The war department feels that it is only pro- tecting the government against the Outrageous gouging of contractors. It is the opinion at : the department that the work ought to bedone at 12 cents per yard, while the last bids re ~ ceived for dredging at Cleveland were Strong & Son, 38 cents, and 8. P. & J. A.

They need not delude themselyes longer as it has been Cefinitely decided that unless reasona- ) ble bids are received this time the govern- ment will either buy or build dredges, “This mode of treatment,’ said an official “worked admirably in the cage of.

A government dredge was built and work is being done for 12 cents by persons who were enjoying a monopoly at 55 cents. | Work at Ashtabula was Suspended fora long period because there was no satisfactory bid and finally the department was literally forced to award the contract to A.

That they are, to some extent, due to influences of the interstate commerce act, advantageous to the water- carriers in their competition with the rail- roads, and that the recent amendments to the law tend further in this direction can scarcely be questioned; but thatthe increased efficiency and volume of the lake trade ig largely due to natural causes, and is a kealthy and be commercial development is suflicie neficial ntly obvious, If the connection between New York and Chi- cago by rail and lake can be made in the time heretofore reyuired by the all-rail shipment, and at a materially lower cost, the commercial advantage conferred cannot be questioned and the effect on transportation must be im- portant and far-reaching. —_ or THE ONLY SHIRT FACTORY IN CLEVELAND, OHIO, 8 ! rs at mau- urer’s prices, thereby saying two profits, with which they are taxed in any other retail store, ; ee" Genuine Home made Shirts, ge) all 54 inches wide, 40 inches long, full sieeves extra well sewed, from the cheapest 50 cent cotton shirt to all kinds of Flannel Wuater- proof Cussimere Surrrs, is conducted by the well known Boston Dry © Goods Store, of Kohn & Co., 213 Detroit street; 2d door from corner Peurl street, Through a Government order supplyin Life Saying Stations with genuine.
