his ballot.
The president's New York speech,

Hallowe'en In
City Unusually
Quiet This Year
Quiet predominated last night as
La Grande celebrated Hallowe'en, and
although pranksters were out, no
complaints were lodged against them,
Jim Stcffcn, police chief, said this
morning. The majority of the Hal
lowe'en fun consisted of soaping win
down and ringing doorbells, and It Is
believed to be the quietest event of
its kind here In several years.
No injuries were reported inside the
city, although Warren Hawes, of
Mcachnm. 12 years old, was brought
to the Grande Ronde hospital for
treatment for a broken leg and a head
Injury, sustained last night while ob
serving Hallowe'en.
,, Ap, old buggy with, only quo wheel
was "parked near the- corner of Adams
avenue and Fir street, but no valu
able property was damaged so far as
polico reports show.
Somo additional excitement was
caused earlier In the evening when
the fire truck made a short run to a
downtown garage.
PORTLAND POLICE USE RADIO
PORTLAND. Nov. 1 (At A hob-gob-lin
ir. no match for the police radio.
The city's yougsters loomed this
last night after having long laid
plans for a line, largo night of Hal
lowe'en vandalism. Scores of these
ph.ns went glimmering by timely ar
rival of radio-equipped police cars.
At first the roistering youths be
lieved it mere coincidence. But after
being caught red-hahaded several
times they realized the thing they
were up against was science.
Arrests were few. Scooting to the
scene of a prank the radio cars fre
quently arrived as the deed was be
ing consummated. "Put 'em back,
boys." was the unfailing order. And
sheepishly tho pranksters returned
tho sign or replaced the porch seat.
Tho only consequential damage re
ported was a $600 firo caused when
9-year-old Donald Carter took his
pumpkin Jack-o'-lantern to the at

With the closing of the month of
October, the total rainfall in La
Granc for tho first 10 months of
the year amounted to 17.17 Inches,
which represents 2.02 inches more
than normal. According to long-time

in the spring the excess rainfall was

months cut It down considerably.
