N ORTHEAST O REGON H ISTORY
Spring forward? For a brief time, La Grande was the
only Oregon city to recognize daylight savings
❴❵ ❜❞❢❣ ❤✐❥❧♠
♥♣q rs✉q①②q①
The switch to daylight saving
time on Sunday, which moved
clocks ahead an hour, undoubt-
edly has left many people in
La Grande and throughout the
state feeling a bit tired and stressed.
Imagine, however, how much
worse La Grande residents felt in
late May almost 89 years ago —
when La Grande became the only
city in the state to be on daylight
saving time.
The stage for this curious chap-
ter was set on May 15, 1930, when
the La Grande City Council voted
to put the city on daylight saving
time beginning May 19. All clocks
in the city that day were to be
moved up one hour at 6 a.m. Al-
though no Oregon cities observed
daylight saving time, many in the
East and Midwest had adopted
making the change.
The La Grande council, then
known as the city commission,
approved the time change after
receiving a petition from the local
chamber of commerce requesting
the switch, according to the May
16, 1930, Observer. The members
of the chamber apparently be-
lieved that more daylight in the
late afternoon and early evening
would be good for business.
The ordinance passed by the city
commission called for La Grande
to remain on daylight saving time
through Sept. 7, 1930.
Articles in The Observer prior
to the start of the time change in-
dicated many did not anticipate
major problems.
An article in the May 16, 1930,
Observer noted soon people will
be able to “quit work at the same
time but instead have three and
a half hours of daylight at their
disposal.”
Another story in the same edi-
tion stated: “To the average per-
son living inside the La Grande
city limits there will be little confu-
sion, other than adjusting himself
to train and bus schedules, radio
programs, etc., which must oper-
③④⑤ ⑥⑦ ⑧③⑨⑩❶⑨ ❷④③⑦❸③❹❸ ❺⑩❻⑤❼❽
Unfortunately this feeling of op-
timism proved to be unwarranted.
“As it enters the third day in La
Grande, daylight saving time has
grown rather than decreased in
confusion according to general
reports in the city,” a story in the
May 21, 1930, Observer reported.
A big reason people were per-
plexed was that many city resi-
dents and businesses remained on
standard time while others were
observing daylight saving time.
“There is a ton of confusion,” a
May 21 Observer editorial stated.
❾❿③➀➁ ④➂⑤ ④⑥➃⑦ ⑩➄ ⑥⑦➅ ➂③➀➁ ⑩➄ ⑥➆❼ ❺➂⑤
month is May, the day is Wednes-
day, but the hour is your own.”
People working for the railroad
and businesses involved in intercity
travel remained on standard time
as a matter of economic necessity.
❺➂⑩➄ ③➆⑤⑨④⑤❸ ❻③⑦➇ ➁③❻⑩➀⑩⑤➄ ➈⑤⑨③➉➄⑤
a large percentage of La Grande resi-
dents worked for the railroad.
Many children went to school
on daylight saving time but their
parents operated on standard
time because of their jobs. This
was just one of many confusing
scenarios, according to May 1930
editions of The Observer.
Such scenarios made people
angry.
“Most opponents want to shove
the daylight plan’s foot into the
grave with as much force as pos-
sible,” The Observer reported.
Four days after daylight saving
④⑩❻⑤ ④⑥⑥➊ ⑤➆⑤⑨④➅ ④➂⑤ ⑨⑩④➇ ⑨⑥➉⑦⑨⑩➀
met to return La Grande to stan-
dard time.
The council’s May 23, 1930,
meeting lasted just four minutes.
The Observer’s front page head-
line the next day read: “Time
Saving Plan Killed In 4 Minutes.
Commission Meets at 7:30 p.m.
Daylight Time, Adjourns At 6:34
p.m. Standard Time.”
An editorial in the May 22, 1930,
Observer addressed the failed at-
tempt in conciliatory fashion.
“Nobody anticipated the confu-
sion or objections that resulted.
No great damage has been done
by making the trial,” the editorial
stated.
Book battle in Baker

As soon as the question is
read, four blonde heads near-
ly collide as the girls lean in to
whisper and debate until they
come up with an answer.
As they confer, the oppos-
ing team members wait in
anticipation of getting their
chance to answer.
And so it goes, back and
forth, as avid young readers
wrack their brains to remem-
ber some of the most min-
ute details of 16 books they
read for Oregon Battle of the
Books.
Saturday brought 23
teams to Baker High School
for the regional competition
of OBOB’s District 6, which
encompasses the Northeast
corner of Oregon stretching
as far west as Arlington.
Battle of the Books is divid-
ed into three age groups: ele-
mentary (grades 3-5); middle
school (grades 6-8); and high
school (grades 9-12).
Books are selected each
year based on community
❹⑤⑨⑥❻❻⑤⑦❸③④⑩⑥⑦➄ ③⑦❸ ❶⑦③➀
approval by a state commit-
tee. The high school list in-
cludes 12 titles; elementary
and middle school divisions
have 16 books.
Students spend the good
part of year reading the
books. Once the school year
starts, most divide into teams
and attend practices to an-
swer questions that test their
memories.
Saturday morning, just
minutes before their battle
started, the team from Wil-
lowcreek Elementary (grades
1-8) furiously paged through
books for last-minute cram-
ming.
“This is our third year,”
said Lainey Cummings, an
eighth-grader.
At Willowcreek, students
interested in OBOB try out
for the team through mock
battles. Once determined,
team members study at
lunch, after school, on Fri-
days (they have a four-day
school week), and quiz each
other on sports trips.
“They read, they come up

with their own questions.
They’re a self-motivated
team,” said Jamie Dotson,
whose daughter, Jessica,
is an eighth-grader on the
team.
For competition, teams
cannot be larger than four.
But teams can be smaller.
Cadi Corn, a sixth-grader
from Nyssa, was a team of
one.
“There were other kids
who signed up, but they
didn’t read the books,” Corn
said.
Most teams wore match-
ing shirts, and quite a few
featured clever sayings. The
back of Corn’s shirt read “The
only thing you absolutely
have to know in life is the lo-
cation of the library.”
The team from Herm-
iston’s Sandstone Middle
School sported the saying
“Never underestimate the
power of a girl with a book.”
Several teams arrived in
Baker City on Friday due to
the 8 a.m. registration for
middle school teams.

Saturday’s competition were:
