Chairman U. R. Huron and Vice
Chairman A. McAllister.
Theycar 1934 Is the 50th anniver
sary of the arrival of the railroad
here and in the celebration it is
planned to reproduco the spirit of
adventure of the early settlers, the
stability that made La Grande grow
from a small village Into a modern
city.
One of the highlights of the cele

in which the story of tho beginning
6f settlement In this vicinity and
subsequent events will be revealed in
brilliancy.

NO IMMEDIATE
THREAT OF SNOW
Milder, clearer weather was La

same as Tuesday's maximum. Rain,
amounting to .30 of an inch, fell
yesterday In this city, swelling the
total for the year to 22.86 inches,
with four more days to go.
The weather forecast Is: "Unsettled
tonight and Thursday, occasional
rain in west and north portions;
little change In temperature; moder
ate to fresh southeast wind offshore."
Apparently, the threat of snow In
Eastern Oregon has passed for the
present, and Indications were that the

In his detailed order General White
pointed out that the military service
Is engaged not only In training men
In a military way for use In event of
a national emergency, but Is also
charged with character building.
In issuing his mandatory order on
the subject of liquor to his officers
and noncommissioned officers tho
guard commander pointed out that
there are a large number of young
men In the ranks between the ages
of 18 and 21 to whom liquor can not
legally be dispensed, and stressed the
fact that the training- place of the
national guard must be viewed as
having the same status as the cam
pfc of a university or high school,
wherein the introduction of liquor is
not countenanced.
