L D. SELDER
Mayor Johns returned from Wash
ington Friday night, and has a good
word to say' for the federal district
and Its possibilities, according to the
Baker City Democrat of Sunday. That
there will be a judicial district with
a full complement of officers, that is,
a Judge of the Second district, clerks,
marshal, etc., we need not expect,
but Mayor Johns together with Mr.
Murphy Hays the committee will grant
us a district court of the United States
sitting at Baker City,, presided over by
Judge Wolverton, and his corps of
court officers. If the city will ac
cept this measure for the present, as
modified, he thought such a bill would
be passed at this session.
The mayor said that the committee
was very much Interested In what
they had to say regarding distances
and the time consumed In travel from
this city to Portland and they (the
committee) were very much Interested
In the showing made as to this phase
of the case, and indicated that it was
an Important element in determining
them to consent to the sitting of a
federal court In Baker City twice a
year..
The mayor said that Senator Ful
ton had twice Introduced and caused
to be passed through the senate a, bill
creating a sew federal district located
at Baker City, and in his opinion was
sincere and loyal in his support.
Mayor Johns spoke with some heat
regarding the knockers in Baker City
citing the fact that this was the only
city in eaRtern Oregon for which there
had been secured an appropriation
for a federal building site. This was
secured by Congressman Moody, for
whom the knockers of Baker Cltjr took
off their coats to defeat.
He said Baker was the only city In
eastern Oregon agreed upon In the
senate bill as the seat of the federal
district, and this was accomplished
through the efforts of Senator Fulton,
that there were 14 dominating men In
the United States senate, and Senator
Fulton was one of them. v
The efforts made to change the site
of the federal building will have no
effect whatever, the matter sent from
here to Washington was misleading
and really showed that the present
site for the federal building was In a
swamp. This has had no Influence
whatever In the plans of the govern
ment, which are now being prepared
for the building and for which the
estimates will be completed by April 1
and the contract likely to be let not
later than June.
The Public Library.
While In the east Mayor Johns went
to New Tork and had an Interview
with Mr. Carnegie's private secretary
and received the assurance that Ba
ker could secure the further gum of
$2500 for the new building upon
proper showing that will be required
and the details of which Mayor Johns
will lay before the council. He was
Interested In the statement made to
him that Mr. Carnegie has been Inter
ested In the building of over two
thousand libraries throughout the
world.

I once thought that Pi-orrtary Taft

now as I was. In. fact, I have no Idea
who will be the nominee.
A Word for Mr. Murphy.
Mr. Murphy was of Inestimable val
ue to me In the work he did before
he arrived In Washington, having had
to visit a number of cities en route
for the purpose of gathering support
for the bill from men whose Influence
he was advised to secure. I heard
from his work all along the line, and
after his arrival In Washington he
gave me most valuable support and
assistance.
The mayor looks hale and hearty
and has the appearance of having had
