son's Jurisdiction comprises Wasco and
Hood River counties.
Fred W. Wilson is a scion of an
honored pioneer family. He was born
at College Hill, Iowa, September 10,
isid, while his father was at Wash
ington representing his district as
United States senator from Oregon. A
short time after he reached Washing

son was brought back to Oregon by his
mother.

He has practiced continuously here

in 1908 and held the office four .ars.
Case Attracted Attention
At tnat time the district comprised
Wasco, Hood River and Crook counties.
His name was prominently mentioned
throughout the state through his pros
ecution of the Norman Williams mur
der case, which at that time excited a
great deal of interest, inasmuch as the
bodies of the mother and daughter

ment is -considering- . the , arrest and

La Grande, Or., June 30. All is in
readiness for La Grande's annual Fourth
of July "Speed 'Em Up" program of
motorcycle raqes, and there is more
than usual Interest in the events this
year because automobile races have
been added to the events, and for all
numbers substantial prizes have beep
hung up.
The management is certain that auto
mobiles can easily take the turns of the
mile and a half track, especially as the
straightaway has been shortened and
the curves are the regulation two mile
turns. 'The dust Thich was such a
handicap to riders and spectators las
year will be eliminated this year by
th use of oil.
Another item which shows that the
'Speed 'Em Up" has come to stay is
the raising of the purse from $1000
to $1500. ' Last year but one motorcycle
race in the United States had a larger
puree than La Grande's $1000. This
year the purse will be divided fifty
fifty between the motorcycles and automobile.
The long marathons of the past have
been abandoned as they proved to be
tedious affairs and tiresome to the
spectators, and 35 and 50 mile events
will be a feature this year.
