ICKEs TAKES SLAP AT
FIRMS IDENTICAL BIDDING

Secretary Of Interior Harold l..
1ckes announced the award of the
contract today in another instance
of identical bidding on 2,942,685
pounds of steel to the firm whose
shipping point vas fartherest re-
moved from Grand Coulee dam,
near Odair, WASH, the point at
which the steel is to be delivered.
The contract was awarded to the
Carnegie-Illinois Steel corporation,
which ships from Duluth, Mime
sofa, and the steel will cost the
government delivered to Odair
$77,250.37.
Two other firms, the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Corporation, Dem
yer, Colo. which ships from Min
uequa, Colorado, and the Bethle-
hem Steel company of San Fran
cisco, CAL. which ships from Sc
attic, had Offered to deliver the
steel at a cost Identical with that
under the contract with the Car
negle- Illinois Steel Cooperating.
Seven proposals were received
and opened by the Budeau of Rec
lamation at its Denver, Colorado,
office April 16 on this steel. Each
of the v bidders entered the
identical base bid OF $42,014.1O,
but discounts and allowances SER
we'd to spread some of the bids
somewhat when the delivered cost
was computed. Exceptions were
the three companies which were
low at the identical bid of ST.
250.37. These three companies Of
fered to equalize the freight costs
on delivery of their steel.
81 have consistently opposed the
practice of identical bidding" Sec
rotary Ickes said, "since it defeats
the purpose of the government in
offering its work in the open mar
ket for free and open competition.
I'm this instance I have follow
ed the practice which I began
some time ago as a means of pro-
testing against collusive bidding
and the bidder fartherest from
Odair, Washington, got the con-
tract. 1t will have to give the
railroads the advantage it refused
the government.
There was a time when ii was
practically impossible to get any
thing but identical bids on steel
and cement. / take pride IN the
fact that now for many of our on
tracts bona .fide competitive bids
are received. The evil of identical
bidding has not been entirely elm
mated, but the practice of award
ing the contract to the firm which
ships from the most distant point
is beginning to irk the western
concerns. They are finding that
identical bidding places them at a
disadvantage"

Let's dance while the music
lasts"
She spoke to Captain Bourne
and was surprised when Van
Cleve responded first. He took her
in his arms and bent his somber
face to hers. Yes. Dance while
the music lasts" he replied under
his breath.
AS they merged with the other
couples on the deck, Denny's odd
mood vanished. She wondered
why the doctor, hating women,
was dancing with her. He did it
well, but she felt that at any mo-
ment he might fling her from
him, and enjoy doing it. "A taci-
turn man, with a hint of mystery
about him." she was thinking
when they again neared the pi-
dollhouse where Captain Bourne
was standing.
With quiet assurance the blond
riverman reached out and tapped
the doctor on the shoulder. Tag

illusion of freedom and release
which had touched her before. IL
seemed as if her soul and her
partners, together with the souls
of all the men and women OF all
lime, were meshing and flowing
in a stream that was never end
ing.
She was still family under the
spell when the music stopped.
Bourne led her forward away from
the sun deck and they sat on a
bench in the shadow of the pilot
house. Across the river, above the
crest of a ridge, an incredibly
large round moon was rising.
The lone figure of Doctor Van
Cleve came prowling along the
deck.
Hello, Van!" the captain greet
ed him cordially. Come sit with
us for a spell"
The doctor complied, seating
himself on Denny's other side, and
the three were silent for while.
The music sounded ineffably sweet
and distant in the autumn light.
Finally Denny rose and faced
the two men. "Come!" she said

the salon deck; talk and laugh
ter sounded in the dining room
where Boom and Honey-jo were
serving refreshments. The dance
floor was the open top deck, where
couples glided under the stars to
the orchestra music of an owl
program coming by radio from
far-away Montreal.
Denny nad never known an
evening Of such strange glamour.
Despite Jack Pages efforts to
monopolize her, she danced with
every man on the deck.
Revelry Bourne. looking uncom-
monty we'll in white flannel trous-
erS and a dark coat, was proving
a popular host to the gay Wran-
cell girls vino were guests. 1t was
midnight before he claimed Den
nv for a dance. They began to
waltz with the smoothness of two
who instinctively know each 9TH

Tonight she felt a certain rap

man whose steps meshed so
smoothly with hers. Again the riv-

velloWish-gray, and now that Den
nv recalled them, she wondered II
there had not been a linking hos
tilitv in them. But she quickly
dismissed the idea. There was no
reason why this woman, not OF
her world. should have any feeling
whatever for Denise Keith.
She fell to thinking how Muir
raw would have delighted in the
arrival of the hunters today -
the first high whistle of the Maid
coming up around LoneWater
bend: the pictuesquely garbed
denizens of Tarnigan, rushing
down to the bank in front OF the
Hudson's Fay store to welcome
the big-game hunters.
Harp was there with his band
of Indian guides, all arrayed in
their best chaps and kerchiefs and
most colorful blazers. But the
foreman's face was solemn under
the devil-may-care cant of his
sombrero. for this was the first
time he had taken the place OF
Larry Keith to greet the guests OF
River House.
It was all very noisy and gay,
with an underlying promise OF
more excitement to come. Denny
had lost her first feeling of con-
descension toward these North
ernerS who gave full play to their
love of color and personal adorn-
ment. She was glad, for the mo-
ment. to be a part Of this life
where people brought to their
everyday affairs something OF the
pageantry of youth.
1t was evident that the four
new hunters were enjoying the
show to the full. Very sporting in
outing suits and stiff. high leath-
er boots creaking with neWness,
they came laughing down the
gangllank-a big. bluff colonel
whose luggage shouted in white
letters. Dublin, Ireland: and
three young engineers from Vien-
ma. who were confiding to every
one that they could "Spik so leetle
Engleesh."
Denny was eager to write some
of these things to Murray. but
she discovered now, when the eX-
citement of reading her mail had
subsidized. there was a subtle, un-
settling sense of enjoyment per-
vading the house. Down the hall
the young AuStrianS were singing
and shouting to one another IN
French. The colonels deep voice
was rumbling IN a conference
with his guide. Below in the living
room Rio had the phonograph
going and was dancing with Jack
Page who. unlimited, had come up
with the hunters. The stir all
about her had the effect of max
ing San Francisco and all her
friends there seem dim and
Wraithlike.
After several false starts she
abandoned letter writing and went
TO her clothes closet to select her
most becoming outfit to wear to
the dance that was 20 begin at

read her San Francisco mail. She
was going over Murray'S two
lengthy Screeds for the third time.
He wrote: You will see by the
