Between
Officer and Architect
at the Soldiers Home

The matter of the trouble between
Commandant Markee of the Oregon
Soldiers Home at Roseburg and Arch
iteet Thompson, who is in charge of
the construction of the new hospital
for the home, resulting in the COM
mandant ordering Architect Thompson
off the grounds, was taken up by the
state board of control yesterday when
the architect arrived here to lay the
matter before that body. As a result
the board notified the commandment
that the architect was to be treated
with every courtesy when he was at
the home on business. Architect
Thompson said that the commandant
mentioned using a bullet if he did not
leave the grounds. There is reported
to be some dissatisfaction among some
members of the boarS over the admin
istration of Commandant Markee and
it is possible that he may be unseated
and Ex-Commandant Elder given an
other chance. At the time Markee was
chosen Secretary Olcott voted for Ed
er and Treasurer Kay and Governor
Withycombe for Markee. This phase
of the matter was left over until the
next board meeting when Governor
Withycombe will be present,
