WHAT OTHERS SAY
(Pendleton, E. 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

100 mile dash for the reason that the
uninitiated in motorcycle contests is
able to keep better tab on the shorter
contests. , At least the Pendleton vis
itors appeared to favor the third race,
five mile contest, as the prettiest of
the day. 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.
