Cheap Substitute for LinoIeun1.

An inexpensive and sanitary sub
stitute for linoleum can easily be
made by FASTING together three sheets
of brown paper used for wrapping up
goods. After thoroughly cleaning the
floor sheet of the paper should be
pasted down and allowed to dry. Then
second sheet is laid down and al
lowed to dry before laying third
sheet. If pattern floor covering is
desired, ordinary wallpaper serves the
purpose admirably. 1t is pasted to
the top sheet of brown paper already
laid. The whole, being thoroughly dry,
coat of sizing is applied and left to
set, after which coat of good var
nish completes the process. This floor
covering has all the advantages of real
linoleum and may be washed and pol
ished in the usual way.

You published as news item il
your issue of July 3 the fact that &
protest had been filed by the property
owners in paving districts Nos. 1C
and II against letting a contract foI
such pavement. We wish to present
through your columns to the public a
statement of the reasons for our OBJ
jections and some of the facts relative
to letting the same.
When the petition for the creation
Tor each of the districts named herein,
was circulated, about two years ago,
it was with the impression or tacit I'M
derstanding that the pavement was to
be like that on Polk street and that the
cost was to be about he same, name
Iy: $3.50 per front foot of abutting
property.
an other contracts for such improve
ments ny the city council competitive
bids were advertised for. and when
the same were to be opened the prop
ertv owners who were to pay the cost
of such improvement. were invited by
the city council to be present and to
discuss with the council the bids re-
.ceived and to express their preferences
sas to kind and cost of bid to accept.
In the letting of the contract for the
districts under discussion, there was
but one bid received, indicating to
cautious mind probable combination
to eliminate competitive bidding, how
ever that may be, there was but one
bid received and the price per front
foot was approximately $3.50.
We have been told that we slept on
our rights, that we had one week from
the time of the opening of the Biz"
until the letting of the contract. Ad-
uniting that such is the case, we had
not definite knowledge or intlmatlon
that the council would proceed to let
the contract without conference with
the property owners as had been done
at times heretofore.
And again we as citizens had such
confidence in the integrity and bus1- !
ness ability of the council that it did /
not occur to us that the contract would

bid at an unusual and exhorpitanti

MANY WAYS OF GARNISHING
Hostess Will Find II Easy to Select
Method Of Improving Appearance
of Dishes Served.

For garnishing meats, fritters OF
vegetables are delectable and potato
cakes and croquettes fried golden
brown in deep fat are also used in the
same way.
If you want color on the fish plat
ter to go with the vegetables, bright
red pimentos furnish it. A can of
these will last all winter, as only a
little is needed. When you have
opened the can use what you need and
then remove the remainder to a glass
jar and cover with cold olive oil and
they will not spoil.
Tomato is also a bright garnish and
is liked nodded In aspic, but the olives
that you buy ready stuffed with pimo-
las lend themselves to decoration
readily. Slice them across the
stuffing and you have little green rings
with red centers that improve a salad
in jiffy.
Mashed potatoes can be formed into
baskets and baked so they hold their
shape, and rice may be mixed with but

great amount of unnecessary trouble

persons and is apt to be absurd. ITO

characters declare, and this applies to

price. In fact we had no knowledge
for a time after the bid was opened
of the price named therein as the only
notice in the local papers was of the
opening of the bid but no intimation
that it would be accepted. In our
neighboring town of Pullman, at a
very recent date, bids were received
for a like contract. paving, and al
though the bid was but 10 per cent
cent above the estimate of the city
engineer, the bid was rejected and
calls for new bids advertised.
And. for the sake of harmony adj
hitting that we, as property owners
had slept on our rights, and that at
the time of making our formal pro-
test, in person and by attorney, the
city council had voted to accept the
bid for the improvement, we at that
time, knowing that the contract had
not been signed and that no bond had
been filed by the contractor, offered
to make an indemnifying bond in suf-
ficient amount to cover any possible
damage that might arise on account of
the informal letting or voting to award
the contract by the city council. And
if is not necessary to say that those
offering to make such bond were fin
ancially able to so do.
That Notwithstanding this offer the
city council Immediately voted to au-
thorize the mayor and clerk to execute
the necessary legal papers between
the city and the contractor for the
construction of such Improvement
mentioned.
We would further state that the in
creased cost of paving under the con-
tract let, will work a hardship upon
many of the owners of property In
said districts; that in two instances,
it will amount to confiscation; that
the contract price, $3.50 per front
foot, in 10 yearly payments with ac-
crued interest, added to current state,
county, special school, city, and other
assessments creates burden too large
for the small owner of property to
carry. while at the same time the value
of the property is not Enhanced in
