And sev eral folk were heard to address him as "Governor." He answer ed to them all. Even to those who called him "Walt." Grass had never been better in the--ountry surrounding La Grande than It has been this year, according Uo Mr. Pierce. Sheep went out and were filled up in half an hour; he said. Wheat was n't looking so good, he indicated. Sort of weedy, he said. Frank Carper of Promts Grange 601 in Wallowa county had the record with the creden-. tlals committee of having come the farthest early Monday "ter' noon. Carper arrived in the morning. Mr. and 'Mrs.- William A. Wiley from Arrock 755, Mal heur county were expected to reg ister late Monday afternoon or early Tuesday morning. To reach here the WUeys will have come COS miles.

Ballot Title Argument Will Be Heard Here Today By Supreme Court Sharply divergent opinions re specting the merits of the propos ed initiative measure to consoli date the university and state eol lege were heard by the members of the state grange committee ap pointed to study the pending bill and report at the meeting at Sil verton this week. Leading the fight on behalf of the measure was Hector MacPher son of Albany, member of the leg islature, and said, to be one of the authors of the Bill. W. M. Tug- man, managing editor of the Eu gene Register-Guard, spoke at length against the measure. The committee is composed of Mrs. Cornelia Marvin Pierce of La Grande, Loyal M. Graham of For est Grove, and Ray Gill of Port land. Hearing was held in the state capitol Monday morning. Besides the merger question the committee is to report on the present millage appropriation for higher education, and a method of support for the schools. Economy Argument Cited by MacPherson The argument advanced by Mac Pherson was that the change would greatly improve education in Oregon and would work great economy to the taxpayers. One single Institution with one cam pus and one overhead administra tion and one- set of buildings would permit of great operating economies which he estimated would exceed a million dollars a year. MacPherson's sharpest points were made against the present di vided " system. "I doubt very much," he said, "whether there Is a man on either the Eugene or Corvallia campus who would rate as a first-class educator." Refer ring to J. A. Churchill who has been named to head the elemen tary teachers' training work of the three normal schools, Mac Pherson was . highly uncompli mentary, expressing doubt that he bad "ever done an honest day's work in his life". The normal schools were im properly .located, he claimed, and were turning out far more teach ers than there were posltioas. Un der the bill the three normal schools are abolished and a teach ers' college established in Eugene, the schools at Ashland and La (Turn to page 1, col. 1) Figures in Lindbergh Kidnaping A Clue That Quickly Turned Sour - i -.

As planned, the day will be Saturday, June 25. The parade will be held at 11 o'clock in the morning and prizes will be awarded in the afternoon. Secretary X R. Schoettler said the builders' section of the parade will include around 35 floats. The Salem products displays, and three bands will complete the parade.

The general attitude was that action is needed both to obtain a city-owned water supply and to provide aid for persons whom employment conditions have placed in need. "Ton have practically carried out the views we ve held ever since this came up," commented Mayor P. M. Gregory, leader in the movement for municipal mountain water. "The new thing that has eome up is the move of the government toward cheaper money. Qneetions Delay in Cbecklng Surveys The mayor, however, Questions "the loss of time about the source of supply." The present engin eer's survey for the mountain water system, he feels, is accur ate and thorough enough to make further surveys unnecessary. City Attorney William H. Trln- dle, who has been fighting the city's water bond battles in the courts for the past two years, de clared that The Statesman "is proceeding along right lines." Because the municipal water Issue is still in the courts, Wil liam Gahlsdorf, water commis sioner, felt he should not go into detail on the matter. The water commission, it is understood, is delaying plans until the legality of the water bonds is determined. "I'm anxious to get started right away," said Gahlsdorf.
