Tho public buildings bill, which was

amendment or reduction.
Tho bill also contains a provision
of $10,000 for the purchase of n site
for a federal building in Roscburg,
Or., but makes no appropriation for
the erection of a building.
So Medford is to havo a federal'
building beyond doubt, nnd a few

mndo good his promise, made while
hero last fall, to secure, if possible-,
such a building for this city. Since
then he has worked hard on it and
has succeeded.
According to its usual courso of
procedure, the government will prob-
ably advertise shortly for sealed pro

in Washington and a special agent
sent out to look over tho ground nnd
pick a site. If possiblo tho building
is plnccd within four blocks of the

Already Medford citizens are
