WE CELEBRATED.
The glorious Fourth was ushered
in at Toledo Wednesday morning
by the booming of artillery manip
ulated by Gunners Sam Owen and
Clarence Altree of Light Battery Q.
Every state and territory received a
salute; also Porto Rico, Hawaii.
Guam and the Philippines, with a
few thrown in for future acquisi
tions possibly Canada, Mixico and
Cuba and then it began to rain.
Plenty of artillery music will pro
duce rain every clatter in Oregon.
The plan has been known to fail in
Nebraska and Kansas. So have
the crops. But we're wandering
from home approaching again the
celebrated nightmare country.
But it did rain not vigorously,
but just enough to keep several
hundred persons away from Toledo
and- disarrange the plans for the
. forenoon program. Open air exer
cises were out of the question, and
the band showed the way to the
courthouse and the crowd soon filled
the circuit court-room to its capac
ity. .The program Was somewhat
marred by the hurried change of
plans, but it was a good time while
it lasted. The entrance of a com
pany of little girls representing the
states and displaying the national
colors was the signal for the baud,
and "Hail, Columbia," burst forth
with its i old-time force arid effect.
The band was in evidence fre
quently. When the little breaks in
the program were encountered, the
band boys came to the rescue. An
earnest invocation by Rev. C. M.
r-Jfwu was followed by' the reading
' ' of the Declaration of Independence
by Hon. R. A. Bensell. Mr. Ben
sell is an artist at that difficult but
essential task, and' is always in
demand. The oration by Hon. E
H. Belknap is declared by old resi
dents' to have been the best ever
heard in Toledo. It was a real
Fourth of July oration laden with
facts and ringing vyith patriotism.
The .audience "warmed" to the
. speaker readily, and the latch-string
of Lincoln county will always be
visible and in working order when
the eloquent farmer of Benton
county arrives. Mr. Belknap is also
a singer and led the national an
them, "America."
In the afternoon the weather was
more agreeable, and the athletic
contests occurred according to pro
gram, i
The i oo-yard foot race was won
by Willie Simpson of Elk City. Joe
Turnidge gave him a hard chase for
75 yards, but couldn't go the
distance.
The 3oo-yard mule race was
landed by Tom Williams or rather
by his mule, with Tom up.
Edith Mickelson captured the
foot race for girls under 16. Edith
isn't very big, but she cau run like
a Dakota prairie fire.
The sack race was also captured
by Willie Simpson. Stony Wells
t looked like a winner, but jumped
out of his sack and went through
en dishabille that's French lor
"not in it," you know.
The standing high jump was won
by Paris Parks after a spirited con
test. No measurements were taken,
but it couldn't have been over
eleven feet.
The running broad jump was one
of the- warmest events of the day,
and was finally landed by Joe Turn
idge. The track was heavy and no
records were broken.
The slow horse race was won by
Sailor Bob's horse, with Jay Van
Cleve up. Jay's horse, ridden by
is. ' '
Sailor Bob, didn't understand the
thing and rushed through as if ex
pecting a feed of oats at the finish.
There were three entries in the
double scull race, consisting of Joe
Shermer and George Lewis, Frank
Fogarty and Jesse Reeder,-Billy
Ford and Clarence Altree. Shermer
and Lewis won rather easily. Fo
garty and Reeder hung on man
fully, but were handicapped by an
inferior boat. Ford and Altree
quit before the turning stake was
reached. Clarence belongs to the
band and was blown out before the
start.
George Lewis was also a winner
of the single scull, but the previous
pull had weakened him, and Fred
Bichser gave him a hard chase. '
The tug-of-war between a team
composed of Newport and Yaquina
giants on one side and Toledo on
the other was won by the former.
It was an exciting struggle.
The greased-pig chase was a
rather tame affair. The spectators
crowded in and didn't give the pig
a little bit of a chance", and the
narrow street and Joe Turnidge did
the rest. S'noutrage!
A better natured and better-behaved
crowd never graced a Fourth
of July celebration. Only two or
three were drunk enough to be con
spicuous, and they were very happy
and inoffensive. One of the num
ber was an underdone youth who
probably had merely, dreamed he'd
been imbibing. It is almost safe to
say Toledo beat the nation on that
day for good order and sobriety.
The day closed with fireworks in
various places and a dance at Thiel
hall.'
The larger number of visitors
came from up the river, owing to
the threa'ting weather on the lower
bay. The RichaTdson brought up
only a few passengers. The launch
Too Few',: Captain Lentden, also
brought too ' few from below, and
the morning train did likewise. The
Ruth brought about forty from Elk
City.-,
The celebration was a success,
considering the weather,, and all
present seemed thankful that it was
no worse aud generously over
looked the little flaws.
The next big event . will be the
county fair. Save .up your big
beets and things.
Was.it a Miracle?
"The marvellous cure of Mrs.
RenaJ. Stout of Consumption has
created intense excitement in Cam
mack, Ihd," writes Marion Stuart,
a leading druggist of Muncie, Ind.
"She only weighed go pounds when
her doctor in York town said she
must soon die. Then she began to
use Dr. King's New Discovery and
gained 37 pounds in weight and
was completely cured." It hascured
thousands of hopeless cases, and is
positively guaranteed to cure all

1 White Man Turned Yellow.
Great consternation was felt by
the friends of M. A. Hogarty of
Lexington, Ky., when they saw he
was turning yellow. His skin slowly
changed color, also his eyes, and he
.suffered terribly.' His malady was
Yellow Jiundice. He was treated
by the best doctors, but without
benefit. T-hen he was advised to
try Electric Bitters, the wonderful
stomach and liver remedy, and he
writes: "After taking two bottles
I was wholly cured." A trial proves
its matchless merit for all stomach,
liverand kidney troubles. Only 50c.

During last May an infant child
of our neighbor was suffering from
cholera infantum. The doctors had
given up all hopes of recovery. I
took a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy to the house, telling them I felt
sure it would do good if used ac
cording to directions. . In two days
time the child had lully recovered.
The child is now vigorous and
healthy. I have recommended this
remedy frequently and have never
known it to fail. Mrs. Curtis Baker,

A Good Cough Medicine.
Many thousands have been re
stored to health and happiness by
the use of Chamberlain's Couh
Remedy. If afflicted with any
throat or lung trouble, give it a trial
for it is certain to prove beneficial.
Coughs that have resisted all other
treatment for years, have yielded to
this remedy and perfect health been
restored. Cases that seemed hope
less, that the climate of famous
health resorts failed to benefit, have
been permanently cured by its use.

FARMERS IN SESSION.
The Lincoln County Farmers As
sociation met in Toledo last Friday.
There was a good attendance and
an interest . manifested that augurs
well for the future of the associa
tion. ' ,
The meeting was called to ordef
by Vice President James McDonald..
The usual routine business occu
pied the early part of the session.
A committee of three, consisting
of J. W. Parrish, Hans Olson and
O. E. Rache reported the following
as a' part of the constitution:
"The object of this association
shall be the discussion and promo-,
tion of farming, fruit culture and
stock raising in all their phases,
and for the mutual advancement,
entertainment and- protection of all
classes directly interested in agri
culture." Adopted.
It was decided to hold a county
fair at Toledo this fall, and the
following motion by Mr. Nash car
ried by a'unanimous vote:
"That the executive committee
be empowered to consittiie a special
fair committee, formed of one mem
ber from each of the four main
districts of the county and three
others, representative respectively
of stock raising, fruit culture and
general farm products, with power
to constitute sub-committees fotr
any pin-pose. 'That the fair com
mittee shall set the date and make
general arrangements for the de
tails of the fair."
The following paid , the constitu
tional membership fee of 25 cents:
Wallis Nash, F. M. Wadswortb,
E.J.Norton, J. H. Lutz, G. J.
Crosby, Peter Schirmer, James
jjciis.il, j. w. jvaupism aim a, Vt
Stout.'
A committee of three, consisting
of Wallis Nash, II. Olson and P.
Schirmer, was appointed to see
members of the- press -and solicit
their presence. ' . -
At the afternoon session the fol
lowing officers were elected by ac
clamation: James McDonald, pres
ident; J. W. Parrish, vice presi
dent; F. M. Wadsworth, secretary
treasurer. Jixecutive committee
John McClusky, Wallis Nash, E.J.
Norton, II . Olson and Gust Fors
sell. Interesting talks were made by
Messrs. Nash, Norton, Olson, Kau
pisch and Schirmer. Mr. Nash
exhibited and submitted to test
some cheese of his own tnanufa.:-.
ture. Owing to enforced absence
The Leader can give only the ex-,
pressed opinion of more fortunate
citizens: Mr. Nash produces a high-,
grade article.
The following committee on pro
gram was appointed for the next
meeting, due notice of which will
be given in The Leader: I M,
Wadsworth, Gust .Forssell, T. W.
Parrish, E.J. Norton. Wallis Nash.
We are indebted for this brief
account of the meeting to the notes
of the efficient secretary-treasurer.
It is needless to state that the press
is heartily in sympathy with the
Farmers' Association. F'armersare
readers, and their interests are the
printer's. This is true of every
branch of business, and every
citizen of the county should be an
enthusiastic supporter of the fair
proposition nnd all other work of
the association. The Leader in-i
vites the association to make free
use df its columns on any and all
occasions.
