Salem Rep. Sheldon Pushes Dual Normal Reestablishment

A Salem dispatch reports Representative Sheldon of Jackson County plans to introduce a joint resolution to restore Ashland and an Eastern Oregon Normal School with the latter’s site to be chosen by the board of regents. Pendleton boosters back moving the school to any town in the region, echoing last spring’s effort to block La Grande. The measure proposes one twenty-fifth mill for maintenance and 125,000 for buildings per school, with Weston already offering a suitable, cheaper plant. Voters may doubt approving 125,000 for Pendleton or other Eastern Oregon towns.
