S NO FIRECRACKER INJURIES. ? Jv I Local physicians atm the hos- 4 pital have no records of injuries $ s from firecrackers during the 4th ? of July period. The youngsters S of the city confined themselves 3 to the smaller crackers where the $ ordinances were violated and due 3 to this fact probably, is the lack ? of any accident of injurious na- ture. $-S3i$'!'Ss$'J?.$S J Sanity and safety were truely ruling features in the manner that July 4th 1913, passed over La Grande. Though camping parties, fishing trips, Elgin.

This number was' ren- dered both morning and evening with splendid success. The nature of the Alpine music cannot be appreciated without understanding that the sin- gers use the natural song methods em- ployed in the Alps and have absolutely no touch of the trainer's art. The finished , harmony of trained voices was lacking and of the seven, tw.o voices of great ability stood out as worthy of especial .mention, that of the soprano and yodler, and the tenor-, Their native costumes were worn on and off the stage.

Every day adds new admirers to Mrs. Pearl Hutton Schroder's frend ship list since she came to the park. Those who have come to know her splendid personality and winsomeness coupled with those who don't know her personally but admirer her brief pro grams that have been arranged daily at some convenient hour, become all the more taken up with her singing from day to day. In lullabies and bal lad work she is especially clever and every time Mrs. Schrader is announc ed her reception is warm.'. Platform Manager Geo. T. Cochran got himself in a "hole" as base ball parlance goes, yesterday : morning Mrs. Schrader had just sung the "Star Spangled Banner," in her winsome way and was announced for "America." To add color of patriotism, Mr. Cochran announced "The audience will join in the chorus." Along about the second stanza the platform manager bit his lip but "worked himself out" again resorting to base ball parlance by having the audience rise and sing the last stanza in unison. It did not drift to, the audience at the moment that there are no choruses in America." IMBLER CELEBRATES. Thrilling Scenes, Attractive Parades and Good Sports Entertain. Imbler, July 5. (Special) This town has never had quite the finish ed celebration it 4iad yesterday. A gang of cowboys rode into town and held up Cashier Williams of the bank and robbed the place of several million dollars and lugged it off but were generous and spent it on the citizen ship of the place. A parade a half mile long followed the exciting opener of the day, and then came sports and horse races. All in all it was a great celebration.
