FOR THE CJIAMI'IOXSHIIV For the next few , days Pitt burg and Detroit will alternate as the center ol' the American universe. As every one knows the occasion is to determine the supremacy of the one city or the other In supporting the most expert aggregation, of ball players on earth. With each it is a contest In which earnest civic pride "la involved.' With the country at large Interest Is hardly less Intense for victory and defeat as these may . be worked out, are really matters of National moment In the sense that the major body of the American poop-' le entertain a distinct and commen dable pride in the lusty young men who will give the greatest exhibltlou of tho greatest game ever played In this or any other land. The event Is American from the ground up. This post-seasou series Is the great, big, wholesome, popular sport ing event of the year. It la an event that commands the Interested attent ion of all classes. There Is scarcely any real, live American who escapes the enthusiasm of it. Consider the special trains which have been and-wlll be run to the game in the two cities; from New York Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Toledo and . , scores of other , smaller towns in r that Bectlon of the country. Consi der the concessions which the rail roads make to the fans, for instance, a fare of $5 for round trip of SIS miles less than 8 mills a mile. Con slder the Interest In every section of the country .with which the news of .the first game was received and devoured. Get grip on all of these facts, and If you can say that base . -ball Is not the greatest game ever ' Invented, you're a putile, In the ave rage American conception, and that is the end of It. Exchange. 0W FOR A CHAUTAUQUA. It goes without saying that the suc- cess of the Union county exposition makes it a permanent feature to be looked forward to annually for years ; to come.' Another opportunity lies at the door of I a Grande that will draw crowds from many miles equally as large if not larger, as the county fair, and that Is a chautauqua. This Inland Empire Is developing rapidly and this large and Inviting field will not . re- ' main unoccupied much longer. Now Is the time for La Grande to move and secure It This season the city of Ash- - Jand, la Southern Oregon, not so large The business men .of the city ; u.l.ul6a ui tuttir op portunities as they should, simply be cause they have not investigated. It took the business men of La Grande over two years to see the ad vantages of holding a fair in the city without races; finally the idea took root and they made a grand success of it and so they can of a chautauqua. The two will not conflict in the least and the more large, first class attrac tions that any city offers the greater will become its commercial phere. According to a report compiled by Acting Secretary of State Frank Loy ell, that office has done an enormous business for the state during the year of 1909, compared with that of 1908. After deducting the Insurance fees which were paid to the Insurance com missloner Blnce March 1, the fees paid Into the state treasury from October 1 1908 to September 1, 1909 amounted to $63,334.58, compared with $03,052.06 from' October 1,1907 to September 3, 1908. The number of automobile cer tificates that were Issued for the first nine months of 1909 amounted to 1064 compared to the first nine months in 1908, which numbered 643. The ad vance of business In the secretary of state's office means that the develop ment going on throughout the state are rapidly gaining headway, as this office Is the most important and the busiest place in the capitol building. Poultrymen have launched a move ment that is past due. There Is a for tune and luxury for many in the poul try business in this valley as many will attest though the number of wit nesses are not as great as might be the case. Following the organization here next week, the hen and hen pro ducts will be elevated as a community enterprise, the same as has the dairy and the hog industry has been of late years. . The west is generally as much in terested in the world's baseball series as are the easteners. The Observer's prompt account of each day's game is highly appreciated by baseball read ers. Two days rest and then we can make the harvest festival a rousing success. This is the kind of weather that puts the color in the apples. - - LOST Jersy milk cow, one horn broken off.
