Whether he could be brought back from Greece on an extradition writ was considered questionable. 1 Nego tiations between Greece and the United States for an extradition treaty have been opened, but have not been completed. Although Insull bought his ticket for Greece from a travel agency, In MJIlan, Italy, last Thursday, while a search was being made for him, the fact was not disclosed until yester day, after he was on his way to Athens.

NOTE IN BOTTLE ASKS FOR HELP v (Continued from Page One) On the paper was a message, writ' ten In pencil and made partly un decipherable from water. It read: "8. O. B. July 22, 1932. I am ma rooned on a amall Island somewhere near the Hawaiian group. Food enough for xxxeks. Send help. 15-yr.-old girl, xxxnla Graves," On the other side of the paper, apparently torn from a small calendar, was written, "Help." Seafaring men pointed out that the note could be of little value In mak ing a check, even If genuine, because of the fact that there are numerous Islands In the group and no position Is given. COUNTY FAIR SUCCESS AT ENTERPRISE (Continued from Page One; for the championship by rolling up a total of 96 points In Thursday and Friday's bucking, was thrown after about three Jumps by Santa Claus, a mean horse that lost - every rider who attempted to ride him. Cody had been placed in jail Friday evening on a warrant arising out of some alleged infraction of law at the time the late Joseph State bank was closed, but was released In custody of Sheriff Miller In order to make the Another outstanding .achievement Saturday by Tom Zahm was the bull dogging of a steer In 18 seconds. He also rode the Zurcher relay string on Thursday and Friday, winning Thursday and losing by a very narrow margin on Friday. Saturday he was so shaken up by the hard ride to the championship that he . had to give away to another rider. Eldon Smith also bulldogged his steer on Satur day but In much slower time. Stahl Rides Jttzza Climaxing the day's hard bucking contest, Pess Stahl, veteran rider of many Pendleton Round-Ups, gave an exhibition ride on Jazza bucking mare that has been the terror of riders here for many years. He rode beauti fully and received a great hand. The day's events Saturday started with a parade through the main streets of Enterprise and at the grounds, led by the Enterprise muni cipal band under direction of Guy Craig, local boy who spent four years as solo cor net 1st with the famous Oregon State college band, and fea Comfort Goes Although quite at home in any part of the United States, this design har monizes best, probably, with the New England or middle Atlantic topo graphy. One notes at the front door a fea ture of convenience for the house wife or maid: the kitchen communi cates directly with the entry. There Is a good-sized living room, a nicely proportioned dining room and & bedroom and bath on the first floor. If preferred this bedroom may be made a library, game room or den one might even turn the space Into the living room and have one of those oddly shaped rooms now highly pop ular. ! A disappearing bed could be put 'into the closet marked "C," and thus a guest room for emergencies might turing an exhibition by the Chief Joseph drum corps of the American legion led by "Casey" French, strut ting drum major and directed by A. B. Aminlno, local furniture dealer. Exhibits of fine cattle were lea tured by the 4-H clubs of the county and the fine six-horse team of C. C. Boswell, Walker Franklin and Vint Hart gave a pretty exhibition under the expert handling of C. C. Boswell, veteran stage driver who has been practically reared on or around horses. Fast Races Fast races were a feature of Sat urday's program. The first, a half mile free for all was won by George Moffttt's Hula-Hula In 51 seconds. The pony express was close with the Boswell and Warnock Btrlng win ning In a close finish In 3:09 for the mile and a half. Moffltt's Hazel Wood took first In the quarter mile for 3-year-olds in 29 seconds. The three-eights mile consolation was won by Tom Dorrance's Blondle In 39 2-5 seconds.

Grangers Win The business men's and granger's relay race gave victory to the grangers for the third consecutive day. It was all In fun and the amateur riders gave a god account of themselves. The saddle horse contest gave vic tory to Cliff Wade's sorrel, winner of many such contests and nearly hu man In obeying the slightest wish of the rider. Second went to Dor rance's horse and third to Kelsey Berland. The event was Judged by Jim Blakeslee, pioneer Bherlff of Wal lowa county now a resident of Baker county and straight, hale and hearty In spite of better than 80 years of living with and among pioneers. The relay for the day developed sceral surprises. , Vera Warnock, who had been riding the Wade and Dor rance string lost his saddle In a for mer race and had the horse fall on him with the result that he had to be taken to the hospital where at latest reports he Is getting alonfe all right, but this necessitated a substi tution of riders, and Tom Zahm also had a substitute rider for the Zur cher string he had been riding for the two previous days. The result was that Green Brothers atrlngTid den by Kenneth Green took first. In trying to mount the second horse In the Zurcher string the rider lost his seat and sat down In the middle of the track the horse continuing on without him. The rider for the Ward and Dorrance string had his saddle slip and was thrown after starting the second horse. Noticing this the rider, Ted Mofflt, sprinted across the center of the track caught his horse and rode on around, finally winning second. Another Casualty Another casualty of .the Saturday afternoon program wob Jake Berlnnd, who was painfully kicked on the' leg by a horse, but not soriously Injured as the bone was not broken. A feature of the races was the starter. Leek WHIett, of Wallowa, who did the Job to the satisfaction of everybody. Also might be mentioned the faithful work of the wranglers and other cowboys behind the scenes who kept the show moving and the tireless energy of Wm. J. Ortman, secretary, who was everywhere urg ing and coaxing riders and performers to speed up the performance, with the result that It moved smoothly and swiftly to the enjoyment of the large crowds. The work of Ben Weathers, postmaster of Enterprise, and veteran announcer, also merits praise. In spite of a cold wind, the largest crowd of the fair gathored Saturday and enjoyed every minute of the eents. Friday was also a banner day with a large delegation of La Grande people on hand to give encourage ment and to advertise the opening of the new airport In La Grande. With Dignity be secured. Downstairs convenience It further enhanced with a dining al cove In the basement stair hall. Upstairs there may be three bed rooms aa In the plan, or the owner's room may be made Into two smaller cubicles. The unusual dressing room and bath should be noted. The exterior may be excellent o commonplace, depending on the ad vice of the architect. Beams and halftlmbers should be weathered natural woods, hand hewn or sand blast finish, aa should the rough clapboards at the gable ends. Hand split shingles are best for the roof, laid very Irregularly. A northwest front Is recommended, and a lot at least 75 by 150 feet Is required, one with trees If possible.
