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.

tor Works of California this after
