this fact, that the resignation was ac
cepted without the least question.
- AiMiiutineii,i Now.
If press dispatches ar correct. Pres
ident Taft will recommend no appoint
ments In Oregon untlj attMa Ihe special
session of congress, March lSf Then,
Aft.r aHleitlon of h hnlf-doKpn who
ir! eekltiP. the olflce Im made, It will'
renal re several days al leant to procure I
the proper bonds. So, It may be some '
time, in April before Mr. Roberts s
relieved from dutyand agnln. It may
be much sooner thun that.
' Many After Job,
The list of applicants for the re
ceivership Is both large and varied,
Including several competent men from
La Grande, some of Baker City, and,
some of Pendleton. Wires will be set
to work at once and the anxious seat
will be crowded- until Taft speaks the
name.
JtotK'rtH Retires.
Prior to entering the public office
Mr. Roberts was a skilled realty man,
and It Is that field which will attract
his attentions as soon as he Is relieved
here. It will not be In La Grande,
but no doubt In other parts of Oregon
that he will open a real estate office.
His early training was along that line
and he will soon be able to build up
a lucrative private business.
While In La Grande Mr. Roberts
has been Identified with political, so
cial and fraternal affairs, always en
joying the utmost confidence of all
who know him. It was the Portland
dallies that gave wide publicity to a
request Interpreted by them to mean
confession of sins, when Mr.' Roberts
asked for an expert to straighten .out
hlB bopks. Because the honest request
was wrongfully Interpreted, Mr. Rob
erts Integrity was questioned by those
who knew him least, but the action of
the land' office department, which i
no respecter of persons, fully exoner
ates the receiver and he will continue
to hold prior respects from friends
and acquaintances both in La Grande
and the state at large.
'The following dispatch throws addi
tional light on the matter from a
Washington point of view:
Washlngtong. March 8. Represen
tative Ellis today placed in the hands
of Secretary of the Interior BalHnger
the resignation of A. A. Roberts, re
ceiver of the La Granne land office,
and It was Immediately accepted.
Mr. Roberts' resignation was volun
tary. The Investigation that had been
under way for three months disclosed
that the books of the office were In
bad shape, but there was no evidence
of wrongdoing on the part of Mr.
Roberts, though his administrative
methods had been lax. Mr. Roberts
tendered his resignation several weeks
ago, but Mr. Ellis thought It Inadvis
able to present It until after the change
of administration. It Is expected that
his successor will be appointed soon
after congress convenes.
