SATURDAY, MARCH 28, 19U. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER rAGE THREE" LADIES WILL COOK FOR , AMATEUR ROAD BUILDERS Good Road Day May Be DelayedSport Conglomeration for Busv Readers. ' La Grande is' in perfect account with the state-wide plan to hold a roads day when every business man who is not a cripple shall get out on the roads with shovel and pick and really do something to improve the roads; on the other hand the early April date suggested is not propituous to the best results in this vicinity. It is probable that La Grande will let the regular day go by, until it warms up a great deal, and hold a good roads day late in April or May first It would not be pleasant for the ladies to prepare camp lunches as is pro posed when the .big day arrives, while the weather is as chilly and uncertain as it will be early in April. Wives of auto owners have already signified their . intentions of making a picnic day of it while the men work on the roads but more balm in the atmosphere is a needed phase of the whole affair. Q Here are some figures that should interest the tax payer and goor roads friend they represent the sum of money spent each year for the past nine years on Union county county roads and bridges: 1905, 111,470.90; 1906 $23,270.83; 1907, $47,442.44; 1908, $25,578.44; 1909, $38,086.89;; 1910 $46,262,12; 1911, $29,746.76; 1912, $51,702.04; 1913, $42,499.56; Grand total, $326, 255.00. - , . During that time, the principal bridges of the valley and up river points have been rebuilt and will be good for many years to come but few bridges now need any material repair. But a whole lot of money has been spent; on roads. With the bridges now well in place it behooves the taxpayers to help the county offi cials hew out some scheme to get permanent roads. There are many ways, but with some figures' as the foregoing to prod the taxpayers on, some county-wide movement to adopt a permanent good roads policy should be the result, and at once too. The 1914 Reach American League Guide the official handbook of the "reat junior major but not inferior league presided over Viv famnns Rnn Johnson has just made its ever-welcome appearance in La Grande thus usnenng in one more base ball season; a function which it has fulfilled each spring for thirty-two consecutive years. The book gives a complete review of the American League's thirteenth eventful season as a major league; complete records and averages of the American League 1913 race and play ers; a graphic story of the American 2?

The auto-owning public is not, as a whole, adverse to enforc- "g me sjceu uuuui huu a uig major ity desire, and do. observe them. Thoughtlessness is often the blame for speeding, and outright cussedness ia at all times the fault; happily this last-named class is in the great minor ity. i j High ' track candidates are not showing much fever yet balmy weather in the day time it is true, but from 4 o'clock on when high school lads can get out it is too chilly for healthy training. Little is known of prospects for the local institution's cinder representation this year, thus far. S 3 Everything is in readiness at the ball grounds for the big preliminary workout Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. There should be at least 30 men out as this team will consist en- tirely of local people and the ob ject will be to play amateur Sunday ball.

"Bill" Allqn was chosen manager of the Wallowa ball team for the com ing season at a meeting held last Sun day on the ball grounds says the Sun of Wallowa. Edwin Marvin, who has been manager for the past two years, could not serve again on account of business reasons, and Allen was elec ted by an unanimous vote.. Much in terest was shown in base ball Sun day, a large squad being out for the first try-out. There is no doubt but that Wallowa will have a strong team ( in the league this year. Lostine has already organized with Will Spence as manager, and Joseph and Enterprise have signified their willingness to enter, the four town league. $ s $" E. RIESLAND, i Plasterer and Contractor.
