THE NEW PRINTING OFFICE
Talk Of Putting 1t Where the B. and P.
Station Now Stands
An Appropriation to Make Tests for
to Go to Wsck at Once.

Chairman Bankhead IL going ahead
promptly with the efforts to secure a site
Tor the new government printing Office in
accordance with the Instructions from the
House. In the House this morning he Sc
cured the passage of a resolution appropri-
ating $1,000 with which to make borings to
ascertain the character Of the soil and it's
fitness for a foundation at the various
places on government reservations in the
city.
As the appropriation is to come out of the
contingent fund of the House 1t is immedi-
ately available and the subcommittee will
go to work at once.
A movement is on foot in the House COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds to
recommend the use of the ground now oc-
cupied by the Baltimore and Potomac de-
pot and tracks as a site for the government
printing office Talks with several men,
bers Of the committee today by a Star re-
porter showed that there Is a strong senti-
ment In the committee In favor Of this
plan. 1t was proposed by a member of the
committee this morning and seemed to meet
with general favor. 1t is proposed by the
advocates of the plan to require the Balti-
more and Potomac company to remove its
buildings and tracks from the government
reservation which they now occupy and to
place them somewhere else; the committee
doesn't care where, SO that 1t is not on
government reservation.
The members who are advocating this
plan urge In favor of 1t that the Baltimore
ana Potomac has no right on that reserya-
ton, that 1t is simply a squatter and Is
occupying land which belongs to the gov
ernment.
lnasmuch as the House has stipulated
that the new public printing office must be
located on public reservation, and as there
seems TO be strong sentiment In the House

II Is claimed that this location would be
the most feasible one for the purpose
Moreover 1t would rid the city they saw OF
a nuisance which has long been complained
about.
The proposition advanced this morning
mas met with so much favor already that
the full committee will start out tomorrow
morning. accompanied by Col Wilson, supar-
intendent of public buildings and grounds
TO make an investigat ton Of this site and
or others. Chairman Bankhead has the
>l'Uu appropriated this morning to his
cfedit, and Is ready to begin operations to-
ward testing the ground whenever the com
mIttee desires to do so.
II Is the purpose OF the committee IL is
said, TO prosecute the work of selecting a
site with the utmost dispatch, so that the
matter may be brought up in the House at
the earliest date possible.

prepossessing lady to conductor on
the Washington street line as il ar
rived at a certain corner, a few eve
nings ago. "Oh no, don't stop the
car" she remarked, as the conductor
reached for the bell cord. ''The Lord

paid no further attention TO the lady
and she went out on the rear platform,
attempted to step off on the crossing
aud went sprawling upon the street.
Some persons who witnessed the affair
rushed to her assistance and picked
her up, muddy and badly shocked.
She was recognized as one of the most
prominent faith curists in the city,
whose name has been sensationally
mentioned in the newspapers during
the past few months. The Lord, how.
ever, did not make very graceful job

Another Defaulter.


The faith Of the people Of Linn coun-
ty IN their officials has been sorely
tried in the dishonest practices Of
Supt. Russell. No man believed that
any one of our court house officials
would take n dishonest dollar. In none
was their trust more freely given, and
by none could it be more basely be-
trayed. Human nature is weak and
may err, and can often be forgiven;
but no man can palliate the crime of
robbing school children Of the money
that taxpayers have paid for their ed
ucation-especially when the robber
was at the head Of the schools of the
county.
Poverty could not have been Russell's
excuse, for his salary was an ample
one and his legitimate expenses were
not great Circumstances would indi-
cate that recently acquired fondness
for fast company has been his down.
fall.
Russell was under no bonds, as the
law does not suppose q superintendent
to handle county funds. Hence there
are no bondsmen to make good the
losses, and these losses will have to be
met by park who have been duped.
A rigid search should be made for
the defaulter, and speedy justice meted
out to him. His whereabouts are now
unknown, but he cannot escape. 1t is
possible that he has gone to Hawaii
l He visited those islands last spring
probably at the cost of his dupes.
His system of robbery was well
planned. In some cases he obtained
the money from the county treasurer
by forging the names of the clerks il
outlying districts. He also drew
money for districts rot in existence, by
using fictitious names. He also in
creased the number of school childrel
in the county by several hundred an(
thus made another haul. He pocketet
the fees received from applicants 70
certificates. The amount thus cbtaine,
will reach several thousand dollars
He has also run his credit in Alban,
to large amount.
Attachments have been issued an
his goods have been taken.
His wife has returned to her father
house, and is said to have refused
joia hai husband. Much sympathy
given the unfortunate wife and lit
ones.

EDITOR EXPRESS:

EDITOR EXPRESS:
The Oregonian, in an editorial, on
Jan. 80 says; "The first cause Of the
present deficiency of the revenues was
the repeal of the sugar tariff in the
Mckinley act, which cut off nearly
sixty million dollars since the law
went into effect"
Now we have been taught that The
foreigner paid the tax. Have we been
wrongly informed? Had the tariff re-
mained on sugar, who would have paid
that immense sum of two hundred
million dollars? Would sugar have
been just as cheap as 1t is now, or
would it have been higher? Is it not
solid fact that the greater part of this
vast sum would have been paid by the
so called common people?
Kindly answer plainly, so we can
all understand this great question.
