The dosiiiR of the Grande Rondo
. Chautauqua, which has been held at

gram of any day uluring the past
week. The largest crowd on record
this year at Chautauqua was present.
The La Grande Municipal Band,
the pride cf all Eastern Oregon, di
rected by Andrew Loney, Jr., was
featured and it is no prevarication
to state that the program they ren-
. dered was by far. the best music on
the week s circuit. Last night s chau

band, the Union County Chamber cf
Commerce quartette, composed of O.
L. Dutton, Sherwood Williams, Elmer
Stoddard and G. S. Birnie, and Stuart

the success of the program. La

the northwest.
Pioneer Wedding Staged.
During the intermission in the mu
sical program a pioneer wedding, or
rather a pioneer pageant, was pre
sented to the audience- About fifty
people participated in the wedding,
which was carried out in a realistic
old-fashioned manner. Some of the
wedding guests -rede 1 to 'the" affair,
using an old time side-saddle, and
were attired in pioneer garb, as were
all of the participants. Those who
rode were Mr. and Mrs. Terry, Mrs.
. William .Grandy and Mrs. Herbert
Pattison. They alighted at the door
and then went to the wedding.
The wedding party rode in the
Concord stage coach, pulled by six'
bay horses and driven by Joe Woods.
The tige ccach, which will carry
Presid' nt Hnrding from the Meach
am depot, to the pageant grounds at
thOld Oregon Trail pageant July
- 8, was lighted with a spot light. '
The bride marched up tne aisle
to the altar and was met by the
groom and the best man. Earl Rey
nolds officiated as minister, using
the Episcopalian service. Howard
Stoddard was the groom, Mrs. Chase
Bohncnkamp the bride, Marcella Ber
. ry, maid of henor, and Charles Hard
ing best man. Sally Seigrist acted
as flower girl. -
Mrs. Sherwood Williams sang the
wedding song, "Believe Me If All
Those Endearing Young Charms," at
the completion of the service.
When the ceremony was complete
the "guests went to the stage, which
was beautifully dressed to represent
a wedding reom, congratulated the
bride and groom, examined the wed
ding presents, and pantomined the
behavior of guests at an old fash
ioned wedding exactly. ' The guests
included women, children, old maids,
bachelors, etc., alt being very en
thusiastic, whether they were con
gratulating the parties to the union
or examining the wedding gifts.

Kecrclury Work of the interior de

reasons for accepting the "resigna

of tho reclamation .service, . were to
effect a reorganization of that service.
In a way that would ellmliiato need
for "two engineers" and replace one
of them with a man who could "help
tho farmers on the reclamation or

ture has been aiding the farmers of

"I have Mr. liavis' resignation." Mr.
Work .said. "We don't need two en
gineers in charge of the reclamation
service. In the future tho service
head will be known as the chief of
the bureau or reclamation and will he
qualified first to aid tho farmers rath-
er than supervise engineering works
on the projects. 1J. W. Ihivls, former
governor of Idaho, is such a iiimi und
I have appointed him as the bureau
chief, have abolished the office of di

REALTORS TO
Local Realty . Board . Tip.
ceives Announcement of
Convention at Portland
July 18-21. ; -
Decisions of far reaching impor
tance and policies that will affect
Western Realtors individually, will be
laid down at the Northwest Realty
mnuciaiiuu .annual convention it
Portland, July 18-21, according to ail-
vices just received bv SherwnnH Wil.
unms, president of the La Grande
Iteaity Hoard.
Two of the most imnnrtnnt rtinltrtc
that will come to the attention cf
the realtors will revolve ah nut the
proposed multiple listing system and
discussion of means of making the
realty license laws more effective.
In a letter just received by Sher
wood Williams from Harrv -Reckwith
president of the Portland Realty
Board, it was stated that the Pcrt
lancK board has already adopted the
multiple listing system under which j
a nronertv listed with
of a realty board is immediately put
uu .-.uic iiirougn- an otner members.
Under the plan adopted in Portland,
however, each member hn tho nri,,;.
lege of cither continuing to follow
wie exclusive listing system or join
in the multiple list group as he de
sires. No real estate man who is
not a member of the Realty Board
can take advantage of the list nor
win any realtor be accepted unless
he subscribes to the National Asso
ciation s strict code of ethics which
are designed , to .protect the buying
public from any semblance cf sharp
practices.
Tighter provisions uroverninir the
i-njwratioiiS'rof-vtHej' rewi eittate-liense
laws UKewise will be discussed with
the idea of. further eliminating irre
sponsibles from the profession. The
law which compels every real estate
man to take out a license with the
state was originated by tho realtors
and is doing a' wc-nderful work. It
IS felt in some niini-lai.H '
that the lines are not yet drawn suf-
ticicntly tight; and delegates to the
convention may be called upon to
iignic out means ior stricter enforce
ment. .
President Sherwood Williumo
tifying local realtors wlm nlnn
attending the convention to make ho
tel reservations immediately. Tour
ist travel coupled with another big
convention in Portland will over
crowd tho larger hotels and it is
cither a case of reserve new and be
sure or take chances on infer!,,,- ac
comodations later. In this connee-
tion the Portland Realtors have se
cured guarantees that no advance in
rates will be made..
; The t.....i . . ., .
1 '-".,,.iiiiiieiii. icaiures tnis
year will be radically different and
will be designed to entertain Imih
men and women jointly. Instead of
the usual stag.smokor the first day
will bo opened with a reception, a
dance and a vaudeville entertainment
in which will annenr aeinru f v,.
tional reputation. -
On Iriday afternoon. Julw fnih
an immense salmon barbecue will be
staged in a great outdoor park on
the famous Columbia River highway.
