Springfield. Or., Feb. 24. Perhaps no
city in Oregon of its size is growing
more rapidly than the little city of
Springfield, three miles east, of Eugene,
on the Woodburn-Natron branch of the
Southern Pacific railway. The census
of 1S10 gave the place a population of
something over 1800, but at the present
time, according to very conservative
estimates, based on school population
and directory figures, not less than 2800
people reside within the limits of the
city. Notwithstanding a temporary set
back caused by the burning of the big
sawmill owned by the Booth-Kelly Lum
ber company last July, building opera
tions have continued at even a', more
rapid rate than ever before, during the
fall and winter.
Several brick and concrete' business
blocks are planned for this spring and
summer, and alreaxly contracts for two,
those to be built by F. A. Rankin and
Bruno Vitus, both of Eugene, have heen
let Both of these buildings will be lo
cated on Main street, and each, will be
two stories high. Others are contem
plated, and it IS safe to say that even
more buildings than were erected last
year will rise during the present year
Aside from the, business blocks In con
templation many residences are planned.
At the present time several expensive
houses are In course 'of erection. --' - ,
: Scrlnafleld has a live commercial club
to look out for the city's Interests, and
since its organization has been instru
mental in bringing several manufactur
ing institutions to the city, among them
being a factory for the manufacture-!
auto trucks, and a flouring mill. Tbere
are bright prospects for the rebuilding
of the Booth-Kelley sawmill, and plans
are forming to bring still another lum
bering plant, making, three, the Fischer
Bally Lumber company" already operat
ing a, large mill there. ' ,
Among the business blocks erected In
Springfield during the year 1911 were
the following: The Commercial ; State
bank blocfc two" stories high and faced
with white pressed brick; the Perkins
& Stevens" two story block, concrete
construction, with pressed brick front;
At Perkins two Btory block of concrete;
Jesse Seavey's two story concrete block
with 'pressed brick front, and Simon
Klovdahl's concrete garage. Besides the
city boasts of a mile of paVed streets,
gas and water works, electric lights,
trolley cars and all the modern con

Pendleton, Or., Feb. St. After having
slept under the sad for-more-than ;40
years, Moses E. Goodwin, the first set
tler of Pendleton apd the man upon
whose homestead the business part of
tho city stands, has been recognized and
honored, meagre though that recogni
tion and honor is. The railroad station
at tho site of the branch asylum and
at the edge of the city he founded has
been named "Goodwin' upon the sugges
tion of the . local commercial associa
tion. , Heretofore, not a town, stream,
butte or even street has borne the pio
neer's name, There is universal satis
faction that 4ardy steps have been taken
to perpetuate It, i'v'wU.i:.iV" '
.The christening of the asylum station
has brought to light inany facts concern
ing Goodwin and the early history of
this county which few outside the scat
tered: and- thinning ranks of pioneers
have known. Many, in fact, had . not
known that such a man as Goodwin ever
lived In this part of the state, much
less that but for him the county seat
of Umatilla county would .not be lo
cated where Jt is. . -Pioneer'
Woman Tells of Early Says.
Goodwin's widow, at a ripe old age,
is still living in the clty Her present
name is Mrs. Aura M. Raley but she
is familiarly known as "Aunt Raley,"
and Is the most beloved person in the
city of Pendleton. From "the mother
of Pendleton," as she has often been
characterized, facts about the connection

of her first husband with ,thls locality
have become known.' With him in 1853

Conntf ronaeA In 1802.
- In 1862, two years before' Goodwin's
arrival, by an act of the legislature,
the county of Umatilla had been created
and the county seat located temporar
ily on the very tract oh which the asy
lum buildings are rising. A townsite
existed there in those days which at
different times bore the names of Mar
shall's Station, Middleton .and Swift's
Station. Iri 1885, however, Umatilla
Landing had become an important post
due to its trade with the mines and be
came ambitious to gain tht county busi
ness. By a political coup which would
do credit to present day conditions, the
citizens of that thriving town obtained
Li he removal of the county seat but main
tained it only three years.
In 1868, the fortunes of Umatilla
Landing were on the wane. The east
end of the county, however, had be
come populous, and insistent and grow
ing demands were being made for a more
central location of the county seat. This
lead to the act of October IS, 1868.
which removed the county offices to a
point between .the. mouth of J5VildHorse
and the mouth of Butter creek, subject
to ratification by the people at a gen
eral county election. . f
-. Goodwin Offered Tree site.
It was at this juncture that Goodwin
came to the front and offered to donate
as much of his homestead as would be
necessary for county buildings, a school
house and a burial ground. An election
was held November 3. 1868. and bv a
vote of 34 to 845 Umatilla Landing lost
ine-conniy-ornces. Goodwin's-locatlon
was accepted and at Hie suggestion of
Judge G. W. Bailey, the. 'hew town wa
christened Pendleton in honor of Georee
II. Pendleton, then a" leadine states-
man of Ohio. The only buildings
were Goodwin's roadhouse and Bailey's
residence, but Bailey, - not to delay
the t commencement of real business
here, turned , his residence , into a tem
porary court house, while he and Good'
win advanced money for the immediate
erection of a suitable structure.
. Vmatilla landlar Would right.
However, the citizens of Umatilla
Landing were not to give bp their hold
so easily. Through a suit, they compelled
the officer to return with the, records
of their town, Jadge J." O.' Wilson hold
ing that the transfer could not properly
be made until a suitable building had
been provided at the new county seat.
, AH haste " was then made wtlh , tho
first courthouse building in Pendleton
and In two months, ori the site where
now stands the building occupied by
tho Peoples' warehouse, one of the city's
largest mercantile' establishments, a
structure of modest proportions and ap
pearance was completed. Then, not to
be deprived of their rights any longer,
the two local citizens notified the, coun
ty officials to- be in readiness to load
their records Into wagons at a moment's
notice, and, on a quiet' Sunday when
there was no fear of a temporary in
junction, the records were . brought' to j
jreuaieiun. . . . .;
.;, ; long Contest in Court.
. The Umatillans made one more Inef
fectual attempt- to regain their lost
possessions by Instituting a suit asking
that the records be returned on the
ground that the act of the legislature
changing the seat was indefinite in that
it did not' locate the new county seat
at any specific point. The courts,, how,
ever, refused to decree according to their
desires and they were forced to give up
the long battle. v., ; ,; ;
Goodwin gave two and a half acres of
his claim for court house grounds, the
same "area for school grounds and a
similar tract for a cemetery. , .
