IN" THE MORJtrXQ the crowd restlessly wandered hither and thither, riding on the merry-go rund, buying from the many stands, the public square and adjoining streets being well filled.

The Albany quartet were loudly applauded. Miss iulia Taylor read the time honored declaration of indepen dence well. The jtavillo quartet of Monmouth greatly pleased the audience with a popular song. Judge McFadden, orator of the day, spoke for half an hour, delivering a patriotic oration of merit with fine elocutionary effect. It was a credit to the day. at home, in hotels, restaurants, halls, from lunch baskets, from everywhere, people ate, just as they do every day, only with more confusion, a little faster, but with an enormous appetite. ATHUmC AND FANTASTIC. At 1 :30 o'clock the platform on the court house square was surrounded by eeveral thousand people. A live enter tainment of an hour and a half was given. The Navillo quartet of Mon mouth and the Albany quartet, both composed of fine singers, were beard several times. The main attraction was the athletic exhibitions of Prof. Oviatt, trainer of the Multnomah athletic club, and Charley Chamberlain. They did eorae fine tumbling, performed on the horizontal bar and on the parallels, with young Chamberlain as clown. The work was expert and clean, rarely equal ed by amateurs. John Talt and Kobt Chambers, o( this city, also did some good tumbling, club swinging and closed wih a very live tour round boxing ex hibition, of a scientific character, both men displaying proficiency. The Taylor nisters of Portland appeared twice in nome artistic dancing, bright, nimble toed girls, with sweet faces and pleasing demeanor. People- generally declared this program a fine icature of the cele bration. MEXICAN TILTISG. There we-e seven entries in the con test among horsemen. Each man had fire chances, at the rings. Following was tbe result: Mr. uurrall l, Miss timales of the size of the crowd. Really we doubt if the ciiy has ever had a big ger one. Perhaps there were 6,000 from outside of Albany. A 4th of July crowd is like the height of a balloon ascension . People say Prof Haeal went up all the way from 400 feet to over 2,000 feet. The merry-go-round took in $342 on celebration day. It run steadily except during the exhibition of the plug ng- gnes. mat was the only thing ttat stopped it. iiie prize ior tne oest urait team was given to Air Pete Kile v.

Co. arrived borne at 3 o'clock this morning on a special train from the summer's encampment at Fort Jackson, Hood River, State of Oregon, U.S. A. The members report a regular arm v ex perience without the fighting. There was no blood shed, but there was army grub, army discipline and close confine ment. Tbe members of the Albany com pany conferred credit on the gem city of the valley. Only one member was in the guard honse, and he only from pot knowing a pass word. His confinement was only a few moments. Tbere were about 1S00 men in camp and hundreds of visitors. Three or four hundred tents made quite a town. Yesterday the Wester Oregon companies arrived in Portland at 11 o'clock aqd helped out the celebration, marching until tbe men were tired out. The men are sun burned and looked the better off for tbe exper ience. It didn't take verv much to get in the guard house, as will be shown by the close call General Bee be himself bad as told by an ex.. his experience being somewhat like that of tbe Albany man : "Wednesday night was the first night of close camp '(that is tbe first night a ctnnterfign wa required to pass tbe line) and Corporal Dean Shnll was cor poral of the guard. The brigade com mander, General Beebe, bad been in specting the camp after "taps," and, while returning to hu quarters, was baited by a sentinel and required to rive tbe countersign before bing allowed to cross tne line. The general had forgot ten th pitswoid, so the sentinel held him and called the corporal of the guard who was Corporal Shull. The general was unable to give a satisfactory expla nation of bis presence wubout the coun tersign to the corporal, so tbe corporal pia-ed him under arrest and, at the point of a bayonet, started with him for tbe Fuard house. The general was saved this ignominy only by the timely arrival of the officer of the guard. Santa Paula, Calif., Jane 30, '97. Dxab Democrat: It has been four years since I came to this state from Oregon. I have often thought I would write a short letter to the Democrat as it has al ways followed me, thus keeping me posted in regard to matters in and around the city of Albany. It is always welcome 1 cordially and is looked over the first of the many papers we receive This is a great country. A land of snnshineand flowers. The climate ia all that could be desired. It has bad tbe happy effect of restoring Mr. Stew art to complete health. Were it not for the perfect health that we all enjoy we would prefer the Willamette valley for a home. We miss the cherries and straw berries and have learned tat oranges and apricots do not take their places. Our town ia 65 miles not tb west of Los Angeles in tbe Santa Clara valley of the south. This is the most productive val ley we have aeen in Southern California, It ia the great bean producing country of California; tbe Lima bean nourishes here as in no other country in the world, Mr. Dixy Thompson grows eighteen hundred acre in a single year. Oranges, lemons, apricots, peaches, apples, figs, prunes, pears, a1 moods, En glish walnnU, etc, also Boorish ia oar valley. The largest lemon orchard in the world is situated near Santa Paula. It contains four hundred acres ard baa sixty five thousand seven hundred and fifty trees. The Santa Par la lemons and orange command tbe highest prices in the eastern market, A former Albany boy, Frank Stewart, has a position at the above mentioned lemon farm. It was a mistake as stated in a former number of your paper that be was at Ls Angeles "in a restaurant and that he had been to see the Corbet and Fiusimmont fight. He bas never been to Loa Angele. neither bad he any intention of going to see tbe fight as stated. He has a good postion aa lemon ricker and is doing well. Occasionally I see some one from Albany when at Lfs Angeles. Some tetters from Oregon sak if it is not very warm here. Well, no. 1 have not seen what might be called a warm day this season, the mercury scarcely ever rise above 90 at d after 6 p.m. we always feel like donning our heavy clothing. We are only eighteen miles from tbe ocean, farther ia the interior it is very warm at times. California is a peculiar country. We have all kinds of climate durins all seasons of the year, it differs according to elevaUon and distance from tbe ocean. J. F. Stewart. Hammond's Doings: Tangent. Tasge-vt, July 6, 1897.

From tbe Badft: Tbe filing of tbe deed a few dava by which the Flavcl Iand & Develop ment uo. transfers to Mr. A. 15. Ham mond tne title to a long stretch of water front property, com prising about 2.000 acres, at Flavel is of great significance in showing what is being done toward bringing important enterprise to tbe mouth of the river. For sometime ef forts bsve been made to induce tbe North Psciffc Elevator Co., tbe Ladd Flouring Mills and Balfour.UnLhne A Co. to move their plants to ibis point. It is now learned upon what is considered reliable authority that with the execution of the above deed, contracts were entered into between Mr. Hammond and these par ties, where sites are furnished tbem free of cost and tbey in tarn agree to erect tbeir plants as soon as the railway is completed. All tbe above are Portland firms but tbty realize that with tbe building of the road export business must leave the inland village and come to a point nearer tbe sea.
