John W. .Kelly, political writer for
the new Eastern Oregon Normal
School, may be hampered because the
county gave Pierce a majority over
Patterson for governor. He calls at
tention to the fact that the governor
is a member of the board of control,
and as such, will have much to do
selecting the sites for the new school.
For one, this newspaper is not Kel
ly i zed in alarm ever any influence
the gubernatorial vote cast in this
county may have in selection of the
site. We believe Governor-elect Pat
terson to be in harmony with fairness
aiul liberal desire to light shy of sec
tiwnalizing the state on a vcte-getting
basis. . Milton-Fieewater offers isupr
'"lative inducements for the location
( the new Eastern Oregon State
Normal school. If ideal surround
ings, near-perfect climatic conditions,
an undying spirit of moral uplift, and
distinctive home influences cannot
win over political sector bias, then
Milton-Freewater is defeated before
entering competition for the school's
location. Hut the Profs recognizes no
political reward to be mado by the
new governor in selection of the sito
for the school.

Recently the editor of the Pub
lisher's Auxiliary bemoaned the fact
that good fish, snake and other ani
mal stories have become scarce. Per
haps there are no new ones, but w
ran across one this week modestly
credited to "Exchange," which ought
to qualify for the eld scrap book,
whether it is new or not. A kind
hearted farmer up in North Dakota
found a rattlesnake- caught in a trap
and compassionately released the rep
tile and went his way. The snake
followed his liberator heme and ex
hibited such friendliness that the
farmer kept it as a pet. When the
weather got cold, the rattler was: al
lowed to sleep in the kitchen. One
night, hearing a commotion down
stairs, the farmer rushed down to
find the snake tightly coiled aoout
the neck of a burglar who hati enter
ed the house. The snake's tad was
stuck out the window, frantically rat
tling for the police.
fied by the Press editor, who monthly
is called on by a couple of boy
friends, who submit their report
cards for inspection. More often
than not, 100 appears opposite "spell
ing" and they go out of the office
each with a quarter in his jeans.
Ideal weather for the past two
weeks has been enjoyed by Athena
and vicinity. Heavy frosts at night
with warm sunshine during the day
has made life worth living. Migration
to the south for the winter is cer
tainly superfluous thus far as larks
are heard every morning and one
farmer has seen several rattlesnakes
basking in the sun this week. Old
Boreas may be around the corner
but California has nothing m us as
to climate.

The town of Umatilla is putting
forth effort to secure the location of
the new Eastern Oregon Tuberculosis
hospital. Umatilla's principal asset
is more days of sunshine per year
than has California.
