At the Klm-trlo. ' '
The new pictures at the Electric
theater this week are pleasing all who
sea' them, and the capacity of the
house Is taxed each evening to accom
modate the crowds who attend. The
matinee this afternoon was one of the
best attended this season. Many out
of town people are taking advantage
of the opportunity to see the pictures
and listen to the songs after they have
finished their Saturday and Wednes
day trading. The matinees are be
coming more popular as the public
discovers that the high standard of
the evening entertainment Is main
talned at the afternoon shows. .
The spring weather, never to be de
pended upon, and the early date of
the trl-state track and' field meet at
Walla' Walla. Is working hardship on
the La Grande high school- track
team, and all of eastern Oregon, In
fact. ' '
With regular training impossible. It
Is hard for the squad to get In pink
condition by the first of May. All
try-outs must be held before April
20, when the list of entries' must be in
the hands of the Walla Walla man
agement. Locally there Is much interest In the
coming meet, bur who the fortunate
six will be cannot be determined at
this stage of training. i .--i
Weather Favors Wellington.
Washington teams can. make the
best of the two months' training. The
weather favors early practice, and
while the eastern Oregon teams are
snatching a night or two of each
week to develop themselves, the
Washington teams can secure regular
preparatory work. The results will
no doubt show themselves when the
meet cornea off. , ...

were out last evening to hear W. S.
U'Ren of Oregon City, who talked on

referendum measures, which are up
for action at the coming election.

but teems with explanations on these
subjects which are not very clear In
the average voter's mind. It proved
worth while to hear; him.
Mr. U'Ren will reach La Grande
tonight and address an open, meeting
at the Commercial club. His topic
will be the same as that upon which
he addressed the Elgin ' delegation.
