That work will be commenced on
the Houston ship channel is now an
assured fact. Bids for its construction
were opened yesterday afternoon, in
the office of Earl I. Brown, United
States engineer in charge of the Gal-
veston district. The lowest bid was
from the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific
Dredging company, to whom the award
will be recommended to be made.
The length of the channel will be a
waterway of about fifty-one miles in
length, taking its head from the deep
water of Galveston harbor through the
bay, through San Jacinto bay and riv-
er and Buffalo bayou to the head of
Long Reach near Harrisburg.
The width will be a hundred and
fifty feet from Bolivar Gorg to Morgan
Point, and from there a hundred feet
wide to the head of Long Reach, ter-
minating in a 600-foot wide turning
basin at the bottom. The channel is
already about 18 feet deep, and with,
this improvement it will be deepened
to 25 feet, its course straightened and
cleared of all obstruction.
Contractors were obliged to subipit
separate bids on each division. Only
two—The Atlantic, Gulf and Pacifla
LJFSuging' OlU JLH£! the Bowers Southern
Dredging Co.—made a bid on^aTTiriFoS"
divisions and the alternate route. The
bids of the various companies were:
L. T. Gaylord—Division 1, 6.95 pen
cubic yard, or $732,391, on the estimat-:
ed yardage; division 2, 14.9c, or $908,-j
900; division 3, 18c per cubic yard, on
$725,500.
Bowers Southmern Dredging Com-i
pany—Division 1, 8%c per cubic yard,
or $895,730; division 2, 13%c per cubia
yard, or $823,500; division 3, 19c per
cubic yard, or $764,75(L
Coastwise Dredging Company of Nor-:
folk—Division 1, 9.3c, or $980,034.
Southern Dredging Company of Mo-
bile—Division 3, 24s per cubic yard, or
$966,000.
On the alternate route for division 1
the bid of L. T: Gaylord was 12c, on
$1,446,000, on the estimated yardage,
while that of the' Bowers Southern
Dredging Company was 12%o, or $1,-:
506,250.
The total of the bids of L. T. Gay-
lord, based on the estimated yardage
of each division, is $2,365,791, while
that of the Bowers Southern Dredging1
Company is $2,483,980, a difference of
$118,189. Taking the alternate route
the total is $3,079,400, as against $3,-:
094.500, a difference of $15,100 in favor}
of Mr. Gaylord.
Which route is to be taken through
the bay has not been definitely de-
cided on yet. Houston is said I#
oppose the short route, while the other
side advances that that route is the
cheaper in the end in the matter of
maintenance.
The cost of the channel represents
aii amount of $2,500,000, half of which,
was appropriated by act of congress,
the other half being put up by Hous«<
ton by the issuance of bonds. But only
$600,000 is available the first year of
construction.
Work will commence within the next
'sixty days after the approval of the
contract by the chief of engineers. A
time limit of three and a half years is
provided for.
HOT PROPOSITION.
Booklet on Tabasco Pepper Lives Up
to Its Name.
A neatly gottten up little booklet,
entitled “A Hot Proposition,” is now
bein'” distributed by the Sunset Cen-
tral. The subject matter is devoted
entirely to a description of Tabasco
pepper, the seventh heaven of Mexi-
can delight, and known to them by
the phrase “muy mucho caiienta.”
Beginning with its origin, going on
through the other kindred stages from
its home by adoption, to telling of
what the noted Roman gastronome
Lucullus, missed, the little booklet
does not miss a single process of tho
plant’s growth.
