LA (iUANDK MAY W'ICLL UK I'ltOUD
''La.Griihdo has had a celebration three, days of parade,
festivity' and pageantry that will live' lonjf in the memory of
nil who had the good fortune to witness or participate in it.
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.

Hot urns Home
Mrs. H. C. Straiten returned today
to her home In Troutdale. Ore., after
spending: the last week vlsit'lng her
mother, Mrs. Jnmes Nelson, and
other relatives and friends.
generally said the wrestling was the
best exhibition of Its kind staged here
in many years. 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. La Grande, put Harry
Lag es, 135, Pendleton, to sleep In
the second round of their bout. They
carried Eagles from the ring, so com
pletely wos he knocked out. The first
round of this match was about even
but Butcher came back strong In the
second .round and was ahead on
points at the time of the kayo punch,
