"Hie activities planned will be many and varied, but unified to accomplish a fivefold purpose, and dedicated' to the highest interests of the people of La Grande and Union county. . Encourage farming! Fanning Is the leading pursuit of the Grande Ronde valley and will be directly benefitted if the citizens stand behind the chamber of commerce in urging the establishment of a public market. During the past year this organization sponsored the Grange Fair and Home Pro ducts Show and made about 10,000 people conscious of the vast productiveness of the valley. A delegation from the 'hftffiber appeared with local wheat growers before repre i nentatives of the federal farm board to present a plan of iwheat control through the reduction of acreage. Civic improvement! The chamber has been 'responsible for ftvihy public improvements, and for 1932 it has placed nmong its objectives the beautification of Jefferson street near. the. (lepbt, 'in. pi'der that people coming through on 'the trains may receive a more favorable impression of the "pity. Anothv'-definite" objective is' the beautification qJ Coftifo'r Highway improvement! Intensive efforts oh the part of the chamber of commerce, backed, by the people of the whole county, during 1931 made possible the construction- of the new Mt. Emily road, making accessible an incomparable vista of remarkable scenery which promises to attract hundreds of tourists to this area. During 1932 the chamber plans to encourage the improvement of roads and the protection of natural scenery. Tourist travel! - Through the publication of a small folder last year hundreds of tourists were brought to the Grande Ronde valley, tourists who othenvise might never have known the many attractions and advantages of this locality. And those tourists left hundreds of dollars in Union county. This year a much more attractive folder is being propnred and the chamber is planning strenuous efforts to bring in more tourists and persuade them to stay longer. Industrial development! This is n most important phase of activity, and during 1932 the chamber plans to urge the erection of the E. O. N. training school building, co-operation with the railroad in every possible way, and the develop ment of an airport, nil of which would be of direct benefit to both city and county. The chamber of commerce has led many worth while projects in the past and there is much it can accomplish in the near future. Its usefulness is measured by the degree to which the people of the county co-operate with it. It is the only agency for intelligently directing and co-ordinating the efforts of all our citizens in building n finer, more prosperous community. , Other Papers Say: HOW IT STARTED?' The Chronicle's invisible corres pondent at Toklo has scooped the world I Mr. X liny, a member of this newspaper's staff, who has spent many months in Japan, for the first time since the trouble started has been able to slip his dispatches past Japanese censors. The following is the inside story of the beginning of the far eastern crisis, written by a first hand observer: The scene is the Japanese war of fice or any other prominent meeting place in Toklo. A solemn gathering Is seated around a huge table, quaf fing schooners of saki and conversing loudly. It Is plain that affairs of great Importance have brought them together the crowd, not the saki.: Included are admirals, generals, dip lomats, captains of Industry and Jap anese house-boys. "Gentlemen," said Baron Heavi Shugaro, "we are facing a: crisis. The fate of Japan Is In the balance. No longer are the despised Chinese buy ing the produots of our factories. Already this year have I lost 2 mil lion yen. I tell you, we must crush them into the earth and make them buy!" A chorus of assent swelled from the assemblage. "The peoplel The people!" cried Baron Harl Karl. "We have too many people for our small Islands. Even Margaret Sanger could do us no good. We must have more land for our people. The bones of our ancestors are Crying for room." Baron Karl in turn was applauded. A hush fell over the gathering as General Ichy Ichi slowly rose to his feet. The general is the big potato in Japan. He tells diplomats where to head in, and they head. "It Is very simple," the general de clared. "We shall first seize Man churia. There our surplus population may go and grow up with the coun try. Any Chinese who stand in the way we shall kill. The others we shall hire to run the country for Japan. "As for China Itself " and here Uhe general's lip curled contemptu ously "we shall send a few thousand men to Shanghai to wipe out the Chinese army and end the boycott. The Chinese must buy from Japan. ii they don't wo shall kill thorn." ' Wild applause followed the genor ol's remarks. It was plain that most of those present were eager for blood the blood of somebody else, prefer ably a Chinaman. However, a thin, echolarly-appcar-fng son of Nippon, wearing spectacles, now arose. Ho appeared to be labor ing under a great strain. He was Plentl Shaki, a mere executive in the civil government of Japan. "aentlemen," he expostulated "have you thought what such a course would mean? Do you realize that world opinion would bo against us; that wo might become Involved in a war with the United States or Great Britain; that we are not fin ancially able to withstand a long war, and that resistance in China may be more sanguine than we xpect?" : scoffing laughter greeted his re marks. "Ho Ho," roarod General Ichy Ichf. "Listen to him telling the army what it should and should not do. That's the best laugh I've hod since we arrested those American fliers.

"Yes." agreed Baron' Karl, "every body knows that pther great powers of the world are too deeply involved with, their own troubles to care what we do in the orient; Besides, we could lick 'em all, if we should find it necessary." This sentiment appearing almost unanimous the meeting adjourned, with a final toast In saki to the land of the rising sun and its Valorous sons. And that's how it all started.
