turn. The occupants were thrown
from the wagon and the horses piled
up in the ditch. The wagon was
badly mutilated and one horse was
injured.

HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor
Ituys Flour Mill.
0. G. Trester was here this week
and reports the completion of a deal
in which he will take over the Pra
irie City flour mill. The purchase is
made from Dr. V. C. Belknap and R.
C. Reeee. This is one of the olde3t
flour mills in Eastern Oregon. Sev
eral years ago it was burned and then
new, modern and up-to-date machin
ery was installed so that it is a first
class mill today. Mr. Trester has
had much experience with milling and
nothing but a first class product will
be put on the market. There will be
some few changes made and probably
by September the fall run will start.
He expects to use wheat from all over
the county. Caynon City Eagle.

More Fish Planted In Morrow
County Streams
Game Warden, Robert H. 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. However, at Fbssil, a mis
take was made in supplying the (lull
cans with air from a garage tank, and
s a result about half of the fish taken
there did not survive.

Testimony Taken.
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. The charge was cruel
and inhuman treatment on the part
of the defendant towards the plain
tiff, the same commencing soon after
the marriage of the parties and con
tinuing till some time last year when
the parties separated. 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."
