Compromise Plan Adopted
' This Year La Grande
Stores Not to be Asked
to Close During Show.
Alter consultation with stock
show officials at Union to learn the
needs of that organization in fi
nancing its program for June 8, 9
and 10, a committee from the La
Grande chamber of commerce this
morning announced a plan of co
operation that promises to go far
in solving existing problems. Im
mediate need of working capital Is
the chief and foremost problem at
Union and to this end the local
committee announces It has asked
a delegation of Union businessmen
to come to La Grande next Thurs
day to sell advanced tickets.
Theso tickets will cost S1.S0 and
will be good for three admissions
all on one day or one each day or
any way that the purchasers care
to use them. This is a change from
the first plan. Those who want to
buy three tickets, good 'one each
day, can still have them for S1.25.
These coupons must be used on
three separate days. They are put
on the market for such as go each
day and want to save 25 cents.
Stores Not to Close
This method Is unique In that It
Is a compromise. No stores will be
asked to close on any of the three
days as has been the customi in the
past. To buy a few tickets in ad

EUGENE, Ore.. : May 28 ' (fP) A
state-wide fight , against the pro
posed physical consolidation of the
University of Oregon and Oregon
State college Into one educational
institution to be located at Corval-
11s, and abandonment of the normal
school at Monmouth, will be offi
cially launched at a large mass
meeting to be held in the armory
here Tuesday night.
Every Lane - county taxpayer has
been Invited to attend the meeting
which was called by a Joint com
mittee from Eugene, La Grande,
Monmouth and Ashland. The pur
pose of the gathering Is to explain
to the people the damage which the
committee believes would result to
property interests should the con
solidation plan succeed.
The committee insists, in addi
tion, that the plan to establish a
teachers' college at Eugene, and
Junior colleges at La Grande and
Ashland Is entirely Impracticable.
Committee members contend that
with the normal school taken away,
neither the Ashland nor the - La
Grande schools could expect an en
rollment of more than 60 or 80 and
that the overhead would prevent
operation on this small scale. .,
