A new plant, a new product. 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 &
