The Til Taylor Memorial Association
was born last night in the meet'n~ of
the Pendleton Commercial Associaa
ton. A committee of five wa. . :.
to form the nucleus of an association
lose purpose shall be to handle ar
rangements for the memorial to Una
| tilla countys late sheriff. cooperating
with other organizations to that end.
c. H Marsh, county Judge; John
Vaughan, mayor of Pend1eton; H. ~.
Collins. president of the Round Up
| association; James H. Sturgis, presi-
dent of the Rotary club, and J. R.
Association, were named on this COM
mittee. They will call to the organic
alton other persons in the county and
state who were close friends of the
man to be honored, thus expanding the
organization.
The committee just named is intend
ed to take the initiative in organizing
the memorial association and TO see
..4t proper progress is made. Per
sons prominent in Umatilla county and
the state, representatives from or
ganizations of which the late sheriff
was a member and state officials prob
tbly will be drawn to the membership.
The working committee. however. will
be as compact and centralized as pos
sible in order to facilitate the handl-
ing of this large undertaking.
Thus was the plan of action sum-
married. after considerable discussion
by men prominent in local affairs
last night. 1t was pointed out that
Governor Olcott, Mayor Baker, of
Portland, C. s. jackson of Portland,
and other well-known persons in the
state should be included in the asso-
citation. They will have more than a
passive part to play. it was pointed
out.
Civic bodies, fraternal orders and
professional associations will be rep
resented in the, plan tentatively outlin-
ed by the Commercial Association.
The sense of the meeting was that
the undertaking was of such gravity as
to warrant a governing body of it's
own responsible to none of the bodies
now existing.
No time is to be lost in getting un-
der way the major body and the rails
ing of funds. Already contributions
have come to various persons here to
be turned over to the memorial fund.
The committee of five desires to get
a publicity campaign started immed-
ately and to strike while the iron is
hot. Present indications are for an
appeal that will be statewide.
The motion to initiate the memorial
move last night was made py tren
Steiwer He declared that the matter
Is SO important as to require body OF
its own to handle. He suggested an
association so organized as to insure
the general cooperation of all the peo-
pie.
IN addition to taking up this move
the association passed resolutions on
the death of Sheriff Taylor to be sent
his family. This was done through
committee composed of Fred StelWer,
