N MOTORISTS everywhere are MMI complaining. "The grade of lWl gasoline that we are buying
 nowadays for our automo- 'iles," they say, "acts queerly in our ngines. What's the matter7 We're 'aying more for gasoline today than we ever paid before and we are get ling poorer product. How is that?"
 Two bureaus of the government are busy answering these questions and many more like them, and trying to effect remedy. The remedy, however, which is proposed-a federal stand lrdization of gasoline-will not alto- sether uuell the omohilists' com- TiII cu4i,Ihue to have trouble, for u 3 ld-fashioned engine was built to con- 2f today, as well as the gasoline of ne future, is not light oil.

Farmers who are compelled to haul
their grain crop to Thorn Hollow
station, are much concerned over the
impossible condition of the road
leading to the station from the North,
II will be utterly impossible to get
over the old road bed, because 1t has
teen destroyed by the heavy Spring
floods No action has been taken as
vet by the County Court, looking to
the construction of new road to con-
rect with the new bridge to be built
ot Thorn Hollow crossing, and for
whcih funds have been appropriated
" Congress. The consensus of opin-
ion of the ranchers who must trans
port their wheat down Thorn Hollow
Is that the County Court should pro-
ceed at once to build the neyy road to
reasonable distance this side of the
approach to the bridge when II shall
lie constructed. If this were done,
even though the exact location of thu
bridge may not be known. the county
work could stop far enough this side,
20 that when the bridge site Us defi-
nitely located, the county rood could
be extended to connect with It. In
the mean time the rancl,ers could
travel temporary road " ON the tenn
iC!ary terminus of tho county road

The Hermiston Herald pins another
title on Editor Wood of Weston 1t
calls him the father Of the Eastern
Oregon State Normal School that
was) Well, Wood can wear the title
with credit, for he merits the dis
tinction. Back in the days when the
log-rolling lobbyists destroyed the
Normal school system Of the State, he
fought to a finish losing fight. He
fought then as he is fighting now--to
establish and perpetuate Normal
school system on a millage basis, re-
moved absolutely from the tolls of the
politician with the re-opening of the
Weston and Ashland plants in whicN
the taxpayers Of the state already
have thousands of dollars invested, so
that the three important geographical
sections of the State may be convent
emily and economically served. Clark
Wood always has, and does now, take
the logical and sensible view of the
Normal school question. He sees only
selfish folly in asking the taxpayers of
the State of Oregon, to further bur-
den themselves with a new $125,000
plant at Pendleton, when they already
have invested $4,000 at Weston, and
as much more at Ashland for the
same purpose, He righteously draws
the line at the cobwebs decorating the
fine empty buildings Of the two plants
at Weston and Ashland, and the gild-
ed dome of proposed new plant at
Pendleton. And the line he draws is
exceedingly plain when you consider
that all the normal training of the
State is done in the one school at
Monmouth, where it was dumped
some years ago on the pretense of
economy, but at the expense of dis
two other schools, either Of

Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken internally

giving the patient strength by building

An Earl's Cuel With a Butler.

About the middle of the last century
the Lord Rosebcry Of that time was in
Paris, and in paying II call one day he
was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend Of the
servants conduct. But the butler had
been noncommissioned officer in the
French army, ana as such he chal
lenged Lord Roscbcry TO duel. The
earl accepted, and two shots were ex
changed without result. But Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con-
descension and afraid his antagonist
right lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as servant thus
exposing an earl to the reproach OF
having fought with Il butler. So he
settled an annuity of $3.50 on the man
on condition that he did not return
to domestic service. The condition was
faithfully observed on both sides.

Melted Ten Goals in Nine

Tommy Walsh, of Putnam, leads the
Allied League first division in goals
scored. The inside left of the league
leaders has located the net 10 times in
nine games. The veteran Beech, of Falls
4 second, with nine goals in as many
rames, and three players, Kirk, OF St
Nathaniel; A. Doherty, Of Vscose, and
n. McDermott, formerly OF Norrstown
MT now with Woodland, in the United
League, are tied for third place, with
eight goals each. Flynn, of Cardington,
with six goals Weldon, of Puritan, with
Ave. and w. Graham. of the Wander
ers. with four, are others who have
nroyed reliable scorers.
owing to the fact that Peabody and
Norrlstown have disbanded and with
drawn from the Allied League, It Is
rather difficult to obtain the correct
standing, since two points must be given
each of the remaining clubs for every
game scheduled with both Norristown
and Peabody. William Brearly, secre-
tarv of the Allied Association. has COM
pIled the standing of the first division
teams. which contain few changes over
the standing published early in the week.
