There is little In sight tor the small
boy tomorrow. Neither the City Council
nor any other civic body has seen fit to
provide for his entertainment, and those
in authority have even gone so far as to
make laws that prohibit him from setting
off dynamite or cute little giant Are
crackers. He can't even shoot a toy pistol
in hl3 companion's face, and if he fires
skyrockets onto Homebody's roof the big
cop's likely to get him. Of course there
will be less arnica and fewer bandages
used, but! what's the Fourth of July for
If it isn't to get hurt?

JULY 4, 1861.
For Celebration of That Date Sirs.
Ann Elizabeth Bills Sewed
Banner.
The Fourth of Julv JJ1 ,
ful new flag unfurled taPortHmd whTt
a small place then whl? ngs and
many other things were not Vrocrab,e
by the pioneers. A flag was wZTbut
At this time there was an Irish f,rn
roan. Thomas Stanford, employed by fhe
late Cincinnati Bills, husband of Mr,
Ann Elizabeth Bill. Stafford, who was
anxious to see a flag raised upon that
Fourth of Ju,y Bueated tQ "at
that she make a flag and he assisted
her in procuring material. The stripes
.LTV"1 Whit Were d from S
fiK, known "all-wool delaine" and
attached was a material familiar to a
past generation as "French merino"
Mr. Bills and Stafford cut a young flr
tree upon a spot near where the Southern
Pacinc car shops now stand on the East
Side the bark was cut away and they
carried the tree home to be used as the
staff for the flag which Mrs. Bills had
in the making. When finished It carried
the 34 stars that composed the Union at
that time.
A celebration and dinner were given
by the late Henry Oreen and his partner
iMr. Leonard. The long table was placed
diagonally across the block bounded by
Fourth, Fifth "R" and "C" streets and
upon It were the good things from the
homes of mi those 30 housewives who
came with their families from far and
near.
No happier Fourth of July has ever
been celebrated In Portland than that of
jsfil. The hand of good-fellowship was
extended to. all and the Stars and Stripes
floated above the heads of those. royal

Anglers Grumble at Disfosition ol
.License Money, Though.
Almost everybody in the city seems to
he in a fishing humor this season. When
the County Clerk's office closed last night
the total number of fisherman's licenses
issued was 2oiK and applicants for per
mits were trying to get into the office
after it closed.
The total for the day was 220, which
indicates that the hot weather is arous
ing interest in fly-casting circles. The
Issue of yesterday holds the record and
Ieputy County Clerk Schneider was kept
In a perspiration all day handling the
rush.
General satisfaction with the law is not
expressed .by fishermen. The provision
that only 75 trout may be caught in a
single day and that all trout which fail
to measure up to six inches must be
thrown back Is applauded by all. But
the idea of the license money going to
support deputy game wardens is what
galls. In effect, tne fishermen are pay
ing to have themselves watched and most
of them are grumbling more or less. They
say they would willingly pay the $t
license or even double that amount if the
tfioney were spent in propagating fish and
game.
COUNTY BUSINESS GROWS

East Side Business Men Xot to Ob

There will.be no obstruction to the
erection of the new Courthouse on the
present site from the East Side Busi
ness Men's Club. F. A. Dunham, chair
man of the committee appointed to cir
culate the petitions to get a vote on
the question of locating the Courthouse
on the East Side, said yesterday:
Arter lull consideration we have decided
not to push the circulation of the petitions
for a vote on the location of the Court
J1i?u.!'e We found that the sentiment was
that the public buildings should be kept to
gether, and further. I am opposed to tearing
down one part of the city for the upbuild
ing of another portion of the city. We could
have secured enough signatures to nie our
petition, but the best we could do would
have been to hold up the erection of the
Courthouse for two years. That would have
been obstruction. However, it may be said
that a considerable number favored securlnK
a vote, as the petitions Indicated
Trayers for Rain Xot Necessary.

Kev. H. Oberg and Judge T. F. Kyan
Among Speakers Xext Ses
sion for Women.
In his address yesterday afternoon at
the exercises held by Evening Star
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, in the
hall on the Section Line road. Rev H
Oberg defined "True Patriotism" 'as
that patriotism that does not sacrifice
the public good for mere self. He con
tended the highest type of patriotism
was found not only on the Fourth of
July, but every day and at all times,
in good citizenship, which at all times
considered the public good. Rev. Mr.
Oberg said the true mother In the" care
of her children was a true patriot,
and further that true patriotism was
at all times willing to suffer and die
for the country.
Thomas F. Ryan. ex-County Judge,
of Oregon City, said the real patriots
were the farmers In the country, and
especially, he declared, the Patrons of
Husbandry, as an organization, stood
for the highest type of good citizen
ship. Judge Ryan spoke of the things
the farmers' order had accomplished in
this state for the general good in fram
ing and adopting the initiative and
referendum law against strongest op
position. In closing his address Judge
Ryan said:
"The farmer is an educated citizen.
He is no- longer regarded as a legiti
mate object of ridicule. The newspa
pers no longer print grotesque car
toons of the farmer as an ignorant
hayseed, for he has become educated
and ranks among the most intelligent,
best informed and most patriotic cit
izens we have in this country. The
politician no longer regards the farmer
as his prey."
A varied programme of music and
recitation in connection with the ad
dresses was rendered. A large num
ber of O. A. C. students were present,
and they added much to the interest
of the' occasion by their songs and
comic recitations. The exercises were
under the charge of Mrs. H. L. Vail,
as lecturer, and were considered among
the best of the year. The master,
J. J. Johnson, welcomed the visitors,
who had. come from all over the state
to see the degree work given in the
forenoon and hear the patriotic pro
gramme in the afternoon. About 200
members of the order were present.
It was announced by Mrs. Vail that
at the meeting , in August the day
would be "Women's Day" and that the
exercises would be in the hands of
women only, but that men might be
present, and listen.
WILL HAVE HALF-HOLIDAY
Sunnyside and Mount Tabor Grocers
to Clowe Stores oon Thursdays.
Effective July 8 and continuing until
September 1. the grocers and merchants
of Sunnyside and Mount Tabor and vicin
ity have agreed to have a weekly half
holiday. Between the dates named these
merchants will close their stores for the
day on every Thursday at noon. The
custom of having a half-holiday in the
middle of fhe week for this class of em
ployers and employes is quite common In
the Eastern states.' Inasmuch as it is
impractical for them to close on Satur
day afternoons, the East Side merchants
feel that they are entitled to an outing
at some other time. An effort will bo
made to have the West Side merchants
follow suit and observe the same half
holiday during the Summer months.
