O.) , "We're glad we went." So sayeth 150 Pendletonians as they disembarked from the La Grande special at Pendleton about midnight yesterday, after spending the day at the thrilling never to be forgotten "Speed 'Em Up" races at La Grande. Arriving at La Grande shortly be fore 10 a. m. ,the Pendleton delega tion, headed by the Round-Up band, marched to the Elks' Temple which was thrown open to the visitors for the day. This beuutiful lodge build ing Is said to be one of the finest of . its kind on the coast, After the races the "Let 'er Buck" visitors were treated to an auto ride over the city. No misfortune marred the day, al though the riders furnished thrills fi plenty when they would narrowly avert being ditched on the turns. In- ' cidentally the visitors saw in action the . world's champion motorcycle speed kings. Keeney of Springfield on an Indian, set a new world's rec ord in the 10 mile event when he motored around the dirt track in 7:31 1-5 minutes. ' Koency's average was . 78 miles per hour. It is understood the La Grande peo ple will improve their track next -year and doubtless La Grande will be the home annually of the greatest mo torcycle races west of the Mississippi. ", ' ' Short Races Favored. , (Pendleton Tribune.) La Grande was host yesterday to one of the fargest throngs ever gath ered in that city when the fourth an nual motorcycle meet called visitors , from every town in Eastern Oregon and in Washington and Idaho. Speed speed-speed was the watchword of the day yesterday and the races ended at 6 o'clock after one record had been shattered and the spectators had seen a 100-mile demonfest that was with out parallel in motorcycle annuls in the Northwest. Pendleton sent a apecial train of nearly 200 boosters which left .hero at 7 o'clock 'Sunday morning. Every one wore a yellow ribbon announcing the fact that the crowd was from the Round-Up city. This crowd made themselves known throughout the af ternoon by giving familiar Round-Up cries, La Grande kept open 5iou.se for the visitors and the hospitality was up to the standard of the Union coun ty metropolis. The Round-Up bund accompanied the local boosters' The Far Western Grand Prize 100 mile contest was the big event of the day. In summing up the grand event, it is safe to sny thut the general specta tor had more pleasure in seeing the shorter races than in witnessing the ' not mutmcv j 4u?uj&Mrd duel MxuhJymx HUSBAND AND WIFE BOTH SHOULD SAVE MONEY.

With Keenoy leading up to the last lap, Walker on a Harley Davidson, made a spurt on the home stretch that brought him into first place and brought the crowd in the grand-stand to its feet with wild, yells. No more perfect day could have been wished for thun yesterday. Many from Pendleton made the trip by machine, getting an early start, and quite a number went on to Hot Lake for dinner: returning in the af teroon for the races. Great Britain's Blacklist. (New York World.) Great Britain's blacklist of Ameri can business houses with which its subjects are forbidden to trade is a blow that will be felt more severely in f-h HnijH States than in Germany. ! Blacklisting of this kind is commer cially contagious and spreads tar he yond the persons first proscribed. If British subjects cannot trade with these Americans or British ships carry their goods, we shall hear pres- antlir nn Irmht tihftt AmpnpnnH Anrl ' . '' : I. ...J un., American snips usus invuiveu nave been deprived of their rights in Brit ish dominions and hurbors. The present blacklist applies to in dividuals pnd corporations. In 1800-7 Great Britain and France blacklisted the United States, each attempting to force it into war ae an ally. The British order in Council at that time prohibited American commerce with any port in Europe from which Great Britain had been excluded. Napo leon's retaliatory decree declared a lawful prize any ship that set sail for or from Great Britain or any of her colonies. It was those denials of its sovereignty that led the United States into embargoes and non-intercourse acts and at length to war. . A great Change has come over the financial and commercial situation since that day, and retaliation, which was then costly and ineffective, may now be resorted to, if necessary, with crushing force. Whatever. the motive may be, those who levy commercial war against the United States should jbe met on their own ground and with ' the same weapons. - - ! j 2 v $ STATE NEWS " ' . j '!!!!! j ! j i Indians Are On Auto Tour.
