Sun makes the following comparison: "In the battle of Manilla Bay Ad miral Dewey's fleet was under Are for seven hours and only six men were wounded and none killed. In the great battle of Santiago the American loaa The La Grande Commercial Club which has been a factor in the up building of, this city and county has passed another milestone in its his tory. Every business man and prop erty owner in the city and vicinity was one man killed and about, a dozen should become a member of this wide wounded. Football would, therefore, seem more dangerous to the life and limbs of young Americana than actual warefare." - FOOT BALL RULES. On the latter part of this month the committee that fixes the rules for foot ball will decide what they will be for 1910. No little interest is being taken In this decision both east and weBt If the present rules are sustained not a few colleges will disband their foot ball teams. Two things must be done or football will always be under the ban of the parent who furnished the boys for the sport. One Is that plays which furnishes opportunity for in jury muHt be eliminated. The other is the fact that the young men are mem bers of the football team means that he stands Just a little bit higher in his studies than others in the school. He should, for the very reason that he is physically stronger,"' quicker than the others, or he would not be accep- . table to the team managers. The press everywhere 1b demanding that the rules for 1909 be changed. The Baltimore Sun editorially has the following: "Thirty deaths, 216 players Injured, IS broken collar bones, 8 broken noses 1) broken legs, 19 broken ribs, 13 uivavu ouuuiucia, o uiunvu n i lib, o broken fingers, 6 broken hands and S broken Jaws. The opportunity is now. We have apparently laid the foundation. Pub lic sentiment is seemingly concentrat ed and now Is the time to act to se cure the Chautauqua. If we do not it is very doubtful if we have another opportunity for the reason that there is not room at the present time for more than one Chautauqua In Eastern Oregon. La Grande is naturally the place, being a central point to the res idents of Umatilla, Wallowa and Ba ker counties. Yesterday a represen tative whose buslnes it is to place the attractions for other chautaaquas ou the Pacific coast visited La Grande, coining direct from San Francisco, where the secretaries of the , coast chautauquas meet and sign their con tracts for the coming year. There are so few such organizations in this state that those Interested knowing that La Grande had been talking Chautauqua for some time and through correspond ence were offering ub every - encour agement for the reason that a chain of chautauquas can command better and higher talent, La Grande was of fered these attractions and the com mercial Club took the matter in hand and was given until January 10th to officially Bign the contract During this time an opportunity will be offered the people of this city and county to con tract for tickets and if sufficient Inter est Is taken, or in other words if enough tickets can be placed to war rant the club In backing the enter prise La Grande will have a Chau tauqua. Once started It will a per man ent institution here as in other places. Those Interested should commence talking Chautauqua and never stop until it Is an assured fact. If we let this opportunity slip La Grande will discover too late that her people will be taking the trains for some other point during July of each year. President Collier's re-election as awake organization. president of the Commercial Club was a deserved compliment to his untiring i efforts during the past year. La This is not the list of casualties of Grande la fortunate in having a man a battle, remarks the Washington Star , of Mr. Collier's ability take such per- but merely the "score of an athletic sonal interest in public affairs. Bak-y game,"' which is supposed to Te "a ed by such men ascorapose the board stlmuluous to manhood, a developer I of directors it is no wonder that sue of youthful brawn and a builder of character." A table prepared by the Chicago. Tribune and revlaed to Include later casualties shows 30 deaths from foot ball during the season just ended and C9 Berious Injuries, while in 1907 there were 14 deaths and 131 Injuries and 10 1908 13 deaths and 134 Injuries. The Urge proportion of fatal in juries and (he death of Cartot Byrne In So prominent a match as that be tween Harvard and West Point lend unusual vigor to the customary post season editorials on football. After calllnc retention to the long list of those killed and maimed on JJio gridiron this soason the Baltimore Spokane seems to have handled her Oratorical content In n nrfaiafril tuav ' inasmuch as "silence is considered golden" by not a few, at any rate the ar.'ests have matriaily decreased.
