Tho Semi-Centennial celebration marking r)(l years of prog ress of the railroad into this territory and reviewing as well the story of the earlier settlement of the Grande Uonde val ley was told to homo folks and visitors alike in i) manner that in its presentation and production will stand alongside of affairs of its kind offered in communities many, many times the size of 1m Grande. This city and its citizens can well be proud of what it save and accomplished during the three days of last week, iiaek into all sections of the country will be carried by our many guests at the occasion, the story that Ia Grande is a place that does things and does them right. Ours was no ordinary small town show. The parade of hist Friday morning would have drawn deserved applause along any line of inarch in any city anywhere. The Legion drum corps display that same evening, presenting as it did the drills and music of groups ranking high in national com petition, gave an eNhibition to the local audience that was of the best. .The historical pageant review of Saturday afternoon was slamped by noted visitors and critics as the "best of its kind every produced in tho Northwest." A recognized authority here from Chicago voiced the opinion that "the Century of Progress would welcome a pageant of such splendid char acter." 1 4i Grande may well be proud and pleased with its cele bration show. Proud, too, of the general public spirit so mani fest both lefore and during the affair and which contributed so greatly to the great all-around three-day success. A spirit of general co-operation among all factions and groups word ing in perfect harmony for the celebration success. This spir it was manifest in a happy example found in connection with the wrestling matches, originally planned outdoors for the last evening. When threatening weather seemed certain to ruin the chances of this Kpulnr part of the prograni, though the usual policy strictly and rightly prohibits the use of the building for any but amateur sports, in face of the emergency the L. D. S. Recreational hall, the only indoor spot of sizeable proportions, was quickly given by the leaders of the Latter Day Saints church. The entire community did itself proud with especial hats off to those of tho committees in charge. 'or months before in preparation and during the time of the affair, these pub lic spirited individuals worked unceasingly and apparently untiringly to make this community enterprise the great suc cess it turned out to be.

Thrill followed thrill as the four mlddlewelghts showed their wares in speedy fashion. Harry Elliott, University of Oregon wrestling coach and a top-notch grappler himself, officiated In the ring and handled the matches very well, even though he had to tear into Bulldog Jackson several times in order to keep tho match within the agreed rules. Reed took the first fall from Mc Oulre In 21 minutes 6 seconds on a rolling cradle, but McGulre came back to even the count in 13 minutes 23 seconds with his famous Indian death lock. Reed saved himself in the last part of tho match by gaining the ropes when McOuire clamped on the same hold, and then won from McOulre with an airplane spin. The time on the third fall was 14 minutes 25 seconds. Kunkle took the opening fall in 12 minutes and 22 seconds from the "old meany." Bulldog Jackson, with an in verted body slam, and the Portlander came back strong with a series of hnmmerlocks to pin Kunkle in 11 minutes 5 seconds. He used the ham mer loe k5 consistently from then on, nnd appeared to have Kunkle thor oughly beaten, when the Salt Lake City boy surprised the crowd with a )ody slam that put Jackson dowt for the deciding fall In 14 minutes 15 seconds. Winnie Myers, 150, of Union, won by a technical knockout over Ralph Depew. of Pendleton, weighing 148, at the end of the second round in the first boxing match, and Gerald Butcher, 134.
