"S.'A:zT I it PIONEERS USED TO ENJOY REAL FIST HO RAGES Undoubtedly one of the questions of vital interest to old residents is, "Can ' horse racing come back in Grande Ronde?" . The people at the head of the com mg meet believe it can. It is to be hoped so. "Bud" McAJister said the other day, "Isn't it strange that thirty-five and forty years ago when we hardly had a thousand people in all of Eastern Oregon we had good horse races?" They were good races and they were on the square, too. At the old fair grounds, located about four miles -east from "South La Grande" there was a mile track to 'be absolutely right the horsemen said it was a little over a mile, and they had many good races and they broke records. Who, amonR- the old-timers, does not remember Osceola, the horse which Gebrge Coggan imported from England and a horse that could run so fast that Tie could win a race un der any kind of a handicap when he wim tea to rim 7 Then there was AJex LeBuff's Black Queen, a three-year-old picked up off the range that went from here to iiaker Uty and beat Sleepy Dave in 1:41 flat. It required a combina tion of thoroughbreds, including Winters Richard III' and Trade Dollar, to heat Black Queen at u subsequent race on the track near Union.

And a certain man in Beth-lehem-judnh went to so journ in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. And the name of the man was Eli melech, and the name of his wife was Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathitej of Beth-lehem-judah.- And they came in to the country of Moab, and continued there. And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and she was left and he' two sons. And they took them wives of the v-omcn of Moab; the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they dwelled there about ten years. And Mahlon and Chilion died also Loth of them; and the woman was left of her two sons and her husband. Then she arose with her daughters-in-law, that she might return from the country of Moab; for she had heard in the country of Moao how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread." Wherefore she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with her; and they vent on the way to return to the land of Judah. And Naomi said unto her .two daughters-in-law, Go, each return to her mother's house; the Lord deal kindly with you as ye have dealt with the dead, and with me. And they lifted up their "voice and wept again. And Orpah kissed her mother-in-law; but Ruth claTe unto her. And she said, Behold thy sister-in- law is gone back unto her people, nnd unto her gods; return thou after thy sister-in-law. And Rath said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from follow ing after thee; for whither thou goest I will go; and where thou longest I will lodge; thy people shall be my peo ple and thy God my God. Where thou diest I will die and there will 1 be buried ; the Lord do so to me, and more also iT aught Trat death part thee and me. Sr. C. E. Service at 7:00 o'clock. Sacred Concert, 8 p. m. G. L.
