The Secretary of the Treasury will probably appeal from the recent condemnation of block S, which the Government desires to acquire for a Postofflce site at Portland, for. care ful examination of records in the case leads the department to conclude hat the price fixed by the Jury. 340,000. s excessive and more than the property is worth. No decision has been an nounced, but from official sources it la learned that this stte wll not be bought "at the price named, at least at this time. While the Treasury Department is impressed with desirability of block S and would like to acquire that parti cular site, officials believe that an appeal may bring down. the price, and if so delay will be Justified. There Is no occasion for making immediate pur chase, anyway, as there is no money available to begin construction of the building, and will not be for a year or more. This property was originally offered for t2B.OOO. but the Govern ment waived its right to buy at that figure when it ordered condemnation proceedings. In event the price Is not lower on the appeal, it Is quite possible that the "The UNINSURED are in no more danger than the INSURED, but their families are."

Senator Bourne suc ceeded today in having the Senate again reject the nomination of Elmer B. Colwell as United States Marshal for Oregon, but only after a very uncom fortable 15 minutes before the Judi ciary committee. Bourne, who has been playing golf at Virginia Hot Springs for two weeks, returned to Washing ton and this morning in answer to a summons of the Judiciary committee to appear and explain wherein Colwejl Is "personally obnoxious" to him. When the committee met. Bourne, arraved in a linen suit, appeared and asked the committee to make adverse report, reiterating his statement that Colwell was "personally obnoxious. Asked to explain wherein Colwell was obnoxious. Bourne, according to a member of the committee, stated that Colwell had distributed circulars inimi cal to the interests of progressive Re publican cause in Oregon and had also circulated reports defaming his (Bourne's) character. The two Senatora call Colwell ob noxious because of his expressed opinion that, the members of the Leg islature of Oregon were" not obliged to vote for George E. Chamberlain for the United States Senate, although they had been so Instructed by the people. HAWLEX . FAVORS SETTLERS Klamatb Waterpower Desired for People, Ho TTrges.
