That It Is going to require some ac-
tive work on part Of Pendleton and
Umatilla county to secure the loca-
ton OF the headquarters Of the feder-
al court In this city is shown by the
following letters from Senator Full
ton and Congressman Ellis In answer
to the messages from Pendleton Com
mercial association and Pendleton
business men urging the location OF
the headquarters here.
While nothing definite has been
done by congress in the matter, as
yet, there is every reason to believe
that Pendleton must make an excel
lent showing to win the location.
II is believed that the statistical
report taken from the calendar of the
federal court at Portland will be an
excellent argument in favor OF PEN
dleton, yet It is the sentiment of bus
mess men that delegation should be
sent to Washington to urge the matter
more vigorously there.

Hon. p. c. Taylor. ct al,
Committee,
Pendleton, oregon.
Gentlemen:
have Just received your telegram
in which you inform me of the ac-
ton OF the citizens In mass meeting
in relation TO the federal court bill.
1t is always a difficult and delicate
task for a delegation TO choose be-
tween individuals or localities. When
/ came to the senate found the bill
for a new judicial district pending and
1t provided for making Baker City
the headquarters for the court /
took up the bill and went to work on
1t. Last year | reintroduced 1t and
secured its passage through the sem
ate. but II failed in the house. This
year l took II up again. still leaving
Baker City the headquarters for the
court, introduced II and secured IA.
the senate. Now, after Baker City
had been in the bill so long without
protest and was In the bill when
came to the senate, for me to have
taken Il out would have been a clear |
case of evidence of hostility to that |
city. l can well understand that any
city would have pride in having the
court located there, but after all the |
important thing is the creation Of the
new district. l endeavored TO have a |
provision inserted authorizing the |
holding of two terms OF court in
Pendleton per annum, but the COM
mittee was opposed to It on the
ground OF the increased expense. II
was very difficult indeed to secure a
favorable report on the bill at all.
other places where the showing for
business is a great deal stronger were
rejected. Now, OF course, Mr.. Ellis
will try 10 have the bill amended in
the house so as to give two terms at
Pendleton, but II he cannot get that,
do you wish the bill defeated entirely
or IL you cannot get Pendleton made
the headquarters, do you prefer that
no bill be passed creating a new dis
trict? Any considerable friction along
such lines will serve to defeat the bill
entirely, because II is indeed very
doubtful whether Mr.. Ellis can sue
ceed in getting a favorable report
from the house committee in any
event.
Sincerely yours.
