Here is a striking picture of the administration building of the Eastern Oregon Normal school, taken from the K ave nuo entrance to the campus. The building faces south and
is situated on a small hill overlooking La Grande und the beautiful Grande Hondo valley. Tho steps to the campus at the west entrance are shown In the lorcground, leading
onto a wide mall which stretches to the eastern boundary of the normal school grounds. The two-story structure is of reinforced concrete, covered with buff stucco and
roofed with variegated terra cotta tile. The large auditorium is on tho second floor in the central part of the stmc ture. The president's offices are to the right of the en
trance and the library is located in the west wing on the first floor. Class rooms, cloak and retiring rooms, etc., are on both floors and the basement, in adition to housing the
heating plant, will be used for corrective gymnasium and laboratories. This is the first unit of a group of buildings w hich, when eventually completed, will follow the crest of
the hill with the mall separating the administration building from the library, training school, dormitories, gymnasium, and other buildings.

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.

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

an added protection.
