 west Mills of Scow Bay but that pending adjudication of some
 technical matters awards were

 Original bid called for 90,OOO ties at a price not to exceed 95 cents fob. Anchorage. After the bids were opened, management of the Railroad wished to split the contract by allowing the local mill to cut 55,000 ties at their bid price and to furnish bond for delivery of order, in the sum of 5000. cash. Protest was raised against this arrange ment inasmuch as splitting the contract would cut returns to such an extent as to make it ne- cessary to deliver the ties only at a loss; and that cash bond not been required of the Juneau and Wrangell mills which held previous contracts nor was it on the bid forms sent out. All bids cancelled and try iC again, perhaps Seattle will be low bid on the job.
