Sentiment Is Growing for
1925 Project.
BOOSTERS GET WELCOME
Citizens Openly Favor State Par
ticipation, Tliongli Against
General Tax.
LA GRANDE, Or., Sept. 20. (Spe
cial.) Sentiment for the 1925 ex
position is growing in eastern Ore
gon, in the opinion of Mayor George;
L. Baker and other leaders of tha
caravan, based on the official re
sponse they have met with in the
towns listed and on personal ex
pressions from a large number of
citizens at various Doints.
"It is my sober judgment," said
Mayor Baker today, "that there has
been a great improvement in the
outlook for the fair project since
our first caravan tour was taken
This I believe to be due to the fact
that through our efforts and
through the publicity given them
by the newspapers people are com
ing to understand us and to under
stand our plans. Such an under
standing was what we needed and
all that was needed. People are for
us when they know what we are
proposing. There is little sentiment
that would support a general state
tax for exposition purposes, but we
have sold and still are selling the
exposition idea and the people
like it."
State "Participation Aim.
At Baker last night Mayor Baker
told the audience, which completely
filled the Baker theater, among
other things, state participation in
the fair was one of the things to be
aimed at ultimately.
"It is our intention," said the
mayor, "after the proposed amend
ment has carried and after Port
land has voted to tax itself for the
funds to give the fair, to invite the
participation of adjoining states.
We shall invite neighboring and
perhaps other states to participate.
AVe hope that Washington, and
California, and Idaho, and Montana
will put up state buildings and make
adequate exhibits and naturally we
hope that Oregon also will partici
pate in similar fashion.
"This will be brought about. If
at all, through action of the legis
lature, which we hope will vote to
participate. We also hope the leg
islature in thic course will have
your support, and the support of
the whole people of the state."
Mayor's AVords Approved.
Mayor Baker's words were re
ceived in Baker with plainly appar
ent approval. At other points along
the route people approached have
openly favored state participation,
while generally frankly stating
their belief that there should be no
general state tax for the exposition.
L.ong before 6 o'clock this morn
ing the caravaners were awakened,
some, as Bill Stranborg said, see
ing the sunrise for the first time,
and following hasty breakfast en
tered automobiles already waiting
which had been provided by Joseph
and ; Enterprise citizens, and were
driven seven miles to the head of
Lake Wallowa.
It was. unnecessary for the com
mittee comprised of H. M. Swart
wood of Joseph and chairman, A. W.
Schaupp and H. S. Gibson to make
any remarks about this body of
water rivaling those of the Cana
dian Rockies and Switzerland. Elks
belonging to various lodges and re
siding in the Wallowa valley are
erecting a fine log clubhouse which
subsides into the surrounding en
vironment, with fitting grace.
Meeting Held In Open.
A concrete dam built for the
small cost of $30,000 raises the
water of the lake eight feet In the
spring and feeds ditches which ir
rigate 35,000 acres of land. The
project was arranged and financed
by farmers without outside aid.
Near this dam is the grave of Chief
Joseph, famous leader of the Nez
I'erce tribe, after whom the town
is named.
After viewing the lake the party
was driven back to Joseph, where
the meeting was held in the open in
an unshaded lot and attended by the
citizens of Joseph and. as at all the
. places visited, the school children.
Rev. Dr. Charles MeCaughey, 20
years before known as the "buck
skin preacher of Joseph," and Mayor
Baker delivered addresses. Walter
Jenkins and the telephone quartet,
Mark Daniels, Hal Young, Denton
Denman and Ferris Abbett and Jack
Henderson, gave a musical pro
gramme. Enterprise Presents Grouse.
Entering the same automobiles at
the close the party was driven to
Enterprise, where it was announced
that the dining car had been pre
sented with grouse enough for all
the caravan by the citizens of the
two towns. Here the committee In
charge of the reception included
C. H. Zurcher, chairman; E. Jor
dan, Roy McClelland and- Ben
Wothers. and the programme in
cluded speeches by Otto Hartwig,
Dr. MeCaughey and Mayor Baker,
J. E. Jaeger introduced the speak
ers. The same musical programme
was rendered.
Next followed a brief stop at Los
tine, where Mayor W. P. Robinson
and the school children met the
train. Mayor Baker delivered an
address. A little later the train
pulled into Wallowa and the car
avaners were met by a reception
committee including A. E. Tulley,
chairman, Brace Cox and C. A. Mc
Claren, and were escorted In auto
mobiles a few blocks to the Masonic
hall, where with the usual musical
programme the audience was ad
dressed by Mayor Baker, J. E.
Jaeger and Otto Hartwig, A. A. Aya
presiding.
Reaching Elgin at 3 o'clock the
train was met by C. I. Hazen, presi
dent of tha Elgin Ad club, and E.
J. Bailey, school superintendent,
proceeding to the opera house,
where Mr. Bailey presented Alfred
A. Aya, chairman of the meeting.
Mr. Aya introduced A. M. Wright,
vice-president of the United States
National bank, Dr. MeCaughey and
Mayor Baker, -who delivered to the
people of the Grande Ronde valley
the message of the boosters for the
1925 fair. The usual musical pro
gramme was rendered with the as
sistance of a large delegation from
the public schools. j
Caravan Notes.
Charles Piper, "still" photographer
for Sandy, got familiar with a pet
bear at Wallowa lake and as a
result loBt some epidermis off of one
arm. The chief casualty, however,
was to a sleeve of his coat, which
emerged a total wreck.
On the Joseph reception commit
tee were Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gaulke,
jraiir Portland residents. Alr.
Gaulke is a leading banker of Jo
spnh. .
Rev. Charles MeCaughey. Portland
nasfor. has won the reputation
among the caravan speakers of
being the champion funny story
teller of the crowd. He opens every
speech with an anecdote which gets
his hearers laughing before he
Rnrlne-si thi mora serious message.
A. M. Wright, vice-president of
the United States National banK,
made his debut as a caravan speaker
at Elgin, where he made an ef
fective address.
Judge Walter Evans of Portland
was upstairs holding court in the
stone courthouse at Enterprise,
while the caravan was "doing Its
stuff" on the front steps outside.
Judge Evans will be at Enterprise
for some days yet.
They hauled Mayor Baker up
town in a service truck at Wallowa.
Another passenger in the machine
was a live sheep, but the mayor and
the sheep rode in perfect harmony
and seeming mutual understanding.
At LaGrande tonight the citizens
turned out with a brass band to
welcome the caravan. A street pa
rade was formed and marched to the
tabernacle, where an enthusiastic
meeting was held. Joe Dunne of
Portland presided and addresses
were made by Mayor Baker, H. L.
Hudson and others.
Tomorrow the caravan moves on
to Pendleton.
KNIFE USER CONFESSES
CHARLES AKXOLD STABBED
BY J. E. fl"EATHERLEV.
Wounded Man Said to Have Been
Aggressor In Fight at
Labor Temple.
Charles Arnold, who is lying at
the Good Samaritan hospital in a
precarious condition from wounds
received last Saturday which he in
sisted were caused by flying glass
in an automobile accident, was
stabbed by J. E. Weatherley, sheet
metal worker, announced fetanley
Myers, district attorney, yesterday.
.A complete and voluntary confes
sion, in which Weatherley contended
that he acted in self-defense, was
given to the district attorney Mon
day, but no Information was re
leased concerning it until yesterday.
Mr. Myers declarea that he was
convinced that Weatherley's story
was true, as it was corroborated to
some extent by Otto J. Hartwig
and E. J. Stack, union labor offi
cials, and that he would not be
arrested unless Arnold preferred
charges or died.
The affair took place in the cor
ridors of the Labor temple last
Saturday and the cuts were inflicted
by, a jackknife owned by Weather
ley. "Weatherley is married and has
seven children. A small man, 42
years old, Weatherley was attacked
by, Arnold, a large man of about 30
years, according to the story told
the district attorney.
Arnold had been drinking, it was
claimed, and concluded a wordy
argument by calling Weatherley a
blankety-blank liar. In the ensuing
fight Arnold had much the better
of the first two rounds, knocking
Weitherley down, kicking him in
the face and stepping on his stom
ach, it was asserted. Finally Arnold
asked Weatherley if he had had
enough . Weatherley conceded he
had and sot uo. brushed off his
clotjies and started to restore his
outward appearance.
Itij was then, without warning,
tha. Arnold is accused of attack
ing. Weatherley the second time.
Again, asked if he had enough,
Weatherley replied that he had and
got 'up to repair what damage he
could. It was only after Arnold
assaulted him a third time that
Weatherley drew a jack-knife and
stabbed his assailant, he told the
district attorney.
