rProgramFor3-I
Picnic On Aug. 13
Completed Today
Mrs. L. Donham, chairman, of the
program committee, is announcing
the final program for the sixth an
nual Three-I picnic, to be held next
Sunday, August 13, nt Riverside park.
The idea of the program according to
Mrs. Denham, and to R. J. Kitchen,
who Is president of the association
this year, is to have a very good, but
comparatively short program, allow
ing former residents of Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa ample time for vU
lttng. etc. Union county folks who
have previously lived In one or more
of the three states, together with
their families and friends, are given
an invitation to be present next Sun
day.
The plan of the day is to assemble
at the park following the morning
church services, or earlier if desired,
with basket dinners, the meal to be
served to larger or smaller groups as
those attending may care to arrange.

BICYCLE RIDING WAS
POPULAR '93 SPORT
Bicycles, which were becoming
quite popular in La Grande 40 years
ago, have been enjoying ft return to
popularity among the more adult
' population of the city of late.
For many, many years, bicycles
although used extensively by young
and old alike In Europe have been
regarded as largely vehicles for young
er children in this country. Here
and there some one of the adult class
used a bicycle, but It was through
necessity, mostly.
Now It Is no uncommon sight to
see a young woman, or young man
of high school age or older, pedal
ling serenely around, the young
women most likely attired In shorts.
An In some of the larger cities, a
great many adults are toking up the
riding of bicycles In fact, there
was one fatality In Portland a few
weeks ago when a woman lost con-
trol of her blko and was killed In
th-fc crash.
Forty years ago, there were about
2S bicycle riders In La Grande, ac
cording to the La Orande Chrc.cle

Every week or so another fine plan
comes from the administration. This
last one of "no strikes during these
times and It's to be settled fairly by
the government," that's one of the
best yet.
Unions are fine things, for they
are in every lino of business. Bank
ers have their association for mu
tual benefit, governors have theirs,
all big Industries are banded togeth
er in some way, but a strike should
be the very last meanB, for it like
war It always falls on those who had
nothing to do with calling It. So
viva this last move. Yours, .

found a few weeks ago on a deserted
cabin back of Hilgard. The sport was
becoming quite the thing In La
Grande, and "a meeting should be
held for the purpose of organizing a
club", the paper said.
J. L. Cavlness & Co.. successors to
Young, Dart Conkey. advertised an
attractive bicycle called "The '03 New
Mall." It was similar to the modern
bicycle except that the seat and
handlebars were higher above the
frame, and a different type of spring
was used to absorb the Jolts. There
were mu-frunrds for both front and
rear wheel, but no stand, and the
bike also sported a protecting guard
over the chain. Prom the size of the
sprocket, It appears that the early day
bicycles were built for hill climbing
more than speed.
Also, there was a metal bar run
ning from the front of the scat to
the center of the haillebars, which
probably required the rider to dis
play quito a bS of dexterity In
mounting the bike.

Drowning is New
Theory In Death
Of San Diego Boy
SAN DIEQO, Cal., Aug. 7 )
Accidental drowning was tho theory
advanced today for tho death of Dal- .
bcrt Aposhlan, tho child whose mut
ilated body was token from Son Diego
bay, in a new surprising turn of In
vestigation of the case conducted by
tho sheriff's office.
A playmate of the child, whose
supposed slayer has .been sought for
weeks, yesterday, told Sheriff Ed
Coopor that Dalbert had fallen, into
tho ocean from a catwalk under a
pier.
A group of medical exports who re
examined the 'body said they believed
the story Dolbert's companion, Jackie
Confar, nine years old, told.
Sheriff Cooper, too, and the depu
ties who havo been working on the
caso wore inclined to bolteve that It
was a caso of simple drowning.
Three of the medical exports 'add
ed that it was logical to believe orabe
ate portions of the child's .body, lead
ing to tho theory that Dalbert had
been slain and tho body mutilated
by a person of fiendish designs. Two ;
took exception. -i -. v
