Would bf maintained with unimpaired

hs bef-n receiving much attention
from the members of ths Oregon dele

been exchanged with department offi
cials on the subject. Representative
Hawloy lias been especially Interested,
lie has been assured that the equip

the wilfulness of the office will not
be. Impaired. Now Senator Chamberlain
Is Jn receipt of a letter from C. F.

as follows:
"My dfar Senator We have received
-ur memorandum of April 1J, trans
mitting letters from W. J. flartzell,
of Thrpf Daks Orchard, and Chester
Fitch, both of Medford, Oregon, rela
tive to t lie work of ihe weather bureau
In the Interest of the fruit growers of
the riogue River valley. 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.
"No doubt you are aware that for a
number of years a local organization
employed by p. J. O'Gara as patholo
gist to look after their interests, and
incidentally he cooperated with the
weather bureau in the distribution "Of
our weather an frosfc, warnings. 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."
