SAN FRANCISCO
firm BIDS Low
ON HARBOR JOB
Standard American Dredging
Company so Per Cent Un-
der Local Tenders

One big surprise was sprung at IL
o'clock this morning in the office of
the United States engineer, when Maj.
r. r. Raymond, major of engineers, In
charge of the local office, opened bids
for dredging that portion of the har-
Dor around and near the quarantine
wharf. " ... " 4.
The Standard American Dredging
Company, with headquarters in San
Francisco, was the lowest bidder, at
239 cents per cubic yard. This conf
pany's bid was nearly 80 cents yard
less than that of the Hawaiian
Dredging Company, which bid SO cents
a cubic yard, while the Lord-Young
Engineering Company turned in a bid
of 81 cents, almost 40 cents a yard
more than the San Francisco firm.
The Standard is a reliable firm, I"
said Maj Raymond in commenting CT
the astonishingly low bid it made,
"and has done a great deal of work
for the government, including all the
work at Los Angeles had charge of.
t has performed contracts at Tampa,
fla, and other work on the Gulf coast,
also work for the Mexican govern
ment." -- ~
Maj. Raymond estimates that it viii
be fully five months before actua.
work on the contract can be started
There is an appropriation of $S0,0@
for the contract, which calls for the
removal of 81 900 cubic yards. TIE
job will take about a year to COM
plete. 49,, II
The contract is in three subdivi-
sions, Fl, which will be dredged first;
l, the section Immediately around the
quarantine wharf, which is to BE
moved back out of the way, and G, a.
much of which will be dredged as the
funds available will permit. -.
The low bid of the Standard Ameri
can concern will make possible dredg.
ing many more yards than it was ex.
pected would be possible. ......

Urged
TO GET behind
TRAINING CAMP

"The Campaign for PunchEoWl" will
come to climax at the Commercial
Club at noon tomorrow when several
speakers will talk about this citizen
training camp idea. II is expected
that announc ement will be nsEde of
the campaign to secure funds neces-
saTy to develop the camp.
That the Rotary Club get behind
the project for a military training
camp to be located on Punchbowl,
and to be used by civilians and ma
tienal guardsmen alike; and that it
assist in the raising of funds with
which to. insure the success of the
proposed undertaking, are proposals
offered by Senator James l.. Coke at
a meeting of the Rotarians at noon
today
This proposed camp is going to
do tremendous lot of good, Sena-
tor Coke declared. 1T will be along
the lines of the PIattsbuFg, n. Y,
training camp, and viii afford to the
members of the National Guard, as
well as to citizen examinations affili-
ated with the Natiohal Rifle Associa
tion, an opportunity to use the rifle
ranges and receive valuable military
training .->E .
Senator Coke pointed out that it is
planned TO secure by public subscrip-
tion about $4,000 to provide the
camp, instead of waiting for slow and
rather indefinite legislation on the
matter. He urged the Rotary Club
to get back of the movement to raise
this fund.

SUGAR GAG CENTS

Sugar, 96 degrees test, 6.46 cents. Pre-
vious quotation, 6.21 cents.
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1916-04-27


This is the bill which uncondition-
ally repeals the cause in the present
tariff law under which foreign sugars
would be admitted duty free to the
United States after May 1, 1916, The
bill was amended in the senate to make
this free-sugar clause effective on May
/, 1920. but the house refused to ac-
cept the amendment and the senate
receded. Therefore, the present tar.
iff On sugar will remain in effect in
definitely, the free-sugar feature be-
ing knocked out by the Kitchin bill.
Since March /, 1914, 96-degree test
foreign sugars have been paying 1.256
cents pound duty, and Cuban sug-
ars, which enjoy 20 per cent prefer.
ential, have been paying 1.004S cents.
The duty is generally referred to as
"a cent a pound" because of the fact
that it is the Cuban imports which
principally affect the domestic market
and furnish the basis for foreign COM
petition.

VILLA TRAPPED
Wireless Dispatches From the Front
Say Bandit Chleitaln Hemmed
In by Rapid Advance.

I'll Paso. Texas. March 2O.-Fran-
cisco villa has been driven into trap
by the rapid advance Of the American
troops, according to the information
received yesterday in wireless dis
patches from the front and in tele-
graphic dispatches to General Ga
briel Gavira, the Carranza commander
at Juarez.
Everything seems now to depend
on the ability of the Carranza garri-
sons to hold their end of the net. On
three sides of the bandit chief he is
hemmed in by strong Carranza col
umns, while on the fourth the Amer
leans are driving forward with amaz-
ing speed.
Villa was reported in the Babricora
lake region last night on the ranch of
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, which he has
ravaged several times in the past.
Babricora is about fifty-five miles
south of Galena, where one section of
the American expeditionary force has
arrived and is pushing forward
The whole situation seems to hang
on the Carranza forces. If they re-
main loyal to the first chief, which up
to the present they have shown every
indication of doing, villa appears to
be trapped.

Springdale On the E. a u.

Westbound coal train No. 9O7, Will,
coming through Springdalc Saturday
morning broke all records for wrecks
since the memorable disaster at Bull
Creek a number Of years ago.
A drawbar on one Of the cars about
six back Of the engine pulled out and
dropped down, and of course fell just
where IL would be the means of doing
the most damage.
In consequence twenty carloads OF
coal piled mp on ends, sideways, cross
ways and every other way, tearing up
the track and playing smash in gen
eral, completely blocking traffic.
Train No. ?, eastbound, and train
No. 3, westbound, were detoured over
the Norfolk & Western out of and into
Cincinnati, and the accommodation
trains transferred around the pile-up.
With the combined efforts of two
wrecking crews and a regular army OF
section men, the coal was cleared in
about eight hours and both tracks
we're relaid and traffic resumed.
1t was a costly stunt for the road
and the only redeeming feature was
that no one was injured
