OREGON CtTYf COURJKR.THURSDA V. JULY V 1913
THE BIG OLD FOURTH
Different Places in the County Where
; Celebrations Were Held
July Fourth was celebrated in many
sections throughout Clackamas county
and the streets of Oregon City had
a deserted appearance, as hundreds
left to celebrate the day elsewhere.
There were no accidents reported, and
it was one of the sanest Fourths ever
celebrated in old Clackamas county.
The heavy clouds hung low, and there
was every indication of rain, but old
Jupiter Pluvius was considerate for
those who had planned to celebrate
the day, and decided to give them one
day without ram, probably the only
one that has been enjoyed for the
past two weeks. There were gallons
of red lemonade, ice cream disposed of
besides tons of peanuts. No fingers
are reported lost from the use of fire
crackers, as these were not allowed.
Fireworks were on the programme
at Canemah Park, and were in charge
of Andrew Kan, Jr., of Portland, who
understood his business, and there
were no fatalities.
Hon. Geo. C. Brownell was orator
of the day at Canby. The exercises
took place following the parade at the
County fair grounds. The Canby band
iurmsned music during tne day, play
ing during the races. Horse races and
motor-cycle races were among .the
attractive features on the ground. An
exciting ball game took place at the
lair grounds. Ihe days' programme
closed with a ball at the Canby Band
Hall.
Hon. G. B. Dimick was orator of
the day at Logan. Many times Judge
uimicK's remarKs were loudly ap
plauded throughout his address and
ne- was well received. His subject was
well handled. Games and sports help
ed to make an enjoyable programme.
A ball was given during the evening
and was largely attended. The Red
land band furnished the music.
The firemen of Oregon City enjoy
ed the day at Schnoerr's Park at Wil
lamette. The picnic was given by
Fountain Hose Company, but thefire
men of the city and their families
were extended an invitation. There
was a good attendance and those hav
ing the pleasure of being invited re
ported that the Fountains are royal
entertainers. Speeches and songs fol
lowed by refreshments were the feat
ures of the day's programme. A. M,
Sinnott, a prominent fireman of this
city and member of Greenpoint Hose
Company, who is a fluent speaker,
gave an excellent address, his sub
ject being "Independence Day." Pat
riotic songs were sung by the mem
bers of the different fire companies of
the Oregon City fire department.
Gladstone had a good old-fashioned
Fourth of July celebration. This being
the second annual gathering of its
kind, was even more successful than
that of last year. There were about a
thousand people gathered to enjoy
the day's festivities, which cpnsisted
of races, contests, baseball game be
tween the East and West Gladstone
ball teams, West Gladstone winning.
The programme closed in the even
ing with a monster bonfire, a recept
ion for the teachers, who have been
camping at the park while attending
the summer school. The German band
composed of seven pieces, of Port
land, enlivened the day's programme
with the latest music. A grand ball
was held at the Gladstone Hall during
tne evening.
The patriotic exercises were held in
the auditorium. 1 he band concert
from 9 to 10 A. M. opened the day's
patriotic programme. Colonel Robert
A. Miller, formerly of Gladstone, but
now of Portland, was orator of the
day. Colonel Miller has many friends
throughout Clackamas county who
took the advantage to hear him on
this occasion. He was heartily receiv
ed. Thomas Burns, appearing as
Uncle Sam made an address as did
other residents of Gladstone, who
were attired to represent characters
of years ago. A chorus of 50 voices
sang patriotic songs.
in the nail driving contest for wo
men many could show the men how to
nail. One man was heard to remark
immediately after the contest that
one of the contestants could build a
fence while her husband slept .This
woman hit every nail on the head and
was awarded the first prize. There
were plenty of bandages on hand for
mashed fingers, but they were not
needed. The women could hit the nails
as well as the men, and some did it
better. Mrs. Strebig won out. The con
test in nail driving for men over 60
years was participated in by many
of the prominent elderly men of Glad
stone. The way they went after the
nails was no joke. Some were a lit
tle slower than others but they got
there just the same. J. C. Paddock, a
well known G. A. R. man, was award
ed first prize. In the fat man's race,
Lyle Gault won out. As a rule there
are not many fat men residing at
Gladstone and several men entered
who would not be considered fat, but
after all the real "fatties" made the
best time across the field leaving the
"slims" behind. In the thin mens') first; Wilbur Wilson, second.
