ten agreed to Ihe definite site, but
the lull committee on military af
fairs had never specified a defi
nite location for such an Institu
tion, and did not desire to set a
precedent, so declared only for tho
district. In all the hearings before
the committee and elsewhere, how
ever. It was understood that the

ed some service, and he was very
friendly to the project from the
beginning. !
Work Reviewed j
' TtuHebui k was particularly ac I
tive in the project. Dr. Stewart
came to Washington with a jtreat
mass of very valuable information,!
some of which I had requested.!
and additional .data he had ar
ranged himself. We had several
conferences prior to the hearing
and worked out a plan of presen
tation. Dr. Stewart made two trips
to Dayton, Ohio, and made a inos
excellent statement before the
committee. His assistance was a
very great factor in the success
of the bill.
"When the project camo before
the house an effort was made to
sidetrack It until the comm &es
sion on the grounds that the or
ganization of veterans' activities
should first be completed, but I
presented the argument that It
would be to the advantage of the
new organization to know what
horn- 'hey bad to deal with. This
position waa accepted and the
bill was passed in the house and
later in the senate.
Roseburg First Up
"Since its passage the bill, car
rying an appropriation of two
million dollars, has attracted the
ambitions of other places. So far
as I am concerned, I am for Hose
burg, as I have always been. I
have told our friends in Wa.shlng
on that they have absolutely no
claim to this home, as they did
nothing to assist in the passage
of the bill.
"It Is my opinion Iloseburg will
be selected and I am sure that,
the delegation from this state will
leave nothing undone to secure
the home for Roseburg.
Urgent Need Cited
"The Institution will have a pa
tronizing territory of a million and
a half square miles. Fly the time
the buildings are constructed there
will be a soldier population await
In? to enter of more than 3.000.
The home will be designed to ac-1
commodate 4,000. ;
"Sawtelle, California, has the
only home for soldiers serving a
territory that extends consider
ably east of the Rockies. The Saw
telle home is badly overcrowded.
It was intended to accommodate
only 4,000, but owing to the pros
sure for accommodations, tempor
ary barracks have been built to
take 1,500 more and an equal num
ber of applications have been re
jected. DecaiiHO of the demand for
accommodations. I am sure tlmt
construction will begin soon after
1 the site is chosen.
I "As to the selection of a site.
the Oregon delegation will prosen
Iloseburg generally, and will leave
tho exact location to the board of
managers and the engineers."
Tracts Inspected
Mr. ITawley was taken on a trip
yesterday afternoon' to Inspect the
seveial proposed sites, and found
any of the tracts shown suitable.
Yesterday evening he met. with a
number of the county's republican
leaders at a dinner at the Umpqua
hotel, where political matters
were discussed, and this morning
went to Oakland and Sutherlln
to meet residents of those places.
He was scheduled to leavo this
afternoon for Orauts Pass, whore
