FULTON DEFENDS ACTION
matter is now in the hands of
a committee.
It was someone's business to
make the proper petition for the
free city , mail delivery. This
matter is also now in the baoda
of a committee.'
' There was also a sentiment
created that will assist towsrds
having: our houses' numbered
and our sidewalks bettered.
. All this as the resilt of one
meeting. ' At tbe next meeting
other matters of a public nature
will doubtless be ; acted upon
La Grande can accomplish much
this year, ' and the way to ac
complish it is through the Comr
mercial Clnb. If you are not a
member you are certainly miss
ing an opportunity to assist in
me upbuilding or to is com
munity.
Senator Fulton, whose name

reaiea from data, of this call. La
not they are correct copies of
letters I wrote, but I do not see
that they call for . any explana
tion. I have written very many
letters for citizens of Oregon
concerning, matters pending be-
ore the Commissioner of the!
General Land Office, Commis
kio.ivrvi Pensions and other
departments, It may be that
I have been imposed, upon at
times. I make no reference, of
course, to any . pending case,
but I can easily see that : it is
possible lhaveattimes written
letters in support ot claims
which, if all the facts concern
ing them had been known to
me at the time, I could not have
endorsed
"Blue what shall I do? Shall
I refuse to assist any person? I
cannot make distinctions. I.
must treat all alike; I must re
present none or represent all.
Of course, if I should have good
reason to suppose that a party
was presenting a fraudulent
claim, it would be iny duty to
refuse to assist him.. But how
can I know? I must rely on his
word. I cannot go into an in
vestigation of every inanV claim
That is the duty of the several
departments. Hence it seems
te me that I muat act for all or
decline to act for any, and, to do
the latter is out of the question.
"The fect is that the greater
portion of a Congressman's time
is taken up with matters pend
ing before the departments. To
be relieved of that work would
be a great relief to the member,
but how would it please his con
stituents? I have neither ex
planation nor apology to offer
for what I have done." -
Grande. Oregon, April 7. 1005.
t 1 J WALSH, Uity Treasurer,
When the cement side walks
are all in on Adams avenue and
Depot street, the appearance of
La Grande will be greatly en
hanced. La Grande is improv
ing and fast taking on the airs
of a city. It is gratify iug to
note that the property owners
are' complying wilh the side
walk ordinauce, so it speaks
volums for their loyalty to the
town..
Organization is absolutely
necessary in public matters,
as was. illuttrated at Tuesday
night's meeting of tha business
men of the Commercial club.
We have all been talking about
making an exhibit for tl.o Lewis
and Clsrk fair but the first
move was made last n;ght.
We . all . have . realized the
necessity of getting in touch in
some manner with the train
loads of home, seekers who, daily
kfevftakr-
There are many Muds of meat,
but we sellnly.the best kind. A
trial order will convince you of
the truth of this statement. We
kill only the best specimens and
kill it correctly.
Our, prices are as low as
consistent with the beat quality.
