PendletOn's Advantages
Pendleton is favored as a normal
school location because Of its geo.
graphical position and other advan-
tages It is the most accessible city
in eastern oregon 22 passenger trains
entering the city each day, giving a
service from five different directions
The city has a healthful, inyigoratins
climate and the death rate is re-
markably low. The city Is supplied
with an abundance Of good. pure wa
ter from the Blue mountains, the sys-
tenn recently constructed at a cost Of
100000 There is a thorough sew
erage system. There are excellent
hotels, boarding and rooming houses
in abundance. At times during the
Roundup celebrations, PendletOn
has cared for 10000 outside people at
one time, giving accommodations to
all Municipal institutions that will
be at the service or normal students
include a first class public library
just finished, at cost Of $4,000,
beautiful public natatorium, costing
$4,000 and the largest athletic stad-
ium in the state, with capacity for
seating 10000 people.
1000 Grade pupils.
Pendleton's public school facilities
comprise the largest high school in
eastern oregon with an enrolment
Of $40 students, three eight room
grade schools with an enrolment o.
1000 pupils. These pupils will assure
an abundance Of pupils for training
school purposes and VIII relieve the
situation at Monmouth were the $50
grade pupils are not sufficient to an
swer the training school needs of the
Monmouth normal
Neglect Has Been Costly.
Eastern Oregon now imports most of
its teachers and salary inducements
must be made to secure such teach
ers. The report Of the state super
intendent of public instruction shows
that the average salary paid female
teachers in eastern oregon is $l0.4l
per month greater tnan the average
salary paid similar teachers in the
willamette valley counties, including
MultnOmah. There are 1892 teach
ers employed in the eastern Oregon
counties and this salary situation
means a burden of $4,000 per an
mum more than the Willamette val
ley counties have to pay for similar
teaching service. The sum is four
times greater than the annual main
tenance desired for the proposed
state normal school at Pendleton. The
failure of the state to provide proper
normal instruction for eastern Ore
gon works for added expense, not for
economy to the taxpayers.
Vote YES" on this measure and
give the school children Of oregon
the same advantages that are en-
ioyed by school children in our neigh
boring states.

At THE BRADLEY
TUESDAY NIGHT

(From The Rapid City Daily Journal)
1t is just impossible to say enough
about the splendid Chautauqua pro-
grams that are being given to the pub
lie every day. Today is to be the best
day, and everybody who possibly can
should attend. The Hall-Wright play
ers put on several playlets very ac-
ceptably. one of which was one in
three acts with Benedict Arnold and
the heroine. This was 4 strong piece
of acting by the masculine member Of
the company. The gentleman also
gave a number of impersonations that
were very comical. In the evening
Rev. F. r. Wedge, the fighting larson,
entertained and elevated his audience
by giving some incidents from con-
corning his life from bootblack to
preacher. Professor Totten, the ma
gician, made friends from first 10 last.
What he cannot do in the line of
magic no one else need to try. There
is just no use to explain for it cannot
| be done. The amount of stuff he can
take out OF gentleman's hat showed
that it is of no use to take trunk
when one is travelling. Just get a
mans hat and the deed is done. Pro
fessor Totten's makeup for men who
have been in the public eye was the
best ever. There was Grant. RoC"e'
welt and many more and they were SO
perfect one could almost believe the
earth had turned back and was bring
ing upon the scene of action again all
those illustrious men.

MONTEREY, March ia fire Of

Only about dozen soldiers were
