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. Mark Bailey and Robert Lister Continued on page 4.
