(HUB -Off
Tho Union county track meet has
been definitely called for for various
reasons. The chief obstacle to this
heretofore annual athletic event In
this county Is the fact that no rare
tracks aro located sufficiently near to
either Union or La Grande to gunrnn
tee expense money. The gate en
trance fee and livery hire as a rule
throws the spectators' expense to such
a figure that few care to expend the
money.
To linker Friday.
Next Friday the La Grande track
team leaves for Baker City, where
the annual eastern Oregon' track and
field meet will be held. Many of the
rooters and followers are planning to
leave on Kuturduy morning.
La Grande's chances to land a, close
second place or perhaps first place
In this meet are excellent. In the try
outs at Walla Walla. La Grande en
tries showed up favorably with other
teoms of eastern Oregon, excepting
Pendleton. There Is litigation now In'
progress as to the eligibility of Jv. the
star Pendletonlan. The declamation
contest will be held on Friday night.

' The first high school graduation in
two years will occur In La Grande on
the evening of Tuesday. May 28, when
six students will be graduated from
the La Grande high school, the first
class to finish under the four-year

At a meeting of the school board
last evening final arrangements for
the graduation were gone through and
the usual date was decided upon for
obvious reasons, one being that the
track team will leave for Corvallis on
Wednesday evening, and as members
of the graduating class are also mem
bers or the team, the Tuesday evening
was selected to avoid a conflict.
There are six graduates this year,
three boys and three girls. These
have the distinction of being the first
graduates of the school to complete

time to continue as seniors for an
