i Why A Land Office?
I When congressmen 'from the effete east decided a few
days ago to do away with about all tho land offices in the
west except one now and then in a ten thousand mile radius
ihe question arose at once, "Why a laud office, anyhow?"
Easterners immediately echoed the question and they said
here is a chance to use economy. l!ut for the v.oiit of tb
western congressmen headed by Nick Simmtt tlio.so eastern
ers would have laid low forever most of the land offices in
the northwest.
I Let us see, "why a land office?" A few days ago Uhmv
Were lined up in the La Orande office transacting business
With the government of the United States the following
people: Albert Lewis, Karl U. Chandler and Kdward llla. k
of Elgin; F. G. Giles, Otto K. Schiller and Lee L. Schiller,
who cnmo fium mile? "A"f llakov. b lm Collins, Trod I
Kosson, Ilolo Van liiber of Spiay, which is 50 miles south
enBt of Ileppner.
These men came to La Grande to look after their lands.
If there had been no land office here they wouM have had
to travel on to Ontario, then take a branch lino mad and
go to Vale or to Ihirns, whichever land office remain d al
ter the eastern congressmen finished their whittling. It
would hnvc meant days more tiavul, heavy expense to th"
land owneiu and would certainly have sivnl the govern,
meat little or nothing because mine help woold m-cesaaiitv
have had to io employed in the few ol'lii es Ui.it wouM '
have been left.
We pi vp this to rhmv liv in tin i pii il of ft'iMoin" j
people who d imt mulntnnd a condi'ion may rntiu-U j
wrong in thpir views. i
Incidentally it might le n!so mentioned that the io'-rl !
land office causes con.sidenilile htisiness to eonte to 1 i i
Grande, for every man who travels any distance stays heie)
for a day or two. makes purchases and sealteis some nlj
his money in the cash registers of La Grande. '
It was an act of wise economy all mound for the east-1
em congressmen to-have been defeated in their endeavor
to kill the western land offices. I
