A clean-fighting, conquering Tiger,
that flashed across gridiron, maple
court and cinder path during the
last eight months, pulled in its claws
last night and was seated at a ban
quet table, to hear the compliments
of its proud father. And, in passing,
it may be said that the Tiger, sinewy
and strong, proved itself of epicurean
quality with no more training table
menu necessary for a few months.
The occasion was the annual Hi
Dad banquet honoring the La Grande
High school students whose acconu
plishments were outstanding during
fethe past scnoox year. Hem ax me
fSacajawea Inn with Grandad Ernest
goes down In the record books as the

A Colorful Occasion. '
It was a colorful meal, and to' the
seniors in the group, it was a fitting
finale to a glorious year of achieve
ment. Thero was Fred Nowland, whose
1S.5 in the i20-yard high hurdles in
the Eastern Oregon track meet was
two-fifths of a second better than
the national interscholastic record:
there was John. Shepherd, high scorer
at the district basketball champion
ship tournament, thero was Gene
Faus and Virgil Conley, crushing
backfleld men of the 1030 gridiron
machine; there was Willie Torrence,
all around athlete, whose versatility
at Corvnllls the other day dumfound
ed track fans and actually accounted
for 174 points; and there were many
others, some passing on to post,
school days and others preparing for
another year or two of lnterscholastic
competition. '
Par down the table, inconspicuously
seated among a bunch of students
and Hl-Dads, was the king of the
Tiger den Ira Woodie, former Unl-
jNanvpa High school star. Blessed with
good material, much of which was
systematically developed during the
last few years by lnterclass competi
tion and grade school contests, Coach
Woodie sent his Tigers to two out of
thriA ma nv Fur torn OrPffon chom-
fpionshlps, and finished second in the
state football race, the stato relays at
Eugene, and tho state track meet at
CorvaUls. The year 1930-31 goes down
In history as the most successful in
local high school history from an ath
letic standpoint. During the evening,
one-of the speakers stated that Coach
Woodie would be with La Grande
High school for two more years, and
this announcement was extremely
gratifying to those at .the banquet.

Fire Damage Is
Estimated $2500
. Both fire trucks were called to the
Mt. Emily Lumber company mill at
3:50 o'clock this morning to fight a
fire that broke out due to a back
fire from a firebox under the boiler.
The flames were controlled after
damage was done to tho extent of
about $2500. The fire was confined
to the roof of the boiler room and the
shavings vault. Both firemen and
volunteers put in a hectic hour or so
before the recall was sounded at 6:05

A considerable crowd was attracted
to the fire, despite the early hour.
Tho loss was covered by insurance.
La Grander Takes
First Flight Today
Jerry Canady. of this city, a stu
dent at tho Dud Rankin flying
school, made his first solo flight this
morning after having received only
a little more than five hours of In
struction. He had no difficulty at all
either In taking off or In landing,
and although he got a real thrill out
of the trip, he did not have time to
worry or become excited over the
responsibility of piloting the ship
alone. It Is said.
W. C. Perkins, who recently pur
chased a plane of his own while on
a trip in the east, has been receiving
instruction at the Rankin school, and
has made several solo flights lately.
Mr. Rankin says that flying con
ditions here are more difficult than
at Portland because of the higher
altitude and uncertain air move
ments, so that students who learn
to fly here will be more capable
than those who get their training at
sea level, and will be able to fly
anywhere in the United States with
out difficulty

POPPIES WILL
BE SOLD HERE
23RD OF MAY
The little red memorial poppies
which disabled world war veterans
have been making in the Veterans'
hospital In Portland, for the past few
months, will be sold In La Grande a
week from Saturday, on May 23, by
the American Legion auxiliary, ac
cording to Mrs. C. E. Shewmaker,
president.. A complete organization,
which will give everyone In the city
an opportunity to buy and wear a
poppy in memory of the world war
dead, is being developed by the unit
under the leadership of the auxiliary,
and a larger salo of memorial flowers
than ever before is anticipated by tho
unit. --
"The purpose of the po?)py sale Is
two-fold," Mrs. Shewmaker explains,
"first, to honor the war dead by
wearing the poppy which grows on
the fields of France and Flanders
where- they fell and second, to aid
the living 'victims of the war, the
disabled veterans, their families and
the families of the dead. Every penny
of the money which the people of
La Grande pay for their popples will
go to the relief of war sufferers, part
of it to needy veterans and families
right here In La Grande."
Saturday, May 23, will see the whole
nation wearing the memorial poppy.
Poppy sales conducted by 7200 auxil
iary units will cover practically every
city and town In the country. More
than 10.000,000 Americans arc ex.
pec ted to pay tribute to the world
war dead, and help the war's living
victims through buying and wearing
a poppy on this day, Mrs. Shewmaker
concluded.

MADRID, May 13 (P) Orders to
shoot to kill were passed out today
by tho month-old Spanish republic
to troops guarding Roman Catholic
property as tho wave of anti-religious
enthusiasm spread, Thero was re
newed rioting in many cities, more
churches and convents were burned,
and there were many casualties.
A mob which formed during the
evening at Cordoba raided ammuni
tion stores and fought with civil
guards defending the convent 'of San
to Cayetano. Five rioters were killed
and between 20 and 30 wounded
gravely.' The civil guard saved the
convent from being burned and when
martial law was declared the situa
tion quieted.

In Madrid Attorney General Gal

would issuo Indictments against
prominent monarchists, Including
former King Alfonso at Paris, charg

embarrass the republic.
(The correspondent of the London
Dally Express quoted Galarza as say
ing Alfonso's extradition to answer
the indictment, which, has not yet
been issued, would bo sought.)
In many quarters Galarza 's an
nouncement was considered an at
tempt to appease some of the Intense
antl-monarchial olamor - which has
marked the rioting of this week.
It was learned today that Cardinal
Segura Y Saenz, primate f Spain,
fled from Toledo yesterday in a mo

HALTS PETITIONS
Referendum Against State
Police Bill Held Up By j
.. ..Yesterday's Action.;-. :
SALEM, May 13 (Proceedings
oh tho referendum against the state
police bill wore halted late yester
day by a temporary Injunction order
Issued by Judge Gale S. Hill, of
Marlon county. Tho order restrained
Attornoy General I. H. Van Winkle
from delivering a ballot title to Sec
retary of State Hal E. Hoss for the
proposed action against the legis
lative act creating a stato cons tab 1
lary. Tho case was set for hearing
in Salem May 10.
Tho Injunction was based upon tho
complaint of J. J. McDonald, Salem,
who charged that Independence hall,
a polltlcul corporation, which filed
preliminary referendum petitions in
this case, was a corporation and as
men did not have a voto in Oregon.
The law provides, tho complaint
stouten, a citizen or voter must file
petitions for referendum.
WUhhoIriK IVtltlniiH
Tho complaint of McDonald fur
thor alleges that tho potltlons wore
not signed by any cltifcon or legal
voter In tho state and for that rea
son wcro not legal. Tho restraining
order not only prevented tho at
torney general' from, further pro
cedure, but prevented tho circulation
of any such petitions.
Tho preliminary petition for a ref
erendum was filed with the secre
tary of stato May 5. and he turned
It over to the attorney general for
a ballot title, necessary before circu
lation of potltlons can be made. Tho
attorney general has ten days In
which to return the potltlons with
ballot title, and up to the time of
tho Injunction, he had not yet re
turned tho title. Under tho law 10.
080 signatures must be secured on
a referendum within 00 days of the
oloso of tho legislature, Tho time ex

Tho police bill, passed by the legis
lature as an administrative measure,
provides for the consolidation of five
law enforcement agencies under ono
head and ono system. The law, un
less halted by a referendum until
tho next general election, will go
into offcrt August 1.
Upon his arrival In Portland Mon
day morning, he will be met by rep
resentatives of tho governor, the
mayor of Portland and other official
representatives. Ho will be taken to
