The White Speed Wizard and Black Pugilist Will Care. ' New York. Oct. 9ft itaIm p. Oldfleld or Lla manager, Bill Pickens, backs down at the last minute. Jack Johnson), the heavyweight pugilist, will today have the chance he has long, craved to show his skill and nerve in an automobile race' against one of the leaders In the game. The race will be held at the . Sheepshead Bay race track and will be witnessed by a large crowd, Including a, big conting ent of the heavyweight pugilist's col ored admirers. Johnson has been anxious to show his ability as an automobile driver for some time, and ever since the Re no affair, he, has been repeatedly challenging Oldfleld and other dare devil drivers for a race. Oldfleld re fused for a time, looking upon John son's challenges as a press-agent dodge, but recently be was convinced of the olg negro's sincerity and con sented to a match. As a result of his match with John son, the contest board of the Ameri can Automobile Association has in definitely suspended Oldfleld. The lat ter manager, Pickens asserted that he cared nothing for that, as he was tired of paying sanction fees, and inti mated a purpose of forming an outlaw automobile , racing association. A As matters now stand, there appears to be trouble ahead for Oldfleld, whether he wins or loses his race with Johnson. It is alleged, on good authority that if Oldfleld persists in raring with the colored man, he will be permanently disqualified by the American Automobile Association, and any track which permits his appear ance will be declared an outlaw track. Other motorists will in future . be barred from racing on any such track j under penalty of disqualification. . j Jack Johnson, who was refused a license to race by the ecltest board, asserts that he will mainfa'.n his al-j leped rights by an appeal to fas coTirU if necessary.

By order of the Council, October 10th, 1910. D. E. COX, Recorder of the City of La Grande, Oregon. Oct 20 to 26 ATHLETICS warn OF SERIES ity and is starting on -a search for a home, the speaker went over the ground that all are familiar with who have talked to homeseekers. His Idea Is. to expand the work of the club and keep constantly at It. In speaking of "Boosting Towns", which was the subject for H. J. Lucas. the speaker got right , down to busi ness and told the story of prosperity that has marked many of the ad vanced communities where he has re sided. He took , the stand that the Grande Ronde valley has as much or more to offer any homeseeker as any place in the whole nation, but the point In question Is how to approach and reach the people with this infor mation. His Ideas we're good and well put. ' ' ''' v - One of the frankest speeches "of the evening was that delivered by C. W. Wright on "Civic Improvement." He did not use any soft language to de scribe what Union needed but came out straight from the shoulder and urged a few necessitites. While he; .Ui.uiu iteverai large undertakings I he also mentioned manv amnlior tMn which could be done by half a dozen citizens. One might say that his speech boiled down meant that Union should wash her face, take a bath and get a : hair cut, and everyone seemed to agree with him. Pobably the most unique number on the program, and one that was entire ly new to most of the guests, was the speech of O. S. Levy. He had been assigned the Stock Show exhibit. When called upon by the toastmaster Mr. Levy turned to a large phono graph in the corner of the banquet hall and pressed a button. The huge machine began reeling off a speech regarding Grande Ronde live stock. told of the stock show's history and demanded strong and loyal Bupport for the effort next year. The records had been prepared in advance by Mr. Levy delivering the speech into the machine. It made a decided hit with the crowd assembled. A. J. Goodbrod, whom Col. Ivanhoe says would leave , heaven to attend a meeting' of the Union commercial club, spoke on Oregon fruit In ' the eastHe has, recently returned from a trip to Atlantic City, N. J., where he attended the Grand Army encampment and during that visit he spread a lit tle of great Oregon gospel about fruit, climate, pretty babies and other things. His story of 'surprise among Easterners when he pulled a few 20 ounce apples on them was amusing and the old gentleman insisted that larger fruit than that was grown in this country. One point he brought out should have deliberate consider ation. He said the' prune crop was rotting on the ground in the Grande Ronde valley because help could not be obtained to care for it, and he urg ed that some measure be adopted whreby school children could be d'f""ilssed for a few days when a per ishable fruit crop was ripe to hel save the crop. Mrv GoocVrod is a frlnd of education and a lover of children but he can see nothing wrong in saving everything nature has bestowed upon this valley. R. M. Wright handled the subject of "Work for Union" In a way that was commendable, His plea for pa triotism and love of the home city was earnest and sincere and it wet with a response that Indicated his re marks went home to every man In at tendance. , Mr. Cook, the undertaker, insisted in a few well deliverej remarks that many things needed burying around Union, chief of which wa.s the hatchet. He enumerated a few issues and con ditions that should be buried at once and assured his audience that if in trusted to him there would be no embalming done for the sooner the corpse decomposed the better it would be for the city. Universal regret was expressed at the absence of Fred B. Currey, the Hot Lake publicity man, who was de tained at the last moment and was unable to fill his place on the pro gram. Union. like La Grande, is loyal to the "House of Efficiency" at Hot Lake and the banqueters were anx ious to hear something of the publicity work going on there for It aids every part of the valley and Union is aware of W fact t Eorr.-e closing the evening's pro Toastmaster Davis called on K..

William Vogel, president of the club, reviewed its work and told of the campaign that was being planned for the coming year. '. ,;,'.' Those in attendance at this splendid meeting from La Grande were Sr. Biggers, Col. Ivanhoe, I. R. Snook, H. D. Bruce, J. M. Spence and Bruce Dennis. The La Grande' party left for home immediately after the banquet In Dr. Biggers' new Franklin car and only a few minutes were required to cancel the distance between Union and La Grande.

' - President Wilson Reshrns. Princeton, NY J., Oct. 20 President Wood row Wilson of Princeton Uni versity, Democratic candidate for gov ernor of New Jersey today offered his resignation as head of the great educa tional institution to the board of trus tees. Whether the board, which is in session today, will accept the resig nation, is doubtful. They value high ly President Wilson's services, and are reluctant to part with him., It is quite probable that the resignation will be held in abeyance until after Nov. 8 next, so that If Dr. Wilson fails of election .as governor he may re turn to his old post The distinguished educator is now in the midst of a spir ited campaign, and devotes practically his entire time to his political Inter ests, Many names have been suggested as possible successors to Dr. Wilson, In case the latter is elected governor. Prof. "Andrew P. West, dean of the graduate school, is a favorite with many Princeton men. Former Mayor McClellan" of New York. Dean Henry Burchard Fine, President John Fin ley of the College af the City of New Tork and President Harry Garfield of Williams college, son of President Garfield are among pthers prominent ly mentioned. In some quarters the retirement of ladies and children. of Ladies' Neckwear this week IF PLEASED TELL OTHERS, IF HOT .i( President Wilson is looked upon as a solution of the strife of last year re garding his graduate school policies. As governor of New Jersey, however, he would remain ex-offlcio president of the Princeton board of trustees, and would be able to exercise a great deal of Influence over the conduct of the institution. otoxsEr'ai yictoria.
