Athena's interest in the re-establish-ment
of a Normal school in Eastern
Oregon is diteotlv aud inetooably
compatible with that ol Weston.
A sense of convenience, and substan
tial ednualiopi 1 results obtained when
tbe Weatou Normal was in operation,
to say uofbiug of loyalty to commun
ity cause, preolndns esponsal of Pen

Por Jjug baiis lo seonie the sohool we

would te given Pendleton in prefer

Weeton'a cause at a disadvantage
whicb in fcll probability cannot be
overooinsi It transpires that the. No
vember election is an opportune time
for launching the issue of a Normal
school for Eastern Oregon. At that
time the validation of locations of tbe
Agricultural College at Goivallis, tbe
University at Eugene and tbe Normal
sobool at Monmouth is to be voted on.
Undoubtedly Pendleton "has seen tbe
light," and beaten Weston to it.
The brewers of the State are seek
ing tbe light to manofaetnre aud Bull
heer within the state aud petitions are
being circulated lo get the proposition
befcre tbe voters at I he November
eleution. , The preamble nf tbe peti
tion reads: "We, tho undersigned,
feel that there is a lack ot logio, even
from a prohibition pilot of view, in
allowing beer and iutoitoatlng liquors
to te brunght into the Btate, yet for
bid tbe manufacture of beer iu the
state." Evidently, tho prohiUtiouiets
are of the same opinion, tar they are
petting tbeir armor ou and are prepar
ing to offer this amendment to tbe
prohibition laws "Section BOA. No
intoxicating liquors shall be Imported
Into lls state for beverage purposes."
In event this amendmout cariieB, it
will remove tbe alleged doieols In the
present law, Booming from the com
promise bill as passed in the legisla
ture, after prohibition carried In the
stale by 80,000 majority.
