THE WESTON LEADER

The Weston Leader was estab-
lished in 1878 and ranks second
only to the East Oregonian as the
Oldest newspaper in Umatilla
county.
The Leader claims indirect credit
for the appropriation made by the
Oregon legislature for a normal
school plant in Weston. 1t claims
that but for its presence, work and
influence this appropriation would
never have been made.
1t claims direct credit for the
actual construction Of the plant.
But for the active and personal
work Of its editor in securing the
donation of q site to the state, it
contends that the appropriation
would have been forfeited.
The Leader claims direct credit
for the return to Weston of the
pioneer reunions after these had
been transferred to another town.
But for the personal guarantee
made by its editor to a nonresident
committee these reunions would
have been permanently lost to Wes-
ton. II claims indirect credit for
the success of each recurring reun.
ion since Weston became the perma-
nent home Of the pioneers associa.
tion.
The Leader claims direct credit
for the return to the Weston com-
munity from the state legislature
of more than $4,000 subscribed by
the community to graduate the
Weston Normal class in 1909, after
the school had been left stranded
by the state in the middle Of its
school year.
It is likely, moreover, that the
Leader is indirectly entitled to
credit for the establishment in Wes-
ton of community business enter
prise of great and positive benefit
TO the town. Had there been no
newspaper here. or had the newspa-
per been lukewarm instead of ac-
tive and loyal in its support, in all
likelihood the enterprise referred
to would have been numbered
among the things that might have
been but are not.

its several normal school campaigns,
besides subscribing in cash much
greater sum than its proportionate
share. It has done other things,
but their enumeration would be
tedious. 1t has always been an ac-
tive force for community progress.
These things are not said in a
boastful or complaining spirit. We
merely wish to point out that all
Leader subscribers who are at all
interested in Weston or Weston's
good are justified in responding
cheerfully to the Leaders request
for advance payment.
In the one item Of the normal
school plant alone the people Of
Weston school district owe the
Leader more than they could repay
in subscriptions in a hundred years.
This is used by the district and has
saved the expense Of new one the
districts own facilities being en-
tirely inadequate. 1t is virtually
Weston property. a deed Of gift
having twice been offered BY the
state.

Despite the grim shadow Of war,
unless 1918 is the most prosperous
year ever known in the nation in
general and in Weston in particular,
the Leader is willing to be relegat-
