The East oregonian venomously at
tacks Mayor Watts of Athena for TAX
ing part in the mass meeting there at
which the PendIeton Normal scheme
was strongly condemned. In this the
mayor was merely pursuing course
that would be expected of him as a
public official, Athena sentiment being
practically a unit against Pendleton's
sinister designs. Mr.. Watts, however,
needs no defense at our hands. as he is
an outstanding man accustomed to fight
ing his own battles. We win merely
say that he would never, as PendIetOn
has done, betray friend.

reliable source that Pendleton Normal
propagandists have been spreading
falsehoods there to the effect that Wes-

be washed away, together with its
normal school buildings. at any time.
This sIander indicates the desperate
straits to which Pendleton is reduced
for vote-getting buncombe. and would
be amusing but for the fact that people
win be found to believe it. Pendleton
was compelled to build an expensive
Ieyee to guard against foods. while
Weston never has been and never will

demonstrating to the public that HE

Gold butter people objected to him

would not sell him as long as he
charged 35c He appealed to the dis
trict attorneys office and forced them
to sell him. AS result his patrons
get the benefit of his close selling.
Hurrah for the Welton fruit man. We
only wish we had more like him. By

in turn spend and divide our money
among four at our office, who spend
it with the churches and colored busi-
ness places. But when you spend 1t
with others who care nothing for your
