' SHAM BATTLE TO BE THE; BESTQN,RECOflD The sham battle to be fought hi. afternoon some time after 2 o'clock the Irvlngton Drlvlna Park in.ihk.Mt., for the benefit of the Heppner sufferers, win Da the most accurate and spectac ular event of Ita kind In the hlstorv oi Portland. Military men who know their ouainess tnoroughly, and who have had experience, have given time and pains to the preparation of this niece nt mimic warrare. and both n desla-n and execution if will be theoretically cor rect. The entire area of the driving park ill be surrendered to the use of kh soiaiers as a field of battle, and. as in the days of actual warfare, bqtb reg ulara and volunteers will flaht side hv side, a detachment of the Nineteenth In fantry and the entire Twenty-sixth Bat tery, from Vancouver Barracks, par ticipating with the Oreaon National uuard in the engagement. Kvery feature of the sham battle will be in plain view from the Brand stand at the north aide of the course. The disposition of the troops for attack ana aeiense win be as follows: A Sandbag rort. ai me northeast extremity of the park a sand-bag fortification haa been erected to serve as the proverbial "last ditch" of the defending party. In echo- ion, protecting this position, three .bat teries have been planted, the outermost being near the northwest corner of the grounds. The attacking force will be drawn up on the south side of the field. aid will be under command of MaJ. von KkIoIT ateln. . It Will consist six companies ot Infantry and three- batteries of ar tillery. The defending force will bo commanded by MaJ. McDonell. At the opening of the attack the com bined artillery fire of the assaulting force will be directed against the ex treme outpost of the defenders, which will reply with spirit. A skirmish line will be pushed forward and musketry will Join in tho firing. Gradually the defenders will be forced back to their second line of defense, where a more stubborn contest will be made. Hers an assault will occur and tho captured guns will be turned upon the third and last position before, the followers of MaJ. McDonell enter their fort. After the defenders hnve been forced within their fortlflcat:ons a grand ar tillery duel will take place, the com bined fire of both the original cannon of the attackers and the guns they have captured being directed against the sand-bag position. From three sides me DPBiegers will close In toward the fortifications snd a final storming party will overrun the works. Band Concert Also. Before the bottle the Nineteenth In- ro.ui.ry a.i.a win piay a concert In the grand stand. Aiinougn a drizzling rain fell durfng ine morning, u was early announced by Col. Everett tliat climatic rigors would riot in any way interfere with the military program arranged for the bene fit of the Heppner sufferers. The military parade started from the Armory of the Third Regiment Infantrv. Oregon Notional Guard, at 1:15 o'clock this afternoon, proceeding along the fol lowing route to Irvlngton: Along Eleventh street to Washington, on Washington to Third, along Thlrl to the steel bridge, thence north along ln ion avenue to the Irvlngton track. The procession was made up of the following: Col. E. Everett and start. Third Regiment Band. First Battalion. Third Regiment In fantry, Oregon National Guard, com manded by MaJ. von Egloffstein. Second Battalion, commanded by MaJ McDonell. Hospital detachment, commanded by Hospital Steward Bodley. Ught Battery A. Orea-on Natlonnl .Guard. Capt. Welch commanding. XJlltary Ceremony and Baoaa. The military- section of the program at Irvlngton track will begin at . 2 : JO o'clock, the ceremony of escorting the I'p to 1 o'clock today there hr.d been no sccldents of any kind reported. Re ports received at police headquarters were to the effect that a good many reckless celebrators were abroad on the streets, snd tha patrolmen were com pelled In many Instances to force them to desist from further esreiesa ana dangerous practices. Last night Tom Rysn and Sim Foster were Injured. Foster was shot in tne leg with a bullet thought to have been fired from a 12 pistol. His wound Is not serious, however. Rysn will lose his right hand as the result of picking up a large bomb, which exploded at hla touch. Rynn was standing at the corner of Third and Stark streets snd waa enjoy ing the booming of the giant fire crackers and bombs. Some one threw a large one Into the street. It fissled for a time, and then appeared to go out. Ryan ran and grasped it. and aa he did so. It exploded with terrific force, shat tering hla right hand, and tearing the ends off his fingers.. He wss removed to St Vincent's Hospital, where Dr. Louis Bbck attended to hla Injuries. . 81m Foster, who earee for the billiard tables at the Arlington Club, waa shot In the right leg by a bullet, probably from a 22 pistol, as he waa . walking down Washington street last night. Who fired It Is not known. The Injured man was removed at once to the club rooms, where Dr. K. A. J. McKenile at tended him. His wound wss not ser ious, but It caused the police to look the more sharply for persons carrying weapons tf a dangeroua character. It would have required about five patrol wagons last night and today to carry all the drunks to the police sta tion, but as It was owing to the celebra tion of the glorious Fourth that caused so many to Imbibe too freely of the vintage, the police were very lenient No one was arrested who kept within the bounds of decency, that Is, those who did not commit some act that would class them as disorderly. Since 'O'clock last night, only It drunks have been arrested, an I 12 of those were turned loose this morning by Chief Hunt. The patrol wagon was ept very busy, making numerous runs to the celebrated box 22 In the North End district. Chief Hunt disliked to cause any one to be locked up ovef the celebration. nd as soon as tne prisoners oecame sufficiently sober to care for themselvea, they were released. 1 ' Tires Were tacking. Notwithstanding the efforts of the patriotic youngster to make the Fourth of July a holiday of his own peculiar style, there were very few fires last night and today, and the total loss was nominal. Alarms were not Infrequent, but the roofs, through the friendly and timely Interefrence of the weather, were in nearly all cases only scorched. The first alarm that reached the de partment was for a fire In the Alpine Fiats, on the northeast corner of Fourth and Morrison streets. A ball' from a Roman candle, which rivals the sky rocket as a flre-mlsslle. shot Into a room about 9:10 o'clock last night, and a still alarm was sent In. The timely arrival of the fire engines prevented any ser ious damages. Between 10 and 11 o'clock there were roof fires at Third and Clay streets. Sixth and Everett' streets and Sll Everett street. In each cose the dam age was nominal. This morning an alarm was turned in from box 217 for a fire on East Stark street, between East Eighth and East Ninth. A stray -skyrocket had landed on the roof of a dwelling owned by A. WJshard. and flames started immed iately. The blase was extinguished In a few minutes, and the damage did not exceed J20. Whlatlea blew, bells rang, guns fired, excursions started, the small boy had his fingers burned and the little girls their dresses scorched. Firecrackers, torpedoes snd every thing that would make a noise snd cause sufficient concussion to draw the mois ture from tha aky were brought into use. The parade of the soldier boys was carried out to the letter. The regular troops from Vancouver Barracka arrived on time and participated In the proces sion, Tha regatta of the Portland Rowing Club waa conducted frora Morrison street bridge. There were very few aeeldenta. This Afternoon's Program. Horaa racing at Irvlngton Park as sooe aa parade ia over. Tske Irvlngton or .Vtoodlawn ears. Shant battle after tha racee at Irvlna- ton Park.

Previous to that hour there was a steady stream of people at the delivery window, and many an anxious one appeared to be made happy by receiving a letter from home. But when the clock was upon the stroke of 10, the windows were closed and the stream, which was still steady, ceased its onward movement and then turned back. 'Durn these new-fangled notions! The postofflce used to keep open till noon in the old times," grumbled a time- worn pioneer. "They keep open till 3 o'clock In the Fast." grunted a young man. who evi dently expected a remittance or a letter from his sweetheart, and was disap pointed even before making Inquiry. Homme: commented a woman who was one of the 60 ladles lined up before the various windows, and "horrible" was echoed all through the corridor, but principally by those who were near he front when the blinds were drawn down. The postofflce clerks might have held the same opinion, but they refrained from expressing It. They told the people that the orders were to close at 10 o'clock, and orders had to be obeyed. Formerly the office closed at noon, but recently the heads of the department at Washington decided that 10 o'clock was the proper closing hour on legal holidays, and all postmasters were or dered to shut their windows at that time. As this Is the first year the rule has been In force and bult Tittle publicity nas Deen given It. many who thought the office would be open until noon and who were late In arriving, were dlsap pointed. INDEPENDENCE DAY AT SALEM CARNIVAL SALEM. July 4 The Greater Salem Bummer Carnival will wind up tonight with Independence Day celebration. after a moat auccrssful run of one week the attendance throughout having been far beyond the expectations of the pro moters or the enterprise.

July 4 Oothara. despite her undoubted patriotism, is content to leave the celebration of Independence Day In the hands of Young America. FUtrlotio exercises and speech-making are no longer In order, the only excep tion being the celebration under the auspices of Tammany Hall, which atill clings to the old custom of having a monster outdoor rally with a flood of patriotic oratory. The public generally, however, likes best to enjoy its holiday In a quiet way and as far aa possible for the small boy and his firecrackers. The day falling on Saturday this year gave an excellent opportunity to those engaged In business to take a run out of town for a few daye' vacation. That countless thousands took advantage 'of the opportunity is evidenced by the Sabbath quiet prevailing in the down town district grid ths .record-breaking business done by steamboat lines which ply between the metropolis and the nearby resorts of Long Island, Con necticut and New Jersey.
