OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. May 22. 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

EOCRXE ASKED. TO EXPLAIN
Judiciary Committee Wants to Know
His Objections to Colwell. ' (
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, May 22. 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.

to sell the Klamath Water Users' Asso
ciation a tract of 9 acres on the Kla

valuable power site. This land was or
dered sold at public auction, but set
tlers protested, and the Water Users
Association Offered to buy it back at
the price at which it was originally
sold to the Government with interest.
The Government has no use for this
dower, but the settlers believe that in
time it may be essential tor pumping
water to high lands, and. if sold now
to some private party, may not be
available for such use hereafter. The
oxvns orves
Department is strongly inclined to sell
the land to the highest bidder. On rec
