The rain yesterday was just as wel come as it was unexpected. Thirty-two hundredths of an inch fell and the ground is thoroughly soaked. It is a blessing to the country above any other that could be given, and there is great re joicing in the land today and this Fourth of July will be numbered among the best we have Lad, both on account of the suc cessful celebration and the glorious rain that accompanied it.

As the liberty car passed under a wire the top was caught and torn off, so the little children were left unpro tected from the rain. The procession moved through the principal streets of town and stopped at the grand stand, where the literary exercises were held A large, platform bad Deen built on Third street, in front of the courthouse, and upon it were seated the participants in the exercises. . The rain by this time had nearly stopped, and it looked as if the program might begone through with in clear weather; but during the oration of Mr. Michell the waters began de scending with redoubled force. Hon. W. L. Bradshaw acted as presi dent of the day. The exercises began with singing by a large choir of male and female voices. The choice voices of the town bad been drilled for some time, and the singing was excellent Judge 1 Bradshaw then introduced Mr. Nicholas J. Sinnott, who after some well chosen words of introduction said with pleasing effect, read the Decla ration of Independence in an impressive. stirring manner. The young reader re ceived generous applause from the audience. After another song Hon. John Michell was introduced rs the orator of the day Mr. Michell made a brilliant effort and delivered an eloquent oration. Both in thought and literary composition bis production was a masterpiece and the impressive delivery held the audience spellbound. Especially happy was the introduction referring to the inclemency of the day when he spoke of heaven smiling through its tears. The erator is to be warmly congratulated. . '' The exercises closed with singing by the choir and then the crowd which had remained attentive to the" program, sep arated, some to their homes, and others to hotels and restaurants, whtre dinner could be bad. IN TBI AFTERNOON. Long before the appointed time the sidewalks along Third street were crowd ed with people to witness the hose con tests. Men were put to work cleaning the streets, which were made verv muddy by the rain. A long delay was necessary in order to give the ground time to get iu condition so any running could be done. The orchestra band was stationed on the porch of Maier & Ben ton's grocery store, and entertained the people with some beautiful selections while waiting for the contests.' The Jackson Engine Company ran first and made good time, but unfortu nately the kink in the hose did not keep the water back until the nozzle was fixed, so that they were not given any time. The beys made a splendid ran, and it was very, unfortunate the mishap occurred, as they stood a good chance of winning. The Jackson team was cem posed of the following men : Geo. Brown, Geo. Liebe, Jr., M. Bartel, 8. Frank, N. Sinnott, R. Sinnott, W. Hun ter, W. Klindt. J. Maloney, J. Fisher, B. Ulrich. R. Teaeue. The Mt. Hood team, composed of residents on the hill, were the next to run, and made the course and got water in forty seconds. They were a well-built Bet of men, and showed their practice in the way they bandied the hose and made connections. The make up of the team was as follows: J. Harper, R. Fisher, J. McNeil, W. Norman,' F. Cbrisman, Mr. Spivey, J. Hanna, F. Snipes, F. Meneiee, W. Nichols, J. Ullricn and W. Johns. The crewd was on the qui vive of ex citement by the time the Columbia boys were ready to run. Some bad picked theaa for winners, aad just before the race several bets of 2 to 1 in favor of the Coluuibias were made. The Jackson team wore white suits, the Mt. Hoods red and white, and the Columbia boys were attired in blue. At the pistol shot they darted down the street and made excellent time, getting water in S54 sedonds. This was the best time made, and everyone thought they were the winners. The boys were receiving con gratulations, when a protest was made to the judges by the Mt. Hood company it was claimed that the nozzle was screwed after the water passed through it. A heated discussion was carried on between the members of the two com panies, aad the judges called in some witnesses to. give testimony regarding tne matter. The decision was finally made in favor of the Mt Hood company, and the Columbias given the second prize. This, however, was refused on the part of the Columbia team, and the claim was made that under the ruling of the judges tbey were emtitled either to the first prize or none. It was uafortu nate that .the occurrence happened, as otherwise nothing occurred to make it anything but a friendly contest. The boys who ran in the Columbia team were Lewie Porter. Ray Logan, C.
