Few of City Officials Of That
Day Are Now in PendIetOn;
Treasurer Got $40 Month.

(Eary history of the Round-Up
City is here detailed by Mr. Lockley,

ago, reviews the fire departent of the
pioneer period, and pays tribute TO
that staunch and sterling institution,

A day or two ago rode DOWN ON a
Sunrfyside car with an oldtime resi-
dent of Eastern Oregon, who in the
early '90s had serv d two terms as city
treasurer of Pendleton. But few of
the city officials of that day are now
in Pendleton.
In 1891. 80 years ago, Jonn c. Lea
sure was mayor. He came from the
Willamette valley. having been born
en- a farm in Marion county on June
2. 1854. He was a lawyer and located
in Pendleton in the spring Of 1880. He
was elected mayor of the city in 1855
and in the election held on December
:. 1891. was again elected.
Clark Wood, now editor of the Wcs-
ton Leader, was city treasurer and re-
ceived $40 month for his services.
clark Wood worked for many years on
the East Oregonian and for some time
was a member of the staff of The Ore
gon Journal. He came to Cm2tilla
county in the early '70s, when he was
two years old.
George r. Lash was city recorder,

and economically administered. In the
working out of this complicated ques-
ton we must keep steady in mind the
rights and interests of the farmers
of our state. Their happiness and
prosperity is of the very essence Of
our states life. They are entitled to
be heard and represented in any sys-
TEN that may be devised. They ask
nothing but which is just and right
and they will not willingly submit to
anything less.
"In the consideration of all these
questions, as we'll as any other leg
Iislation that you may have in mind, |
urge upon you to respect the views
and guard the rights of both capital
and labor. Each has a right to have
voice in our government for both
are of the heart and foundation Of all
our progress. We cannot get along
without the help of both. The spirit
and energy of labor and the content
ment and encouragement of capital,
are the fundamental requisites to a
successful conclusion of any program
that we may outline. Capital
and labor are each much dependant
upon the other and the cultivation
of spirit of tolerence of the one
toward the other and more whole
some respect and regard of the rights
of each should be our one endeavor.
"Such of our acts in these under
takings as may be called into legal
question will be judged by the judi
cial branch of the government and fl
nally all will be judged by the peo-
pie.
These are the paramount ques-
lions which are at this time mention
ed only in outline, but which will be
discussed more with you in detail at
a more seasonable time.
Throughout this work | have but
one wish for you: That your labors
will be of such excellence that history
will record you as body exemplify-
ing the highest order of constructive
craftsmanship.
"As for me | cherish no higher am
bition than by your sympathetic CO.
operation may become as acceptable
a governor as brother predecessor
whose face looked on for the last
time in this very hall and whose spirit
worked SO effectively TO aid in secur-
ing my elevation to this exalted posi-
ton.
Gentlemen of the assembly, if
there was ever time when public
servants should forget politics and
join hands and minds in united effort
to uphold Tennessee, that time is
NOW. But it is not enough that we
subdue our partisan bias and preju-
dice-we ought in this hour of chaos
and uncertainty to turn to God Al
mighty for guidance. From Him
alone can mortal man receive that
wisdom and that strength needed to
wisely work for the elevation of man
kind"

3 4 this moment. Oppressed,
Fbf6dden, reduced to hestial ignor-
ance by the, tyrannies ofsezard6mz for
centuries, the ignorant, degraded Rus
sian masses, melted by violent, in.
sane leaders, have risen as a savage
destructive force, unparalleled in all
history. Ignorance of the masses is
the fertile soil of anarchy; strife
mongers and prison squads are its
husbandmen; and destruction, whole
sale and universal, is its harvest.
There can be no real and enduring
civilization without universal popular
education. And education is prog
ress forever upwards towards a high
er life. The very word itself means to
unfold and develop the dormant pow
ers and faculties of the mind even as
under the mystic power of nature the
bud is brought forth and unfolds into
blade and bloom and fruitage.
"Christian education is not only the
bedrock of our civilization, but it is
the hope of the world. The school
houses of our state and the forces in
charge of them constitute the manu-
featuring plants Of enlightened citi-
zenship. There is no evil, whether
moral, industrial or political, with
which we have to contend, that can
not be eradicated by the application of
Christian intelligence. The most po-
tent agency for the propagation,
maintenance, spread and preserva-
tion of such Christian intelligence is
the school.
II is a matter of common knowl-
edge that our rural schools have been
neglected. The child living in the
country, in the matter of educational
advantages, does not have an equal
chance with the child who lives in the
city. The rural organization and re-
generation of our school system on a
more efficient basis is absolutely inn
perative.
Closely related to the question of
rural schools is the question of public
highways. Indeed, the establishment
of a network of highways is essential
to the successful settlement of the
question of rural education. A school
house, though adequately equipped
with teachers and supplies for teach
ing, viii always be an unrealized

diality as comrades and co-workers in
the great task that is before us.

choice and mandate of our sovereign
constituents, invested with the dele
gated power to carry on the legisla-
tive and executive branches of our
government, to shape it's policies and
administer its great affairs.
at is primarily essential that we
enter this far-reaching work in unre-
served spirit of harmony, cooperation
and coordination, to the end that we
serve the highest interests of the
commonwealth and promote the well
fare, happiness and prosperity of all
the people. In order to attain this re-
suit it becomes equally essential that
we divest ourselves Of all the handi-
caps Of partisan prejudice and politi-
cal and personal bias. Without this
freedom we can have no cooperation,
no unity of purpose and no harmony
of action.
There are many vital questions
pressing for consideration that will
require the best of your services, but
there are few problems that demand
immediate attention and concentrated
action.
"The rural school problem, the
highway problem, the problem of eco
nomic government, and the problem
of taxation, these four ought not to
escape your ernst attention, and wise
and correct solution of them calls for
a breadth and sympathy of vision, sin
cerity of purpose and ability that
characterizes true craftsmanship.
