Centennial Celebration.
The citizens of tlds county cele
brated the one-hundredth anniver
sary of the signing of the Declara
tion of Independence with becom
ing spirit. Some of them went to
Portland, others formed small pic
nic excursions in shady reatreats in
their own neighborhoods, while at
Gaston and Hillsboro larger gather
ings and more pretentious celebra
tions were made. We shall speak
more particularly of the Hillsboro
celebration as the others are suffici
ently described elsewere.
Here there was made no special
exertion and but little preparation
for a formal celebration, as it
was intended in the first place to
be nothing more than a picnic with
out any of the exercises usually at
tending the commemoration of the
national birth-day. Cut a day or
two before the Fourth an orator was
bespoken, a reader of the Decla ra
tion was engaged and the newly or
ganized brass-band at this place was
persuaded to discourse music for the
public benefit.
At an early hour on the Fourth
the people began to come in from
the country and villages and by 11
o'clock it was estimated that 1,000
people were on the grounds, which
number exceeded the most sanguine
expectations considering the near
ness of Portland and the other cele
brations and excursions in the coun
ty. The Park grounds, always beau
tiful, were doubly enchanting when
thus peopled with the men, women
and children fresh from our rustic
and healthful homes.
At eleven o'clock the assembly
was called to order and Mr. T. H.
Tongue was elected Chairman who
opened the exercrses with a few well
timed remarks. H. B. Morgan the
newly elected Sheriff offered up an
excellent and patriotic prayer, after
which Dr. F. A. Bailey read the
Declaration of Independence eo elo
quently, that, altho' so familiar to
every citizen, he gave it new fresh
ness and originality. Ex-Governor
Gibbs followed in oration full of
historical facts,common sense, sound
philosophy and logical deductions,
free from the spread-eagle rhetoric
too common on these occasions.
Messrs. Hopkins, Warren, Honsyk,
Anderson, Guild and Thomas, of the
Hilsboro bras3-band, played "Hail
Columbia ""Yankee Doodle " "The
Star Spangled Banner," "The Bed,
White and Blue," and other patriot
ic airs at appropriate intervals do
ing thesmelves great credit wbenitis
it is considered that they had just
bought their instruments three weeks
before. Some remark was made in
criticism of the non-action of the
meeting for not thanking Mr. Gibbs
and the band for their services bat
we think that it was just as well that
it was not done. The close atten
tion and evident interest of the as
sembly in the oration which was
the best Fourth of July oration we
have heard and the music, was a
much better acknowledgement of
their merits than any formal vote of
thanks could possibly have been in
our humble estimation.
After the celebration exercises
were'done a meeting was called by
ex-Gov. Gibbs of which H. B. Mor
gan was chosen chairman and Biley
Cave secretary, and arrangements
were made to hold a celebration on
the Hillsboro Park grounds on July
4th, 1877. It was voted that a com
mittee of two from each precinct be
appointed of which H. B.Morgan was
to be chairman. Also, it was moved
that a committee of five be appoint
ed (the names of the committee will
be found in another column) in ac
cordance wiih the joint resolution
of Congress proclaimed by the Pres
ident, in June, 1876, to collect sta
tistics and write a historical sketch
of Washington County and publish
the same in the Washington Inde
pendent and file a copy containing
eaid history in the office of the Coun
ty Clerk, and that a report of these
proceedings be furnished the Inde
pendent for publication.
After the exercises were over the
people gathered about the neat Ut
ile plank tables that sUod at conve
nient places over the grounds, and
ate their last Centennial dinner.
The Bain.
The shower that fell on last Sun
day will be of great benefit to late
spring crops and gardens. The sky
is clear again and the air is sweet
with new mown hay and ocians of
flowers.
It is reported that there were 700
people from Washington ceanty
at the Portland centennial e$)fr
tion.
SEEING THE CENTENNIAL
Estimate of a Month's Visit.
From the New York Tribune.)
"How long will it take to see every
thing thoroughly?" the reader may
ask. At least a month, and the time
will be well spent, too. At its con
clusion you will be familliar with the
best arts and industries of the entire
globe. The coat of a month's stay
in Philadelphia, with daily visits
to the exhibition, will be as follows,
should the visitor practice such
economy as is not inconsistent with
comfort and the object of his visit:
Itoom in private house 1 month $25 00
Two meals at 50 eta. each 30 00
Dinners on ground 75cts each 22 00
30 admissions to exnibitions 50 cts . 1" 00
Street car fares 5 50
Evening amusements. 10 0t
Incidentals 15 CO
Total $122 50
By taking regular board in a board
ing house or small hotel, the cost
can be brought down from $77 50
to HO or $50 and perhaps to $30.
A week's stay at a first-class hotel
and daily visit to the fair may be es
timated to cost as follows:
Bonrcl seTen ihij at $5 per day. . .$35 00
Admission to exhibition 3 00
Car fare 1 50
Incidentals 5 00
Total $41 00
The maximum price for hotel
board is $5 per day. There are
plenty excellent houses where the
charge is from $3 to $4 and in many
good, comfortable hotels it is as low
as $2 or $2 50. Boarding-houses
charge from $6 a week and up for a
room and meals. At the Granger's
encampment, about seven miles out
on the line of Pennsylvania railroad.
rooms in rough, shed-liks structures
are furnished for 50 ct?. a niht.
and meals at equally moderate price.
In short, there are all kinds of prices
for all kinds people, just as in other
cities, where there is no world's fair.
Philadelphia and Vienna.
The Philadelphia Leihjer publish
es a table showing the comparative
number of visitors during the first
thirteen days at the International
Exhibitions at Vienna, 1873, and at
Philadelphia, 187G. The Vienna
figures commence with the first day
at the regular price; the first four
days, at high prices, when very few
people attended, are omitted. Sun
days are also omitted in Vienna fig
ures :

The Philadelphia figures are from

excluded.) It will be seen that the
pay visitors to the American Inter
national Exhibition are more than
three times as numerous, thus far,
as those to the Vienna Exposition
during the corresponding period.
California Wheat Crop.
The San Francisco Bulletin of the
15th inst., has an extended statistic
al review of the Wheat and Barley
crop of 1870, vith the following
enormous aggregates:
Total acreage of wheat, 2.1G9.000
acres; yield in centals (100 lbs.) 24,
776,000; surplus for export abroad
in centals, 13,887,000.
Barley Acres, G13.000; yield in
centals, 10,006,000; surplus in cen
tals, 4,200,000.
Siriwberry Festival.
The strawberry and icecream festi
val given by the Ladies Working So
ciety of Forest Grove.on the evening
of June 27th, was a decided success,
the amount received being $.17. The
merabers of the society wish to thank
the choir for the music furnished.
One of the pieces, having been com
posed by one of the singers for the
occasion was very appropriate. They
would also acknowledge their obli
gation to their aged friends, Mr.
and Mrs. McMillen, who rendered
very efficient assistance; also, to
their young friends who decorated
the rooms very tastefully where the
refreshments were 6erved.
The Flood at Portland.
The flood has receded from Port
land, though the river is still bank
full and much cultivated land still
oveflowed. The shnibberry, shade
trees and flowers on many fine resi
dences in the lower part of town are
l-i11rl br hicrh water. A strong
stencn arises from that part of town
Many gardens which are lower than
the streets ore still full of water.

LETTER FROM PHILADELPHIA.
The Exposition as a Webfoot Sees It.
Philadelphia, June 12, 187G.
Editor Independent:
1 shall not attempt a description
of the Centennial exhibition, as you
have doubtless received it from va
rious sources long ago, but will give
you an account of some things that
might be of interesting to some of
your readers.
Oregon is represented in two build
ings. There are some fine specimens
of gold bearing quartz in the Gov
ernment building, also some rich
copper ore. But in the Agricultural
Hall Oregon makes the best display
of grains, of game and furs, of any
other State. In the building there
is also a good display of wood, and
shingles two feet in width. The
showing of flax both in seed and
lint, is ahead of any other State.
And thanks be to Messrs. Dufur,
Tappan and Byan, who take more
pains to bring more the products
of Oregon to the notice of the
people than any other commis
sioners in Agricultural Hall. Cal
ifornia, Washington Territory, Mas
sachusetts and New Hampshire are
in close proximity to Oregon's ex
hibits and if they have any commis
sioners they are never there to bring
the products of those States before
the people, while one or more of
ours are always on hand and in the
most obliging manner explain and an
swer questions asked concerning Or
egon and its resources. In fruits
and vegetables eve could excel all
others but are not represented in
these departments, while Massachu
setts with her small potatoes is crow
ing loudly under ourvery noses. If
some enterprising Oregonian would
send one of our thirty-seven pound
turnips, or four pound pears, to
the exhibition, the old Bay State
and all of her ilk would be com
pelled to draw in their horns, as far
as agriculture is concerned and fall
back on their manufacturing aad ed
ucational departments. In the!attei
Massachusetts makes the best show
ing of any other State. Among oth
er things in the school of Design
and Technology I noticed some as
tronomical photographs of eclipses
and the nebulae that were wonderful
ly perfect.
Of foreign nations Great Britain
aud Ireland "stand first in the full
ness and completeness of their dis
play. Everything is in position.
Pjussia is next. France and Austria
are considerably behind with their
work but will make a good showing
when completed.
In the Art Gallery, sometimes
called Memorial Hall, may be sen
the largest crowds. The building
is poorly ventilated but admirably
adapted to the display of paintings
and statuary. In thia department
Italy takes first rank. Among the
borrowed collections are some pro
ductions of the 01dMasters," such
as Titian and Michael Angelo. There
is Venus and the family of Darius at
the feet of Alexander the Great.
And a statuary of David, the last by
Michael Angelo, and the first two
by Titian. In this department the
lovers of the beautiful may feast
to their hearts content. The bnge
Corliss engine of 1400 horse power
drives nearly all of the machinery
of that building. Here the Wal
thara Watch Factory is in full blast
and an engine that runs by the ex
pansive force of flame instead of
steam, coal oil being put into the
cylinder and ignited, the expansive
force of name lorces out tne piston.
Its inventor claims that one gallon
of kerosene will run his engine of
one and a half-horse power for 12
hours and here where kerosene is
only eight or ten cents a gallon it is
a cheap motor power.
In Agncultural riail tne improve
ments of American manufacture ap
pear of a superior quality as com
pared with foreign manufacture.
While this is true ot agricultural im
plements, in the Main Building the
Foreign display of Mechanical and
Surgical implements is superior to
ours. Our neighbors across tne
Pacific. China aud Japan, make a
good display of birds, bugs and fish
es, silks ana porcelain ware. iu tut;
latter they would excel all others if
they bad only a better variety, near
ly everything being vases and jars,
of which there are tons The porce
lain manufacturers of Europe have
a better variety and equally fine
quality. Some paintings by our
ne "hbors over the water are on ex
hibition and everything whether it
is beast or bird, or Human iorm
divine." has a countenance peculiar
ly Mongolian. Even a peacock has
a"n almond-eved smile. China must
come up out of the depths if
they ever excel in painting or sculp
ture. There is one thing that I am
glad to see here and that is the long
faces of the landlords who keep the
new hotels near the Centennial
grounds. Their exorbitant charges
drove the boarders to private lodg
ings and the restaurants, or else
down town to the old hotels where
good board may be h id for less than
one ball asked near tne grounds.
But the difficulty of boarding down
town is transportation to and from
the grounds. Tne street cars lead
ine to and from the building are
p.
GREAT INDIAN FIGHT!
Gen- Caster killed!
315 Men Slaughtered t7 the Savages!
Salt Lake, July 5. A special cor
respondent from the Helena (Montana)-
Herald, writes under date Still
water, Montana, July 2d: Muggins
Taylor, scout for Gen. GiWbon, got
here last night direct from Little
Horn river.
Gen. Custer found the Indian
camp of about 2,000 lodges, on Little
Horn, and immediately attacked the
camp. Custer took five companies
and charged the thickest portion
of camp. Nothing is known of the
operation of this detachment, ouly
as they tracked it by the dead. Major
Reno commanded the other seven
companies and attacked the lower
portion of the camp. The Indians
poured in a murderous fire from all
directions, besidethe great portion
fought on horseback. Custer, his
two brothers nephew and his brother-in-law
were all killed aud not one of
hii detachment escaped. Two hun
dred and seven men were buried in
one place, and the killed is estimated
at three hundred, with only thirty
one wounded.
The Indians surrounded Reno's
command and held them one day in
Sill's cut offfrom water, until Gibbon's
command canie in sight, when they
broke camp in the night of the 7th.
They fought like tigers, and were
overcome by mere brute force. The
f Indians' loss cannot be estimated, as
they bore off most of their dead.
The remnant of the Seventh Cav
alry and Gibbons' command are re
turning to the mouth of Little Horn
where a steam boat lies. The In
dians got all the arms of the killed
soldiers. There were seventeen com
missioned officers killed. The whole
of the Custer family died at the head
of theii columns. The exact loss is
not known, as both the adjutant and
sergeant major were killed.
The Indian camp was from three
to four miles long and was twenty
miles up the Little Horn from its
mouth. The Indians actually pulled
men off their horses in some instan
ces. I give this as Tavlor told me
as he was over the field after the
battle.
The above is confirmed by other
letters, which say that Custer met
with a fearful disaster.
Salt Lake, July 5. The Times'
extra from Boseman. Montana, July
3d, 7 P. M.,says: Mr. Taylor bearer
cf dispatches from Litilo Horn to
Fort Ellis arrived this evening, and
records the following: The buttle
was fought on the 27th, 30 cr 40
miles below the Little Horn. Cus
ter attacked the Indian village, of
from 2,500 to 3,000 warriors on one
side and Col. Reno was to attack it
on the other. Three companies
were placed on a hill as a reserve.
Gen. Custer and 15 officers and
every mau belonging to the five com
panies were killed. Reno retreated
under the protection of the reserve.
The whole number killed was 315.
Gen. Gibbon joined Reno when the
Indians left. The battle ground
looked like a slaughter pen as it
really was, being in a narrow ravine.
Tho dead were much mutilated.
The situation now looks serious.
Gen. Terry arrived at Gibbon's
camp on a steamboat and crossed
his command over and accompanied
it to join Custer, who knew it was
coming before the fight occurred.
Lieut. Crittenden, son of Gen. Crit
tenden, was among the killed.
