WASHINGTON. D. C, April 11. Tho Treasury Department has accepted the joint offer of D. R. Sbambrook and James O. Rowland for a federal site on tho corner of Cass and Stephens streets.

Editor News: When a city councilman mado the statement at the last city council meeting that "many" of the citlzenB of Hosehurg were opposed to the granting of the gas franchise, unless a 15-year Joker was attached there to, ho either forgot that he is a second George Washington or else the many citizens ho had conversed with were connected directly or in directly with the water company, or perhaps had fuel to sell. If the gas franchise were left to popular vote it would carry at least 75 to I. The average American rltizen is foolish enoimh to bellevo that a city coun cil should represent the interests of the people, and that the people are well enough informed to know what is to their interests. The once pow erful political boss assumed the posi tion that he and a few of his hench men wern much better aide to judge what was good for the dear people that the people themselves, and It peenis that the Itosehiirg city council, or a few of its influential niemb'-rs. are laboring under the same dela tion. To bold up or deny the gat franchWe applied for Is a deliberate refusal to grant what 95 per cent of the people of Itosehiirtr are de manding.

There are more ways than one to skin a cat, and the people of Roseburg have various means of calling to account the alleged repre sentatives who are delaying the granting of the gas franchise, and it should be conveyed to these ob structionists in no uncertain lang uage that it is not a safe thing to monkey with tho people!, measures, and that the citizens of Roseburg look upon this gas franchise as a measure that will be of decided ben efit to the community and to a vast majority of the individuals therein, although It may effect the salo of electricity, coal and wood to a cer tain extent. It might effect slight ly tho value of certain bonds held by certain persons, but tho vast proportion of Roseburg citizens have neither bonds, electricity, wood or coal for sale, and therefore feel that they aro entitled to relief along the lines possible by the installation of i giis plant.

The proposal to include in the franchise the right to re-adjust rates IB years hence, is not for the purpose of protecting the general public's welfare at that time, but is for tile purpose of making the fran chise unsatisfactory to the gas com pany.
