PARK MOVEMENT TAKES
DEflnlTE SHAPE AGAIN
The athletic park movement la
again noticeable, but this time under
a slightly different color.
Money to partially finance the prop
osition, to purchase the site at least,
must be In sight before final and
complete arrangements for the park
will be made. To get promise of
enough money to do this, the citizens
of La Grande will be ask to purchase
shares, or rather to promise to pur
chase, at about $10 per share. Com
mencing with tomorrow, a paper will
be circulated among the business men
and citizens, young and old. In hopes
of securing 11500 at least. If this
sum or more can be raised, and the
feat Bhould be performed in a day,
the whole plan will be launched at
the opportune moment, i
The public schools of the city are
behind it. Prominent Ouitiitewt uieii
of the city who see the absolute ne
cessity of an athletic park in La
Grande, agree that the schools can
promote the project with better re
sults than private Individuals.

who loves baseball, ' track and field
games, football ana other sports,
should get his shoulder to this move
ment and keep pushing until the park
stands completed, a credit to the city.
One man or two men cannot carry
the movement through. Help must
come from the masses, from every
man who o ancacS -.ttsg .
man who can accumulate 110 to buy
one share. With the population In La
Grande, that part of it which Includes
the young men and business men, the
sum necessary to finance the project
should be raised' without extreme ef
fort. It is now up to the Individual
citizen of La Grande, If the city shall
have an athletic park of modern fa
