We regard it as highly Improbable
that the Weston Normal will even be
considered ' except as to strengthen
ing the school, when the board of re
gents meets in Salem next Tuesday.
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.

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

Pioneers' association look with favor

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

modest to not Inconvenience those In
attendance, but sufficient to maintain
Its record as sure rnlu-maki-r.
