Lansdale was general superintendent located at The Dalles. A. A. Bancroft became the first resident agent, and that was in 1861. In 1861 James H. Wilbur became superintendent of schools. It is generally said that there was much graft and dishonesty in those first short administrations. To a man like Father Wilbur anything short of complete rectitude was so obnoxious that he had no hesitation in making his sentiments known. The results was that he was fired as superintendent of schools. He went to Washington, laid the whole case before President Lincoln and did it with such effect that he returned with a commission as agent in his pocket."NO KNOWN COPYRIGHT The organization that has made the Item available reasonably believes that the Item is not restricted by copyright or related rights, but a conclusive determination could not be made.
