.mused Into history and with it mnny
Kind memories of the occasion, fur
never did this town give a more
cordial welcome nor care better for
her guenU.
On tho morninitof the 4th streets
Icadlnir into town were thronged
with visitors who were eairer to be
in time for the blif parade. Many
ramo earlier in the week so an to
be able to enjoy all the ball garnet
and nMrU. Some came forty and
fifty miles and camjied near town
and took in the amusements provided
for them.
The automobile parade was eg
pccially attractive notwithxtandinff
the threatening weather. Some of
the floats were works of art.
The procciwlon formed at Com
mercial Club Hull with two old
soldiers, Messrs. Elliott and McClay,
in the lead. Their aids were Fred
Hoclschcr and Cecil Stearns. The
parade passed through the principal
atreeU.
Mayor Clifton followed tho mar
shals and in his car were Rev.
Ramsey and the speakers of the day,
Messrs. N. CJ. Wallace and Wilford
Belknap.
Uncle Sam's car followed the
mayor. It was elaborately decor
ated with the national colors and
had a very realistic Uncle. J. It,
Bowman was at tho wheel.
The Christian Kndeavor Society's
car came next with Miss Klma Noble
at the wheel, fhe drew the float on
which the Goddeas of Liberty (Miss
Cowherd) rode. This younir woman
was dressed in a cream robe with a
long train and made a pleasing pic
ture as she stood on a platform in
the center of the float attended by
her maids of honor.
Then came Frank Klkina with
thirteen little maids, each one bear
ing a pennant for one of the orig
inal colonics.
Tho firemen's car, decorated In
red, was next.
The Ladies' Annex float followed,
In which rode the officers of
that organization. Mrs. Oliver
Adams was at the wheel. This car
was unanimously awarded the first
prize by the judges'of tho parade.
It was dressed in blue and white the
Annex colors. The white background
with blue flower decorations formed
a moat article picture. Mesdumes
J. B. Bell. F. B. Foster, 0. C. Hyde
and 0. G. Adams were the ladies
who had charge of tho decorations.
The next car, decorated in blue,
was driven by Jimmy King. It
represented the Prineville Com
mercial Club. Following this came
tho Prineville band.
The Order of Owls was there
with their big bird typical of the
order. Close behind came Eddie
Campbell on his burro, whom we
"judge was there to keep these wild
birds in order.
Miss Audrey Noble had her car
well filled with little girls, J. B.
Bell with his boy scouts came next,
followed byJMiss Agnes Elliott in
her car, which was beautifully
decorated in green, with yellow
butterflies clinging here and there.
This car won special mention for
its pretty decorations.
Thet Home Hospital float was
next with its little nurse, Cora
l'oindexter, who had her doll for a
patient. Dot Poindexter drove the
car.
The- Fairies, representing the
public school, filled two cars, with
Mrs. Chas. M. Elkins and Mr.
Gilliam driving.
Mrs." Carey tW. Foster at the
wheel of her auto and Miss Beatrice
Johnson driving the Johnson car
were next in line. Then followed
citizens in autos.
At the rear of the parade was the
Ford cars. They were headed by a
beautiful float decorated In green
and white. It had a canopy top in
which was seated little Eater Foster,
who was driving butterflies that
were perched on the radiator. This
float won second prize. About
fifteen Ford cars were in line. C.
L. Shattuck had a sign on his car
which read -"80,000 miles and still
going." Tho rear car In this part
of the parade humorously repre
sented the whole world riding in a
Ford.
After the parade all gathered
near the Club Hall where the ex
ercises were held. The singers of
tho town, assisted by the orchestra,
rendered several patriotic songs
after which Mayor Clifton intro
duced Wilford Buildup who won
hearty applause because of his ex
cellent and forceful reading of
"The Declaration of Independence."
Attorney N. G. Wallace, the orator
of the day, was then introduced.
He said in part: "Wo are here
today, my friends, to celebrate the
signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Not only to celebrate
the birth of a new government, a
new world power, but to celebrate
the birth of a new freedom for the
human race. Away back yonder in
the dying hours of the eighteenth
century, when monarchs held sway
beyond the seas, and the spirit of
revolution had sounded the tocsin of
war on our own shores, out from
the smoke and flame of Bunker Hill
there strode a colossal figure who
stood on the horizon of human hope
and cast his shadow around the
world. His eagle-like visage was
surmounted by a plug hat of fur,
his chin whiskers swept down like
the tail of a comet over a vest be
spangled with stars; his claw-hammer
coat was as blue as the sky,
and his trousers of red and white
stripes were held down at the heel
with straps under his boots. The
earth trembled under his tread and
the angels named him Uncle Sam.
He was the embodiment of the
dream of the aires, the spirit and
hope of freedom that had been
slumbering for ages in the human
breast. He was no idle dream,
and his mission was to smite with
equality's Bword the shackles that
bound the human race.
"This great nation is divided into
three great sections, each section a
mighty pillar of the Union. Yonder
stretches the north and the east,
glittering with spired cities, crowded
with its busy millions singing the
songs of progress with the spindle
and the loom, and groaning with
wealth. It is the great pillar,
around whose base is to be found a
splendid civilization whose triumphs
are the triumphs of cultured brain
'and cunning hands, and whose
'statesmanship commands the ad
miration of the w,orld.
J "On this side of the mighty
I fTaihn- nt Wotira lnnma fhtt miorhrv
I pillar of the West, a vast empire
1 within itself, and here has sprung
i into life a new and marvelous civili
zation, holding in its right hand the
sheaves of peace and plenty and in
its left the funneled-shaped cloud
"Then the great empire of Dixie,
my own sweet sunny South. With
all of its Buffering it is still the
garden of the gods where all the
bloom and verdure of "Paradise
Lost" has found a home. It is
there the .mocking bird sings its
sweetest song, apd the darkies sing
their old-time melodies and hunt
the 'possum and the coon. My
friends, I love the beautiful land of
Dixie; I love It for its traditions
and Its splendid citizenship; I love
It for what It has accomplished
since the bloody days of 'Gl to '65;
I love it for its loyalty to the
American Union; I love it for its
loyalty to the Stars and Stripes.
Around this mighty pillar of the
Union there lives a splendid citizen
ship whose sword la sheathed and
whose face is turned toward the
morning.
Behold then, this mighty, triple
pillared temple of our Union, un
fettered by tyrants, undaunted by
Kings. Wherever the eagles lead
them with forces joined the planet
will tremble and the nations of the
earth must quail.
"The greatest thing on earth, my
friends, is to be a red-blooded,
loyal American citizen. In the
great scheme of our government
every citizen, however humble, has
his part to play. It is not only our
duty to protect our flag in times of
war, but it is our duty to protect it
in times of peace. It takes a
patriot to bare his breast to shot and
shell in time of war in defense of
the American flag; it takes a patriot,
n times of peace, to pay his taxes
without a murmur. It is not only
our duty to protect the honor and
dignity of the American govern-'
ment, but it is our solemn duty to
be loyal to those who stand as the
representatives of the people in up
holding its institutions. Let us be
loyal to our local government, loyal
to our officers, those of the county,
Btate and nation.
"Let us lay aside the things that
so easily beset us and run with
patience the race set before us,
glorying in our mighty triumphs,
glorying in the great principles of
our government. Let us at all
times be ready to say, 'My country!
May she always be right, but my
country right or wrong.'"
The Barbecue.
Prineville not only entertained but !
fed her many guests on July 4th.
After the speaking hundreds of
people were served with bread and
butter, ickles and some of the best
barbecued meat that you ever
flopped your lip over.
J. F. Cadle, assisted by Messrs.
Horigan and Hall, had a fine big
steer and two large mutton sheep
all tender, sweet and juicy, ready
to serve from the pit that had been
constructed back of the Commer
cial Club Hall. This meat came out
clean and wholesome from its roast
ing and was served to the crowd by j
Messrs. Cadle, Horigan, Hall, Ros-I
enberg, Frank Elkins and Mrs.
P, oil ,.,i. ..., ti : i
vjriuo, an ui wiiuiii wcie siuLicna in
white linen and who served gener
ously to all who came.
It is estimated that at least 1,000
people were fed, and at an early
hour in the afternoon all that re
mained of the barbecue wassmell !
and a few bones.
Mr. Cadle used the Mexican
method of barbecuing which he
thinks can't be improved upon, and
we believe all who were lucky
enough to taste that meat will agree
with the gentleman. This method
is to first dig a good large pit and
line it with stones, then cut the
larger animals into pieces weighing
from 40 to 60 pounds. These to be
sewed in muslin and packed into the
pit, which has been thorougly heat
ed with a good fire, and then all the
coals and ashes carefully removed.
Tho smaller animals are sewed in
muslin 'and put in whole. All is
then covered with muslin, then a
layer of burlap, then a good cover
ing of straw which must be free
from all weeds, and over this is
placed about eight inches of earth.
The most careful part of the work
is then to build and keep just the
right amount of fire which must
heat but not bake the layer of
earth. This is kept up for twenty
hours, after which the layer of earth
is removed and the whole mass al
lowed to cool until it can be served.
Baseball Tournament
The Prineville baseball team still
remains undefeated in a series of
games, having disposed of the
strong Knights of Columbus team
of Portland two out of three games
during the 4th of July celebration.
The local's play was marked by
clean fast work in the field, consist
ent hitting and fast work on the
bases. McCall and Stapleton were
the leading hitters, averaging
around 500 per cent for the series.
Stapleton also caught in big league
style.
"Bub" Estes did some nice field
ing at short stop and demonstrated
that he is entitled to a steady berth
on the team. All the old timers
played in old-time form and showed
that they had not lost any of their
skill and speed.
The visitors, after a long string
of victories over the best teams in
Oregon and Washington and with
only one defeat chalked up against
them, being beaten by the soldiers
at the Vancouver Barracks, were
confident of making a clean sweep
of the locals, but they admitted
after the first gsme that the local
team was the finest and best bal
anced team that they had gone up
against this year, and also that
Tetherow was the best pitcher by a
big margin.
The locals won the first game on
Friday afternoon 8 to 0. Tetherow
pitched fine ball, letting the
Knights down with but two bingles
and fanning 12 of their basemen.
He was given perfect support and
the locals batted in plenty of runs
to win most ball games.
