PROMINENT BOILER
MAKER IN MObR|DGE

Edward w. Young, of Dubuque,
Iowa, general boiler inspector
over the entire Milwaukee rail
way system arrived in the cits
Wednesday to meet and travel
over the Puget Sound line, includ
ing branches, with j. T Wilson,
the boiler inspector from Mobridgc
west, to instruct the boilermakers,
their leading men and round house
foreman with new features adop.
ted and new laws to follow.
Mr.. Young was formerly in the
employ Of the Milwaukee, in fact
learning his trade in the Dubuque
Iowa, shops and was promoted
several years ago to inspector of
stationary boilers.
While so employed, he passed
the difficult civil service exam
ination which permitted him to
be one OF the federal boiler
inspectors. The passing OF this
examination called for dlligent ap
plication to the study OF those
things connected with boiler con-
struction which are necessary to
be informed upon to intelligenlly
pass on the safety Of the different
types Of boilers when working
under q full head Of steam, and
can only be acquired by hard
study.
The passing Of this examination
for the federal appointment open
ed the eyes of the officials of the
Milwaukee to the value of their
former employee. He was in the
employe of the government for
about two years. During that
| time the railroad company mace
repeated and constant efforts to
have the government issue him al
honorable discharge. their efforts
being finally crowned with sue
cess.
The officials would not have
been so desirous of obtaining his
services if he had been suffering
from meglamania or could be class
ed as a sycophant.
As it is. he knows all about
boilers and is confident in his
knowledge and it is in the respect
that while his knowledge is com.
plete that it is not lessened by
blatant false pride. which makes
his services so desirable to the
Milwaukee.
The News is pleased to acknowl-
edge q pleasant call from both OF
these gentlemen who carry their
honors so m0destly.

claims that Villas activities in Chi
huahua are not of serious nature,

COUNTY BOARD
PLANS TO TURN
DOWN Low BID

Deputy Surveyor Horton informed
the county commissioners today that
the $3.50 bid made by George W. John,
son for building the Flatley bridge,
Webster township was too low and
that the actual cost of the bridge
would be more than the bid
"The actual cost of materials and
labor needed to build the bridge &C.
cording to all plans and specifications
will be near $780," said Horton.
The commissioners took under ad-
visement the plan to reject this bid
which was the low one and to award
it to the only other bidder, l. E. Smith
whose bid was 1915. The estimate
made for the bridge by the county
surveyor was $940.
On the Scouting bridge, Dalton
township, George w. Johnson, enter
ed low bid of $646. The Burke Con-
struction, New Castle. entered bid
of 5000 The surveyors estimate was
s1,040
Enters Low Bid.
On the Eliason bridge, Center town
ship, l. W. Smith entered the low bid
of $500 George W. Jackson's bid was
500 and the bid Of the Burke Con-
struction company was 1926. The es-
timated cost was $1,000.
Burke Construction company, New
Castle, entered the only bid for the
repairing of the Locke bridge, Jeffer-
son township, $500. The estimate was
5000.
:. l. E. Smith was the only bidder for
the Crooks culvert Center township,
1925
For the construction of the Burrows
bridge over Nettle creek, Dalton town
ship, Burke Construction company en-
tered the only two bids. One was
$1.749 for the erection of truss
bridge and the other was $1,825 for "a
girder bridge. The commissioners
favor the girder type because in case
Nettle creek must be dredged again.
the bridge can be moved as one piece
without much trouble.
Burke Construction company affer-
ed a bid of $4,000 for the building of
the Burrows, Scouting and Locke
bridges in case truss Burrows bridge
is erected and of $2,S75 If girder
