There la no more responsible po
sition In the state, from a business
.standpoint, than that of 1'ubllc Sor-j
vice Commissioner, and It should be,
billed with a.. man with a capacity to
ileal In big things, and the business
ability to rill It. In looking over the
Jlold (or a candidate to (III this place,
the Lebanon Criterion has this to
Jaay:
"There Is a young man out (or the
arepubllcan nomination who by train
ing and ability has tho necessary
qualifications for a commissioner
mod one of the young men who Ib
making a name for hlmsulf in state
affairs. This man is Fred O. Buchtel,
mho (or the past four years has been
jia charge of the state weights end
measures department, mulor tho of
Hica of State Treasurer Kay, and he
jiaa proven himself to be a man o(
,ughiioss In every detail o( his
work, and has brought this depart
ment up from a chaos of conflicting
county Interests to one of the best
managed parts of the Btnte business.
-A promotion of Mr. Uuchtol to the
Jilgher office will not be a mistake."
Mr. lluchtcl is no stronger to the

GIVEN TRIALS
The fire truck which arrived here
Saturday was unloaded today and
placed in the city hall pending Us
acceptance by the council. It wasi
removed from the car by Mr. A. W.
I'lymton, of the American La France
Fire Engine Company, who has been
In this business for the past 20 years.
Ho will remain In Koseburg for sev
eral days putting the truck in shape
for steady use and drilling a man in
the care of the apparatus.
The machine wss given a tnorougn
test this morning on the many hills
about the city. With a load of
about firtcen men it started from
the city hall and made a quick run
Up Main street, the grade being
easily made without a shift of gears.
Returning, the truck was driven up
the steep Lane street hill. On this
slope all three gears were called into
requisition, but the speed wbb not
allowed to drop to less than fifteen
miles per hour. Another run was
made up Winchester street at a
speed of about 20 miles an hour and
on returning a speed test was made
on Stephens and Mill Sts. The car
easily made 35 miles per hour, al-
I though this might be lessened If plac
! ed under the capacity load.
The council will meet tonight and
accept tho truck If It hns been de
livered In compliance with the terms
of the contract. A driver will also
be selected to care for and drive the
machine. Two applications have been
received, that of Corbett Wilbur and;
fieo, Grimm. Mr. Wilbur has had
several, years' experience in garage
work, and served for a number of
months In the Albany fire depart
ment, where two trucks similar to
tile one herd are in use at the prOB
cnt time. He has had considerable
experience with driving automobiles
and If given tho position will un
doubtedly fill the place capably. Mr.
Grimm has had no experience, but
stated that he was willing to lenrn to
drlvo the machine and would serve
Iho city to the best of his ability.
