COMPLAINS OF DUMP GROUND
"North Slider" Wants Baseball Park
Cleaned UD,

Pendleton, Ore, March 16.-(Edi-
tor East Oregonian.)-As this is the
cleaning up crusade and see a Wig
orous kick in E. o. from some poor
fellow in the vicinity of the Lee
Street bridge where he got a few
whiffs of smoke from a burning dump
on the north bank of the river.
That same man had ought to live
down at the west end where we have
had a dumping ground under our
nose for years and fires burning for
month at a time with the prevail
ing winds from the southwest blow
ing smoke and odors of rotten ma
nure up Court street and over the
side of the river yet we must, or at
least 1t seems as though we must,
give up to it. AS the grounds be-
longs to wealthy parties and the city
authorities seem to have no control
over it.
During the flood May 80, 'O6, this
same dump ground was swept clean
of all rubbish and filth and orders
were posted to dump no more refuse
there but now it is as bad as ever.
think If the city is going to take
the trouble to clean up the Lee street
dump it would be a good idea to pay
your respects to the dump grounds
near the Old Ball park which will
do a greater amount of good to a
greater number of people.

the law department In 1889 with the
degree of doctor of law.
AS a student he was an able speak
er and debater and became promi-
nent in all the literary and profess
sional circles of the university and
when he returned to Pendleton to
enter life as an attorney on his own
responsibility he was a polished ora
tor and convincing debater and al
ways ranked high IN his profession
and as public speaker and public
spirited citizen.
Soon after his graduation he came
to Pendleton and again became as
sociated with Cox and Minor, re-
naming with them from July, 1889,
until January /, 1890, when they
moved to Portland and young HALEY
embarked in the profession of the
law on his own account.
The first public office held by Mr..
HALEY was that of clerk of the su-
preme court at Pendleton. a position
which he held from 1889 to 1892.
In 1892 he was married to Miss
Meud L. Beach of Iowa and they have
| two daughters.
In 1892 he was appointed deputy
district attorney for the sixth judici-
al district, and at the same time
formed a law partnership with Steph-
en- A. Lowell, which partnership last
ed until October, 1885. when Lowell
was appointed circuit judge of the
Sixth district.
Mr.. HALEY then formed a partner
ship with Judge Fee and John L.
Austin, the firm maintaining offices
in Pendleton and Union. After the
dissolution of the firm he practiced
alone, except for a time when he was
associated with the late John ]. Bal
leray, and still later, with Judge S. A.
Lowell with whom he was associated
when appointed to the supreme bench
of oregon by Governor Chamber
lain.
In 1896 he was nominated by the
democrats for circuit judge of the
Sixth district but was defeated by
his former law partner, Judge Steph-
en- A. Lowell in three cornered race
In 1900 he was nominated by the
democrats for district attorney of
the Sixth judicial district and was
elected by a handsome plurality over
James A. Fee. In December, 1901,
he was elected mayor of Pendleton
for a two year term and served for
four years on the district school
board.
In public and private life he was
always fair and honest, fighting po-
litical opponents in the open and al
ways standing for law enforcement
and good government.
Upon the appointment of Judge
Charles L, Wolverton to the federal
judgship in this state Mr.. HALEY was
appointed to the supreme bench of
Oregon by Governor Chamberlain
and held this position until relieved
by Judge Robert Eakin, who was
elected in 1906 over Mr.. HALEY who
was the democratic candidate. After
retiring from the bench he engaged
in the practice of law In Portland.
associated with Chamberlain and
Thomas, and lived in the Oregon me-
tropolis until his death.
He was largely interested in farm
ing and range land in Umatilla
county and only few months ago
sold a quarter section of excellent
wheat land near Athena. He owned
one of the finest herds of dairy cows
in Oregon and had made extensive
improvements on his dairy farm on
Wild Horse creek before leaving here
two years ago.

Because the citys garbage dumping
ground is surrounded by water the

ed upon the rounds this morning and
it will likely be several days before
they will be sent forth. In the mean
time those who have not yet gotten
their piles of garbage in readiness for
the garbage teams may complete their

The high water has assisted the
city in the clean up crusade by
washing away the piles of manure
and garbage that had been dumped
in the river bed by the Lee street
bridge. In this particular at least
the flood has been a blessing to the
community.
