Lawrence Named Receiver for Roseburg Land Office
J M Lawrence editor of the Bend Bulletin has been appointed Receiver of the Roseburg land office by the President, despite Senator Fulton’s protest. Lawrence, a Bend resident for about two and a half years, previously served as U S Commissioner there and led Bend Bulletin in promoting Central Oregon. His appointment, welcomed by many here, will require him to leave his local work as roads in Willow Creek basin are rough and Madras enjoys favorable climate compared with Eastern Oregon towns.
