COMING CARNIVAL AND
NORMAL SCHOOL STATUS
DISCUSSED AT FORUM

The status Of the normal school sit
uation in oregon and the coming Mer-
chants and Manufacturers carnival to
be held at Happy Canyon May 1921
constituted the subjects Of discussion
at the Forum luncheon by the Com
mercial Association at the French res
tanrant today.
That the establishment Of a normal
school in Eastern Oregon some day is
inevitable was declared by ]. II. Gwinn
who urged Pendleton to keep in line
on the subject and to offer proper ac-
commodations for tie teachers who
will be here this summer for the sum
mer normal course.
Mr.. Gwinn based his argument on
the fact that reginal schools are i'm.
perative for the training of teachers
He said the records show the attend
ance at normal school is chiefly from
nearby territory and that Eastern ore
gOn students will not attend a normal
school In Western Oregon. Some day
the people are going to wake up to the
situation and a normal school will be
established in Eastern Oregon" said
the speaker. I'VE believe the school
will be located at Pendleton and we
will then derive benefit from the seed
We planted several years ago when we
initiated a measure which was voted
upon by the people Of the state

COAL OIL THOUGHT
TO Be RESPONSIBLE
FOR COSTLY BLAZE
Riverside Home of Bill Pedro
Burned This Morning With
Loss of $4,000; Insurance.

One of the costliest fires in the
vicinity of Pendleton for many weeks
occurred this morning when the beau
tiful home of Bill Pedro in Riverside
burned to the ground The house was
one of the most beautiful homes in the
district near Pendleton, and the loss
is placed at $4,000, with $4,000 in
surance.
Starting a fire with coal oil is. the
probable cause of the fire. Chief W, E.
Ringold thinks. The chief, accom-
panied by Firemen Jack Childs and
Harold SpoOner took the Studehaker
truck and went to the fire, but use of
the city apparatus was impossible be-
cause the residence was located too far
outside of the city limits.
a bucket brigade was formed and
the city firemen assisted by Ed Mabie
and Ed Morgan and others fought a
winning battle in an effort to save two
adjoining buildings.
The exact cause of the big fire
probably will never be known, but Mr.
Pedro started a fire early this morn
ing. He had cut big supply of kindl-
ing yesterday for use of the family
while he was gone on a fishing trip
which he expected to take today
Chief Ringold thinks it probable that
the coal oil used to start the fire in
the furnace was probably spilled on
the kindling in a small quantity and
back-fire from the furnace. The fire
men were called by Ed Morgan about
BIS.
1T certainly doesn't pay to use coal
oil to start fires was a comment
made by Chief Ringold. Paper, shay
mGs. or anything OF that nature is all
right, but coal oil is bad"

City Attorney Harold Warner found
that stiff punishments are proN led

sentences of from three to so days are
some of the dire punishments that

So far the street commissioner has
confined his efforts to telling people
what they should do. but within a
short time the dead line will he drawn,
and then there is going to be rush
to get rid of weeds in order to evade
fines Another provision of the city
ordinance makes it possible for the
city to cut the weeds and file a lien
