Site Within Easy Reach of Majority of East Oregon's Population. CLIMATE INVITING IN THIS DISTRICT Many Fine Churches and Homes Provide Happy Environment; Training Facilities Excellent. Selection of Ea Grande ns tho sito for tho now Eastern Oregon Normal school was not made until tho Oregon Normal School hoard of regents and the state board of control visited all of this section of the stnto to view conditions first hand, and they made nn extensive investigation in which practically all factors woro entered Into. In practically ovory rospoct, the city of La Grando lopped tho list, and as a result tho handsomo adminis tration building, the first of tho group of normal Hchool buildings, Is being dedicated here today. Geographically, the city is ideal ly locuted In a position between three of the largest centers of popu lation in tho eastern halt of tho mute Umatilla county, Baktr county and Wallowa county. In cluding Union county in this group, one finds 11 population of more than 70,000 people within 80 miles of this city. The population of the re mainder nf tho part of the stato east of the Cascade mountains. In cluding Klamath Falls which usual ly sends Its students to Ashland, is helioved lo ho loss than tho 70,000 In this territory, much of It with in easy reach of the school. Convenient TraiLsiMirtntloii Erom a point of transportation, again Ea Grando is happily situ ated. Tho Union Pacific transcon tinental rullroud, tho only lino run ning through this part of the slate. has division headquarters hero and tho Wallowa county area Is served with a branch line with Ea Gvuiulo as one terminal. Another branch sorvcH Grant county through link er and tlionco to Ea Grande,. Far ther south, a branch stretches In tu the HoiilhetiHtern part ' of' tho state. Students In tho country around Hend, Piinoville, etc., may go north to connect with the O.-W. at 1Ikkh and then cast through Pendleton to Eu Grande. Two state highways, both con stantly kept In first class condition. serve the city the Old Oregon 1 in II which crossos the slate from Ontario to Seaside, and tho Ea Grande-Wallowa Luke highway, which serveH tho north end of Un ion county and all of Wallowa, county. Near Baker, one may hraneh off from tho Old Oregon Trull over well kept roads to the John liny highway, which servos the interior of central Oregon. KtH'iirry Wonderful From a scenic standpoint, the city Is outstanding. Nestling at tho edge of tho beautirul Blue mountains, and with tho lofty, snow-capped Wallowa mountains seen In tho distance to tho east, the city has 11 scenic charm nil its own. Every entrance to tho city follows drives through scenery that was made by Nature at her best, and only 75 miles distant Is the Wa Mown lako country, known as the "Switzerland of America," and rapidly gaining fame as one of tho most beautiful spots In tho entire west a section of tho country noteil fur its wonderful scenery. These mountains and hills near Ea Grande also serve another pur pose, of major Importance, helping to temper the summer nights and In winter serving as n protection against wintry blasts. Ea Grande's temperature Is cooler in tho sum mer and milder In tho winter, ac cording to records kept over a long period of time a,d compared with I nearby cities and towns. Only 1 rarely iloes tho summer tempera I tu 111 go above KM) and the ull-tlmo record is 107. Inning the winter, few days are below Hie zero mark, and because of the dry air, the cold 1m not felt. I The altitude of the city Is 27K3 above sea level and tho atmosphere Is consistently dry. tho avorugo nil ura II amounting to about 2i Inches. The climate Is particularly ; healthful and sickness Is kept nt a minimum, with Iu Grande ranking as one of the leading cities In tho northwest. In ttiis respect. An im portant feature In the safeguarding of public health Is the fact that tho city Is supplied with a combined ura vit y a ml a rl esla n well system I that ranks second to none In tho I northwest, Also, a sewage disposal I plant of the most modern type is an added protection. 1 Population 1 i.onn The population o'i ln Grande is more than 11,000 people. Including t he districts Immediately adjacent ( to t he city limits, which are un usually restricted. The school 011 ,rollmcnt at present Is about 21)00, 'divided into four itraile scIiooIh and a high school, affording iideijurite opportunity for practice, teaching. 1 1 "entral school Is only two blocks I from the Eastern Oregon Normal 1 school campus. i lt Grande is a city of attractive home, beautiful churches and pro gressive Industry.
