CAPITOL CONTRACT
LET FOR s823,l70
COMMISSION AWARDS CONSTRUC.
TON OF OFFICE BUILDING
TO PRATT & WATSON
OF TACOMA

H0 Oldtc SdpItOl SOulHhlSSioH idtc
last Thursday awarded the contract
| for the construction of the Office
Building of the State Capitol group
to Pratt & Watson of Tacoma on
bid of $823,17O.
This figure includes an allowance
of $24,17O if the building is suffi-
GENTLY completed by January 1,
1921, to permit its occupancy at that
time by the various state depart
ments assigned to it.
Terms of the accepted contract i'm
pose 5000 a day in liquidated dam
ages upon the contractors for each
day temporary completion exceeds
the time limit, and $50 a day for
each days excess for final compile
ton over 20 months from date of
signing the contract.
The state building authorized by
this contract will form the second
unit of the capitol group. Its dimen-
sions are to be 76x220 feet, three
stories and basement, to be built of
Wilkeson stone with marble halls
and bronze doors.
It will be located just east of the
old capitol foundation and Will house
all the important state departments
next January, with the probable ex-
ception of the agricultural. A re-
duction of $1,000 was figured of in
leaving the top floor uncompleted, to
be used for storage until perma-
nent installation is made there. All
bids submitted yesterday greatly ex-
ceeded the architects estimates of
$588.000 made upon the work.
Contesting contractors declared
lumber alone had advanced IS per
cent since the call for bids was
issued and that all other materials
and labor needed had increased
steadily in cost within the past few
months. Pratt & Watson originally
bid $S06,000, which was increased
nearly $4,000 in the final award as
a means of getting the work sum-
GENTLY completed to clear the old
capitol building for legislative use
next winter.
But for the imperative need OF
room it is doubtful whether the
commission would have let the con-
| tract at this time. Prospects of
| hiring quarters for various state de-
partment next winter in order to let
the legislature into the old capitol
were canvassed by the commission
without any resulting assurance that
such quarters could be obtained
For several hours of final consid-
GRAFTON the contract awarded Thurs
day remained suspended between
Pratt & Watson and the Puget Sound
Bridge & Dredgink Company Of Sc
attic. The latter company bid $S21,-
315. which the commission finally
figured up to $S23,17O. The Seattle
company would offer no indemnity
for completion by January l.
! In addition to the lowest and next
| lowest, the Following Dl0S, all OF
fered by Seattle contractors. were
opened: Hans Petersen, $4,000;
Rounds Construction Co., $4,000;
Quist & Co., $s69.649: Harrington
Peters Company, $4,000; Doregan
& Christman, $877.325. All alterna-
tive bids for substituted finishing
materials were rejected and the new
building will be finished In conform
ity with the Temple OF Justice,
which is now nearing completion.
Final award of q contract for grad
ing the new capitol grounds vas
postponed by the commission until
10 a. m. Tuesday morning, February
3rd.

Miss Given and LazarO
Are Heard i'm Recitals
Programs of Both Violinist and
Tenor Marred by Franks
of Children

When Miss Thelma Given began
Gricgs sonata in G minor for violin
and piano yesterday afternoon at Car
negie Hall she was prey to tempera-
ment. Seemingly striving for an cX-
cessively colorful performance, her
abuse of tempo rubato made difficulties
for her accompanist, Mr.. Richard
Hageman, and she herself made at
least one faulty entrance at the begin
ming Of the second movement. Her
tone was fitful as Pickering fame,
now rasping, now submerged with a
curious whispering quality, partcu-
larly throughout the first movement,
which made for mystery, but was
hardly in keeping with the character of
the work.
Perhaps the violinist was nervous,
perhaps she, with a certain portion of
the audience, was disturbed Ivy the
antics of small boy who sat near the
stage and between intervals of rafting
the program vigorously exchanged ma
ternal condolences suitable only to the
privacy of the home. Of course, it is
an excellent thing for parents to be-
gin cultivating the musical taste of
their offspring at an early age, but
small and obviously unmusical children
should be checked in the cloak rooms
of concert halls or certificate of
good behavior required for admittance.
At any rate, and whatever the cause,
Miss Given did not find herself until
the second piece, Chaussons Poeme.
This she played with gracious quality
Of tone and good deal of under
standing. Other numbers were by De-
busy, Sindng, Aulin. Rimsky- -Korsa-
koff, Paganini, Grasse and Brahms.
In the evening, during Hipoiito La
zaro's recital at the same hall, there
was another childish disturber of the
peace, this time seated in q box, but
the tenor's stentorian tones were only
mildly intercepted. It is a pity that
Mr. Lazaro is given to forcing a nat
urally agreeable lyric voice. In his
efforts to appear vocally robust he i'm
pairs the quality of his upper tones
and makes his lower tones sound husky.
In a program largely made up of oper-
attic arias, in which he more than took
advantage of every opportunity to sac
rifce quality to size, his best work was
done in Handel's Care Selve" and in
three Spanish songs. Alvare2's. "Ia
Partda" and "Granada" and Valverdes
"Clavelitos-"
In the afternoon, at Aeolian Hail.
Miss Ellen Rumsey, a rleZzo-sopranC
with a pretty voice, sang an unpreten~
tious program effectively.

Deegan Answers Stimson

Vice Commander William F. Deegan
Of New York State has published q
letter in reply to that written recently
by Henry l.. Stimson, in which the
onetime Secretary Of War gave his
reasons for opposing Proposition No.
:, the state bonus referendum measure.
Deegan asserts that the parade of
10000 veterans on Fifth Avenue. Oc-
tober 16, was remarkable testimony of
the desire of the men to have the
bonus passed, and the ovation given
them by the spectators was an assur-
ance that it would pass.
Mr.. Stimson seems considerably
perturbed," the commander says,
rs chairman of the Joint committee
for aid to disabled veterans, that the
passage of this bonus may initiate
against such ex-service men. I would
Ike to know just what benefits have
been accorded the wounded and dis
abled men of this state ny this COM

New Method of Extracting
Turpentine and Resin.

Inc greatest potential source of tur-
pentlne and risen chemicals lies in
British Columbia, says E. S. Oliver, an
industrial chemist and specialist in
wood products, after investigations in
Mexico and Central America and in
the forests of Russia, Sweden, Germany
and the Mediterranean countries. He
has made study of methods of ex-
tractlng the maximum amount of
resin from trees without injury to the
growing tree, and his observations are
attracting considerable attention
among persons identified with the de.
veloping of the resources of British
Columbia.
Mr.. Oliver points out that the very
flrst ship which came from England to
the shores of America bore instruc-
tlons, written in the hand of Queen
Elizabeth, as to the method to be en-
ployed in obtaining tree resin. And
ne adds "curiously enough, on this con-
tinent the very same methods are still
followed. 1t is an industry which has
shown no improvement in its methods
of collecting its raw material"
Under the old system of scarifying
the barks of trees and collecting the
resin after the more volatile elements
had become oxydized by contact with
the air. it was not possible to Get more
than II 1-2 per cent bulk turpentine.
In Canada the highest production in
any of the eastern plants was IS IL
per cent. Under Mr.. divers tests,
the lowest he has received was 33 per
cent, or 1 per cent higher than in Ger
many, where the resin by-product in
dustry has been developed to an art.
Mr.. Oliver achieves his result by bor-
ing small hole into the tree trunk
and hermetically sealing it to an air.
tight flask. In this way instead of in
jury being done to the timber, the
growth of the tree is aided, as the
resin is a substance Of which the tree
is seeking to rid itself,0
1t is estimated that block of about |
100 acres of Douglass fir gives about |
500 barrels of pitch year. or total of
about 10000 gallons. The price of
and other resin products
now is four times that of prewar days
