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. Roseburg, for $10,000
for a federal building.
The land selected, by tho govern
ment is located at tho corner of Cass
and Stephens streets, in the very
heart of the city. At present the site
is occupied by the residences of W.
T. Wright and Mrs. Al Veatch, which
will necessarily have to bo remov
ed to make way for the proposed
fedqra'l building which will prob
ably bo erected within the next few
years. The land Is 130x135 feet In
dimensions, and was formerly owned
by James O. Newland, D. R. Sham
brook. Mrs. Morris Abraham and
Belle and Bertha Carlon.
With the site selected, those in
terested in the erection of the feder
al building are already taking steps
In hopo of pursuadlng congress to
appropriate a sufficient sum with
which to erect tho structure during
its present session. Strong pressure
will bo brought to bear upon Ore

with general satisfaction, and It Is
openly predicted that the citizens
of the entire city will co-operate In
hope that work on tho structure will

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. If the city council, or
certain members thereof, wish to as-

tlnetlv to understand that the vast j

are Mroncly In favor of th Kraut- j

that the maximum rate stated there
in Is no more than is demanded by

"uiiiK-iJ to take the stand that "may

is pre'tv thin dope to eirppct the cit

representatives in the cnjncll are
worrying for fear that tho coming!
generations will not approve of their
action. 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
