The safe and Sana celebration' of July
' Votirth ia Portland has trained such
favor that It will likely b repeated on
a larger acale next rear.
The manner of celebration, namely, of
..holding- games and oontcsts with med
als to stimulate competition, drew the
children to places of safety and re
lieved the anxiety of their parents. It
attracted thousands of older persons to
wltnees the fames and thus Indirectly
served as a great popularising agency
for the pity parks. The prospect of the
' games and the music interested the
. children and, through them, the parents,
so that the play parks as places of
entertainment and diversion were
brought prominently beforo all the peo.
pie of the city. " -
iThe general fourth committee points
ont, also, that more general celebra
tion of Independence day obtained than
would have boen -possible through the
agency of fire works. Five thousand
children engaged In the games and 100,
000 older Individuals had a mora or less
, personal Interest in the outcome of
them.. The eiady places of the parks
meanwhile served as attractive picnic
grounds. ' -
'It Is believed that cooperation will be
forthcoming In preparation for next
year s program, and that plans for new
play grounds In accordance with Mayor
Rushlight's announced policy will be
popularly approved because of the proof
ol playground utility furnished by the
Fourth's manner of celebration.
.There were set programs of games
. and races last Tuesday at Bellwood,
Peninsula, Brooklyn, Columbia and
North parks, given under the ausnlces
of the park board and under the direc
tion of A. M. Grilley, play park director.
At Mt. Tabor games and music were
furnished In the beautiful park there
i under the auspices of the Tabor Heights
Improvement association. These cele
brations, it Is pointed out, did very
much to promote the community idea In
play park use. Children became better
acquainted and In a very happy way. So
did their elders. Continuance of the
policy and increase in the number of
parka will be a very valuable asset to
the city, it Is said.

- hs uler of Sweden shares with the
(rtnperor of Germany the distinction of
v Ming one of the mot versatile of llv-

of Sweden are under his Inspection. He
married, about thirty years ago, Princess

good sportsman and a splendid ahot.
1 He la regarded aa the nest tennis, play

won against all comers, and not those
who gladly lose a game to so lllus
trious a personage. '
King Oustave Is keenly Interested la
military . affairs. .. It was as a soJdlar
that he Introduced some of his future
subjects to his bride. "Gentlemen," he
said, "the colonel of the regiment de
sires to introduce his wife to the regl
ment." And ss the "colonel's wife the
queen of Sweden wes known for many
Ions year afterwards. Not without
reason has his majesty been called the
most democratic king in Europe. His
court is one of the most simple and
homely. The poorest of his subjects
may call and speak to their sovereign
with no more formality than the send
lng In of their names. An out-and-out
total abstainer, his majesty, during his
crown princely days, did much by force
of example to further the cause of tem
perance. Out of the five million in
habitants of his kingdom nearly three
quarters of a million are organised tee

ENGINEERS
t HAVE
BIG, PERSPIRING TIME
The stationary engineers of Portland
are getting ready for their third annual
fun fest." With their families and
their friends they will board the"eteam
er Joseph Kellogg at the foot of Sal
man street on the morning of July 10
and go to Golden Gate Park.
The committee on arrangements for
the day says that the program will be
funny. The committee Includes the fol
lowing men, well known among the en
glneers: F. V. Kroll. John Faulkner.
Frank Akers. William Etchell, Wlllam
AiacKensie, c Nern, w. IL Murphy and
James Magulro.
There are to be contests and for the
winners prises to stimulate competition
For the rest of it the announcement
says:
"A first clsss orchestra will furnish
Jig time music. One of the biggest
events will be a ball game between the
cigar makers and the engineers. Ever
since the cigar makers put it over the
bartenders, their man Fitsaerald has
been going around with a chip on his
shoulder handing out defiant words to
every other ball team In the city, but
the engineers will play ball like they
had live steam inside them snd the fine
feather of "Fits" will be drabbled.
"The engineers felt badly neeved
when Messrs. Magulre and Mackenzie
reported At the last meeting that they
were unable to get a porker tor the
greased pig race, but they felt a little
better with the sssurance that i there
would surely be a greased something
race. ,

only a few of the laugh making events.
We will have a fat man's race in which
"Big Bill" is barred because he ran
too long In one plane last year, and also
because the meat trust refused to sell
him that pig. All others will be admitted
ir rat enough. We may have a thin
man's race, too, if there are any thin
enough to enter after the 'eats' we will
nave at the park."
