The article notes Hon. B. M. Pennington, age 84, visiting La Grande, recalling his 1847 move from McComb Tennessee to Oregon. It spans his long Oregon career in Albany and Umatilla, Senate terms, land ownership, and the transformation of the state from wilderness to thriving communities. It adds a brief fire incident at the Pendleton Morning Tribune office rescued by workers.
