Smccessfal Celebration in the Midst
of a FoarlsK Rain Hs Contest,
Wlr Works, Grand Ball.
The Dalies celebrated the Fourth in
fitting style. The rain, which "came
down in sheets during part of the day,
only intensified the good feeling, and
people were made glad by the thought
that the harvest was all the more as
sured. People began arriving from the
country and outside points during the
previous evening, and by the time the

will be an important factor in thef . j s .;t f

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.
Manager Birgfeld, of the opera bouse,
has made arrangements for a concert to
be given in the opera bouse. The date
will probably be a week from next
Thursday. Mrs. F. Webster Hinsdale
and Mias Minto, one a vocalist of high
reputation and the other a pianist, will
appear on the program. A fine elocu
tionist, Miss Jessup, will also take part
in the exercise. These ladies will be
assisted iu- the entertainment by the
Orchestra Union.
The city jail was a sight to see this
morning; sixteen prisoners in the cells
and corridors, every one of them recover
ing from a drunken debauch. Recorder
Phelps had a Dusy time of it this morn
ing hearing the charges, and imposing
fines. W. H. Butta, Thos. Haslam, W.
Harding and trans Jiill were sworn in
as special policemen last night and kept
busy seeing there was not too much
liberty. The increased force will be
maintained until after the circus is gone
Hamlin Garraha will report at Mc-

Edward Ketnevs, the sculptor of pioneer

placed. 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. C
