To BUILD DEPOT
COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKES UP THE NATTER
VIII Deal Directly With the Railroad
Officials-Committee Appointed to
Confer With General Manager
O'Brien - Railway Commission
Starts the ball TO Rolling-Under-
stood That Plans Are Now Under
Consideration

Believing that quicker action on the
subject Of a depot can be secured by
dealing directly with the railroad Of
ficials the board of managers Of ths
Commercial association passed a res
olution yesterday afternoon directing
that the president appoint a commit,
tee of five to confer with the railroad
people. The committee as selected
is composed Of President R. Alexan-
der, R. H. Wilcox, Leon Cohen, c. E.
Roosevelt and T. c. Taylor.
The resolution which was passed
was introduced by W. L. Thompson
and was as follows:
Pendleton, Ore, June 80, 1908.
Whereas, the railroad commission
Of the state Of Oregon, have address,
ed a communication to the district
attorney of Umatilla county, desiring
to ascertain the need and desire Of
the city OF Pendleton, Oregon, for
more adequate depot facilities, and
Whereas, the commercial interests
OF the city Of Pendleton have been
assured informally by the officials Of
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
company that plans for additional
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-07-01

depot facilities have been and now are
under consideration for the said city
OF Pendleton, be 1t hereby
Resolved, That the president OF the
commercial club of the city Of Pen
dleton appoint committee of five
to confer direct with the railroad
company, with the view Of obtaining
prompt action towards the consum-
nation Of plans leading to the build
ing of a larger and more commodious
depot at the city Of Pendleton, and be
it further
Resolved, That a copy of these res
olutions be transmitted to the railroad
commission and to the officials OF
the railroad company.
Adopted June 80, 1908.
Attest: r. ALEXANDER,
President

at 200 cubic yards. Mr.. Brink, re-
liable mason, bid 23 cents per cubic
foot, which amounts to 1921 per GU
bic yard. Our bid was 1895, which
makes a difference of $2.26 In our
favor and estimating 200 cubic yards
amounts to $442 in favor of our bid
and when added to our previous bal
ance makes $4642. Now, while l am
not from Missouri, l would, neverthe-
less, like to be shown how the COM
mittee could turn down Mr.. Drinks
bid and allow Mr.. Belts to come In
day later and make a bid on stone
masonry as they did, as well as bid
ding 2 cents per square yard less than
our bid on old riprap?
There are several matters that need
explaining to Mr.. Brink and ourselves
and the public. We admit that our
competitor had a lower bid on en-
bankment, excavation and toe wall OF
approximately $500, but what are
YOU going to do when you deduct
$500 from $4642 which leaves a bal
ance still in our favor as lowest bid
der of s2S42. Now II we cannot make
good in this matter you can have $lOO
TO be given TO a Pendleton charity. or
course IL Pendleton is going to be
dead town and never have any more
public work done, and will never need
any more bidders on work, 1t doesn't
make any difference how bids are
juggled-but If you expect to be live
city and go on with civic improve
ments you will need reliable bidders
and you will find them wise as to how
things are done.
There is one other matter that
wish to correct and that Is this:
was credited with saying by the paper
that the reason we did not get
square deal was on account Of the ac'
tive part my father, H. G. Newport
/ took in the anti-saloon fight In oul
county. This l did not say, but now
| want to say that a good many signs
are so plain that those who run may
read.
Now in conclusion will say that
do not wish to cast reflections on the
members of the city council of Pen
dleton. l would rather think that they
had a misconception of the facts II
the case and l believe that after the
matter is gone over and things are
seen in their proper light they vii
favor the calling for new bids and II
so doing let us all get down to straight
forward basis and make bids plair
and clear and let the longest pol'
knock the persimmons.
Yours respectfully,
H.. ROSS NEWPORT,
Supt. Newport L. & c. Co.

PRAISE FOR GWINN.
Pendleton Banker Spoken Of Very
Highly by Boise Paper.

The Boise Capital News says OF
Monte B. Gwinn, president of the
Savings bank and also president of
the oregon Bankers association:
Portland papers convey the infor-
nation that Monte B Gwinn OF PEN
dleton, has been elected president Of
the Oregon State Bankers associa-
ton which has just closed its annual
session.
This is a high compliment paid to
former citizen of Idaho which will
be greatly appreciated by his friends
in this state.
Yet II comes as no surprise to those
who have known that Mr.. Gwinn al
ways makes good" wherever he may
be. His Idaho experience and sue
cess guaranteed that he would be
successful at Pendleton where he has
located.
Beginning in this state years ago
in a modest way, he built up one of
the most flourlshing business houses
in the state. He always took a most
active interest in the advancement
OF the interests Of his community and
of the state at large. He was a d.
rector and stockholder for a number
of years in the First National bank
at Caldwell and a director and vice
president of the Caldwell Banking &
Trust company of the same city, two
of the best banking institutions Of the
state.
In addition to this Mr.. Gwinn was
a stockholder in a number Of smaller
banks throughout this state and east
ern Oregon before leaving Idaho.
He successfully managed the best
meeting the National Irrigation con-
gress ever held at its meeting in
Boise, has held all the principal Off
ces Of the Odd Fellows and Knights
of Pythias Of this state, having been
grand master of the Odd Fellows and
grand chancellor of the Knights Of
Pythias, besides representing both Or
ders in their supreme bodies.
In short, in every line Of activity
ever undertaken by him, he has al
ways been found sooner or later at the
top, and accordingly 1t comes as no
surprise that the bank fraternity OF
Oregon soon recognized his worth and
honored him with the selection as
president Of their state association.

with guns ready, to shoot down
those within when they should try to
make their escape. Walker, with
three of his children, was the first to
come out, and all of them went down
before the deadly rain of bullets
which came from every direction.
His wife who had witnessed the fate
of her husband and children hesita-
ted, but the intense heat of the flames
drove her forth. AS she, with her in
FAINT in her arms, left the burning
building she met storm Of lead from
the guns of the surrounding mob and
was fatally injured, while the infant
was killed. 1t must have been sick
ening sight even to the fiends who
were doing the murderous work to
see that defenseless woman clinging
to her babe with all of an instructive
mothers love-the most sacred and
deathless thing in all of this world
trying to save and protect 1t from
harm, even in that awful hour Of her
utter hopelessness and despair.
Nowhere on earth could there have
been planed and executed deed of
crime more fiendish for ferocity. No
doubt most of the men in that horri-
BILE affair had families, and yet they
could without heart murder the inno-
cent wife and little children who had
nothing to do with what the husband
and father had done, If he had done
anything. 1t is possible that he may
have had words with the white man,
but the other charge is not to be be-
lieved.
To mitigate the demoralizing effect
of the brutal atrocity some kind of
justifying tale had to be concocted
and sent out to the world, so Walker
was accused of cursing white wom-
an But no name was given nor were
the circumstances relative to the ours
ing mentioned. There are reasons why
no name was given, because 1t is not
remotely probable that the man would
have done such a thing.
The killing of Walker should have
appeased the fury of the mob, with
out the slaughtering of his wife and
children. Of course, his offence
against the white matchmaking
the improbable fish story about him
cursirg white woman-did not JUS
tify the General massacre of the en-
tire family.
The annals of crime, nowhere in
| Christendom or heathendom, fur
nish a more reprehensible and hellish
butchery than that for which fifty
men at Hickman, KY, are guilty Of
They outraged the laws of the
land, of humanity and of God,
yet the press reports say that no
arrests have been made and that
it is not probable any will ever be
made.
1t is an awful and an evil day for law
and order wheA such a damnable deed
is allowed to go without any pretense
being made to ferret out the perpe-
traitors. When MacDuff heard of the
Staying of his wife and children by
the order Of Macbeth, exclaimed in
the bitterness of his despair, Did
heaven look on and would not de-
! fend!" But retribution overlook
Macbeth, and it was heaven that sent
it, SO will It ever be that murder
ers will some day, soon or late, ac-
cording to heavens decree of even
handed justice, be called upon to
stand face to face with their crimes.
There would be no need to moralize
thus, were the laws of the land to be
depended on to mete out justice alike
to all its citizens.
