The letter follows: ' Portland, Ore., July tT, 1908. j Editor La Grande Evening Observer, ' La Grande, Oregon. :' ' - 1 Dear Sir: Having Just returned from ji trip into Washington, I find a marked copy of your Interesting pa per on my desk, headed "Pat Lavey Ib Haooy."' i' ! ,s.-.. Fearing that Patrick bail "swollen the returns" a little relative to myself, at the same time knowing how a few readers would say, "What bouquets these fellows do throw 'at each other," I must nevertheless place the respon sibility where It belongs. It Is true Pat came to me a green little Irishman, direct from his native land. His honest face and always gen tlemanly manners appealed to me at first; when the boys used to have Pat running after a "half round square" or a package of muckets, he always accommodated them ' and ' when he learned the Joke, joined In their laugh ter as heartily as though fie Joke were on some of the 'other boys. He was a boy of unusual Integrity. Knew not what fear "meant, and would fight at the drop of the hat for what he thought was right, always taking the part of the weaker boys, or the under dog.' - ' '''. Placing honor above everything, lit tle Pat was sorely tempted. Many Umea I left him alone with articles. he not only coveted but rather' Wor shipped, he never wavered, the most coveted - prizes were as safe In Fat's hands as though securely locked In a vault.' Could a man help but be kind to a boy likii that? Doesn't Pat de serve a good friend? - With a heart as large as his frail little body, with mischievous young America around him, he stood almost alone. The making; of another gallant Phil Sheridan and from Just such stuff came my little Pat I contend that such traits of character never die In a boy but grow and expand. He would break his neck before his word. La Grande may Indeed feel proud of him, and what he says of La Grande and Its people I would vouch for. Pat cannot tell an untruth. He will have us all "boosting" for what we have heard as '"that beautiful Grande Ronde Ask anyone 5 country" and .the lively, pretty little fitted. " 5 ' . . . . i ours very irury, . . O. P.
