I One of Few Celebrations
' in past years, those La Granders
who suffered from the holiday spirit
on the anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence
went out of the city and celebrated
the memorable event at any of num
erous observances. This year La
Grande will have the only celebra
tion In Baker, Umatilla and Union
counties, It Is believed. The Ameri
can Legion, therefore, asks the co
operation of civic bodies In making
the event a credit to the city and a
fitting close to La Grande's long
Fourth of July vacation.
Permission to take over the town
on the day of. the celebration has
been obtained from the city officials.

ing are among the contests. , Horse
ehoe pitchers are expected to assem
ble from miles around to vie, a
baseball game will be held during the

tho measure.
MacPherson said the Corvallls cam
pus buildings and equipment could
accommodato more than 8000 students
of the combined institutions but that
tho campus at Eugene Is crowded.
Corvallls was chosen as the location
for the consolidation lmply from the
geographical standpoint and Its abil
ity to utilize present equipment for
a combined university. He said that
on tho basis of square feet In class
rooms and laboratories tho state col
lege has 321,000 square feet, while
the university has only 87,000 square

Payments-Or State,
Farmers Will Suffer.
ROSEBURG, Ore., June 15 yp) In a
letter addressed to Governor Julius
L. Meier; State Senator B. L, Eddy
of this city today suggested that the
governor call a special three-day ses
sion of the legislature to consider en
actment of a law permitting auto
mobile owner license feeB to bo paid
In Installments and perhaps make
some reductions In tho amount of
motor vehicle licenses. .
Strict enforcement of the present
state motor license law, Senator Eddy
declares, would Be r ion sly affect agrl
oulture and small Industries of the
state and, he adds, as the governor
has no power to declare a moratorium
on auto licenses, It will require a
legislative act to provide relief for the
owners of motor vehicles.

Eddy stated, "but I believe that the
