Beginning
In oi dor for the La Grande
contraSf for the state fair at Salem it was necessary to meet Port
land musician prices for the engagement, which means that the
carfe and extra time consumed by the La Grande band is not
considered by the state fair board, as business is business with the
fair officers and they demand competitive bids on music as well
as other things.
sYesterday several citizens of
financial handicap the home band is working in order to compete
with other musical organizations more favorably located, and it
was decided to have the Evening Observer start an "Appreciation
Fund" for the band, publication of the list of free will donations
starting' tomoirow.
There is needed about $G00 for the boys to have an even break
with the bands of the lower country and this amount will doubt
less be promptly raised with the appreciation fund.
, All summer the band concerts have been highly appreciated
by the geneiai public and often requests have been -made of the
Evening Observer to learn how any citizen can express his appre
ciation of the concerts with a reasonable donation. That time has
now arrived and any amount from a dollar up from individuals is
in order, while business firms tiaturaily will give around the five
and ten-dollar mark in order to raise a fund for the band without
any of its members being forced to ask the public for consideration.
Let us do this as a community and thereby show the commu
nity heart in La Grande is right. Everyone knows the worth of
the band, and now, while the opportunity is open, let everyone
telephone Main 37, stating the amount you desire to give to the
Appreciation Fund, a printed roll of which will appear tomorrow.

Raise Quota
La Grande again stepped to
the front today -when the offi
cial announcement came that the
La Grande committee of the Old
Oref
I rai.si
ficit
Oregon Trail association, had
;ed their set quota of the de
; facirns the association fot-
inir the Old Orecon Trail Pa-
K&iHt at Meacham, July 3 ami
4. La Grande is the first city in
Eastern Oregon to "go over the
top'1 with their share of the de
ficit. !An estimate today showed that
La Grande had due up her share
of the deficit, about 2,700 is yet
due from Pendleton, Baker,
Union, North Powder and
Haines.
lAfter the deficit had been es
timated following the ending of
Iho Meaeham pageant, which
was attended by the late Presi
dent iHrdin, a certain Hum
was assigned the principal cit
ies in Eastern Oregon to raise.
La Grande's portion amounted
to $1,900. That amount had
practically been secured here
when it wan discovered that it
would be necessary for each city
to contribute1 a little more
and another $100 was added to
this city's quota, raising it to
$2,000- And today that amount
is ready for the association.
