was the
cause Of many a bloodIess argument in
Chicago and in the camps Of the eley-
ems mentioned Reports from Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Illinois and Chicago
were unanimous that each of these
should be counted in if any national
title was at stake.
Those who took the western end Of
the argument seemed TO think that
Minnesota is the one team which could
handle the Big Red aggregation, as
the Gophers' style Of play would be
more troublesome than any other to
Cornell This may be disputed on the
Midway for instance, but it looks as
if the Mortimer would have the call.
This dope may be entirely upset next
Saturday at Minneapolis when Chicago
clashes with Williams men, but, I'M
less Coach Stage has more up his
sleeve than he had in the Wisconsin
game, and he had plenty in that, he
will ne up against it.
II was universally agreed by critics
that the western teams have a faster
attack than Cornell. but that they lack
that grinding power which erumpled
the Wolverines In Barrett, Collins
and Shiverick the Ithacans also boast
three backfield men whom 1t is hard
to match in the west. Pogue of Illi-
nois comes nearest to Barrett in eff
fectiveness. but the Illini star has not
the power in his attack that the Cor
nell quarterback showed.
Byers of Wisconsin would probably
be in the same class as Collins OF
Cornell had the former had that splen-
did interference which the latter was
given. There is no one in the west
who matches with Shi7erick in the
kicking department, but there are sew
erai who stack up with him in general
ground gaining, and this is not taking
any credit away from the former Chi
cago prep player.
