Young re turned from Condon Tuesday, where he had been supervising the plant ing of 125,000 young trout in Gilliam county streams. Of this number, not all were placed in streams of that county, but about 40,000 were taken to upper Rock creek, not far from Hardman In this county. Mr. Young reports that with the exception of a consignment taken to Fossil, all the fish were put in the streams In fine shape.

The divorce trial, Amy Wisby plaintiff, vs. Oliver Wisby, defen dent, was heard on Thursday of last week, before Ida Niven, the referee, in Canyon City. Besides the plaintif two witnesses were heard in favor of the plaintiff.

Ottis Patter son represented the plaintiff and the State of Oregon was represented by j J. M. Blank. The defendant made no appearance. Canyon City Eagle. While Fords were still more ex pensive than talking machines, John ny Welsh, one of Portland's most prominent crawfish consumers, bought one. By talking hard, Welsh was able to convince an insurance concern that It was insurable to the extent of J400. Two days after Henry Ford put an other premium on the jitney profes sion somebody stole Welsh's car. Af ter an insurance adjuster had looked through all the nooks in the Welsh house to make sure the car was not misplaced, his company paid over the $400. Welsh went out and bought a new Ford and put the rest of the money in the bank. Portland Telegram. Athena, Aug. 7. At a meeting held In the office of B. B. Richards, city recorder, and presided at by May or Homer I. Watts, citizens adopted the following protest against the pro posed bill for a normal school at Pen dleton: "We, the people of Athena, t'ma tilla county, Oergon, In a mass meet ing assembled, do declare it to be our belief and opinion that the Pendleton Normal school bill should be defeat ed. When the voters and taxpayers of the state deem it advisable to re establish a normal school in eastern Oregon, we believe that the state school now in existence at Weston which was never abolished, but mere ly failed of support should be re stored to usefullness. We regard the abandonment of this school by the state senate in 1909 as a highhanded act of political reprisal. "We deplore Pendleton's act in re newing the Normal school agitation at this time as precipitate and ill-advised. We fear that Pendleton's over weening ambition, which is well un derstood in the Athena community, has in this particular Instance warped her judgment. In our opinion Uma tilla county, Itself, will cast a sub stantial majority against the Pendle tin bill, and Its defeat Is practically certain. We fear a fiasco resultant from Pendleton's campaign that will react against the normal school pros pects of this section of the state. "The statement published by the Pendleton committee that the Btate school plant at Weston it 'worthless' and the administration building 'cracked from top to bottom,' is false and misleading. Athena is situated but three miles from Weston and we are familiar with conditions there. We consider the plant as ample tor the requirements of an eastern Ore gon normal school. It is In good con dition for use, and is now In fact be ing used under lease by the Weston school district. Were it true, which it is not, that the principal building is 'cracked from top to bottom,' such unfitness should militate against in vestment by taxpayers of $125,000 In a new school plant at Pendleton. The state built at Weston. The Pendle ton charge of failure implies its in competence. "We know of the good work done by the Weston Normal under serious handicaps and of the professional suc cess of its graduates. If, as the Pen dleton statement claims, this school has cost but $174,000 during an 13 year period, we consider that the money was unusually well spent. Had it been maintained until the present time we feel assured that it would have become a flourishing and suc cessful institution a 'standard nor mal school' in fact. "The district of Weston is large enough to furnish an ample number of grade pupils for a model trak.lng school, wherein the seniors could pur sue the study of methods by observa tion and practice. The assumption that Pendleton will turn over ail of its grammar grades to a Normal school for practice work we regard as amusing. It would be easy for the Weston school seniors to acquire ac tual teaching experience in the rural schools of the neighborhood. In viow of the fact that many, of the grad uates would be required for the rural gchools of this section of the state. such experience would be invaluable, j "As to climatic conditions and at I tractive environment Weston is an admirable location for a Normal school. We are glad to say this la justice to our neighbor, although j Weston and Athena are to a certain ' degree rival towns for the trade of : j adjacent territory. "From the vitwpoint of the tax- paying public outside of its immed-. iate environs, Pendleton's claims would seem absurd. Speaking for themselves, Athena taxpayers object to paying their share toward a $123, 000 school plant at Pendleton, when an adequate plant at Weston Is al ready available. Thay further object to paying an annual tax of one-twenty-fifth of a mill for a Pendle ton school, when one-fortieth of a mill would reopen the Weston school with an annual Income of more than double Us former maintenance. "Whatever the indictment Pendle ton may bring against the Westoc Normal Is also an indictment of the Monmouth Normal." Heppner Merchant Tells Portland About Our Good Country. "We will have the best crop In 25 years" is the way George Thomson, of Thomson Bros, store put it when he was telling the Portlanders about the excellent conditions existing iu Morrow county. Mr. Thomson is at tending Buyers' Week and incident ally doing a little boosting for the old home county on the side.

When the steering gear of his auto mobile became deranged on Tygh grade near Dufur Saturday afternoon, the machine plunged over a 60 foot embankment carrying the driver with it. Arthur Reeve had a narrow escape from death. L. C. Pennell, who was accompanying Mr. Reeve, jumped to safety. The car turned over in its descent. In the fall Mr. Reevei who attributes his escape from more serioins in juries to a convenient crevice between two huge holders Into which his body was dropped, sustained a dislocated shoulder. Mr. A. McClure, of The Dalles, picked up the wounded man and hur ried him to that city, where he caught the O. W. R. & N. westbound limited 4 for home. Hood River Glacier.
