JULY 14 1918 The Hermlston Herald pins another title on Editor Wood of Weston. It Calls him the father of the Eastern Oregon State Normal School (that was.) Well, Wood can wear the title with credit, for he merits the dis tinction. Back in the days when the log-rolling lobbyists destroyed the Normal school system of the State, he fought to a finish a losing fight. He fought then as he is fighting now to establish and perpetuate a Normal school system on a millage basis, re moved absolutely from the toils of the Politician with the re-openlng of the Weston and Ashland plants in whl' the taxpayers ,of. the siuie . already have thousands of dollars invested, so that the three important geographical sections of the State may be convent ' ently and economically served. Clark Wood always has, and does now, take the logical and sensible view of the Normal school question. He sees only selfish folly In asking the taxpayers of the State of Oregon, to further bur den themselves with a new $125,000 plant at Pendleton, when they already have Invested $76,000 at Weston, and as much more at Ashland for the same purpose. He righteously draws the line at the cobwebs deooratlng the fine empty buildings of the two plants at Weston and Ashland, and the gild ed dome of a proposed new plant at Pendleton. And the line he draws is fxccedlngly plain, when you consider that all the normal training of the Plate Is done In the one school at Monmouth, where It was dumped some years ago on the pretense of economy, but at the expense of dis mantling two other schools, either of which was larger than the Monmouth Institution. the rigors of the past winter had the same effect on both. Figure on the problem at your leisure. Ashland Is the latest city to pull off a wild west exhibition. Missoula has had one also, but there Is only one Roundup, and they all go lo see it. And this year will be no exception. The gojf season must have claimed our own Jonathan tfourne. He has rot told as how tH Government should W runt twt several months.

Bathers at Eastern Oregon resorts are reminded that two bathers have Lvi'it &nled by sharks on the New Jer sey coast. Farmers who are compelled to haul their grain crop to Thorn Hollow station, are much concerned over the impassable condition of the road leading to the atation from the North, It will be utterly Impossible to get over the old road bed, becuuse It has teen destroyed by the heavy Spring floods. No action has been taken as ft by the County Court, looking to Hie construction of a new road to con Vect with the new bridge to be built nt Thorn Hollow crossing, and Cor whclh funds have been appropriated l y Congress. The consensus of opin ion of the ranchers who must trans port their wheat down Thorn Hollow Is that the County Court should pro ceed at once to build the nef road to n reasonable distance this Hide, of the approach to the brldise when It'shall te constructed. If this were done, even though the exact locution of thti bridge may not be known, the county vurk could slop fur enough this side, fo that when the bridge site Is defi nitely located, the county roal could be extended to connect with It. In the mean time the t-nnciera could travel a temporary roafl fr om the tem-l-i ary terminus of the county road, and cross the river oreyr a temporary bridge as in the past.

Next time the Kernel comes to Athena, I propose to have have a real sampling works in full running order, for his especial convenience, Oet muh, Kernel? There are two poetical prophets In the Peterson family, Bill and Sam. Sam'a a gop disciple and Bill follows the trail the donkey makes.

The game was dished up in matinee form with KC trlmmlns. At times the applause was vociferous niid on occasions double vociferous. But the encores were different, entirely. Nobody on either team received uny of the choice ones,- except Urhulcll "ilrliiny" was there at third station to receive 'em by the oucketfull. An.l. believe me, he took -em all. There's a fellow Kn Suit Luke City who Is receiving more Athena corie Hpumlance thnn any other feller I know of; his reply always comes by express. Athena's ball team met the Kan sas City Bed Socks on the home grounds, Monday atiernoon, and gave the traveling aggregation of basebal'. stars a rattling good game. The travelers proved to oe the fastest team seen on Athena's diamond since the days of the Tellow Kids, Myers of Helix, opened for Athena In the box and held the visitors to six hits and six runs in eight innings. Then Shick went in and stopped the scoring, allowing, allowing but one hit in the two innings he worked. Kansas City scored one in the sec ond. Two more came over in the third after two were down, on a base on balls, hit by pitcher, a stolen base and a long single. Two runs were made In the fifth and one in the slth. Carmine scored for Athena in the seventh when he was hit by pitcher, stole second and came home when Crawford, at second let Grindell's grounder go through him. Suple and Shick scored in a ninth inning rany. Suple drew a pass and Shicg sent him to third with a base hit. Carmine blnged out a single, Supple scoring and Shlck going to third from where he scored on Grindell's fly sacrifice to Wetzel.

The earl accepted, unci two shots were c changed without result.

Federal Inquiry or Faced by demands from tbe conductors, engineers, firemen and brakemen that would impose on the country an additional burden in transportation costs of $100,000,000 a year, the railroads propose that this wage problem be settled by reference to an impartial Federal tribunal. - With these employes, whose efficient service is acknowledged, the railroads have no differences that could not be considered fairly and decided justly by such a public body. Railroads Urge Public Inquiry and Arbitration The formal proposal of the railroads to the employes for the settlement of the controversy is as follows: "Our conference, hare demon.tr.ttd that cannot h.rmoni.. our difference, ol opinion " tht 1 rrentuallj .the muter, in contror.y mu.t be p..d upoa by other and di.intere.ted agence.. Therefore, we propo , that your propel, and the proportion of the r.ilwsy. be di.po.ed of by on. or the other of the following method.. 1, Preferably by ubmi.ion to the Interetate Commerce Commi..ion the only tribunal which, by re., on of it. accumulated information besring on railway condition, and it. control of the revenue of the railway., 1. in a pou "ion to con.idr and protect the right, and equitic. of all the intere,t. affected, and to ororide add.t.on.l revenue neciuary to meet the dded cost of operation in case your proposal, are found by the Commi..ion to be just and rtMonable; or, in the event the Interstate Commerce CommiMion cannot, under existing law., act in the premise., th.t we jointly requeit Congro. to take such action as m.y be necessary to enable the Commisiion to consider and promptly dispose of the question, involved; or I. By arbitration in accordance with the provisions of the Federal law" (Tht Newland. Act). Leaders Refuse Offer and Take Strike Vote Leaders of the train service brotherhoods, at the joint conference held in New York, June 1-15, refused the offer of the railroads to submit the issue to arbitration or Federal review, and the employes are now voting on the question whethei authority shall be given these leaders to declare a nation-wide strike. The Interstate Commerce Commission is proposed by the railroads as the public body to which this issue ought to be referred for these reasons: ploye. a. wage.; and the money to pay increased wage, can come from no other source thsn the rate, paid by the public. No other body with such an intimate knowledge of railroad condition, ha. such an unquestioned posi tion in the public confidence. The rate, the railroad, may charge the public for transportation are now largely fixed by this Govern ment board. Out of every dollar received by the rsilrosd. from tha public nearly one-half i. paid directly to the cm- The Internal. Commerce Commisiion, with it. con trol over rate., i. in a position to make a complete investigation and render such decuion a. would pro tect the interests of the railroad employes, theownera of the railroad., and ihe public. A Question For the Public to Decide The railroads feel that they have no right to grant a wage preferment o! $100,000,000 a year to these employes, now highly paid and constituting only one-fifth of all the employes, without a clear mandate from a public tribunal .that shall determine the merits of the case after a review of all the facts. The single issue before the lountry is whether this controversy is to be settled by an impartial Government inquiry or by industrial warfare.
