Charles M. Kellogg, Mayor of Baker City

The present mayor of Baker City, Charles M. Kellogg, is eminently qualified to
occupy the highest office within the gift of her citizens. His capable
directio nof municipal affairs has clearly proven his executive ability, and
it is evident to all he is the right man in the right place. As an executive
officer he is conservative in ideas, truly progressive in character, every
movement which he believes after thorough investigation to be for the public
good meets with his hearty approval and cordial support. As a public official
he is always affable, gentlemanly and approachable. Mr. Kellogg is a native of
Indiana being born on a farm in 1838. He went to California in '56, and
remained there until 1864. Moving then to Idaho, he remained there for six
years. In 1871 he was appointed local agent for the express Company a position
he fills today. He has lately secured the contract for carrying the mails on
about three hundred miles of stage lines, a business he has had years of
experience in the past. In 1869 he married Miss Mollie E. Yantis, of Oregon,
and they have six children, four boys and two girls.
