above is urged in PendeIton's favor,
and that much is left unsaid which
has an important bearing upon the
question at issue. We deem it only
proper to supply the omissions. f"
Then follows brief comparison of
the moral and sanitary conditions of
the two towns. Proceeding the state
ment reads:
"We have known of no expression
of discomfort from the people of East
ern Oregon as to the present location
of the Weston Normal and we believe
that the legislature would be without
warrant III moving the institution.
We have knowledge of no 'effort" on
the part of Baker City or La Grande TO
secure the school, no bills have been
introduced in their behalf, and we be-
lieve that Pendleton's solicitude to-
ward securing the school herself in or
der to prevent it from leaving Una
tilla county is without adequate
foundation-especlally as Umatilla is
among the richest and most populous
agricultural districts. 1t is among
The agricultural class that normal stu
dents who desire to become teachers
are chiefly recruited.
Finally we ask you to consider the
terms of the act of the legislature
passed in 1898, providing for the nor
NAL school at Weston. The initial
section of this act reads as follows
page 1191, Section 3490, Bellinger
g. Cotton's Code.
"tSaid normal school is hereby Gre
ated and established upon the terms
and conditions hereinafter mentioned
and provided in this act. The school
is hereby permanently located a
Weston, Oregon. H."
'fIt was the manifest Intention Of
| this act that the school should be per
manently located at Weston and tC
relocate it now fol no good aud suffi
cient reason would be breach o.
faith on the part of thelscommon
wealth, as we'll as rendering useless
valuable school plant. Such actor
would never be justifiable unless au
thorized by the will of the people ex
pressed at the polls under the initia
tive and referendum campaign againt
the general appropriation bill. lt'
endorsement by majority of l7,l6C
votes would certainly indicate that
the people are not dissatisfied with the
present location of the different nor
NAL schools. Every Eastern Oregon
county gave a large majority for thu
appropriation bill, which affords con
vincing evidence that Eastern Oregon
is content with the present location o.
its single state institution.

Weston Citizens Sign Stale
ment to Legislature,
ARGUE AGAINST RELOCATION
Comparison as Made Between Weston
and Pendleton Leaves Much In
Favor of Former.

The Miller bill, proposing the re-
location of the Eastern Oregon State
Normal school at Pendleton has
brought forth an accurate statement
to the Legislature, signed by
Weston citizens, in mass meeting.
The statement alleges much in favor
of Weston, the present home of the
school, over Pendleton, and in part is
as follows:
sThe Eastern Oregon State Normal
School was established in 1885 and is
the second oldest normal in the state,
ranking next to the Monmouth school.
Until the present session of the legis-
lature there has been no question of
relocating the school and it has re-
ceived support at each successive ses-
sion since receiving its first appropria
tion in 1898. 1t has now larger at
tendance and is in more fiourishing
condition than at any period OF Its
history, and promises to grow into a
splendid institution if left undisturb-
ed. We would therefore ask why re-
location should be considered as adj
visable at this late day.
''The schools plant is worth $780,
900 at a conservative valuation, OF
which amount property to the value
of $4,000 has been at different times
contributed by the community of
Weston. which has never failed in
loyalty to the school. Should the
plant be abandoned it would be abso-
lutely worthless to the states for any
other purpose, and the state itself
would be guilty of gross breach OF
faith with the community of Weston.

tied agricultural district and is easily
accessible from all parts of Eastern

daily pass this point, which is onl,

HATS TAKEN OFF IN CHURCH
Walla Walla Parson Introduces New
Rule for Women.

Rev. James Reid of the First Pres
hyterian church of Walla Walla
sprung a surprise on the women in his
congregation Sunday night, and for a
time it looked as though the situation
might be such as to call for stern
action by the pastor, or the abandon
ment of new rule, which he desired
to enforce.
After the concert by the Sunday
school orchestra and the offering, the
pastor announced that before proceed
ing with his discourse all women
would be given an opportunity to re-
move their hats. A look of surprise
came over the faces of those wearing
hats, and while some commenced to

PLANTS ENRICH THE soil.
Species Of Glover Turns. Barren ls'
land Into Rich Pasture.

Species Of Glover Turns Barren Is
land Into Rich Pasture.
It was not a power plant, but plant
power, that has made an island OF the
sea off Australia one Of the most val
liable grazing districts. 1t Is King Is
land. Many years ago a Dutch ship
was wrecked off the island coast, and
some Of the sailors mattresses were
washed ashore. These were stuffed
with what Is known as melilot grass,
which, however, is really not grass,
but yellow fowered clover known
botanically as Melilotus oficinalis.
The plants thus washed ashore con-
tained a fair amount Of seed, and In
the course Of years these seeds took
root and threw up tufts which grad
ually spread on the beach and inland.
And now the result Is that the fer
tilizing power Of this little plant has
transformed King island from a region
of useless sand dunes into one Of the
best grazing districts Of the Austral-
ian commonwealth.
This wonderful grass, sown on raw
white beach sand, in the course Of five
years has changed the character Of the
sand until at the end of that time 1t
has become q dark brown color, In
some places almost black. Every year
1t is improving the value Of the land.
AS Is we'll known, the capacity Of clo-
yer and other leguminous plants to
enrich the soil is due to the presence
of bacteria, which enable the plants
to take nitrogen directly from the at
mosphere. -..~ ~

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, March 30.-Sighing for
trousers and a derby hat, Miss Marie
Hunt, "a years old and comey, came
to the Harrison street police station
and asked Lieutenant Ryan for permis-
sion to satisfy her sartorial desires. She
declared that motives of economy per-
sonal convenience and business STRAIT
egy had caused her to make this un-
usual request.
The lieutenant was more than sur
prised-he was completely "habber-
gasted"; and the lady's unblushing
calm as she discussed the advantages
of mems Cttire for women did not re-
lieve the situation any. His air Of au-
thority faded away and he was COM
PEELED to refer her to Chief Collins or
Mayor Dunno as being better fitted to
cope with the problem than himself.
II am an agent and collector for a
book concern" Miss Hunt explained,
"and l have TO hustle around the town
more than the average man. My skirts

furtive customer to his ultimate doom,
or chase the bad debt from Kensington
to Edgewater. They also bother me

lady one has to wear two, if not more
skirts, and is consequently hampered
from the knees down with several
pounds of unanchored dress goods? No?
It's no joke climbing the stairs of fiat
buildings with your skirts in one hand
and a sample copy of the Fireside
Compendium of Handy Facts-three
volumes for $1-in the other"
The lieutenant's eyes became CLASSY.
"Then, female clothing costs much
more than male, and / really can't af-
ford to dress like q society woman on
my commissions. The suit 1 am wear
ing cost $50. Now man can buy a
good enough business suit for $25 or
even less. AS for hats, every one
knows what milliners bills means, but
men can get a derby which will last
six months for $3.50
The lieutenant, reeling, groped about
the room.
Anyhow, lieutneant, I believe that l
would look much better in trousers ana
derby hat than in a tailor-made
suit and this awful hat 1 am wearing;
don't you? If you give me permission
to wear mems clothes you Will be con
tributing your mite toward making the

Hills and Eagle are both listed and
have climbed above par value already

it down by aid Of a hoist which is or
