Teachers Institute
Largely Attended
Best Ever Held In county-Annuaf
Meet May Be Held At
Pendleton.

The most largely attended and
one of the best local Institutes ever
in the county say the teachers in re-
gard to the meeting of the Wallowa
County Teachers association held in
this city Saturday. The splendid
program was carried out practically
as published and the various papers,
demonstrations and talks were of
great value to all. The music was
an enjoyable feature of both ses-
sions.
Prof. A. H. -Yoder s Joseph was
elected president, and Miss Stella
NJ. Hooper of Joseph reelected Sec
retary and treasurer.
The teachers present were much
in favor of holding the 1910 annual
institute in Pendleton at the time of
the meeting of the Eastern oregon
Division of the State Teachers as
sociation. Umatilla, Union and Bak-
er counties will hold their annual
Institutes in Pendleton at that time
and Wallowa county has been invtt-
ed to- do likewise. 1t would mean
great educational privilege for
the teachers, at but little more ex-
pense than If the institute was held
within the county.
A local institute will be held at
Flora probably in the latter part of
May.

house in the valley The public knows that
we have been all torn up repairing and en-
larging our store Many carpenters and
workmen have been busy for the past ten
weeks getting our building in good repair
so that trouble is about over and we ex-
pect to give more of our attention to our
many customers than we have been able to
in the past. We have quite large stock
on hand that must be sold in order to get
room.for spring stock, so come early
and get our prices and we feel quite sure
that you will be satisfied with our merchan-
disc and also our prices
