All communications should b addressed to ' he PRK88 Athena, Oregon ATHENA, MARCH 21, 1905 Not since the days when the flower of county division bloomed in the door yard of the Milton Eagle has that paper found a suitable bone to gnaw on until it took issue with the Eastern Oregon State Normal school at Weston as an in stitution. Forgetful that in these days of modern progress there has been evolu tion in educational work a substitution of the practical and the abolition of the theoretic wherever possible, the giving way of old foggy methods to those of enlightenment and practical experience in the same ratio that has marked the expansion or tne American idea in all other channels of progress, the Eagle man persists in throttling normal schools, and the only reason he can ad vance is "cause 't aint like it use ter be back in the states." lie don't like kindergarten work in the normal; he don't want music there, and the com mercial department looks to him to be a greater graft on the people than the 8500,000 state gift to Portland for the , exposition. Then, horror of horrors! There's the graduating class gleaning practical knowledge in the training de partment with real, live pupils in school work, covering all grades up to and in cluding the eighth. And to think the state pays for this. It's too much for the gympsum weed nerves, mind and body o the Eagle, so it thumps away with its little hammer at a state institu tion located in its home county. Well there may be some solace in the fact that the Milton Eagle and the Portland oregonian are for the same cause, but it is doubtful if the Portland paper is cog nizant of the fact. normals to a vote ot the people under the initiative clause of the constitution, and then it will develop whether they are wanted or not. If the people. vote them dun or not, the matter will at least be settled. Here s a "railroad on paper." With the Northern Pacific surveyors here, what is the reason a line could not bt run from Dave Taylor's warehouse, down below Jim Lieuallen's place, up Spring Hollow, down Thorn Hollow, across the mountains to the Grand Ronde and Wallowa valleys? Events more strange than this have happened. Such a line would look good to us. Think of Pullmans whizzing through Athena on the W. i, C. B. Two trains each way daily, Phil Stumpf a division supt. and reporters perched on water tanks catching snapshots of good old "Joe" McCabe. This is just on paper, you know. Realities hereafter. With an appropriation of $500,000 for the Lewis and Clark fuL, another of 8156 000 for The Dalles-Celilo portage road and 8100,000 for a right ot way for Tlie Dalles Celilo canal, all in the in terest of Portland, it is hardly becoming in the Portland newspapers to complain so bitterly against the appropriation of a small amount of money for normal schools to be expended in other parts of the state, says the Salem Statesman. Tlie normal school appropriation may be rather heavy and may not be popular with a majority of the people of the Btute, but it is not just to dall these ap propriations "grafts," for it is presumed the sums allowed are for legitimate use, at least. The proper way to settle tins matter is to submit the question of the The United States seems destined to become one of the greatest maritime powers in the world. Secretary Mor ton's estimates for the navy for the nscai year ending June au, are 8114,530,638 an increase of $17,372,- 448 over the appropriation for 1905, an increase of $34,713,847 over that of 1904, and the largest ever made in the history of the country. Of the recent estimates, 845,255,833 is set apart for the "increase of the navy," including construction and machinery, armor and armament.
