It seems unusually fitting that we pay tribute to OUR FALLEN HEROES OF FORMER CONFLICTS Their deeds and examples of patriotism should serve to fire the true fighting spirit in all true Americans. ONEILLAND SI SEN La Grande Pharmacy ARE MATCHED LOCAL WRESTLING FAVORITE WILL MEET THE BIG DANE IN FINISH CONTEST JUNE 19 Jack O'Neill, the local wrestling favorite, will meet Harold Christen sen, the big Pane, in a finish Catch As Catch Can match at the Arcade theatre Juno 19th. The coming match will probably be the last of a series of splendid wrestl ing contests owing to the coming of wrrm weather which usually puts an end to indoor sports. In this contest the wrestling fans and lovers of sport will get positive ly everything in the wrestling reper toire that could be desired for in O'Neill we have the foxiest, most de termined best scienced 175 pound grappler in the West, while Christen- son is a young man of the modern school of wrestling with a splendid record of a long list of successes. His weight and youth will be good assets in coping with the craftiness and cun ning of this old fox at the game. Mr. O'Neill is to be admired for the manly stand he has taken in en tering an arrangement for a straight match in defense of his title for he i? giving away considerable weight to the young man. 0 New is already doing light work in preparation lor the match. Christensen depends largely on road work for getting in condition and takes long hikes daily.

SCHOOL (Continued from Page 1.) 7 Reels 5 Piece Orchestra I) A! Wednesday and Thursday enough to interest boys and girls equally. For the girl it would be a valuable asset in her domestic science work. Hero will be taken up work in applied chemistry such as tho chemistry of foods, textiles, dyes and stains, bleaching, and the exam ination of various articles of every day use. The making of inks, a few medicinal preparations, blue print paper, silvering of mirrors, etc., would prove very interesting if done from the chemical standpoint. This year has also marked a change in elementary science work. Physical geography and physiology, as separate courses have been re placed by a full year's course in gen eral science. This is a logical step toward science instruction. As the name indicates it is general in its scope, and introduces to the first year pupil tho various subjects that he may take up in his later years in high school. Tho idea involved is that the mare advanced work in science should bo worked up to grad ually, the same as in other studies, rather than to have the student enter at once upon a difficult and unfamiliar study. This course could well be re- I quired of entering freshmen. The adoption of a first year course in science throughout the country be speaks for it a leading place in the high school curriculum, NOTE: (Notes on other depart ments will follow.) i CHARACTER There is character in merchandise as there is in the individual The merchan dise that you can sell, looking your customer straight in the eye, and talk from the shoulder The goods you are absolutely sure about We reassure you that our store is full of such summer merchandise and all we ask of you is to visit our busy up-to-date store and be convinced of the remarkable values we daily offer you Men's Blue Serge Suits $9.90, $12.50, $14.75, $18.50, $21.50 Men's Fancy Mixtures $8.90, $9.90, $12.50, $14.75, $16.50, $18.50 Boys' Long Pants Suits .'. $5.90, $6.90, $7.90, $8.90, $9.90 Boys' Knickerbocker Suits .'. -.. $1-98, $2.98, $3.98, $4.98, $5.90 Men's Rain Coats .. $4.98, $5.90, $6.90, $9.90, $12.50 Men's Spring Overcoats ., - :..$12.50, $14.75, $18.50 Ladies' Serge, Jersey and Taffeta Silk Suits ..9.90, $12.50, $14.75, $18.50, $24.75, $26.50 Ladies' Dress, Sport and Silk Coats $4.98, $8.90, $9.90, $12.50, $14.75, $18.50 Ladies' Nobby Dress Skirts $2.98, $3.98, $4.98, $5.90, $6.90, $7.90, $8.90 Ladies we have just received another shipment of beautiful Novelty Voile and Lawn Waists . 98c, $1.49, $1.98 FOLLOW THE CROWDS THERE'S A .

Sun Francisco, Oil., May 29. (United Press) On a case which will be hoard Thursday in tho United States circuit court of appeals here rests the citizenship status of 75,000 Japanese residents of the United States. Takno Ozawa, a Japanese merchant of Honolulu, is making the fight, having appealed his case to the higher court when denied citizenship in tho lower courts. Ozawa is backed by a big battery of American attor neys who based their appeal on the 1'ct of June 22, 1900. They assert that this act, in describing eligibility for naturalization, does not refer to race or color. They assert this act repeals tho previous naturalization statues. Assistant United States District Attorney Jarcd will direct the gov ernment's case. The government de dares that the 1900 act does not re peal the old statute which specified that only free white persons or those of African descent are eligible to naturalization.
