Last evening af:er many years of acute
suffering, death finally claimed Hon. M.

pioneers of Eastern Oregon.
Mr. Baker belonged to a class of men
who can properly be designated as self
made, lotwithstanding the fact that he
never attended school but six months in
his life he was nevertheless an educated
man. For many years he stood at the
head of the bar of Union cnunty and en
joyed a large renumerative practice. He
was strong m his opinions and convictions
and whatever cause he espoused he threw
his intense energy into the work, which
aside from his profession were largely
devoted to amending the principles of the
Republican party and the cause of tem
perance. Prior to coming to this coast, while a
resident of Iowa he led the state delegation
to the Chicago National Republican Con
vention and took an active part in the se
curing the nomination of Abraham Lincoln
forPreder.t in 1860. He served as
county chairman and secretary of the
Umoh county Republican committees time
ana aga n and until recent years was
always adelegate to our state conventions.

ing one of the first five families to settle
in the city of La Crande.
I Deceased married Miss Elizabeth J.
