ENGLISH COMPANY
IS GIVEN CONTRACT
Government Lets Contract for
Making PrOiectiles to
Foreigners

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE navy de-
partment today awarded to Hadfields,
Sheffield, England, contract for the
manufacture of II and IL inch armor-
piercing projectiles for the United
States navy.
Hadfields was the lowest bidder by
a wide margin in competition with
American manufacturers.
At the time the navy department an
nounced the bids, Secretary Daniels
made the startling declaration that
the high bids submitted by American
firms were. a result of the fact that he
had kept secret the department IS de-
cision to permit foreign firms to bid.
He flatly stated he believed that if
American firms had known of this
they would have submitted lower fig
ures.
The American steel companies, fol
lowing the opening of bids, stated that
while they were willing to agree upon
a somewhat better price, they were alb
solutely unable to approach the Had
fields figures. They denied that they
had>nvcrcharged and attributed the
difference in bids to the higher cost
of labor and materials in this country
The contract awarded today calls fol
$500 fourteen inch projeetiles at $35'
each f. o. b. works, to be delivered il
l9 months, and 5000 sixteen inch pro
| ieetiles at 1913 each fAlo. b.. works, t.
be delivered in sixteen months.

Says Stockholders
Should Get Money Back

On condition that all those who pur-
chased stock in the Northwest Townsite
company Of Philadelphia and the Port
land Irrigation company, which was
good for land when the company's
project was developed should be re-
imbursed, the state desert land board
at its meeting held yesterday after
noon to consider the matter decided to
recommend to the legislature an ap-
preparation of $4,000 to aid the com
pany in an appeal to the supreme court
TO reverse the decision of Judge
Daily, which declared that the water
of the chewaucan river, near which
the project is located, belongs to the
Chewaucan Cattle company.
If the decision of Judge Daily should
be reversed and the company given
the right to use the water to irrigate
its project, it was decided by the
board that all the right and title now
held by the Northwest Townsite com
pany should be transferred to &. H.
Ball, the original promoter of the
Portland Irrigation company, who is to
be allowed to complete the project on
the agreement that he makes no at
tempt to sell the land or stock until it
is ready for settlement.
The desert land board also decided
to appoint two engineers to investigate
the report of Fred N. Walla, manager
of the Tumalo project, that fissures in
the bottom Of the big reservoir are
wasting large quantities of water. The
board plans to recommend to the leg
islature the appropriation of $4,000
for repairs to the reservoir.

There are few advances in the
wholesale prices of vegetables. Cabbage
is now quoted at 3Ia cents and lettuce
at $275. Brussels sprouts are on the
list at 10 cents.
For those who have potatoes to sell,
the suggestion has been made by q
prominent commission man that now is
the time to sell, as the general opinion
is that the top notch has been reached.
California new potatoes will soon be on
the market and as they are already
quoted in San Francisco at cents a
pound, and this market is two or three
weeks earlier than usual. AS soon as
they become cheaper within few
weeks, there will be no more shipments
of the old potatoes to California. Wheth
er right or wrong, the potato men in
Salem believe the top of the market
has been touched.

first appearance was in the chorus OF
the Aborn Opera Company in Balti-
more. Within a short time she was
given a minor role. Her next engage
nent was az understudy in the Belle

occasions she sang the prima donna
role with considerable success. She
was next heard in the soubrette role
in THE Burgomaster." Subsequently

lady, co-star with De Angels, and a
star in her own right in 1.-THE King OF

ed a big hit. and has become one OF
