The new Eastern Oregon Normal School is dedicated today for the most important task to be undertaken in the Fp,stern Oregon country providing higher education for the young men and young women of this section and turning out teachers who are trained in their art. No industry in the state is more signifi- . cant to the development and welfare of Oregon. Its location here brings the opportunity of education within reach of hundreds of young citi zens who might otherwise be denied it. We extend our congratulations and predict an immediate popularity and rapid growth for this institu tion. Eastern Oregon Light & Power Company
