standing development In Its estab
lishment as the center of Eastern
' Oregon. The selection of La arande
was not made until the Oregon Nor
mal school board of regent and the
state board of pontrol had visited
all of this section of the state. Rec
ognizing the urgent need for In
creased, normal training facilities in
Oregon, particularly In that vast re
gion lying each of the Cascade moun
tains which was without any insti
tution of higher learning, legislation
was enacted by the legislature of
1925, being later approved by the
people which made possible the
establishment of the Eastern Oregon

hero, and the local teams have mado
good showings In their trips to other
cities.
The twenty-nine acre campus of
the Normal schol Is Ideally, situated
on the brow of the hill overlooking
che city of La Grande, and thero is
ample room for all possible future
developments of the Institution, such
as new buildings, athletic fields, and
tennis courts. Much progress has
been made during the past year In
beautifying the campus, and In a
few years it will undoubtedly be one
rf the beauty spots of the valley.
Plans are now completed, for a new
training school building which will
greatly Increase the classroom facili

splendid views of La Grando and surrounding mountains frrom its windows. The campus has been improved and beautified considerably since this photograph was taken, and
Normal Hill will soon be recognized as a genuine beauty spot. Other buildings are to be constructed from time to time to meet the needs of the growth which the institution is
already experiencing.

Sawmills Hit By
Increased State
Insurance Rate
OLENDALE Lumbermen all over
tho state of Oregon have been noti
fied by the state industrial accident
commission at Salem, that effective
July 1, 1932, all employers contribu
tions to the industrial accident fund
will bo based on a new schedule of
rates. Tho rates affecting the lum
ber Industry show marked increases,
The commission states that the
Increase in rates is necessitated
at this time because of lessened in
come and depreciated reserves. With
prices of lumber back to the levels
of 25 years ago and the market de
mand only a fraction of normal out
put, most lumbermen consider the
new rates as excessive Tho extra
burden of Increased rates on an al
ready demoralized industry will make
it Just that much more difficult for
employers to meet their payrolls and
tend to cause more shut downs and
result in more unemployment, op
erators claim.
Under the new rates sawmill op
erators will pay to tho state $4.00
for each($100 of payroll, instead of
$2.B5, the present rate. In 1027 they
paid $2.69.; Planing miy employe
come under the same rato as saw
mill workers If the planing mill Is
conducted by a sawmill company,
otherwise the planing mill rate is
$3.85. '
An Increase of $2.25 per $100
payroll 1s made on loggers. The
present logging rate of $5.50 is be
ing raised to $7.75. Tills rate In
1927 was $3.50. Tho rate on log
ging railroad-, is' being raised from
$5.00 to $6.00 while track workers
rate fill be $4.00 instead of $3.00.
New construction work, such as build
ing sawmills, 'docks, etc., using car
penters and millwrights, will cost
employers $5.00 per $100 instead of
$3.75 as heretofore.
The lowly woodsaw operator Is be
ing asked to contribute 12 per
cent of bis payroll to tho state un
der tbo new schedule instead of the
present 7', per cent rate. The rate
on farm labor has been increased
from $2.50 to $3.25.
Rates on "white collar" Jobs re
main at 1-10 of 1 per cent. Em
ployers of teachers, librarians, bank
clerks .editors, telephone operators
and similar workers contribute 10
cents to tho state for each $100 paid
In salaries or wages. -1
The highest rate in'the new sched
ule Is 25 per cent and applies to such""
Jobs as sweeping chimneys, manu
facturing fireworks and working for
roundups or rodeos.
