While the Lose teams were getting ready for the contest the competitive drill was going on in the elegant new armory. The large hall makes a splen did drilling place, and it is very fortu nate that it was done in time for yester day. Company A of Wasco and Com pany G of The Dalles were the contest ants, and a great interest was taken during the entire drill. Company G was the first to drill, and went through the evolutions in good time and form. They set a high standard for the Wasco boys, aad many thought that Company A would not rise to the occa sion, but it did. The visitors went into the competition determined to give The Dalles boy 8 a close rub, and when their part was over the opinion of the audi ence was divided as to who had won. The judges decided that Company A was entitled to the medal, having a percent age of 90, while Company G had 87. Gus Bartel of G company received the prize for the best drilled militiaman. The competitive drill was one of tha best features of the day. TUB FIREWORKS AND BICYCLE PARADE. A large crowd gathered in the public echool yard just before dusk to wit ness the fireworks. The orchestra band was present and played during the in terval between the fireworks. The rockets, Roman candles and different varieties of shooting stars were sent off from the high bluff by the old reservoir and were easily visible from all parts of town. The display was very satisfactory and served to please the audience, Through some accident a box of Roman candles was set a fire and the whole number went off almost together with a very brilliant effect. Instead of marring the program it added to it and many thought it was part of the play. The bicycle parade took place during the pyrotechnic display, and was one of the prettiest portions of the whole cele bration. A large number of wheels, gaily decorated with Chinese lanterns, paraded through the streets. All of the designs were very tasty, and some of unusual cleverness. Tbrongh some mis adventure there were no judges selected to award the prizes, and consequently the official announcement of whose was the best cannot be made. The parade was much appreciated by all who wit nessed it. TDE BALL AT ME OPERA HOUSE. The Fourth of July exercises closed with the grand ball of the Jackson En gine company. The large floor was cov ered with dancers while many spectators occupied seats. The music was the very finest and the floor in good conditien. The ball lasted till 3 a. m. and with its close ended the celebration of '95, which can be called successful at every point. NOTES OF THE DAT. The judges in the hose contest were "W. L. Bradshaw, L. E. Crowe and Thos. Haslam. Messrs. John S. Schenck, J. P. Mcl nerny and T. A. Ward acted as timekeepers. Tom Driver was the starter, as being a county official be was supposed to know how to fire a pietol. The Orchestra band cannot be praised too highly for their part in the day's celebration. . They played nearly the whole time: in the morning in the parade, in the afternoon at the hose con test, in the evening at the fireworks and afterwards for the dance. They worked harder than almost anybody and added vastly to the success of the day. The celebration could not have got on very well without them. Not only did they play often but well and the strangers who were in' town yesterday, can go away feeling they had heard the best music that could have been obtained. . Success to the orchestra !-- It was a lamentable oversight that no judges were, provided for the bicycle parade. Many of the cyclers had gone to great pains and expense to decorate their wheels, and feel as if their work was in vain. It was not a case of "love's labor lost," however, for the different designs were much admired by the spec tators. . . Miss Edna Glenn was a pretty goddess -. of Liberty and the little girls represent ing the different states made a pleasing picture. The liberty car is always the center of interest in the parade. E. Jacobsen waa on hand with a com-' petitive piano exhibit. - Our business houses were gaily decor ated and Second street was a sea of bunting from one end to the other. Flags floated from all the flagstaff's and the city had a holiday appearance. In the matter of Fourth of July cele bration or anything else The Dalles is all right.

Moore, The Dalles, Or. -Dear Sir: Answering yours of the 2Gtn, enclosing clipping of article pub lished by soma of your competitors, we desire to say, first, that we know of no such paper in Chicago as the Chicago Musical News. There may be such a publication, but it is not known to us nor can weet any information as to its existence. While on this subject, how ever, we.are of the opinion that adver tisements of this kind put in by local dealers to. try and prevent their neigh bors buying a good piano at a right price, will prove a boomerang to the dealer. We have never considered it good policy to answer any such attacks. We have been in the mutic business for more than thirty years and are doing our larg est business today where we are best known and will stand right on our busi ness reputation and push right forward instead of spending any of our time in answering m alicions attacks. It is pos sible that the dealers in The Dalles are public benefactors and are spending their money advertising for the purpose of trying to protect an ignorant and be nighted community, but if such is the case thev are rare specimens and should be put in a . case and exhibited. The probabilities are they are exercised more on account of the fact that they are los ing the large profits that they hoped to make by retailing goods than tbeir de sire to protect the innocent public. It is one of our fixed rules in business not to enter into controversy with our com petitors nor say unkind things of them, but spend our entire time in pushing our ewn business. Your advertisement seems to cover the ground in nice shape. With sincere regards, we remain, Very Respectfully, W. W. Kimball Co. In connection with the above, we wish to impress upon the generous public of The Dalles, that we came here as law abiding, business men to offer our goods for sale to the public. We are free-bern American citizens, white and twenty-one and believe the constitution guarantees the right to all -its citizens to peaceably pursue their business, profession or occu pation in this grand and glorious land of the free. It was for tfcess rights that gome of our ancestors spilt their blood, some of the writer's ancestors having sacrificed their lives with others in achieving the grand victory which we all united in celebrating yesterday We came here, as above stated, to sell our goods and had no fight to make on any one or any one's goods, as the Kim ball is sold strictly oa its merits and not by dealirg in personalities and ingender ing prejudices, as everyone who has come in contact with us and knows our manner of dealing can testify. Bat the local agents were not willing te attend to their business and let us attend to ours. They seem to have an idea that they &wn this section of the United States and the people who. live here. They have wantonly, wilfully and maliciously attacked us. They have brought this j"war" on themselves, now let them take their medicine. The3' deserve no quarter from us, or sympathy from the law abiding citizens of The Dalles. The writer notified them before they began that we had no fight to make on anyone, but if they began, it would be war to the knife, and we now say, in the language of "SpakeBhare," Lay on, MacDuff, And damned be he Who cries enough.
