The soviet of the workmen and the
soldiers today formally approved the
dissolution of the assembly after a
speech by Inovieff, declaring the confer

which could not be congenial
Means War to a Finish.
In the opinion of many leaders the
dissolution means war to a finish be-
tween the two clements. The members
of the right who dominated the constit-
uent assembly are planning to go to
Kieff or Novocherkask.
A widely circulated report today that
Tseretelli and Chernoff, leaders of the
social revolutionaries in the anti-Bolshe-
wiki movement, had been killed, was de-
clared false by the authorities The cen
trail executive committee of the Bolshe-
wiki, however, named a commission to
investigate other shootings in the city.
The Red Guards, who participated in
last week 8 attack on groups in the city,
blamed the paraders for the rioting.
A city-wide hunt was in progress for
M. Savinkof, one of Kerensky' s staunch
supporters, who has been reported in
hiding.
In the opinion of politicians there is
little chance of the constituent assem-
bly, leaders overcoming the Bolshevild.
A few of the Red Guards, however, for
mally rendered their designations today,
declaring they were being used to sup
press liberty in the attacks on the con-
stituent assembly.
Lenine himself introduced the disso-
luton decree in the assembly and in a
ninety minute speech lauded the soviet
deputies as representing the highest
power of democracy in the world. He
said he considered the most resolute ac-
tion which the decree proposed as the
only means remaining-the Russian peo-
pie otherwise were doomed.
Lenine frankly declared that he rec
ognized the impossibility of accom-
plishing soeialistie state except by
civil war"
"But this does not deter us, &" he con
oluded.

Dear Mother and Boys:
The 4th Engineers left Vancouver De-
cember 2lst, in three sections, two bat
taions and the headuarters, was in
the first battalion of three companies
with about 600 men in fourteen coaches
and eight box cars. We pulled out at
$3.50 p. m. and went up the Columbia
river.
When we woke up Saturday morning
we were ON top of theABlue mountains
between Pendleton and La Grande. Had
three engines on the train and were
making good time. Reached Huntington,
Oregon at p. m.
This was our first stop, stayed
two hours and the boys almost bought
the town out Went from there to Wei
ser, Idaho. The town met us at the train
and gave us fifteen sacks of apples.
Reached Pocatello in the~evening and
had another run around town. A nice
place, weather fine, and everybody
down town to see us.
From there on about all we saw was
sage brush and sand. Snow only on the
mountain tops and weather warm. Got
off at little town in Wyoming for
exercise, but the wind was blowing so
hard that we eouldn' t stay out long.
Arrived at Denver about Monday noon
and was turned loose till p. m. Went
up town and took in all could. Nice
place but looks like it needed little

Went to the Y. M. G. A. and had a
good bath. About 800 of the boys did
likewise. Left Denver about p. m. and
got in Goodland Kansas, at 4 m.
Christmas morning. Spent the day here
and had a good time. The people opened
up the town hall for us and brought
out town talent to entertain us and had
something doing from 10 a. m. until
II p. m.
They provided oranges, candy, smokes
and big dance all day. Everybody
went out for dinner and had good time
One of the girls told me that that
was the first time the town was ever
woke up. Another said that the 4th En-.
gineers was sure some bunch. l imagine
the place after we left it looked like
church after preaching. The second
battalion got in Goodland about 7 p.
m. and ran around us there. Kansas was
the best section of country that we
crossed and Missouri was about the
same. There was lots of corn raised
there this year. Crossed the river at
Kansas City, Mo. The city ON that side
was about the dirtiest place L ever saw
From there we went to Memphis, Tenn.
The boys thought that was some town,

they all live in tents. You can hear

EMBARGO ON SHIPPING or
NON-FSSENTIALS NEXT MOVE
IN GETTING COAL TO SHIPS

! The best showing thus far has been
made at southern Atlantic ports where
Il07,700 tons of bunker coal has been
delivered and is ready for loading
with 100000 more tons en- route. At
one port more than $4,000 tons were
delivered over Sunday.
Northern Atlantic ports are expect
ing 100000 tons during the next few
days and "a hour loading schedule
will be continued during the period of
industrial suspension in the east.
Deep SHOWS, zero temperatures and
promise of only slightly warmer wealth

committee today summoned Director
General McAdoo to reappear on the
stand. Committee members promise a
complete airing of the present trans

day admitted had been little relieved

Adoo sought to relieve the freight jam
by shutting industries instead of us

Now officials say that the close
down order will result in only moder-
ate relief, from the coal tieup and the
embargo will be necessary, in addition
five days later.
There is little need for or likelihood
of the present Garfield orders being
extended to include territory west of
the Mississippi, it was stated at the
fuel administration today. There is lit
tie traffic congestion on the Pacific
coast, it was said, and many locoino-
tives are now being rushed to the

COMMISSION MUST
ADVERTISE FOR BIDS
BEFORE IT CAN BUILD
Can Only Do the Work Itself
If Bids Are Lacking or Are
Unsatisfactory

The State Highway Commission can
perform work on highways only atrer
having received bids and rejected them,
or OF having failed to receive bids at
ter advertising for them. This opinion
was in reply to reuest of State High
way Engineer Num-, says Attorney Gen
eral Brown. The attorney general quotes
among other statutory provisions bear
ing on the subject Section l3, chapter
423, laws of 1917, adopted by the people
on referendum June 4, 1917, as fol-
lows:
"rhe State Highway Commission is
hereby authorized and empowered to
enter into contracts for the purpose of
constructing the roads provided in this
Act; provided, however, that all con-
tracts shall be let according to law and
in open and public session of said com
missiCn; provided further, that if in the
opinion of majority Of the members
of said commission, the lowest bid for
the construction of any of the roads or
parts of roads herein authorized to be
constructed, shall be excessive, then and
in that event, said commission shall
have the right and it is hereby empow-
cred and authorized to reject all bids
and to construct under its own direc-
ton and supervision, all of such roads
or any part thereof, and to this end and
to accomplish this purpose said com
mission is hereby authorized and en-
powered to purchase or lease all neces-
sary machinery, equipment, tools and
appliances and to employ all necessary
help and labor and to do all things nee
essary and convenient to carry out the
provisions of this Act.'
Then he says:
Can these provisions would seem to
require, as a necessary precedent for
performing the work without letting
contracts, that the State Highway Com
mission should first call for competitive
bids for the construction of any work
under its supervision.
We find it further provided in said
section that if, in the opinion of the
majority of the members of the Com
mission, the lowest bid for the construc-
tion of any road or parts of roads
authorized by said act shall be exces-
sive, then and ir that event, said COM
mission shall have the right and it
is hereby empowered and authorized to
reject all bids and to construct under
its own direction and supervision, all
of such roads or any part thereof, This
language clearly predicates the power
to proceed without contract upon the
condition of having asked for bids and
the opinion of mojority of the mem
bers of the Commission being that the
lowest bid is excessive, because it is
only in that event that it is authorized
to construct under its own direction and
supervision.

Dallas, Tex, July 2S.-With about one-third of the votes in yesterdays Texas Democratic primary counted, Gov. William P. Hobby was leading former Gov. James E. Ferguson by approximately 1l2,000. Probably 100000 votes still had not been re- ported, but the election of Hobby was generally conceded. The vote stood {: Hobby, 11,798; Ferguson, 99,15l.
 Reports from the 1 contested con gressional districts still were so mea- ger as to leave the results in doubt. In the fourteenth district, where chief interest centers, Carlos Bee and A. r. Barrett were running close, each hav- ing approximately 7,500 votes but with only 1l2 of the 264 precincts re- porting. Congressman James L.
