COMING "CROSS THE ISTH
MTDS OF PANAMA IN 1912"
April 29th and 30th. A great
feature picture i v . ,
along business lines, with the numer
ous and varied resources we have In
the valley, comes -the proposition of
building and maintaining a first class
athletic 'park withi" race course, base
ball grounds, large pavilion with stage
and in fact a general entertainment
pork. The project Is no longer doubt
ful for a large amount of the money
necessary has' been subscribed and a
corporation Is being formed among lo
cal business people to' Insure Its suc
cess. l':'f"::t ", ', , ''r,.--.'. '
; For, a ' time . we have. had. various
kinds of fairs, each of which was all
right in its time but like every novelty
it wore out, and we are now backing
the staple proposition of holding , a
real fair based on a solid foundation
and a guarantee of permanency from
year to year.- - That alone is worth the
price of the grounds to La' Grande and
that alone, when . rightly anchored,
will establish for. La Grande the dis
tinction of being the only city between
Walla Walla and Boise that can main
tain such an event - ;.
Some say' horse racing 1b over' Not
so. There is positivey no contest in
the world tha furnishes the clean
sport that good horse racing 'furnish

the proposed park will come , racing
events of great importance. V , . :
Every American is ,a baseball , fan If
you . once get him to attend a .few
games and thus get htm Interested. La
Grande has already arranged for pro
fessional baseball which means that
the new park will be the ideal place
for it. . And so on down the line of en
tertainment. We could outline varied
attractions which will bring Eastern

first step necessary Is to continue the

Traveling .Passenger Agent Jack

was a lengthy discussion as to wheth

Probably the feature that struck the
railroad official most : forcefully was
the ardent manner In which La Grande
business men advocated the new ser
vice, and' when Mae Wood announced
he was willing to speak for enough
business men who would pledge the
company to make up any deficit the
car might encounter in the first six
months, Mr. O'Nell remarked,' "That

.' A prominent traction ; magnate . ln
New York breathes a word of hope to
the members of his sex, by stating, un
obtrusively I but firmly, that there is
one field In which women will never
supplant men. The position he refers
to is that of street caY conductors. He
says that women'" could .never handle
the 'crowds. There are other reasons,
of' course, which will, appeal ,to the
the" public at once,' one of them be
ing that a woman could never find
her pocket quick enough to make
change, but the reason given by the
P. T. M. is sufficient. ' ?: ' '
: We would say that there are several
lucrative fields in which women will
never supplant men. For instance,
women will never take the places of
stokers on the ocean liners. ' She
couldn't keep her hair in curl down
by the boilers. Then again women
will never supersede the structural
steel workers who hover about the
tops of 25 story buildings and stand
on their heads just to give the crowd
below a treat. Women will never take
the place "of the telephone linemen
who must shin up the poles like squir
rels. It is also safe to' predict that
the fair sex will never take the place
of the present workers In the, gentle
