capacity of the Tournament of

Cliff Farmer, who has arranged
the itinerary for several of the

and has made arrangements for
the band to travel on a special
Union Pacific train. Victor McLag-

members of the band will join the
unit in Portland.
In order to raise a portion of the

concerts en route north. It will
make its first appearance at Las
Vegas, Nev. In Salt Lake City,
where the group will arrive June 5,
the band will take part in a parade,
and present a concert. They will
also give concerts in Pocatello,
Idaho, and Baker, Ore., where they
plan to be June 6 and 7. After
