In answer, permit mo to assure you that the weather bureau has not taken or contemplated taking any action la connection with the Medford station fhat will in the least degree impair Its efficiency or detract from, the value of the service we have been rendering to the fruit growers of this important region.

Mr. O'Gara has recently resigned as patho logist, and the weather bureau sent out- of its competent officials to main tain temporarily the weather bureau work at Medford during the present critical frost season. Later on we shall select some competent person to set as our special meteorological ob server and continue the work at this section. However I am sure you will iindertarid that this observer can not do the pathological work formerly di rected by Mr. O'Gara, but I wish to repeat my assurance that the legiti mate weather bureau work will be car ried on in the future as efficiently as In the past, and there is.no reason for alarm on the part of the local inter ests with -.respect to the possible Im pairment 'of , the Weather Bureau service."

Portland, Oregon Futnish Plans for ! 'Docks at Flavel Books to Be of Most Modem Type, It Za Declared; local Office to Ap prove. Engineers plans for the construction of the big docks at Flavel, to be the berthing place for the Northern Pa cific and Great Northern passenger steamers in the Ran Francisco trade. are completed and ready for final ap proval. It is said these docks will be of the most modern characters though, pending approval, the local of ficials are withholding details. Repairs to the draw over Young's Bay have- been going on for several ween? that vessels may pass after the permanent work on the railway to Flavel has been completed. Rumors to the effect that the North Bank expects to build a shore line through Astoria to avoid the long trestle are given scant credence, large ly because of the expense Involved and the difficulty of getting an easy. grade line over the hills.
