Baker, Ore, Dec. 2S.-Determined
efforts will be made by the business
interests of Baker to have the deci-
sion of Acting Governor Bowerman's
asylum set aside and the location de-
cided strictly upon its merits. Busi-
ness men here allege Bowerman has
not given them a square deal and will
demand that Governor Benson take
up the matter and see that a fair de-
cision is given. If they fail in this
the courts will be resorted to and an
effort will be made 10 nave an in
junction issued against locating the
asylum at Pendleton.
People here have no grudge against
Pendleton, but believe that Bower
man used power in selecting the site
to further his own interests and have
evidence pointing in this connection.
A delegation of Baker business men
visited Salem some days ago to make
final appeal to the state board in
favor of Baker. The reports they saw
on file there of soil experts who visit
ed all the sites and secured data upon
which to make reports were in favor
of Baker, and the engineers reports
made recommendations in favor of
this city 1t is said Governor Bower
man ordered the engineers and soil
men to withdraw the reports and
eliminate everything favorable to Ba-
ker. The reports now on file are not
the same as the ones viewed by Ba-
ker men a few days ago.
The Baker Commercial club has the
matter in hand and a definite plan of
action is expected to be outlined
Thursday. Attorneys for the club now
in Portland will arrive home tonight
A meeting will be held tomorrow and
an appeal made to Governor Benson
and if he fails to take action the courts
will be resorted to.
The deal is said to be the rankest
that has ever been made in this part
of the state. At a banquet given in
his honor here Bowerman said he
would select a site strictly upon the
merits of the localities.
Another raw part of the deal is the
appointment of j. d. Plamondon OF
Athena as superintendent of the asy-
lum. 1t is said that c. \. Barrett
promised his vote to Bowerman as
leader of the senate in exchange for
this favor, as Plamondon is a relative
of Barrett

La Grande Is Philosophical.

1--WE suppose the proper thing to
say right now is that an insane asy-
lum is an undesirable thing to have
in a county; that it repels rather than
attracts settlers in this vicinity; that
it discourages the young who get jobs
as attendants, etc, etc.
Yes, we might say all those things
at this time of defeat, but we are not
going to do it. 1t is enough to know
that the little city of Union made a
most gallant fight for what she be-
lieved she was entitled to and lost.
Her methods were fair, honest Rnd
upright, because Tom Wright, w. J..
Townley and a half hundred more
Union citizens have done their fight
ing that way for two score years and
it is the only way they know. They
put forth every merit Union possess
ed, and we want to say they had a gall
axy Of facts which seemed to us i'm
possible to overcome. These men did
not enter the contest making 1t a life
or death proposition, but they put up
city, even in defeat.
"And to be a good loser Is better
than to be a winner, for as N. K.
West used to remark, Anybody can
win occasionally Union is a good
loser. There are no sore spots on her.
She feels that she made good in ev-
erything asked of her by the board,
and with that she is willing TO dismiss
the matter and take up something Of
more importance."-La Grande OBJ

c. N. RICE MAY
GO TO PORTLAND
OFFERED GOOD POSITION
WITH PROMINENT BANK
Cashier Of First National Not Fully
Decided as to Action Notwithstand-
ing Report Published In Portland
Paper Yesterday.

&c. NJ. Rice, who has been cashier
of the First National bank Of Pendle-
ton the past six years, has been ap-
pointed cashier Of the Lumbermen's
National bank of Portland and will
take charge of his new office soon af-
ter the first OF the New Year.
"Mr. Rice has just returned from
Portland, where he spent several days
looking over the situation before fl
nally accepting the position with the
Portland institution.
Mr.. Rice learned the banking busi-
ness under the tutelage of Levi An
keny, of Walla Walla. His first posi-
ton of trust was at Waitspurg, Wash,
where he served as cashier of the
Waitsburg National bank for six and
one-half years, during which time the
deposits increased from $4,000 to
$4,000. He was then transferred
to Mr.. Ankeny's bank at Dayton,
Wash. During his service there the
deposits increased from 100000 to
$600,000.
When C. b. Wade, cashier of the
First National bank of Pendleton mis-
appropriated large sums in 1905, re-
sulting in almost wrecking the instl-
tuition, Mr.. Ankeny transferred Mr..
Rice from Dayton to PendIeton. The
deposits in the Pendleton bank had
dwindled from nearly s1,000.000 to
s469,000 when Mr.. Rice took charge
of the institution. Under his direc-
tion the bank rapidly recovered from
the effect of Wades peculations and
it now carries deposits aggregating
$1,500,000.

ager-elect of football at Oregon and

Report Not Authorized.
The foregoing dispatch appeared in
the columns OF the Portland Oregonian
yesterday morning under a PendIe-
ton date line but it is probable that
1t was written in that city as It was
not authorized here.
1t has been common property for
the past two months that Mr.. Rice
had been offered the position Of CASH
Ter of the Lumberman's National bank
and II has been known that he has
been strongly considering the prop.
osition, but he has persistenlty re-
fused to confirm or deny any and all
reports, stating that the matter had
not been decided definitely.
In spite of the announcement IN
the Portland paper, when seen today
-"i' iiCe sui maintained his nom
commital attitude stating that the
change of positions was not such a
well established fact as to warrant a
public announcement to that effect.
He admitted that he was considering
such proposition and considering II
seriously but would not say that the
matter ives decided beyond all possi-
bility of doubt
Many of his friends believe he will
accept the preferred position, and,
while they regret very much to see
such constructive citizen leave PEN
dleton, they recognize the tribute
which is paid him by the selection.
Still others of his friends refuse to
place credence in the announcement,
pointing out that his interests are all
with the Pendleton bank and Nat at
the last minute he will decide to re-
main here.
While 1t is very probable that Mr..
Rice has made up his mind to accept
the position. from his reluctance to
make any statement for publication
1t Is also probable that his decision is
not beyond recall.

Without a dissenting voice and

license to Henry Kopittke for the

pany. This latter was, however,

The granting of these licenses fol-
lowed the recommendation Of City At

the applications and bonds were reg

visions Of the ordinance. However,
he reported further that none of the
buildings in which are now located
near beer saloons fulfilled the re-
quirements that no more than one
sixth of the frontage be of Opaque
substance. Some discussion follow
ed which showed plainly that it was
not the intention of the council to de-
mand the entire remodelling of the
fronts, and the city attorney was fl
nally instructed to prepare an amend
ment which would secure a good open
front and at the same time be fair
to the licensees. This amendment

COST OF EDUCATING A CHILD

Very Reasonable as Compared with
Other Luxuries
In an address before the State
Teachers association at Atlantic City
on Tuesday, DR.. James M. Green,
Principal Of the State Normal School
at Trenton said in an address -
The average cost per child, accord
ing to elementary or high school
grade, has been variously estimated
from $35 to S45 per year. If the aver
age was $40 per year, that would mean
that, for twenty cents per day, the
parent may have his child taught by
an educated and trained teacher, in a
building well lighted, heated and ven
Itilated, supplied with books and APP
paratus, medically inspected, and often
provided with Fairgrounds. Compare
this, for moment, with the cost of
education under the tutor, or pre-
system, days, and it will be conceded
that no greater economic achievement
has been recorded in the history Of the
state.
The expense of education must al
ways be large. Practically the whole
time of azchild, from the age of Il We, is
spent in school. Whether or not we
can stand the present cost must be de-
termined by our wealth, as indicated
by our ratables, the relatives amount
of our school taxes and by what we
are voluntarily expanding for luxuries
and otherwise.
"A few approximate figures may
serve somewhat as an index. Our
ratables for general taxation are about
two billion dollars. Our state school
tax in addition TO the main stem tax
of 1905, is limited to two and three
quarters malls per dollar, about
one-twelfth of our local tax. II our
expenses were burdensome our volun-
tary expenditures and Injuries should
first give evidence. We have volun-
uary investment of S60,OO0,0OO in
church property. We are annually
giving Increasingly large sums for the
maintenance of our churches. and also
for private schools and libraries. 1t
is estimated that we spent last year
for tobacco S5,O0000O for alcoholic
liquors s25,000,0OO, and for automo-
biles S60O0,0o0 II we could estimate
our expenditures for other Injuries, it
would scarcely seem that we are feel
ing poor in any such sense as would
require the curtailing of our educa-
ton. ("
