Tbe Barnum and Bailey greatest
show on earth baa left '.' tbe
eastern country where It waa exhib
iting and started upon its tour of the
west and the Pacific coast Two per
formances and a street parade will be
given In La Grande, Tuesday, August
27. ;
Tbe circus this year travel upon 85
double-length cars and more real es
tate is required for the tentage than
ever before. Old ideas have been dis
carded and an entirely new circus is
promised, In ail essentials the same
performance that greater New York
applauded for live weeks during the
early spring. A magnificent spectac
entitled "Cleopatra", based npon the
story of Antony and Cleopatra, effect'
lvely answers the cry for "some
thing new." Over 1200 people take a
part hi this wordless play, Including
a ballet of 300 dancing girls trained
by Ottokar Bartik of the Metropolitan
opera house. The entire resources of
the chow In camels, horses, elephants
and other animals are utilized In this
very stupendous pantomimic play.The
wardrobe Is beautiful and historical
ly correct.
,The strictly arenlc features present
much that Is new. There is an ele
phant baseball nine for one thing. The
Mikado's royal troupe of .athletes of
wrestlers and - jlu Jltsu experts are
another novelty, while Kate and San
dwlna, tbe' female Hercules, and the
Berne brothers. Swiss strong men pre
sent unusual performances, one of the
latter engaging In a pulling matrh
with an elephant. The real sensa
tion of tbe circus Is a mere girl, May
Wlrtb, of tbe Australian Wirth fam
lly. and the most remarkable rider of
her day, If not of all time. She Is a
bare back rider end negotiates back
ward and forward somersaults with
a "grace and abandon beyond me'e
words to -describe", quoting Harper i
Weekly. In the circus zoo a baby
giraffe born last January Is an Inter
eating exhibit. . In size, girth and at
mensions this year's Barnum and Ba
lley circus excells all previous efforts
and with a program almost entirely
new' lives more generously up to its
trade-mark title of the "greatest show
on earth" than at; any time during its
long and successful career.

DEFIED THE ENTIRE WORLD.
They Held at One Time Forty Thou
sand Captives as Sieves, Among
Whom Was Cervantes The Can
non's Mouth For a French Envoy.
Those pests of tbe sea, tbe Barbary
pirates, who defied tbe civilized world
for COO years, bad at one time 40,000
Christian slaves In bondage In Algeria.
The methods by which they were ob
tained and bow treated are described
by
Sir Uenry Norman lo Scrlbner's
Magazine
Ships were seized In all European
waters, even off tbe coast of Ireland,
end their crews taken into slavery.
Bo, were tbe crews of vessels which
came to trade. When any state at
tempted punishment the consul of that
country ; wuh sent to the galleys, and
Sir Lambert I'layfalr. British consul
general and erudite author of Mur
ray's 'Handbook.' tells us that In one
Instance on the approach of a French
fleet their representative was blown
toward them from a mortar. Cer
vantes himself was a slave there In
1055.
Id the seventeenth century the
Algerlne pirates held prizes worth 20,-
000.000 franca Again and again tbe
Christian powers of that and tbe next
century failed to Inflict a lasting de
feat upon this scourge of Christen
dom." The British parliament passed
an act to "undertake the Christian
work of the redemption o the cap
tives from the cruel tbralldbm they
lay under,' but Its Intention exceeded
Its power, for not long afterward 850
English ships were captured and o.uuu
Enelisb slaves brought Into Algiers In
tbe space of seven years, and when
after five years' war between England
and tbe pirate state a peace was sign
ed the dey refused to surrender a sin
gle English slave, and the treaty bad
a clause to tbe effect that the king of
Great Britain shall not be obliged by
virtue of this treaty to redeem any or
his subjects now in slavery.' probably
tbe most degrading treaty, as Sir Lam
bert Playfalr remarks, ever signed De
tween Enirlsnd and a foreign power.
At One time W.IMU ijurmunu oia.f
were In bondage In Algeria, of all the
nation of Eurone. many of tbem mea
of rank, learning and piety and all of
them suffering dally tbe most cruei
hardships. tarvatlon and torture one
would have expected tbe Christian na
tions to Join forces for one object at
least and wipe this puny pirate ataie
off the earth, yet for 500 years Bar
bnry held tbem at bay.
"just as the old sailors chantry about
the coast of the wild Barbaree' took
its origin In the terrors of that const,
so the reunions order of tbe Fathers of
the Redemption was originally founded
to collect alms for tbe ransom of the
Algerian slaves, and many of Its mem
bers, with perhaps the noblest Cbris
Man charity on record, voluntarily
shared the lot of the captives for the
comfort they could give and the serv
ices they could render In negotiations
of ransom -'

the tree is inclined" is an old adage and a true one. It applies not only to trees
and children, but to cities as well. La Grande as a community is just emerging
fromthe condition of a village and assuming the aspect of a city. It is growing
toward the south and the Connordale Addition. Anyone doubting this statement
who will take the trouble to walk down Washington avenue and take note pf the
activity in paving, grading, opening up of streets and building operations will be
convinced of that fact. As the city increases in size, its growth will continue
along these same lines. That is a matter of past experience and common sense.
. In fact, the direction in which the city of La Grande must grow has al
ready been determined by natural conditions and surroundings. It is hemmed in
one one side by steep foot-hills; on another side by the Grande Ronde river and
hundreds of acres of natural manufacturing sites that will soon be In demand;
on the third side by the railroad tracks, shops and yards. Therefore it can only
grow to any great extent in ONE direction SOUTH TOWARD CONNOR-
DALE. The best residence and business section will grow AWAY from the
smoke, dirt and noise of switching engines, mills and shops not TOWARD them
Connordale is the only large tract in the city available for a restricted,
improved and uniformly developed residence section. The city improvements are
already in. Property h still cheap. Within a short time it will double in value.
Think this over, then go down and see for yourself or let us take you over this
property. Your own judgment will confirm the truth of these statements.
