Lo cal merchants already report a grow ing and satisfactory trade, and a gen eral air of confidence and satisfaction is observed in the community. These few remarks are not intended, how ever, as an invitation to mining stock salesmen. Let them peddlo their stocks where they have the rocks, and well buy clothes, pianos,' baby bug gies, new stoves, carpets and automo biles UNION SCHOOLS There has been considerable dis cussion in Weston as to the possible union of several contiguous school districts with the Weston district It is thought that such an arrangement would undoubtedly work out to the advantage of all concerned, since it trould give to Weston a larger school affording better educational facilities for town and country alike. By put ting motor carryalls in service, the transportation phase would be easily solved. , 1 '-' , ' - The following editorial along this line in a recent issue of the Oregon Journal is of local interest: . - "The national conference for better rural schools has proposed to make 160 days the standard school year. This amounts to eight months of 20 days each, little enough. It keeps the child in school for more than a third of the calendar year theoretically. Practically it gives, him 960 hours of instruction in the 12 months. Since the total number of hours in the year . is about 8760 the association would kecD him in school ahnnt nn a. ninth of his time. This does not look excessive, but it is a good deal more schooling than : most country children get. Efficien cy in rural education requires the a- bandonment of the old, isolated, ill kept achoolhouse and the construction - of union buildings. No school center should serve less than 12 square miles of territory while some might useful ly serve a good deal more. With the school wagon, which is coming into use, pupils can go a long distance. The cooperative, or union, district can Roger Babscn, the great financial afford to employ the best teaching writer, and Thomas A. Edison, the ability in the land. In unon there is great inventor, are both for Wilson strength, for the school as well as for which just about offsets a gross of many other good tilings." politicians. GREAT HARVEST YEAR Weather indications this week bid fair that the mountain crops will be put in the sack without loss or delay, and that the uplands will join the low lauds in rejoicing over the grandest harvest in point of profit that the Weston country ever experienced. Good times are in prospect for the fall and winter in this locality the best times, perhaps, in its history. The harvest has been abundant, the prices extraordinary, and the effect will be seen in a thriving town and a smiling populace. When the farmer is prosperous all are prosperous in an agricultural community. Weston in ' Weakly Bulldogger Roy Raley has particular depends for its welfare up- j charge of the making of the Happy As Umspine has lately hopped into the limelight with its county and school fair, and is an ambitious and growing burg, it may want a slogan.

A Farm laoaes SHOWING THEIR COLORS The publicity committee for the "brewers' amendment" is using a pampniei or main statistics in an attempt to prove that prohibition is a failure. It thus comes out in the ooen in an attack on prohibition. Hereto fore we had supposed its' purpose to be support of a not inconsistent prop osition that where liquors are used there they may as well be manufac tured also. They will never get any. where opposing prohibition as a pol icy, no matter what may happen to Maine. Observant people hereabouts know that prohibition is not a failure, but a blessing, in Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington towns. Its only defect is that it should be national in scopo. Whenever the manufacture and sale of intoxicants is forbidden by j federal law, and the partnership be tween government and the liquor men dissolved, the United State will have taken a great step forward. Canyon program and ia always on th alert for new features. Wednesday night he went to the Alta Theatre to give Niobe the once over to see if she might have any stunts worth putting on at the Round-Up evening show. On Thursday night he attended the libra ry board meeting and we are making a shrewd guess that he is trying to get the two factions to stage their next battle at Happy Canyon. The esteemed Pendleton Tribune promulgates the following profound pronouncement: V "There is no criticism of the pre paredness appropriations. They are proper and necessary. The schedules remaining alter the elimination of those items are greasy with 'pork.'" We wonder if any grease is notice able around the new federal building at Pendleton. .hat suits htm. wni n ne ruis been operating near Weston will be taken over by the ow. ner, his father.
