Mrs. Isabella Bottler, who owns two houses on Second street, between Sheridan and Arthur, the porches of which were de stroyed by the collapse of the Second street bridge on November 3, has filed a claim against the city In the sum of 11200. Mrs. Bottler asserts that the bridge was the sole means of ingress and egress to her houses, and" when It fell it carried away a number of improvements. Besides, it deprived her of a tenant, who had been paying a monthly rental of $20. The col lapne was due to the inattention and the "carelessness of the city officials, and therefore she asked the damages, but her application was to be considered as hav ing been presented for the purpose of com promising her claim.

Marks Shoe Co. SALEM'S SELF-SACRIFICES And Its Consequent Fitness for Cer tain Oflices Xott at Portland. SALEM, Or., Dec 22. (To the Editor.) Permit me to suggest a solution of the pending problem of providing adequate quarters for the various Government of fices now located in Portland. The new Government building in this city Is about completed, and after its occupancy by the postal authorities, will afford ample room also for the accommodation of the Federal Courts and Surveyor-Ge'neral. In deed, the logical situs of these officers is at the State Capitol, where the law library of the state and the records of the State Land Office are accessible. I am Informed that in nearly all of the states of the Union' the Federal Courts are so located, presumably for this reason. In 'this case, however. It is purely a question of economics. It would be deemed bad management in any other business to rent or lease outside property for its use at great expense when It had ample accommodations of its own, conveniently located and perfectly adapted to its re quirements. If you, Mr. Editor, were tne sole man ager of Uncle Sam's Oregon business, you would not lease outside quarters or erect a new building for your use If you had a suitable one already built and unoccu pied. Fit up your present Postofflce building for the exclusive use of the Postofflce Department and move the Federal Courts and Surveyor-General's office Into the new Federal building at the capital. Local prejudices and jealousies, as well as pos sible Incidental local benefits, should be disregarded in the solution of such eco nomic questions, which should be fairly adjusted in accordance with the eternal fitness of things, trusting the stern logic of events to work reciprocal compensa tions. For instance, Salem has been from tho beginning the "Fair" City of Oregon, but when the great Lewis and Clark Centen nial Exposition was proposed, we all ac quiesced without a murmur In its being located at Portland, and are willing to be taxed for its promotion, even though, in the opinion of many, the logical result will be the permanent location of the State Fair at Portland after 1905.
