purposes. The house provision that
the sulphur schedule be amended,
placing crude sulphur on the free list
and providing a duty of $4 a ton on
refined sulphur, the same as the pres
ent law, and the house bill 'providing
a duty of $6 a ton and the schedule
relating to mica were passed over, Aid
rich saying that the committee desired
to reconsider that paragraph.
When the schedules on chinaware
and earthenware come up, Cummins
of Iowa, suggested that two-thirds of
the chinaware was imported, while
eighty per cent of the earthenware
used was of domestic manufacture
and added that the later proposed to
offer an amendment to reduce the
rate on earthenware. Speaking on
the rates on steel and earthenware,
Bacon offered an amendment reduc
ing the rate -from 60 to 35 per cent
ad valorem. This was defeated. As
a result, an understanding was
cached after the discussion on the
' Parliamentary status of the bill and

at 12:05 was given the case of Cap
tain Peter C. Halns, Jr., charged with
shooting William E. Annis. Attorney
Mclntyre for the defense said he
believed the jury would be out twenty-four

reason.

No Time Is Being
Lost In Beginning
the Work
CONTRACT LEUAST NIGHT
Three Bids Are Received,
Contractors Lyon and
Axtell Being Lowest. ,
: It will not be long in the future now
before a new county court house will
loom up in all Its splendor In place c'
the blackened ruins of the old. Lart
night at a regular meeting of the coun
ty commissioners all bids for the work
of constructing a new edifice wera
opened and examined, In all there
were three bids from -the following
contractors: Blaklnshlp Brothers
bidding 134.250, M. M. Sundt $28,226,
and Lyon and Axtell, $28,171X3. Each
bid was accompanied by a certified
check for $1,000. After consideration
the board awarded the contract to the
lowest bidder, namely, the firm of
Lyon and Axtell. The successful bid
ders must complete theli work and
turn over to the county officials, the
finished building on the first day of
March, 1910. Upon the completion of
the building the contractors are to re
ceive $21,000 and the. balance of the
amount due in two payments, one on
the first of July, 1910, and the other on
the first of December, 1910. In order
to meet the payments on the building
the county will make a levy this year
of five mills'and next year one of three
mills. Though the contract was only
awarded last night, the firm of Lyon
and Axtell lost no time in commenc
ing work and this morning all neces
sary preparations to begin the work of
building were made.
Italian Rennaissance Style.
The style of the new structure as
designed by the architect, I. H. Rapp,
will be that of the Italian Rennais
sance. Two stories will ' mark the
height and the entire exterior will be
coated with cement with a very light
tint tone to be selected later. The
front of the building will present a
most imposing appearance, ornament
ed by four large artistic pillars of
glazed terra cotta. The new structure
will have on'e hundred and twenty-five
square feet more space that the old.
The boiler room will be made entire
ly fire proof, walls and ceiling. On the
first floor the space is divided provid
ing rooms for district clerk, the pro
bate clerk, the assessor and the col
lector. Two more rooms are -still unas
signed. On the second floor will be
the large court room, Petit Jury room.
Grand Jury room, Judge's Retiring
room, a room for the superintendent of
public instruction and one for the dis
trict attorney. Two of the old vaults
have been found In such good condi
tion that they will be used again, while
six new vaults will be added making
eight large vaults in all. The vault
for the district clerk and that for the
probate clerk are each to contain 110
square feet. The roof of the building
will be supported by large steel trus
ses. None of the old material from the
ruined building will be used savrj
those parts of the walls which have
been found to be absolutely solid.
Even these parts of the walls will be
gone over thoroughly and on the out
side wlU receive two heavy coats of
cement, While the building Is not to
be an absolutely fire proof nature,
every precaution will be taken to
make it as near ' fire proof as condi
tions will allow. Two stand pipes, two
and one-half inches each, will be in
stalled and to them will be connected
a full line of hose so that in case of
fire all that wHl .be necessary will be
to turn on the-wafcer. This installation
will insure almost perfect protection.
When all is completed Santa Pe coun
ty will have a court house of which
it may feel proud. -2 -
