Al Jones, tells how it came about that the bill for the change of boundary between Uniin ond Wallowa counties was-passed at tho last session of the legislature. Mr. Jones says: "I have yours of January 7th and was indeed surprised to learn tnac the Boundary Bill, 'House Bill Num ber 214,' was a new thing to the res idents of Wallowa county, and espec ially as 1 had always supposed that it had been up before the Jourt wnne you were a member, as I had heard it talked about during my campaign in a groat many places, the reason be ing for a change was that the bound ary line of Wallown county, especially along the west and south, being tho Grande Rondo and Minam rivers, was so irregular and crooked that it would cut into and back again in certain for ties and there was a great deal of land which was not assessed in either county on account of same. Another thing was the assessors of both coun ties asked for same, so I was told, along section lines for the convenience that it might make. They gave me to understand thnt there was about an even break both ways by that accord ing to tho new boundary line, as I could very well see, as also did the committee on Counties when they ex amined the Bill, that it would be easier to assess tho land and of course there would naturally not be any over-looked in tho assessment, "I am very sorry to know that Wallown hill was, by this Bill, made a pnrt of Wallowa county, if such is the case, but according to my map, which was sent to me by Mr. Allen, tho assessor, I can not see it thnt way although you are better acquainted with that immodinte part of the coun ty, and I may be twisted on my di rections. It does not run in the chnnge a full section or very iwr it west from the junction of the Wallowa and Minam rivers, but thought it Tim north of the Wallowa county hill, al though the map shows it takes in Mi nam townsHe. "I will say that the map was sent me, if I remember, by Mr. Allen, your county assessor, and in a letter, of which I have a copy, which Mr. Rudd wrote, for certain changes in the 'Boundary Bill and which I had some trouble in getting changed being at the late hour it was.' "I think this has answered your first question which you asked, 'Who asked to have these boundaries chang ed in this manner'. ' . Your second question "Why was the matter kept secret uncil the present time?" I will have i.o answer by say ing that yourso'f, as well as a great many others in Wallowa and Union counties, were on my mailing li&t and should have re-.-sieil copies of ull bills pertaining to my district, but in this particular one I remember quite well in sending some twenty extra copies to difforci.t ones in Unim and Wallowa countie-, although I do not remember who t'iay were, but do know that the house calendars were kept a'. the County Clerk'? office very npar co'.tinuously a'.d if nor sc the copies v-v-re tl ere eva'y f nir n- fie and this Bill is mentioned in the Calendar as House Bill Number 142, introduced by myself, at the request, as I have said before, of the Assessor of Wal lowa county, Mr. Allen, and very nlsinlv states that it is to chancre the boundaries between-Umatilla, Union I ond Wallowa counties, so I do 'not . 1 1 1 T 1 It T 1 LninK, nor uo i nnow wmi. it im evssr been a secret, and will say as far as I am concerned that it never has been and if there was any 'catch' in it, It certainly was kept from me, and as I did with all other bills when there was no complaint against the Bill or re monstrance why I certainly supposed that it was alright and suited the mas ses interested. j "Of course I voted for the Bill for: I introduced it myself. I did not push the Bill to any extent as it was not necessary for the committee on coun ties examined it according to the map, which I am going to return by today's mail to the County Clerk's office at Enterprise for the convenience of the Dublic, so they may readily see that I had no personal interest in the matter other than being asked, by a reident of the county to introduce the Bill, the same as I did with a great many oth ers which were sent to me, in fact, ev eryone which I received. "I am certain that if this Bill was introduced to defraud that it can be remedied and if to defraud Wallowa county (out of any assessable prop erty) I will certainly take it upon my self, if I am well and living at the time the next session of the 'Legis lature convenes, to see that it is changed back to where it was. The copies of these leters I have mentioned are in the office here and will be sent to anyone for the asking. so that I may make myself clear to ! nil who are concerned. "Hoping thnt this is r.ot as bad as you think it is, as myself and fam ily are financialy interested in the as sessable property of Wallowa county to an extent that is possibly greater than the majority of the tax-payers of A BARBER TOLD ME THIS SAID ONCE HIS JAW WAS DIS LOCATED SO HE.
