BUSINESS TO KEEP UP.
Chicago, Juno 16th Aa near aa we
an gala by tome interviewa with a
few of the men who represent large
business enterprises thla la to be ou
presidential year when politics will
lntfa hn Utile with business.
It Is argued tliat In the past people
r-.ave stopped during a piesidentUu
campaign until they saw results, but
the country ia forging forward at such
a rapid rate this year that no pre
election dullness ft,'.! prevail.
However, It is openly admitted if
there should such a thl'ig happen a
the election of :t democratic president
then there Is bjum; to fj'low a period
of anxiety until the new administra
tion would point out the course It In
t.rd to travel.
But there Is lirtie thought at pres
ent about the possibility of a demo
ciatlc president The republican fight
tt the all-absorbing topic with gen
eral admission that Roosevelt or a
new man will be named, either of
whom can win in November.
Never again .mention fit wind of
the Grande Ron la villey Ferlsh the
Idea that we have lnd in La Grande.
Chicago Is the rei! windy c.ly and no
mistake. Ever me takes off eye glas
ses when going o, the streeU for fear
they will be blown off. It It claimed
that automobiles carrying wind shields
trrn a third mo - gnsollne to resist
the wind.

The hotel bnli'Kng art continues
Where once the Pdliner house and the
Groat Northern were considered first
rate now such exclusive hotels as the
Blackstone have made the older struo
i ure hotels of the common people
while the predatory rich who can af
ford to pay ten dollars a day for a
room occupy the new one.
In the Blackstone nothing has been
omitted. No king's palace ever had
more care and every servant Is In
Blackstone livery.
The finery, richly attired guests, the
splendid music, popping of the cham
pagne corks all serve to make a mod
est westerners If it is not true that
there Is building up in this country an
aristocracy composed of humanity who
have little or no feeling for the hon
eat man who tolls with his hands,
who goee borne In the evening to his
wife and babies after a hard day's
work and thinks how he will make hsl
wages cover the next installment on
his little cottage.
The "gold purse" entrance to the
Blackstone is gorgeously set with the
most expensive furniture ana aecora
tlnn Quite often It U filled with
women In low-neekea gowns womou
.h pnon.l more havini their finger
nails manicured than most La Grande
ladies spend for clothes.
They are wives of the rich. They
have nothing to do. The world to
them la a play ground and what won
ders overtake them are caused by
some other woman's new diamonds or
new gown. Few of this class of femi
nine beauty ever heard the word
"mother" aa applied to themselves.
They live that listless, doleless life
which benefits no one. wihch adds
nothing to art. to literature or to the
world's Industry.
Dwell on this picture fr a moment
and ask yourself, why is the socialist
party growing?
i It Is tne idle ncn woo are iumis
socialists and making them very. fast.
Southern delegates are most Inter
esting. There is somtehlng sublimely
earnest about every southerner.
Whether he is right or wrong he is
still earnest. Here Is where the color
lines cease. The most prominent Geor
gia banker will plead his contest and
call on the blacket negro In the house
to verify his statements. And at home
It Is doubtful If the banker would
speak to the negro on the street.
There are many members of the na
tional committee who would rather
see a Titanic wreck of the republican
party than to see Hoosevelt nominat
ed. But, where the sincerity of these
men Is rightfully question Is that they
are ostensibly for Taft, but In reality
for a dark horse.
Oregon seema to be looked upon by
moBt Chicago people whom we have
talked to aa away out of reach. They
have heard something about apples
and Umatilla Indians, but as for rec
ognizing Oregon as a great stafe of
grand resources, we have not found
this to be true.
All of which shows that the apple
advertising has attracted rather wide
attention, as have Fred Lookley's Um-
aillla Indian storing In the Pacific
Monthly and Sunset. What Oregon
needs now Is an earnest, truthful cam
paign about her land and her hogs,
cattle and a lot of other good staple
resources such as other states have.

Ant Colonies.
An ant nest or colony arises from
eggs laid by one or more "queens."
The developing young are tended by
the sexless neuters, or "workers." The
maggots, or larval ants "re fed by
them, often nourished , -i . t of the
nurses' mouths, and are :irefnlly
watched in respect of rb- iinperainre
and other conditions of the nurseries
as are Infantile bnmnn being- When
full development occurs n.e pupae
change Into unts. .whlrli n either
winged or wingless The In tr.., nre the
"neuters." or workers. Th-v may de
velop big Jaws and appeal us uie "sol
dlers" of the colony. Those which are
winged are the founders of new colo
nies. Tbey are of both sexes, and they
produce the eggs whence tbe oew gen
eratlons will be evolved.
Doughnuts.
Light, tender doughnuts quite unlike
tbe usunl solid kind are made wltb a
cupful of sugnr. a tenspoonful of but
ter, two eggs and a cupful of milk
Mix a scaut pint of dour that bus been
sifted will! two rounding teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, inaklng a puste that
Is soft. Stand the bowl containing It
on tbe Ice until It Is very cold and then
roll It out aud fry before It loses its
shape. The Idea Is to mnke the paste
a little softer than can be rolled before
It Is stiff wltb cold and to use as little
floor as possible. Tbe doughnuts should
be turned continually while they are
frying. Baltimore American.
