time, and have lived here continuous
ly since.
During his 35 years residence in
Pendleton. Mr.. Matlock has played a
very prominent part in the develop
ment of the city and his progressive
spirit was never more manifest than
in his last years. Left a cripple by
typhoid fever five years ago, and
suffering recurrent attacks of the i'll
ness of which he finally died ever
since, he has nevertheless continued
in the development of his holdings
here. Almost contemporaneous with
his death is the completion of the new
S15O,O00 Pendleton Hotel. the build
ing OF which he financed and super
intended.
Besides the hotel. Mr.. Matlock
owned at his death a half dozen of
brick blocks in the city besides n
great deal of residence property
Practically all of his wealth he in
vested in the city with which he had
been identified for so many years. In
this way he testified to his faith in
Penileton and Pendleton many times
recognized this faith by honoring him
at the polls.
Though his own personal business
made heavy demands upon him, he
yet found time to be of service to the
citizens of his town and county. For
seventeen years he was identified with
the administration of the city. either
as mayor or councilman. Three times
he was elected to the council and at
his death was serving his fifth term
as mayor. He was chosen mayor
first in 1883, again in 1903, 1905, 1911
and 1918. He represented Umatilla
county two terms in the lower house
of the legislature and also served two
/ terms as senator. He rendered Other
! public service as a member OF the
state board of agriculture for 81
years. He was president of this
hoard in 1909 when serious illness
compelled him to resign. BY virtue
of an appointment from Governor
Moody. he was at one time general OF
