There will probably always be two Normals in the state, divided as it Is by the Cascade tn&iintains. As long; as we have these schools at all, Weston Is the logical location in eastern Ore gon. , Durins the past year, there were more students enrolled at Weston, and there will continue to be, until such time as the western . Oregon schools kro consolidated.' We venture the assertion that the board of regents will not even consider the abolish mcnt of the Weston school. , Advertlin(t Rates.

'. 4 A daughter of a prominent pioneer family who a In attendance at the -meeting of the pioneers, doubtless ex pressed feelings held by all of the on and daughter of the pioneer of thia county, and that Is while she en joys these meeting- and nominally her name appear upon the records of the association, which entitle her ' to wear a badge, yet she doe not feel just right or thst she Is really entitled to such honors. She takes the position that she is not a pioneer In the true sense cf the word. The fact that she was born here and grew Into woman hood here, was through no choice on her ;n.-t. Therefore the pioneer spirit ' that thillled the breasts of the true pioneer never coursed through her eins. 8he suggested that an auxil iary organization to be composed of the rens and daughters of pioneers be T-frtt-ftrd, and meet Jointly ' with the pioneers and that the two organi sations work hand In hand, and a the old pioneers drop out, their memories and deeds may thus be perpetuated. The Observer believe the sugges tion Is well taken and that at the neit Tloneer reeling, providing the Pioneers' association look with favor on the Idea, it con'd r-o arnngci The columns of The Oh"vrr n v--to any and all who might holn be'??! this about, or show why It shot-Id not be. THE KM The Fourth of July celebration com mittee met last night, and aside from contracting for the balloon ascension pent the time mainly in going over the plan that have matured, and dis cussing the arrangement that have already been made,; Just now, there are some features of the celebration that are' not fully arranged for, but the work will be finished by next Tuesday morning, and then the pro gram In full will be given to the pub lic. The parade will be the most elab orate ever seen In eastern Oregon, and only unpropltlou weather can pre vent a brilliantly successful celebra tlon In every particular. Fifteen year ago our people de plored the fact that we hd no park or shade which every city requires for public occasions. We today are no Bearer, the solution of the problem than we were 16 years ago, and there are no Indications that we will be during the next 1$ years. This wnste of time border almost upon criminal neglect. Pioneer Pay can always be depend ed upon to bring a rnln. Thi few shower yesterday were sufficiently modest to not Inconvenience those In attendance, but sufficient to maintain Its record as sure rnlu-maki-r. 1- ..." Imbler being In the center of the Valley and cany nf orcr from all points, there undoubtedly v. Ill be an unusually lorge attendance on Pioneer Pay next year. ) 1UUF.ILETS. Baker City will have a "platoon" of mounted police July 4th. Better than that, they will have a baby parade. Walla Walla brewers are ni-CDar- mg to furnish us and other dry towns, with near-beer. The Dalles Cherry fair begins next Tuesday. They have cherries, but' not our kind "the latest on the market and tho best la the world" with ecol ogies to Stacklund Bros. Elgin stores will close on the Fourth. The Walla Walla Bulletin wants th- blg lead of La Crunde cut down ho that the contest for the pennant will be more exciting. Why not contest for second place? .The fans here rather like things a they erf. We would not object to .900 In the percentage column. If that will do you any good. A Dover, Delaware, firm.
