With celebrations at Mill City, Sub limity, West Stayton, Turner, Murion ami Salem, the Stayton people hail no lack of entertainment on the Fourth. Stayton looked like a desert that day, ami the stores were mostly cloned except in the early morning for the belated householder who had forgotten to order up what his wife had told him the day before. Quite a crowd went to Mill City where part of the Stayton ball hoy* helped the lumbermen try to beat Sil- verton. A me* delegation went to Sublimity, where there was patriotism, fun and entertainment all day long. Especial mention must lx- made of the uddrea* by W. H. Downing, which waa one of the heat that the writer has ever heard; simple, direct and to the point on pure Americanism. Mr. Downing received hearty congratulations of almoat every one present, and the crowd waa esti mated at fifteen hundred. A feature at Sublimity was the super-excellent dinner served by the ladies in the base merit of the new school house. J. P. Wilbur and wife, accompanied by Mr. nnd Mrs. E. Small motored to the Divelv grove near Weal Stayton where Mr. Wilbur was scheduled to make an address. That he did it in a truly patiiotic and excellent manner, anyone who has heard him speak in public will understand. He was the recipient of much applause. Quite a number of other people from Stayton and surrounding country helped to swell the crowd to nearly seven-hun dred. Reports from Turner and Marion also slate that the crowds were all that could be expected, while Salem claims ten thousand at thair celebration at the Fair grounds. All In all 1916 will long be remem bered aa a year when the Fourth was celebrated in a truly fitting and Ameui- edn manner, and a year ia which the people of the United States are more united that in any other in its history.
