reflects the sentiment of Union county
as a whole:
The RoMolutlonr
Whereas, The University of Oregon,
located at Eugene, Is one of the great
est educational Institutions on this
coast, and the pride of our state; and
Whereas, This great school has don
and Is doing a splendid work for the
benefit of the people of the whole
state; and,
Whereas, Union county has fur
nished a larger number of students
to the State university than any other
county In the state except Lane coun
ty, and
Whereas, An aprpoprlation was
made by the last legislature to sup
port the State university, which ap
propriation was held up under the
provisions of the referendum law of
this state, by a few misguided Ignor
amuses in the western part of this'
state, and the same will be submitted
to a vote of the people of this state in
the coming Juno election; therefore
be It
Resolved by the La Grande Com

That we heartily endorse the appro
priation made by the last session of
he legislature, and urge all our peo
)le to vote in favor of the appropria
te at the coming election; be 16 fur

nillate the people of the state In the
eyes of all progressive common
wealths of this nation.
