(Spe cial. 1 Six hundred dollars that was stolen at Oswego last Saturday night by Thomas O'Connell from a saloon keeper for whom O'Connell -was bar keeper, was returned to the ownt-r yes tarday by O'Connell. who is in Beaver ton. Washington County. The saloon keeper hid the money In a flourhtn and O'Connell, taking advantage of his 'em parade assignments made up as soon as the Rose Fiesta is over. He is in con sultation with Mr. Cannon of the Rose Carnival regarding the reproduction of any of the floats used on that occasion that may be available, the idea being that patriotic decorations b sub stituted for floral effects on the more notable pieces. Among other suggestions made for parade features from citizens is one contained in the following letter re ceived by Mr. Nicklin yesterday: "F. r. Nicklin, Assistant Secretary, "Dear Sir Some of the boys have been speaking of having an ex-cow-punchers' parade on the Fourth, along with the other parades. I refer the same to you that you may decide the matter and have It brought about un der the direction of the parade com mittee. "As there are quite a number of ex cowpunchers in the city from different parts of the West and Southwest, I think there could be quite a bunch rounded up. "Yours for a big crowd on the Fourth, "AN EX-COWPUNCHER." The suggestion was received by the parade committee with great favor and there is every probability that a "bunch" of cowpunchers and rough riders will appear in the parade in "chaps." Colts 44's, ropes, burking bronchos, yells, sombreros and all the rest of the plains life represented with the exception of "shooting up the town." So far as outlined there will be six military aids and ten civic aids ap pointed by the parade committee to as sist the grand marshal and division marshals in maneuvering the parade. The subcommittee having In charge the "comic section" for the evening of July 3 met at headquarters yesterday after noon and elected John F. Shorey chair man and William J. Hoffman secre tary and L.. P. Bruce chief booster. It i( the intention of this committee to so licit from merchants and others who may feel interested in the clown parade, prizes for the very worst costume, the very worst float and the very worst general effect In the parade. . STUDENTS IN NEW PLAY Pacific University Scholars Will Pre sent "The Bridge of the Gods." There is every Indication that the students of Pacific University will score a big: success in "The Bridge of the Gods," which they are to present at the Hellig Theater tomorrow night. The patronage will be drawn not only from the former students and friends of the school, but also from the gen eral public, as the play promises to be of great interest. Pacific University will entertain as its guests at the play this year's graduating classes of the High School, St. Helen's Hall, Portland Academy and the Allen Preparatory School. "The Bridge of the Gods," as written by Balch, is good material for the play wright and it la strange that Its pro duction on the stage was never under taken before. As portraying the life and customs of the Indians who ruled supreme in the Pacific Northwest up to the coming of white men, this story is without an equal. While the plot hinges on the fall of the Willamette tribe, prominence is given to the court ship of a white explorer to the daughter of Chief Multnomah. Professor Orr. who had charge of the dramatization of the novel and of the preparations for staging it. has had long experience as a dramatic coach. PHOTO POST CARDS BCEKEKY.
