IT'S UP TO OUR CITIZENRY, NOW
Mnvr iiioolr T.n 'dm win will id'n two Ihinirs of unusuill fill'
portance. First, it will be host on July 17,18,19 to the weSt-
em union meeting ot the brotherhood ot ixicomouve n,n
cineers with hundreds of delegates to be here from 11
western states and three Canadian provinces. Second, it will
stae-e a Semi-Cenlennial Union Pacific celebration, July 19,
20, 21, commemorating the arrival of the first train here half
a century ago.
The business men of Lit Grande have underwritten the
celebration to the extent of several thousand dollars. The
railroad people and a committee of earnest workers are busy
day and night extending every effort to stage a eelobration
that not only will do justice to the occasion and anniversary
it represents, but will be something that will, bring Wide
spread publicity and benenls to this 'city ana valley.
' Everything is being done by this group of workers tlia,t
possibly can be done to reach the ultimate goal. Unques
tionably, they are doing a praiseworthy job.
pBut, without meaning to be particularly critical, rather
with the hope of presenting a constructive thought to some,
, the town as a whole seems not to yet fully realize the magni-
tude of the undertaking, the importance the convention and
celebration bear to this city's future, and how each individual
citizen can do his bit.
The western union meeting of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers never before has been held n ii city with
less than 100,000 population. Think of that! The celebra
tion itself represents something that never has been tried
before in this section of the state. That, also deserves more
than passing notice. '
In the past there have been, admittedly, some celebrations
staged in Ija Grande that wore not all that had been hoped
for, possibly due to something over which the committeemen
had no control. Smacked a bit too much perhaps of the real
small town variety. However, the events next week backed
by the complete enthusiasm of the railroad people, the com
mittee workers, and thousands who expect to come hre
from out-of-town points are certain to go, to make up ah
occasion that will excel the expectations of many. There
exists no question but that the convention and celebration
will bo the most important of their kind over witnessed in
this section of, Oregon., PJ,V . .,; . ..
Here is another thought worthy of deep consideration.
Practically everyone in La Grande owes his or her presence
and well being here to the fact that this is a railroad town.
' Now then, the committee arranging for the celebration lis
not asking for more money other than a reasonable at
tendance at events during the celebration at which a nominal
charge will be made; it is not asking for physical labor; it is
not asking nny particular work from the citizenry of La
Grande, What it is asking, and extremely hopeful of 'Ve-
sciving, is united comaminity moral support. The urging if
possible of nearby friends to come here for a visit during the
cejebration, the sending of publicity to out-of-town points
with the hope of enticing additional visitors to the city next
week, and probably most important of all, word of mouth
tjhat will speak highly and not disparagingly of the celebra
tion, i '.
'!'A united La Grande community spirit, backing the cele
bration to the nth degree. That is all Unit is needed now to
make the events of the coming week stand out in this city's'
history. Were the right community spirit manifest, it is
not far fetched to believe that something of an annual or
periodical nature might be built up that in time would attain
the same national importance that has becqme attached to
a project of one of our neighboring cities Pendleton, whose
Hound-Up has been built to the place it holds today largely
through united community spirit.

commission that a similar elk sea

Washington state game board.
Iligid liif ml I'liiniiwl
Areas declared open will bo rigidly
patrolled by forest rangers, it was
stated, and hunters will bo required
to registor with a ranger when they
outer a given area and when they
omorge. This chock of ho hunters,
Mr. Kavanaugli pointed out, will al
low rangers to uncertain that every
hunter 1h properly equipped to care
for his kill and It also will allow n
census of game taken. , "
All of Baker county except that
portion southwest ot the. John Dny

opened., ,.
Killing 'Held .Necessary v.
Grant county north of the middle
fork of the John buy fiver and "east
or the Pendle ton-Bums highway .wilt
be opened.
The taking of these elk is a neces
sity," Mr. Kavnnaugh said in his rec
ommendations, "since the Increases In
thosc hords has been unabated nnd
!u now nt a dangerous point. We have
reduced the number of sheep and
cattle that graze over these ranges,
and now It becomes necessary to re
duce the oik hordH before the supply
of forage Is depleted to an extent
that will endanger tho entire herds."
Although It was expected that a
controversy would arise at the sug
gestions of tho forest service, not a
dlwenting word was spoken. The
recommendations were followed to
the letter.
Former Season Recalled
Mr. Kavanaugh, explaining his rea
sons for n rigid check of hunters as
they entered the area, hinted at the
unfortunate elk season of 1933. when
score of animals were killed n:id left
to decompose in the hills because the
hunters were poorly equipped to care
for their vast quarry. It is planned
to reduce the herds on the named
rangos by about.. 15 per cent, since
this figure, Mr. Kavanaugli said, will
aire for the normal Increase of the
animals.
