As predicted people came from far and near to enjoy themselves In La Grande yesterday, and thirty dii enjoy themselves. They listened to one of the leading men of the nation, Gov. Hanly, and all agreed that in the city's hiBtory thert never had been such a prominent character here on July 4th. Tinere were three bands of music to make the day pleasant; therl were various kinds of amusements, includ ing races, contests and burlesque vents. Ball games for those- who en Joyed them, two dances for ihe young, rest tents, open lawns and a spirit of Arcade THEATRE Hospitality that caused many out-of-town people to notice and brought forth many complimentary remarks. Was everyone satisfied? No. La Grande finds that no matter what she does It can be depended upon that some of the home people will always be disgruntled. Usually they belong to the class that never attend a public meeting, and refuse to work on com mittees, choosing to let "George do it," and then complain. Fortunately, however, the percent age is very small while the other side" ly a certain number may be, there will be none which will give more satis faction to the loyal American than the Continental congress of last evening. DUST THE WORKMAN'S FOE Science with her wizard appliances has done marvelous things for man kind in the matter of protection against disease. ' She has searched out the cause of the scourges that formerly played havoc with the human race. Smallpox, diphtheria, cholera of the question always has a tremen-,and P001 Ter have been hunted dous number ready to work and do nate that those; who come may have as good a time as is possible. And that is just what happened yesterday. La Grande gave the people a good Fourth of July celebration. Those from a distance say so, and It is they this city was trying to please.

Repetition of the Continental con gress last evening at the Chautauqua grounds was worth while, and it may be worth while-, to have it repeated an nually for the lesson it teaches. Doubtless many grown people older heads had never until last night heard or read tht speeches of the old patriot? It was refreshing to hear , the patriotic utterances, instructive to note the good English that was used even in those early days, and patriotic in the extreme, causing a tingle of , patriotism to pass oMer the entire aud- ' ience. Then, too, there were the prophes ies of what would happen in the fu- ' ture of wealth's predomination, of trusts and combines and financial troubles.' Therl' was also exhibited in those speeches a telling fact of human instinct and nature, of selfishness of man, of the lack of loyalty when indi vidual gain is anticipated. Not a sent. nee uttered in thpi entire program was without intense and sin cere meaning and the whole commun ity, especially every child of school age. should- have hinard it. With this kind of a start the Chau- ' tauqua assembly has already proven what may be expected of the remalnd- ' er of the program. There is not a num- :ber advertised which will not be of benefit to all to htar. But no matter j what Is displayed, no matter how cost- An average man breathes about 21 cub"? fet of air per hour.

The workman who earns his livelihood in shop, factory or mine, has his prc- TinrHnn nf Tlloton pnnrmnntlv tnorana. ed, owing to the nature of his work; unfortunately, also, the character of this particles is too often changed from the inocuoua kind to thie death dealing splinters due to certain occu pations. An artisan working with keen-edged tools must exercise extreme! care i.n order to prevent harm to himself. If he is surrounded by circular saws revolving at lightning speed, or with vats of corrosive acids, or furnices of molten steel, these perils are at least In open vitew, and may be guarded guarded against. It is different, how ever, with the dangers lurking in dust. They are Invisible, but none-the less deadly. In a steel-grinding factory, tWeair is charged with flying. Jagged splinters of steel, infinitely sharper and dangerous than the razor-edged tools to which he is accustomed.
