AT-
Oregon Guard Escorted Selective
.Draft Men and Participants
r In Lengthy Pageant.
Estimated by minutes required foi
the procession to pass a given point
of observation, the prrade yesterday
evening was fully a mile in length.
Flags adorned all the c'ars in the
parade, with few exceptions, and all
the marchers carried small flags. The
disbandment of the parade, nearly
an hour after its start, took place at j
the Y. M. C A., where it fust formed
.hto line.
Preceding the parade, at about .7
o'clock, the selected men, both from
La Grande and Wallowa county, were
entertained at a banquet in the Hotel
Foley dining room, where all had a
most, delightful time one-to bo re
membered amidst other and far away
scenes.
Prof. J. David Haines' band fur
nished the music for both the parade
and the dances, as well as rendering
mnny selections during the evening.
Much is due for the success of the
entire day and evening to the thought
fuljeare and efficiency of Chairman
C. !D. Emahiser, who was everywhere
at once. .
' One of the pleasing things about
the parade was the splendid way in
which the selectivcs carried them
selves "and the way their lender, Lynn
Bohnenknmp, . handled them. He
formed them in column of fours ami
marched them in that way, Instilling
a snap to their step and a soldierly
bearing in all of them that was a
iharked distinction over the average
group of solcctives to leave here. The
feature is another bit of evidence that

which coFt 000,000, were recent
ly Junked because they were too
dangerous for use; that several av
