SEflSIBLE FOURTH IS ENJOYED BY ALL Pop and Bang Hilarity Give Way to Healthy Recrea tion and Outing. NO NERVES ARE SHATTERED Picnic Bemnaiits Instead of Finger and Thumbs Strew Rendezvous of Celebrations Seoontl Sane Day Is Success. . Pop and bang hilarity, fireworks. Tnutilated hands and blinded eyes and streets alive with warlike explosions gave way yesterday to serene pienlck r ., .ninVTiint whan Portland ids uu J - ' people for the second time celebrated a "safe and sane ' inaopenacn.- a-f Whole families packed big lunch has ' kets, boarded automobiles, streetcars, excursion steamers, railway tralna and buggies and wagons for a cool, woody retreat or the banks of some swlft flowlng. fishy stream. Steamers piled up and down the river carrying" excursionists to Bonneville, the locks and The Dalles and up the Columbia. Trains and streetcare car ried their human cargoes of patriotic Americans to Irvlngton. Sandy, Gresham, Vancouver, Bull Run ami as far away as Eugene. - A number of -people selected this time for their an nual trip to ocean resort. Safcarfcaa Retreats Pepalar. Portland city folk took the Fourth easily this year. Those who did not go to some playground hied themselves to a suburban town, where they had relatives or friends and where they could get away from crowded thorough fares. There In groves, on big lawns and small town parks they met parties of their "folks" and enjoyed a reunion and a Fourth of July at the same time. Many Portland folk took their "safe and sane" at home. Ice cream lawn parties were -tha rage In the sections farther out. Country folk who spent their Inde pendence day in the city took It more strenuously. Livery stables were crowded with horses and rigs from rural districts before the, day had well begun. Farmers, their sons, daugh ters and wives thronged the atreels. threatened . to use up the seating ca pacity of s-eent theaters and visited out-of-town parks. With them, the amusement parks, where scenic railways were In full swing, and whera all the accessories were popular. They filled the sightseeing cars, crowded traffic off the streets and in the evening mobilised about the doors of theaters whera attractive bills were on. Features for All to Emjor. -.. Before o'clock In the morning street corners, were crowded with pleasure seekers who wished to catch a car to some cool place, and this condition lasted until late In the afternoon. Chariot races and roughrldlng amused visitors at the Country Club; at Irv lngton a community celebration was held; the Oregon Tacht Club conducted an unofficial regatta on the river In the afternoon and the Portland Auto mobile Club had a special dinner In the evening at Us new clubhouse on Sandy River near the Base JJne road.- At Rose City Park there was a-community picnic dinner at o'clock. Local fraternal organisations took the occasion to hold snnual picnics. The Woodmen went to Bull Run. the Hi bernians. togethr with .the members of the Holy Cross parish, held a picnic at Columbia University campus; Odd fellows celebrated at Cape Horn Park and local Scottish societies Joined Ore gon City in the celebration at Canemah Park. The Catholic Order of Foresters and members of St. Anthony's parish picnicked at Tigard. , - Good Sleep Eajoyed. Few expressed dissatisfaction with the change from the old war-time ex hibition and its "morning after" to a celebration that leaves no bad taste. Even among boys and girls there was little complaint about the absence of -glaring rockets-and nerve-destroying dynamite caps. Instead of being fit fully aroused early In the morning by the booming of cannon and the shouts of young America, the Portland citisen allowed himself to sleep overtime. There was no early rising to look after the welfare of over-eager girls and boys who wanted to be out on the bat tle front from the first gun. There was no exploding of 6-cent packages of crackers under the milkman's horse and a resultant destruction of prop erty. "Yet the children played Just as hap pily In the parks, swung Just as hard on the swings, yelled Just as lustily when their favorite won. the 100-yard dash, ate Just as much cake: at the Fourth of July luncheon and enjoyed the show In the evening Just as well as' if they had passed through a bom bastic ordeal. " CROWDS FLOCK TO THE OAKS Amusement Park Is Popular Place for Fonrtn'Celebrantt. - :' " As 'f to celebrate the first really warm day at the Oaks amusement park, a crowd that easily eclipsed all previous records swarmed over the lawns- yesterday. after streetcars, launches, rowboats and canoes- had been taxed to their capacity to trans port the throngs. - .Records for "the Fourth" In 1S11 bow that 32.181 persons passed through the gates that day. As the reg isters bad ticked past 30.000 at a very arly hour In the evening it was ob vious that 35,000 and possibly 40.000 or 45.000 might be the tale, when the last amusement-seeker . had left - the spot. The crowd started when St. Peters Parish members, headed by Rev. Fa ther Bentgen...and between 800 and 1000 In number stormed the gates early In the day and with games, dancing and fun for young and odd, the parish loners spent the afternoon and even- lnfl k. ...I? houra of the afternoon came mothers and youngsters - to the park, to be closely followed by young people, as tne Itself felt the swimming pavilion be- .. h nAnniar resort and while ca- VMIUV . . u , . noes tilted In the river for prises the Tlver ana tana Decamo swimmers. . , Every attraction In the park1 did a splendid business while the free attrac tions such as the Oaks Park band.

The pastime of the Emerald Isle vied with the amusement of the Yankee man at the tenth annual picnic, of the Ancient Ordsr of Hibernians on the Columbia University campus yesterday.

In a baseball game In the afternoon a picked team from the Ancient Order of Hioernians was unable to withstand the terrible onslaughts of the second team of the Knights of Columbus and the Irish players had their colors trailed in the dust, while a flag of vic tory, showing a score or is to o, was iivii over them by the Knights. JAn address was delivered in the af ternoon by James H. McMenamln. He held up to his hearers tne nign ideals that Induced their forefathers to or ganise a new government and deplored the agitation that attacked the govern ment.

The matter was Anally adjusted by awarding another prize that could v-Ith more readiness be divided between the winners. v HOP CROP-NOT A BUMPER Dallas Grower Says Reports Are Cir .. culated for Speculative Purposes. That reports which are being circu lated to the effect that the hop crop la Oregon this year Is going to be bumper are without foundation is. the declaration of -Ralph Williams, a hop grower of "Dallas, who has Just com pleted an investigation of conditions throughout the Willamette Valley. l"I went up -the west side of the val- fley and came"-back on the east side," said Mr. Williams last night, "and I find that the crop, in all probability, will be not more than 10 per cent or 15 per cent better than last year. The -reports - have been"- elreulated. that the big crop would result in lower prices. I believe these reports emanate from short sellers and that the farmers should not listen to them. There is no reason to believe that the crop- will be a. bumper, and I firmly believe the price will remain at 15 to 30' cents. Ths farmer should look out for himself In this proposition and be guided by his own knowledge rather than reports of persons who are trying to make money by circulating false reports and selling short. . j:."I have. been, out of the state most of the Spring and Summer, and have been Impressed with the reports to such an extent that I took it upon my self to investigate when I returned.

AT HOSPITALS TEIX OF IDLE DAY WITH REDUCED STAFFS. : Miss Welch, of Good Samaritan, Says Something Might Happen Before ' Morning to Mar Day "The safest and sanest ever," was the general verdict yesterday of hospi tal authorities, doctors and all who have to do with, sick and injured peo ple. To a late hour last night not a single accident that could be attributed to the Fourth of July had been reported at the hospitals. There were a few accidents, but they were of a routine nature, and, outside of the automobile accident on the Base, line Road, of little consequence. In fact there were but three altogether and one of these occurred outside the city. Jim Schonthahl. a laborer, in a some what advanced stage of intoxication, sat on the railroad track near Sher wood, in the path of a passenger train, and refused to move until forcibly ejected by the fender of the locomotive. Firmly, and not too gently, he was dislodged from his position and de posited on the side of the track. His collar bone was broken in two plaoes, but otherwise his injuries were con fined to bruises. He was brought to the Good Samaritan Hospital. C. E. Skeels, a driver for the Wells Fargo Express Company, was struck by an automobile at. Third and Alder streets early in the day. He suffered a tort to the left leg and was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital. As a result of the quiet character of the day from the standpoint of those whose business it is to alleviate bodily pain the hospitals were enabled to per mit many of their staff to take a holi day for a large portion of the day and conducted their institutions with little better than half of the regular iorces. "Never since my hospital experience began have I seen so quiet a Fourth of July." said Sister Diamera, in charge of the receiving office at St. Vincent's Hospital. "Not only was it quiet for a Fourth of July, but it was quieter than the ordinary day at the hospital. Prospective patients preferred to cele brate the National holiday outside the hospital and consequently the number of patients received today was unusual ly small." " "You never can tell what may hap pen before morning," said Miss Welch, assistant superintendent of the Good Samaritan Hospital. ."I can scarcely believe that a Fourth of July can pass with so few accidents and for once I am a doubting -Thomas. I propose to see before I believe." LTki. 0tmn Kvinrtn of Julv business certainly plays 'hob' with the doctors business." admitted City Physician Ziegler. "However, there is no objec tion on my part, for while it means less work for the City Physician's office, the office goes on just the same." 'ROUNDUP' TO BE DEPICTED Bungalow Theater Shows Pictures of Western Feature. Down in Eastern Oregon, once every year visitors from all parts pour into Pendleton for the "Round-Up," the fi nest exhibition of ranch, life and ranch skill that can be seen today. Many so called Wild West shows are nothing more or less than fakes. Not so with the exhibition at Pendleton, where large cash prises attract the pick of the cowboys and cowgirls from all over the West, from Canada . as . well as the States. "' - . : Last year official pictures were ta ken of the "Round-Up," and were shown recently in. Portland. Yesterday these pictures, reinforced by an extra 1000 feet 01 rums never anown oeiurt, were depicted on the screen at the Bungalow Theater to the delight of a large number of spectators. They are the last copies of the films taken by w; H Harbeck, who went down on the ill-fated Titanic, carrying with him the original negatives. ' Consequently this Is, perhaps, the final chance Portland people will get of viewing them. Every 'detail of the three days' per formance is given, from the opening parade to the cowgirls' pony race with a clarity and absence of dust that is remarkable. To our visitors, the Elks, nothing could be shown them more appropriate than these films which have caught the spirit of the trail and the hardihood of life in the West, among the wild horses and the Indians. These pictures have been brought here at this time with the object of giving strangers a chance of seeing ac tual happenings in our state, and they will remain here until the end of next week... Performances commence at 12 noon, running continuously . all ' the afternoon and evening. The films In clude the following scenes: Indian War Dance, Squaw Race, Love Dance, Cow girls' Pony Race, Stage-Coach Race, Steer Bull-Dogging, Wild Horse Race and Bucking Contest. . During the past year a new motor vehicle, called cycle car, haa been developed. It II In reality a light four-wheeled runabout, eating two paaiensers. and with engines -up to eignt-norsepower.
