RELIEF MAP MADE
BY H. RICHARDSON
(Continued from Pago One) ;
counties. 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.

congress Is confronted.'
The situation, ho said, "calls for

expeditious action.

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

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.

Whethor this Is to be the course
not. further taxes should be

If tax and economy legislation- had
been promptly enacted, the presi
dent said, the problem would not be
so difficult. .
Must Face the Facts
But we must face the situation
as it exists today." he added.
"It. may well be that the Income
taxes have already been raised to the
point of diminishing returns.''
Turning to unemployment relief,
President Hoover said he favored al
lowing the Reconstruction - Corpora
tion increase Its Issuance of securities
up to a total of $3,800,000,000.
The president's appearance before
the senate was a surprise move,
after several daj and lights . of
conferences with congressional lead
ers. Address Prepared Hastily
He prepared his address hastily,
arrived at the capltol a few min
utes aifter noon, was ushered hur
riedly Into the senate chamber, and
spoke his appeal in a voice so quiet
it failed to carry Into the far cor
ners of the gallery.
On the way along Pennsylvania
