M Richardson reduced to a scale of one Inch to the mile for aur fao area, while, in order to exhibit tho actuul height of the mountains, he has exaggerated the elevation five times, or contoured the map one Inch for every 1000 feet, using La Grande, which has an altitude of 2782 feet, qb a basic index. Map Imlwitmctlble The mop Is finished permanently with duco lacquer and Is both wash able and Indestructible. The legend contains the data of state highways in red, forest and market roads In orange; and rivers, streams and lakes in blue. As soon as the new beacon lights are permanently established by tho federal government, they will appear on the map, designated by black circles with red centers. 1 The contours of the map are built up with layer on layer of plaster until the correct elevation is ob tained. The project was built to serve as a guide for tourist travel, showing tho route to Wallowa Lake, the new scenic road up Mt. Emily, Anthony lake, and showing in con Junction, roads leading to Flora, Lewis ton, Imnaha, Starkey, Medical Springs, with an exact location of the principle lakes of the basin country. The map was made entirely by hand, as a part of the tourist pro gram of the chamber of commerce, and those Interested In addlonal In formation concerning It, as to the altitude of high mountains, ' fishing streams and forest trails, may inquire nt the chamber of commerce' office. It is hoped by the tourist com mittee that La Granders also will uso the map to Interest tourists in the scenery of this vicinity. Mr. Richardson stated this 'morn ing that 200 pounds of gypaum was mounted on woodwork weighing over 100 pounds in making the 'map.

GRAVITY OF SITUATION IS MADE CLEAR (Continued From Page One) a more sympathetic understanding than I of the difficulties with which congress Is confronted.' The situation, ho said, "calls for further sacrifices" and "the time has come for us to make sacrifices by expeditious action. "I have felt that In gits distress that a grave responsibility rests on me," the president continued. "I Urn addressing the senate because$f the three major problems confront- Ing us. These are "First, a reduction in government expenses. "Second, passage of venue legis lation that will declare to the world the balancing of the federal budget and tho stabilisation of the Ameri can dollar." K$)ef Mentioned Tho third point, he said, was ade quate relief measure for the destitute. Shortly thereafter, the present told the senators he would support a special manufacturers sales tax. He did not favor a general sales levy, but said he was ready to sup port a sales tax along the lines rec ommended to the house and now before the senate, limited to special manufactured commodities. He spoke of the special manufac turers excise taxes now before the bill as part discriminatory. "We must face the situation as It exists today." the president said as he read his address to an Intense : audience. j He colled for economics totaling j 400.000,000.
