BLUE MOUNTAIN CREAMERY CO! f ,,;.,.,...., ,....,.. MO RACE Oi MO SHOW DAY A five-mile Automobile race is to be a feature of the auto how day Which haa been, postponed IJrom next Satur day to the Saturday following, accord ing to plans now under consideration by the automobile committee of the La Oraade Entertainment and Market Day association. " This committee, consisting- of A. V. Andrews, Ray W. Logan and O. M. Rli-iey, is bow securing; a list of own ers ef "choa-ehoo" cars who are wlll lnc; to corns" ot La Qramda frwa out side points with their autos for that day. There are 40 autos tn the valley, and the committee hopes to have prac tically alt of th mhere for the parade tlcally all of them here for the parade The race Is to Te over country roads. According to present plans, the course will follow thr old Island City road. publication lately Issued by the state dealing with legislative measures to come up' for vote under the Initiative and referendum at the June election. In fact, the argument against the bill is not conspicuous for Its logic. The grange, in the beginning, says it is not opposed to the National Guard and, passing through Island City, will and then goes on to say that It has come home on the new road through May Park, finishing -where the start was made, on Adams avenue some where. This course is fully five miles, and the roads are to be touched up. a little by that time, thus allowing for fast driving. This feature will no doubt be an Interesting one. In the short time given them the committee was unable to arrange the auto show for next Saturday, and have postponed it to admit of more careful preparation. ' The Armory Appropriation. . "Manifestly unfair; abusive, but not logical or a statement of real facts." That Is the estimate placed by prominent National Guardsmen on the argument against the armory bill as advanced by the Oregon grange In the been chiefly useful in riots and labor troubles, and that the construction of armorrles would constitute a species of grat. , The writer of the" argument must neevr have known that the National Guard fought the Spanish-American war, the Oregon Guardsmen, as vol unteers in the Philippines, bringing unending glory to this state, and that the National Guard Is now the only military force upon which the United States could depend in case of inva sion or other emergency. There is only a handful of the regular army; It requires a year to train volunteers, so the guard 110,000 strong consti tutes the military mainstay of the country. As to the hints at graft, and there Is nothing more than slender, un- fnnnded hints, no departing u. , ,,., rnment has been so free from that kind as has been theHj ..-.i-i !.r,i under the auWllnJ gon ittu"" istration of Adjutant General W. E. Flnxer, who has practiced the moat rigid economy possible. It Is hinted by the Grange that' should the appropriation be allowed for armories, other communities which succeed in the future In becoming the stations of new companies would be asking for armories. That would bo nothing out of the way. Certainly the people of say, Klamath Falls, Grants-. Pass, La Grande or other possible sta tions would not be grafters If they asked the state to provide an armory for a military company which waei giving its services gratis and which stood ready to respond to the call to arms at a minute's notice.
