MANY GO OUT OF TOWN Chinese Joyfully Help to Make Noise. Celebration at Hawthorne Park. - Ball Games and Boat Races. Sunday School Picnics. Apparently weary of the violent observ ance of Independence Day that has been the custom here for years, Portland aban doned her noisy and dangerous customs yesterday and celebrated the Fourth in perhaps the sanest manner In Its history. Fewer accidents than In the past 10 years; fewer fires than In a like period; less noise on the streets than has been heard since Portland became a city; a paucity of streetcar accidents, and fewer people In town were some of the not able features of yesterday's celebration of the Nation's natal day. The small boy sat alone on his own front steps and fired an occasional fire cracker, his big brother set off a few bunches downtown and several grown-ups Joined in the desultory cannonading, but altogether they did not make enough noise to Jar the feelings of the most nervous. It was like a rural Sabbath, compared with Portland's previous dem onstrations. Chinese Shoot Many Crackers. That applies to the city in general.

The Swedish churches observed the day with a picnic at Piedmont, and at Oe wego the Catholic Girls' Orphanage was dedicated by Archbishop Christie, with Governor Chamberlain as the orator of the day. So far as the police were concerned they were practically Idle during the day. Arrests were unusually few, even for an ordinary day, and no reports of disorders or disturbances of consequence were re ceived. Firemen also had a sort of holiday compared with the Fourths of July of the past few years. A few alarms were turned in, but no fires of consequence occurred. MANY SPEND DAY IN COUNTRY Great Crowds Leave City by Rail and River. Immense throngs of people left Port land yesterday by rail and water but Just how many celebrated the day by going on excursions or visiting friends out of the city is hard to estimate correctly, for figures had not been made up by the different companies last night. Travel was very heavy on the Vancouver, Oaks and Cazdero lines of the Portland Bail way, Light & Power Company and many people took the trip around Portland Heights and Council Crest. However, officials of the company say yesterday waa not a record day by any means, al though probably 50,000 fares were rung up on the various lines. Trains on the steam roads were heavily patronized yesterday. In whatever direc tion they went, they had their full quota of passengers. Hordes of people flocked to the country to visit friends or picnic in some favored spot. The weather was so pleasant for this form of recreation that the movement was greater than that of former years and those who went away on the railroads for the day num bered several thousand. Many went to the beach to remain over Sunday and the trains and ' boats bound for the various ocean resorts were loaded. But the favorite outing yesterday was on the river and at points reached by steamers and launches, while many went on xserakuia MP the Columbia and to other and mining man, of this state, died Friday night at his home, 7i5 muii ..nih sti-t at the aee of 73 years.

A very "conservative" Ills, man, how ever, let his good wife find out for her. self what a blessing Postum Is to those who are distressed in many ways by drinking coffee. The wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I, a coffee cap tive. Yet there were innumerable warnings waking from a troubled sleep with a' feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and out of breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that fright ened me. "Common sense, reason, and my bet ter judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was so disarranged that my physician ordered 'no more coffee." "He knew he was right and he knew I knew It, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum but disliked it, because, as we learned later, it was not made right. "Determined this time to give Postum a fair trial, I prepared it according to directions on the pkg. that is, boiled It 15 minutes after boiling commenced, obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich, snappy flavor similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but delicious. "Noting its beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it all except my husband, who would not ad mit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said-: I have decided to drink Postum.
