THE FOURTH OF JULY IN ST. HELENS
Greatest Celebration Ever Held In
Columbia County, Pulled Oft
FIREMEN HAVE CHARGE OF ALL DETAILS
Everything From the Parade in the Morning to the
Dance At Night is a Huge Success
When it comes to conducting suc
cessful Fourth of July Celebrations
all hats must come off to the St.
Helens Volunteer Firemen. Last
Saturday In St. Helens the national
birthday was celebrated as It never
was before in this community. Sev
eral thousand people from all over
the country were here to witness the
sports and to listen to the patriotic
exercises of the day. At sunrise the
population was awakened by the sal
ute of big guns. Before 9 o'clock
the city was filled with people, all
determined to make the best of the
great holiday. Grand Marshals
Martin White and L, II. Co'mbs
mounted on fiery steeds were seen
galloping around in every drection
giving orders to the entrants for the
parade, while Fire Chief Allen and
his gallant bunch of fire-fighters all
togged out In their bran new red
shirts end caps, were as busy as bees
on swarming day. At 10 o'clock the
St. Johns Firemen arrived with their
trucks and Immediately joining the
St. Helens boys In getting things
lined up.
A few minutes after 10 the St. Hel
ons band struck up sofe patriotic
music and the parade, started from
the corner of Willamette and Winter
Streets, going down Oak Street to
St. Helens Street, to Columbia Street
then down to Cowlitz Street on down
to the Strand then back up by the
Court HoiUe and around the plazi
to Columbia Street then out to God
frcy Park where the crowd had al
ready gathered to listen to the exer
cises. The parade was very nice too.
several floats of different organiza
tions being represented. The Fire
men of St. Helens and St. Johns
mingled with their red and white
suits was one -of the features of the
parade. Then came the Boy Scouts
and the Flag Girls on foot and the
big floats with the Goddess of Liber
ty and her Court on a large auto
truck beautifully decorated with
flags and bunting. Miss -Edna Har
ris as the Goddess was pretty as
could be and Miss Laura Barber as
Columbia also brought forth many
compliments from the crowd on her
appearance. Arriving at Godfrey
Park the Band played some more
National Airs which seemed to In
spire patrotlsm in the hearts of all
and then G. R. Metsker, the Presi
dent of the Day, made his address
of welcome in a happy and patriotic
vein. Mrs. Douglas rendered the
Star' Spangled Banner to the delight
of the crowd and Mrs. Van Tassel
played a stirring piece on the piano,
dedicated to the firemen, which aus
ed much 'applause. Mrs. Glen R.
Metsker sang the Red, White and
Blue, with the audience joining In
the chorus. Miss Anne Ketel recited
the Declaration of Independence and
then Hon. W. A. Carter of Portland
dellvernd a very Interesting and
patriotic address which was heartly
received.
After dinner the people went down
to the Court House Plaza where
the band discoursed music for some
time and then led the way out to the
School Athletic Track where the
races buu spans were neia. une or
the features of the day wasnthe bron
cho riding of Al Yancy of an outlaw
horse and a vest pocket edition of
the Pendleton Round Up was staged.
The ball games are reported In
another column. At 6:30 hi the
afternoon the St. Helens fire com
pany undertook to drown out the St.
Johns Fire Company in a water fight
but the boys from up the river prov
ed to be superior and after a hard
struggle made our boys quit. It
was an exciting fight, out of the
ordinary and was greatly enjoyed by
a large crowd. In the log rolling
contest on the river great skill was
manifested by several contestants,
one contest taking nearly half an
hour, finally ending In a draw. The
fireworks from a barge on the river
were beautiful and with the moon
shining on the still waters presented
a wonderful sight.
The street during the evening was
one of the Interesting features of
the celebraton. The festival spirit
prevailed with everybody. Stands
were filed with fakirs and some with
legitimate entertainment, but every
thing looked alike to the holiday
crowd. The festivities were kept up
until a late hour along the street.
The big day ended with the big
gest dance ever held in the city hall
given by the firemen.
Tbe prizes awarded by the Judges
of the parade went to the Boy Scouts
for the best drilled organization and
