Secretary Zetterberg is in receipt
Of letter from our congressman Geo.
M. Young this morning that will be Of
interest to those who have watched
with interest the slow progress being
made in the new post Office matter.
Mr.. Young's matter explains the mat
ter in detail and is printed in full:
Washington, D. C. June IA, 1913.
My Dear Mr.. Zetterberg:
AS I-have had a number of inquiries
about the Federal building for Valley
City l have concluded to write to you,
giving the situation in relation thereto
at this time.
First of all, the Public Buildings Act
passed by Congress March 4th, 1913.
was not an appropriation bill. Under
that bill the Supervising Architest is
authorized to prepare plans for the
erection of those buildings mentioned
In the Act. In other words It auth.
orizes the architect to proceed with
the preparation of the plans and in a
way commits Congress to the differ
ent projects mentioned in the Act. 1t
will be necessary hereafter to secure
appropriations from Congress TO con-
struct the buildings planned by the
supervising architect. -..
The status Of building construction
at the time the Act of March 4th, 1913
became law was as follows:
Projects authorized by legislation
prior thereto, not under contract

accepting the honor, said that he new

therefore appreciated him the more,
since he knew that his name was that

tary disclaimed that his name was
Robert Emmett, but O'Malley would
not stand for 1t and so in the archives
of the vice president that name will
stand as a fixture. Mr.. O'Malley was
nominated for the Office by Hon. Lee

address wherein he said his candidate

LoG-cuTTING CASE.

A. S. Leonard has made charges
against a Mr.. Souller for cutting
timber on his land Mr.. Leonard de-
clines to talk for publication, but the
following is given by the city press:
Some time since affidayits were
made in West Feliciana Parish by A.
S. Leonard, owner of timber lands,
charging Anton Souller, prominent
and wealthy lumber shipper, with hav-
ing cut trees on his property without
right or authority Yesterday Detect
i've Joseph McCabe arrested Souller,
charging him with being fugitive
from justice, and, as is usual in such
cases, no bond was fixed at first.
According to Souller's story, the
matter is a petty affair and the amount
really involved does not exceed So.
He said that during the months OF
February and April last timber was
cut from Leonards land in error. His
agent, while cutting timber, cut seven
trees on Leonard's land, being unable
to distinguish the property line owing
| to high water When the fact was
called to his attention he at once as
certained the size of the trees cut and
RENTED to Leonard a check for the
timber, basing the amount upon the
highest market prices prevailing at the
time. The check was for 5000. Leon
ard returned the check, claiming SO
more, and invited Souller to visit him
and arrange the matter Souller
thought that the amount of difference
was so trifing that it was not worth
going to st. Franccisville for and no
settlement was reached. The result
was his arrest yesterday.
During the forenoon bond was fixed
in the sum of $3.50. F. A. Middleton
signed the bond and Souller was re-
leased. The officers of West Feliciana
parish have been notified of his arrest
and will probably arrive here today"
