Senator Chnmbcrlntn lms boon In consultation wlth'tfio treasury department regard ing tlib desire of certain peonlo In Medford to have tbe question of the location of tho lirotsapcctlvp public liiflldlin; In that town rccoiwldorcd. An appeal baa been mndo to tho Ore Ron delegation by Mayor Mahlon l'ur dln and others, to abnudou tho site which was conveyed to tho govern ment on payment of $1 to tho pro perty holders, and select another slto In what they consider a more central and advantageous location. There Is a strong disposition In Med ford, as voiced by A. K. Keames and others, to let well enough nlone, and their position receives very material support from tho treasury depart ment which Informs Senator Cham hcralln that to make a change In tho location selected would necessi tate an act of congress, which vouM Inevitably occasion much delay. Tlio petition wn bended by Mah lon 1'unlin, mayor of Medford; J. W. Mitchell, city councilman; J. T. Sumnicrville, president of the city council, and George W. Porter, city councilman, who ti-cl their official positions to lend the petition the ap pearance of an officinl proto-t. Itcames and thoso who tako tho name view of tho question as ho does, bcllcvo that It would not bo for tho best interests of Med ford to demand a chango In tho slto now. Ho asks rather sarcastically why thoso who profess to bo dissatisfied, did not show somo enterprises and public spirit when tho matter was still open. Instead of putting up tho prlco on property that might havo been con sidered available It seems useless for tho Oregon delegation to tako any steps to re open tho question of tho site. This position Is strengthened in view of tho growing difficulty of securing ap propriations for public buildings. It Is pretty well understood hero that there will bo no pork barrel, or "om nibus" publlo buildings bill, at this session, and tho public buildings com mittee has notified members that ap propriations for public buildings will be taken up on their individual merits and only on tho scoro of ur gent necessity. It Is hardly prob able that this edict will bo with drawn, and the main question will be, therefore, what constitutes an urgent necessity. WORKS, SAYS MYKIIS UROKK FAITH O.V BILIi WASHINGTON, Dec. 22 Speak ing on tho floor of tho scnato, Sena tor Works of California this after noon charged Senator Myers, of Mon tana, chairman of tho public lands committee "with a breach of faltb by reporting out the Hetch Ilctcby bill whilo a number of Its opponents were out of the city.

On tho same date, a charter amendment limiting tho life of fran chise to thirty-years was defeated by a voto of 172 against to 171 for. One Juue 5, 1907 tho mayor and recorder of Med ford Issued a procla mation which was published in tho Medford Tribune Juno C, ll07, giv ing tho Condor Water & Power com pany a lease of tho Klectrlc lighting plant of tho city of Medford for twcnty-flvo years with an option to purcbaso said plant within five years for $20,000.00.
