Last night some hot shots were
fired at a meeting in the Commercial
association rooms by Tom Richard
son of Portland, who criticised the
people Of Pendleton for not being
more active in the work of advertising
the city and attracting immigrants.
Early in the evening it was feared
a meeting could not be held for Mr..
Richardson. However, a band of 20
or 25 representative men were finally
gathered by President Alexander and
others and the meeting was held.
When called upon to speak Mr..
Richardson went after those present
for Pendletons lethargy upon the
subject of town advertising and in the
course Of his remarks said:
I'VE have furnished you with sew
eral hundred letters inquiring about
the conditions i'm your city for the
benefit of eastern settlers. We never
received one reply. We can not rely
upon you people here to entertain
men II we send them here. You give
4 not the least encouragement Port
hnd is boosting for oregon, not for
Portland The people of Portland
have invested one million dollars in
Hood River lands during the past
three years. They have invested
500, 600 within the past three months.
This is because Portland gets the ad-
vantage Of the intensive farming
there.
You people here are selfish. You
are doubling your holdings in your
wheat farms. You are discouraging
growth. It is impossible for a COM
munity to grow under such unfavor-
able conditions. Your town is not
because it isn't advertised.
There is nothing to advertise It. There

Advertising a Necessity.

"The Willamette valley cities are all
advertising. Eugene secured a Cali
fornia man, paying him $4,000 per
year to advertise the city. Within one
year. the deposits in one bank had in
creased 100000 and the institution
doubled its floor space, They have
dinners. They invite visitors. They
instruct the people, even the school
children in regard to the attractions
OF the city. Each letter that goes out
contains a slip for the eastern people
to read We had 800 inquiries re-
gsrding Eugene in one week recently.
We haven't had an inquiry regarding
the resources of Pendleton in six
months We furnish you inquiries
which you refuse to answer. Baker
City is waking up and intends to be
a johbing point. They will be one.
too, simply because they have made
up their minds to It, The dairy pro-
ducts in oregon have jumped from
$1,000, 900 to $17,OOO,00O in five years
Isn't that worth advertising? And
they will be $75,OO0,OOO within 10
years, greater than the timber wealth.
Pcndleton Favorably Located.
your city here is favorably locat-
ed. There is no reason why you
shouldn't be the biggest town in east
ern oregon. The country is rich. but
you must cut up these great ranches.
Encourage intensive farming. The
small farmer is the man that helps
the town." ~
VIII Hold Booster Meeting.
Owing to the fact that but a small |
crowd was out for the Commercial |
association meeting last night It has
been decided to have another meet |
ing in the near future. At that time |
Mr. Richardson will be here again
and will deliver an address upon the
benefits to be derived from publicity
work
Just when the future meeting will
be held has not been decided and ac-
rording to r. Alexander, president of
the association. the matter will rest
entirely with Mr. Richardson

He Earns hIs Money.

1t does not seem to the Standard that
its good friend, the Randolph Herald and
News, IL quite justified in its recurring
criticism regarding the attitude of the
Hon. John w. Redmond OF Newport,
who, as chairman OF the state railroad
commission and clerk of the supreme
court, is receiving compensation for two
jobs. Mr.. Redmond Is conceded to be
one OF the shlest lawyers in Vermont, a
man who, under any circumstances. can
command an income OF s3, 900 or more per
year in the practice OF his profession.
From all reliable information at hand, il
appears that he is dischsrging the duties
Of the two Offices, which be holds, with
ability and fidelity, and surely 1850 per
year Is not an excessive amount for q man
OF his ability to receive. II looks to the
Standard as though the criticism referred
tn is not well advised and is hardly in
line with the usual fair and broad-gauged
editorial utterances of the Herald and
News. Let us join hands and sanction
all reasonable Inducements to keep such
men as J. w. Redmond in Vermont.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL REPORT

Before the report of the commission
appointed to investigate the normal
school system in Vermont, made public
last week, is adopted aud its recommen-
dations carried out, 1t would be well for
the general assembly to consider various
points, some OF which could not we'll be
included in that report. The town Of
Randolph, and indeed this whole section,
has lively interest in the proposition to
abolish outright and as speedily Is pos
sible the Oldest and in many respects the
best of the three normal schools sup
ported by the state, the one at Randolph
notable record that it, deserves at least .
respectful hearing before its breath of life
is cut Oh, with the heavy loss that would
ensue to this community. 1t ought to be
made perfectly clear that, everything CON-
sidered, the states educational interests
would be materially promoted BY such
step. II this can be established, why,
of course the local effect of the change
will have TO bow before 1t.
The investigating commission prac-
tically condemns the present system.
Much of its criticism is well grounded.
It finds that while results are all that
could be expected from the means at hand,
the demands of the present are Tor nor
mai schools Of distinctly higher grade,
and these will cost the state much moro
to maintain than it is now appropriating.
Without question this is correct. Any
marked improvement will demand . far
heavier outlay, whatever the plan adopted.
But besides condemning the schools, the
commission IL hopeless Of securing the
best results if the increased appropria-
tions are made to the present recipients,
and it recommends starting anew and e.
tablishing schools in plants to b built
and owned by the state itself, instead OF
provided free to the state, ~ ct present,
and that the schools ought to be re-locat-
ed 80 a. to be more accessible and to enjoy
better natural facilities. Let NJ discuss
this latter proposition and ses Whist II en-
tails, and then consider whether It 10 I'D
visable for the state to engage In such
IN undertaking, in view of the probable
results in sight. Az the report makes the
concrete recommendation to begin BY
abolishing the Randolph Normal, and e.
tsblishing . school somewhere IN the cen
trail or eastern part Of the state In III
place, let NJ consider that particularly.

The United States district court has
declared unconstitutional the provision
of the Hepburn rate act which forbids in
terstate or foreign transportation OF any
commodity other than timber, produced
or mined by the carrier, except those
articles necessary for the conduct of its
business as a carrier. This law applied
particularly to the coal trade, q large part
of the mines being owned by certain rail-
road corporations, and to pipe lines used
for the transportation OF kerosene oil.
The Vermont rate law, thoagh modelled
along the lines OF the Hepburn act, does
not contain any commodity clause OF this
kind. We have several small railroads in
Vermont that would have been put out of
business by such provision, with no
resultant benefit.

Gates of majority rule see something
