The highest tempemtuio reported yesterday was 107 In Aurora, 111, ARBITRATION 1 QUESTION IN THEIR HANDS (Continued From Pi go One) counted by the mediation board which will announce the result. Although It had been Intimated thnt harbor work might be suspended here during the balloting, police headquarters this morning sent squads of regular and special officers to- tho waterfront where loading op erations were planned. Pickets made a short-lived attempt to halt delivery of gasoline today. Af ter truck drivers had been stopped by pickets and warned not to continue deliveries, orders came from the wa men'a union not to interfere with the movement of trucks. The 1,400 employes of the Doern becher Furniture company here will return to work Wednesday morning, the company announced today. The workers have been off for ten days because tho strike prevented move ment of the huge quantities of fur niture manufactured. Conrad Negstad, president of the longshoremen's local, would venture no prophecy as to the result of the vote hero. "It hard to tell what the vote will be here." he said. "I know one thing, however, they'll vote down arbitration in the north (Seattle)." He added that he personally "was not sold on arbitration." HISTORY OF OLD OREGON RE-ENACTED (Continued, From Page One) never bo witnessed again. While the Indians were coming to the stadium, the A Cappella ohoir of La Grande, directed by Andrew Loney Jr., sang two numbers and the Spokane American Legion drum and bugle corps furnished a drill demon stration. The Indians entered the stadium and. staged three tribal dances, win ning a great ovation from the audience. The group, representing tho Walla Walla, Umatilla and Cay uso tribes, presented a great dem onstration, garbed in their richest habiliments stepping to the thump ing of a tribal drum. Following the Indians, history of an early day unfolded, first with the Wilson Price Hunt expedition of 1811 13 stepping onto the field, accom panied by Pierre and Madame Dorlon as guides and with a party with an ox team.. It was near hero on New Year's day that the group celebrated the occasion, and about that time that Madame Dorion gave birth to the first child of white ancestry born In this district. Captain Bonneville, whose name Is closely linked with early exploration, and Nathaniel Wyatt, early day ex plorer, presented the next episode, staging their meeting of a century ago, in July, 1834. Then came the missionaries, headed by Jason Lee and Nathaniel Lee, bringing the Methodist faith to the Indians. The Grande Ronde valley waa de picted then in 1836, with Narcissi and Marcus Whitman, and Rev. and Mrs. H. H. Spauldlng portrayed, before their tragic end in the massacre. The period from 1842 to 1859 was one of rapid settlement for Oregon, and appropriately depicted with liv ing characters and then came the concluding and drnmatlc climax to the prologue, with Old Chief Joseph, represented by Gilbert Conner, of Umatilla, a Nez, Perce and a nephew on his mother's side of the famous chief. He spoke to the crowd, using words that presented Joseph's plea to the white men for fair treatment for his tribesmen and women. Tho pageant of transportation opened with an Indian squaw, trudg ing wearily along under her burden, followed closely by an Indian woman mounted on a horse and dragging a crude "vehicle," a, drag made by two long poles with a cross section. In their order, came later, vehicles, the covered wagons, the dump cart, the stage coach, pony express, etc., leading up to a thrilling scene, the holdup of an old stage coach and passengers by robbers and a rescue by U. S. cavalrymen La Grande na tional guardsmen, garbed In the old blue uniforms, wore. artillerymen and Infantrymen. The railroad phase was next, head ed by the "Old Pony," first locomo tive to operate in Oregon and "driv en" by Martin King and R. W. Weeks. The Semt-Oeuteunlal celebration was first conceived by King, a retired U. P. engineer, -and the crowd paid tribute with rounds of applause. Men and women horseback riders of tho 90s, the vanishing cowboys to the accompaniment of a solo "The Last Round-Up" by Alfred Meyers, two modern Indian young women In a high speed roadster, an airplane dropping low over the stadium, a procession of cars led by a 1904 Ford and the first Cadillac ever purchased in this valley, etc. When the two young Indian wo men, Molly Penney and Margaret Shoeshtp, arrived at the grandstand they were presented a bouquet of flowers by Mrs. Harriet MacDonald, on behalf of the celebration commit tee. . -A During the afternoon Mrs.;W. H. Parkinson sang a song, words com posed by Wilbur Shaw and the music by herself, and the La Grande band furnished music. All In all, it was an unusually Im pressive pageant, and probably the one person most responsible ' for 1 success waa A. W. Nelson, who . ha received much credit for the splen did presentation. Throughout, the" costumry of tho characters waa per fectly portrayed, and nothing was lacking except an abundance of sun shine, which did come forth, half an hour after the Bhow had ended, ' 1 The telephone company also assist ed with the pageant, providing tho communications system, and ' the Standard Oil Co. loud speaking ap paratus was indispensable. With the exception of one or two minor, matters of timing, the entire pageant was ataged without the1 benefit of a rehearsal. One could have written many col umns on the pageant, going Into de tail on every episode, but lack of apace prevents a more complete ac count. The pageant was the formal closing episode of the Seml-Centen-nlal celebration, although a wrek-i tllng-boxlng card and evening dances completed the third day's program., , Hull Downs Fascist Sergeant BRINDISI, Italy (ff) A motorcycle came out second best in a clash with, a bull near here and the machine's driver got decidedly the worst of the encounter.
