' Today workmen are busily engaged In tearing , down the . pavilion and temporary buildings at . the fair grounds after the close of what Is without doubt the greatest exposition ever held la Oregon outside of the state fair. There was nothing but suc cess to the whole event and the strongest praise was heard from home folk, neighbors, strangers and trav eling men who visited the fair. Only one thin; could be added to the splendor and that Is a speed ring. If this magnificent show should find It were twirrIWa tn havA rop alonr with such an exposition It would mean a fair equal In Importance to the state fair, for It has long been known that some place In Eastern Oregon there was room for a fair along the same . lines as that at Salem to accommodate the people who live east of the Cas cades. La Grande has made the start . She has blazed the trail and has suc ceeded. While other counties have tried .. hard end almost failed at having an nual fJrs, this county has by the work of home people and plenty of , work at that come forth with an en tertainment of excellence that puts the name of this city and county in the mouths of the entire northwest . people. . ' ; , To our mind it Is the firm founda tion for the Eastern Oregon fair and exposition of the future which will be attended from every county. TSIOX COUXTY GETS FROXT PAGE Yesterday Dr. Charlton in company with D. J. Stewart, circulation manag er of the Rural Spirit, called on the Observer and Mr. Stewart assured us that he was going to say something nice about , the fair Just closed and Union county. He safd further more that the front page of the Rural Spirit would carry a halftone cut In its next Issue of the pavilion and displays as made by La Grande merchants and farmers. Loud in his praise for the work being done here in a community way the Spirit man. had no hesitancy in stating that only one fair in the state surpassed that of Union county, and that was the state fair at Salem. Even that he said was only larger and no better In quality. Such remarks as this from a man whose business it 1b to attend fairs all over the northwest means a great deal. It means that the efforts put forth to have this fair are bearing fruit. It means that the Rural Spirit in Its next Issue will do some splendid advertising for Union county, all of GEORGE PALMER, Pres. F. J. OOLMES, Tlce-Pres. F. L. MEYERS, Cashier.

BUT IT AWOKE COL. ECKLEY. Politics some times will arouse the man when nothing else will. Evi dently this is the case with our re spected old friend. Col. Eckley. He could see nothing pleasant in the en thusiastic climax at the fair last night when the multitude shouted for Bowerman; the music of the band as it played the Bowerman song had no charms for the Colonel; all acts seem ed boyish and silly to the old time edi tor and democratic wheel horse, but nevertheless he was aroused. So much go that he wrote a very catchy little paragraph for his morning paper de scribing his inward feelings on the matter. But Col. Eckley will think better of the meeting after he has pondered ov er It. and there is no absolute cer tainty that he too will not Join great army of voters in Oregon who are supporting Jay Bowerman, the lad from Condon who has never failed to make good and who is going to be named for the governorship. ULULUIIIII LU CRAVE OF TWEXTY TEARS FOCJiD TO HATE BEEN MOLESTED. City's Expansion has Removed Last Vestige of Infant's Remains. Yesterday a man who twenty years ago burled his baby boy in the old cemetery went to remove the remains to a better location. He went to the Masonic grounds and dug the grave and then returned to open the old one. Careful search revealed the fact that by mistake some one had been there ahead of him and had taken up the precious dust and ashes, removing them he will never know where. There are yet many graves unmo lested out there and those which can yet be Identified should be cared for by proper removal. 1 ". Drunkenness Curable.

GIVE BATSMEN THREE BASES, 8lbbitts Then Would Ba Compslled to Use More Discretion Boxmen, as a Rule, Do Not Intentionally Hit Man at Plate. Many close students of baseball are of the opinion that the penalty Impos ed on pitchers for hitting batsmen is altogether too light. It is suggested that the batter who Is hit by a pitcher should be allowed to take more than one base. Some suggest that if a fine or suspension was Imposed on a pitch er every time he hit a batter there would probably be a decided decrease In the "hit by pitcher" part of the tabulated scores. , It Is argued there Is no satisfaction In awarding first base when a team may lose the services for weeks of one of its best players. If the , man hit were allowed to take second or third base Instead of first there would be fewer wild lnshoots and fewer men struck. Pitchers then would be com pelled to use a little more discretion and so many balls would not shoot by within a sixteenth of an Inch of a player's head. If the pitcher found that by hitting a man he gave that player third base and stood In jeop ardy of giving the opposing team a score he would soon change his tac tics. Some may argue that certain play ers would walk Into the ball and take a chance of getting hit If third base were the penalty, but the umpire usu ally can decide this point. No man is going to walk into a swiftly thrown ball If he enn help himself, and thosa who tried to bump Into a floater would not De able to get their point Pitchers, as a rule, do not Intention ally try to hit or crlnnle a bntsmnn although there have been cases where strong suspicion was raised by a twlrl er'a "wild" heaves. - A case In point arose during the first game of a dou ble header played in New York last Jnne between the Highlanders and the Athletics. Russell Ford was pitching ior .ew loric and Cy Morgan for the Quakers. Twice Morgan pitched the ball dlrectlyat Ford's head. The sec ond effort grazed the peak of Ford cap. He was allowed to take first Dase, but be was so comnletoiv nn nerved that the Athletics knocked him out or the box In the next lnnlncr It was said at th Mm. awful howl Connie Mack set up last ran wnen Xy Cobb spiked Jack Barry, that the manacer of the Athiot. wna somewhat inconsistent in allowing such tactics.

Danny Hoffman was winged by Jesse Tenne hlll, almost killed, and hrs never since been able to face with any confidence a left hand pitcher. Birdie Creo of the New York Americans was put on the Injured list for a long time through the same cause. Walter Johnson, the BDeed merchant of the Washington club, has a record for this seeming wlldness that some times looks Intentional, ne put narry Lord, the Boston captain, ont of busi ness for awhile. Big leasrue Ditchers admit that they use a "bean" on dangerous batsmen In order to drive them away from the plate. Fans . can see for themselves that often when the pitcher Is In a hole and a good batter up the twirler wiji send the ball as close to the batsman as Is possible to deliver It. His Inten tion is to shake the confidence of the hitter and make him back away, ne figures that the next coudIs of hulls he can curve over and get the batsman In a bole. Sometimes the first ball comes too fast for the batsman to" get out of the way and he Is laid out. Uhlan, 1:58, Well Bred. BIngen and Blonde, the sire and dam of TJhlan, are owned at Ardmaer farm.
