Mail Tribune 100: July 24, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jul. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Jul. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News July 24, 1916 A PENDLETON GRAB Concealed behind the veiled pretense of validating the state university at Eugene and the Oregon Agricultural college at Corvallis, Pendleton has initiated a bill upon the November ballot for the establishment of a $125,000 state normal school for eastern Oregon at Pendleton. If Medford initiated a bill to establish the southern Oregon state normal school at Medford the action would be similar to that initiated by Pendleton. For many years the eastern Oregon state normal school was conducted at Weston, just as the southern Oregon normal school was conducted at Ashland. In both towns the state still retains a considerable investment in land and buildings. If the normal schools are to be re-established, it is to the taxpayers' interests that they be re-established at their former sites. Just treatment of the towns that furnished subsidies and assisted in the maintenance of the normals demands it. The attempted Pendleton grab is an abuse of the initiative, for only two years ago the people voted against re-opening the normals. It is an injustice to the neighboring town of Weston — but Pendleton having successfully stolen a quarter million dollar state asylum from Baker, has no scruples about robbing Weston of the normal. LOCAL AND PERSONAL J. W. Lawton and F. E. Mendynski left Sunday in the latter's car for the Klamath country. Mr. Lawton will visit his son D. F. Lawton at Fort Klamath and Mr. Mendynski will stay at Pelican Bay. Both will be gone for a week. The young people's societies of the different churches of the city will give a social at the First Methodist church Wednesday evening at 7:30. A business meeting will be held when the organization of a City Young People's union will be discussed, after which a social time will be had. All young people are urged to attend. Ninety Medford people boarded the P. & E. excursion train for Butte Falls Sunday morning. The day was spent in examining the fish hatchery and picnicking, returning from Butte Falls at 5 o'clock.
