AN EXCELLENT PLAY ' ,..,
,: .The , I. Grande' High school senior class' play "The IntiV
miate Strangers", goes down in' local records as one of ne
best dramatic productions presented here by an amateur
cast. From the director, Miss Kathryn Sartin, down through'
the actors, managers, etc., all those. who helped to make the
production a success are deserving of a great deal of credit;
FOG AND AIR TRAVEL .
.LuGranfle, besides ta geographical location which mattes
it ideal as an inland air travel center, has another good point
th'qt 'ispe$iaps 'he most outstanding of all. Jt is absence lof
fog. The other night, it was learned that every airport of
consequence in the far western states was covei-ed with a
blanket of fog with the sole exception of La Grande. When
permanent' airports of gravel are finally decided on in the
Pacific northwest, that matter of fog should go a long way
toward giving La!Grande a favorable position.. "
TE ,B0XJNG TOURNAMENT
, ,. La Grande is about to be treated to a new sort of sporting
, event aii least, hew. to this sqction qf the qtate an tmi
ateur boxing tournament. Scores of eager battlers, simon-:
pure and with only one object in mind to win," will go' into!
i..' m , i. i.t r . '1' : ' xi.
iicuoii luesaay nigns hi, uie oaraijawca arena, me snow
spohspred .by the .Eagles lodge for its .benefit fund. La
Grande boys will be pitted against out-of-town boys accord
ing ''to weights. ' .
Probably more action will be seen during any one night of
the three-day tournament than during two 'op three profes
sional cards, and all indications point to unusually large
crowds. It will be one of those events wherein the fighters
ge,t no money, but they'll be fighting for the glory of a title,
and there's bound to be battling galore. And li&y the best
bnan win! '

Ufiuor over operating costs, together
with "such other revenues as you may
provide for unemployment relief', be

After tho emergency has been pass
ed, tlie governor stated tho revenue

estimated rovenuo from liquor sales
between $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 a

utUltlee. The governor stated that
"among other possible available reve
nue to aid our distressed schools, I
would reconuneud for your favorable
consideration a gross earnings tax oh

need for relief in, schools, citing the
large delinquency of school warrants.

cial crisis," the governor xirged "crea
tion of a separate state authority,

Ho declared that since the enactment
of tho present measure for bus and

macto that lncqunlitles exist in the
operation of this law. If such inequal-
ttoH exist they should be adjusted, but
tho principle that buses ami trucks
should pay a fair returii for the use
of our hlglnvnye should bo main
tained."
An almost unanimous expression of
"flno message" was mndo by leading
senators and representatives folioyr-
ing tlie governor's address. Many of
them said they agreed with the pro
gram with but few exceptions.

'THIRTY-FIVE Tractor'
For many year's "Caterpillar" Track-type Tractors have
demonstrated their ground-gripping traction, power, stam
ina and dependabilty in the toughest jobs of farming, log
ging, dirt moving and industry. ,
After years of research, the first "Caterpillar" Diesel
Tractor powered wth the "Caterpillar" Diesel engine was
released for sale two years ago. Since that time, larger size
"Caterpillar" Diesel tractors have operated thousands of
hours in the hardest-kinds of work in our territory.
The "Caterpillar" Thirty-five Diesel uses the same tried
and proved engine parts as the larger Fifty and Seventy
five models. You'll agree it shows clever engineering when
you see it.
