WESTON NEWS NOTES.
Eastern Oregon State Normal With,
out a President, But School Opens
September 8.
Weston. Aug. 29. Tho Eastern Or
egon State Normal school is again
without a president. James K. Anient,
of the Alva. Oklahoma, normal, was
elected to this place and had agreed
to come for the coming term, hut he
has now sent word to the regonta
mat no cannot come as he has been
prevailed upon to remain whore ho is
This loft the regents In somewhat of
a hole, as they were depending upon
Professor Ameut until a few days
ago. Now thnt he has decided not to
take the position, tho regents have to
look elsewhero for a man to fill the
vacancy. The board will meet next
Monday to select a man. Several ap
plications aro Jn for tho placo.
The 1902-3 term will open at tho
normal on tho 8th of Soptember with
very bright prospects for tho future
The school's commodious new build
ing will remedy the lack of suitable
accommodations which has handi
capped the faculty and patrons in tho
past. It is expected that tho school
will open with a larger attendance
than over before. Many inquiries
have been received from young peo
ple in different parts of tho country
who are thinking of coming hero to
receive an education. With the ex
ception of tho president, the faculty
Is complete and are educators with
years of experience.
Stubble vs. Summer Fallow.
Farmers almost universally agree
that summer fallow this season is
turning off a poorer yield than stub
ble. Chester Avery got 25 bushels
per acre off of stubble that was put
in with a cutter. Monroe Childors
got 23 bushels from stubble, while
Reuben Taylor's summer fallow, said
to be about the best In tho vicinity,
only went 20 bushels. College men
began to preach years ago that sum
mer fallow was not good for tho land
and it will probably turn out that
they were right. Corvallls Times.
An Invitation.
Tlinsn wlshlnir tn whllo awnv the
long evenings aro extended a cordial
invitation to call at the music ware
rooms of S. L. Wakefield & Co., Court

EXCITEMENT AT HEPPNER
NEWLY OPENED COAL
FIELDS ARE GENUINE.
Railroad Company Sends In Expert,
and People Generally Are Elated
Over the Prospect Ahead.
Word has Just reached Pendleton
to .tho effoct that constdurabl excite
ment prevails in Hcppner over the
newly-opened coal fields of tho Wil
low Creek section, 25 miles from that
placo.
An expert has been on tho ground
for moro than a month in tho Interest
of tho Morrow County Coal Company,
and now tho O. It. & N, Compnny's
export, accompanied by an assistant
is there looking over tho ground and
taking notes of ovory Indication of
coal, Since tho new diamond drill
which has been In operation for sev
eral months by tho company dovol
oping tho coal resources, thoro hB
boon gradually an excitement grow
ing among tho people in the commu
nity and as' tho drill has gone down ,
to a depth of 700 feet and still is tn j
coal which is moro than 71 per cent I
carbon, It is realized that tho ,coal
excitement is not a fako.
Now that tho railroad company has
Interested itself and has sont out its
chief mineral export It Is conceded
thnt there is more In tho roport of
a coal And than at llrst dreamed of.
Not only has tho railroad company
been looking over tho ground, but It
has mndo proposals to buy tho field
at a fabulous sum. Tho company's
Inspector mado such a favorablo ro
port that ho has caused tho company
to want tho field and want It badly
Whother or not tho deal will bo mado
Is not-known, but U Is though that
the field may pass into thjo hands of
tho O. It & N. Company at any time.
