BILL FOR SCHOOL TO BE Lo.
GATED AT PENDLETON. b

Portland Ore.-The Portland Cham
Der of Commerce, which stands at the
head of the buslnessmens organization
of the state. recently endorsed the
measure proposing Normal School at
Pendleton in resolution, giving the
following reasons:
1--WE believe that Eastern Oregon is
reasonable in its demands that such a
school be located east of the Cascade
mountains, hence we recommend its
location at Pendleton as the most logi-
cal for the following reasons:
First, it is city of some size, hav-
ing an enrolment of over 1000 grade
pupils.
Second, Pendleton is very accessi'
BILE, having over twenty passenger
trains each day from five directions.
Third, its location is as near cen.
trail as could be expected. making it
easy of access at a moderate cost to
the students,
Fourth, II is our understanding
that the citizens of Pendleton propose
to donate very favorable site for the
school,
Fifth. many other advantages are .
A good public library, several
churches, pure water and live. intel.
ligent community that will take pride
in the progress of the school,"
