Tho Fourth of July celebration at
. Sumntcrville was a decided success in
j every particular. The streets of the
, town had been wet down with the street
, sprinkler and gaily decorated with
, bunting and evergreens, making it
! pleafant for the vast concourse- which
began to assemble early in the day. It
j was estimated that between three and
I four thousand people were present.
I The procession formed at !) o'clock and
marched to the giounds two miles
, west of town. First in line was the
I'niou Silver Cornet Hand, followed
by the liberty ear, (Miss Nora (jtiiuu
rcprej-enting the (ioddess of Liberty.)
Young ladies on horseback represen
ting the Territories, then the wagon of
the W. C. T. l, and three or four carri
ages. Next ruino the Summerville
Cornet Hand, followed by citizens in
carriages, wagons and on horseback.
The procession was fully a mile and a
i half long. After reaching the giounds
the exercises consisted of songs by the
glee club, prayer, music by the bands,
reading of thr Declaration of Indepen
dence by F. H. Collins, who is a niag
1 nitieent reader, and rendered it in line
style; an excellent oration by T. II.
; Crawford; a splendid poem by the poet
! of the dav .Indue H. Hrainard, enti
tled, "The Vale of Grande Hondo."
After these exercises an adjournment
was had for dinner, which was spread
out in abundance ample for double
the number that were in attendance.
pie again assembled at the grand stand
and were entertained with music,
songs and literary exercises. Then
all repaired to the town, where a spir
ited game of baseball was played be
tween the I'liion and Summerville
nines, the score standing l." to 2.'5 in
favor of the Union boys. At night the
lire woiks and a grand ball wound up
the festivities. Taken altogether it
was a most enjoynble ali'air, nothing
occurring to mar tho pleasure of the
day. The band boys, the representa
tive of the Scott, and others who at
tended from this city are profuse in
praises of the manner in which they
were treated, and entertained by the
good people of Summerville, and they
fully appreciate the same. Should the
opportunity oiler they will try and
reciprocate. The Fourth at Summer
ville will be long remembered by all
those fortunate enough to be in atten
dance. Ti'Acii Kits' IxsTiTt'Ti-; The teachers'
institute for the sixth judicial district
and Union eountv, will be held at La
(Jrande, July 21, 22 and 211. 1887. All
teachers and friends of education in
the above and adjacent counties are
cordially invited to be present. The
more the subject of public, school edu
cation is considered in conference by
the teachers, the, greater does its im
portance become. It remains for the
teachers and school officers, to carry
forward and develop this important
work to higher degrees of excellence,
j and in order that we may bo able to
secure lor our public schools that at
tention and aid which their importance
demands, all are earnestly urged to
attend and co-operate in tho great
work of popular education in our state.
In a (Ji'Axdaky. Thursday last a
party rushed into Judge Goodall's of
fice and informed him that some la
dies were in waiting in the hallway,
who wanted him to "change a child."
Tho ambiguity of the application ren
dered it somewhat difficult for his
Honor to decide whether they wanted
the child changed from a to a
or vice versa, or whether they desired
it clothed in tho original habilanients
of a native Hawaiian. The judge, how-
m,r wh ; )WUV t(con,ult tfR.' tat.
tite on all dillicult points, decided tho
change could he made satisfactorily,
without iill'ecting the child otherwise
than tlie'.ehaning of its legal relations,
which was done. For particulars sec

La Grande Celebration.
La (Jrande, July (!. 1S87.
Our glorious "Fourth" has come and
gone, and our great preparations and
great expectations culminated in our
great celebration.
The sun-rise salute of thirteen guns
shook us up at four o'clock and we
found the day as line as could have
been selected. At six o'clock people
began coining with all kinds of con
veyances, from I lie bucking cayuse to
the coach and four; from the freight
train caboose to the drawing room ear;
from the east and the west, the north
and Kouth; high and low, rich and
poor: all coining on a common level to
"hurrah for the lib of July," and have
their patriotism re-kindled. Long be
fore ten o'clock tho hotels and boarding j
houses were all full, and still they (
came.
At 11 o'clock the procession began
forming in front of the depot. It was
not a very gorgeous ali'air and was
not particularly conspicuous because
of its length, but contained worthy of
mention, a company of Grand Army
men, headed by a band of martial
music; car of liberty, with its' Goddess,
Angels and girls; Mr. Hryan's carriage
containing Hon. J. II, Mitchell and
M. Haker; then Dr. llonan with the
Declaration reader, followed by the
chaplain ami mayor, and last and least
was the boy's band of Pendleton not
'least in importance, out in size.
'file streets were ornamented by
trees brought from the niounhiius.
The buildings were handsoinly decora-!
ted. and a number ot arches had been
erected of evergteens, flowers and flags,
through which the procession passed
on its way to the pavilion, The pavil
ion was about a hundred feet square, '
with a smooth board floor, canvass and ;
evergreen roof, and a seating capacity
for 2 501) people. On thesouthsido was i
the grand stand, large enough for the'
speaker, reader, preacher, president, '
mayor, marshal, hand, soldiers, Angels,
States and the choir of fifty singers. ,
Tho introductory exercises consisted i
of vocal and instrumental music, and
prayer. Although wo sent away for i
a man to read the Declaration of Iude-
ptndence, with no less ability and
strength of lungs than Turner Oliv.ir,
many of tho people failed to hear his '
words, but it was nothing now and they 1
did not keep quiet, but when the Hon
orable orator was introduced, there was i
a hush of voices, and all eyes turned to '
the front, there came a look of disap- j
pointinont as a pile of manuscript wasi
unfolded, which though of the richest
material, failed to hold tho attention '
or enthuse tho hearts of tho masses.;
This w.uj evidenced by tho fact that 1
while jierhaps two thousand people ,
vcr within hearing when he began,
not more than u fourth of that mini-'
her hoard hi conclusion. When wo '
go to hear an oration we are not satis-
Hod with an oneiiy. It was nearly two
o'clock when the exuicises uouyiuded,
and ni(Mt of the people- wero idieady j
enjoying their banket dinner, wherever.'
a linb' nhade or water could bo found,
ii b i' few used the !:ibl- n.tir the pi;-
vilion whish had been provided for (he
occasion.
At .1 p. m. another procession formed.
This was to do over in the afternoon
what had been done in the morning,
and was quite an interesting ail'air.
In its way it was rather more of a suc
cess than the other, for the procession
was longer, much more was represen
ted, and much more interest was mani
fested by those who took pait, as well
a" those who It oked on. A description
of this company would be impossible,
as it appeared to be composed of white
men, black men, red men, yellow men
I and all other kipds of men conceivable
I and unconceivable. The caricatures
I were quite original and most of them
had point. The I. ( I. K., womans
rights, the band with its banner, and
high above all the musical director
interested everybody. And then after
leaching the platform and the prelimi
naries were over the "oritur of day"
came forward with his great roll of
paper and simply placed it on the
stand before li'in, all said "good, good."
At the close of this performance Me
Cully's stage was captured by the In
dians, which as an exhibition of old
times, was quite an exciting ali'air.
'fhe game of baseball between the
North Powder and La (Jrande clubs
began at 5 o'clock, and was witnessed
by a large crowd of people. The game
ended with a seore of 7 to 8 in favor of
North Powder. Willi this game the
exercises and pastime of the day closed,
and many of the people, who since
morning dawned had been on the
streets, started for 'heir homes.
At 0 o'clock the lull again opened
in the pavilion and there was a ball in
deed in which a big interest was shown,
as about eightv numbers were taken
and th(! game was not up until morn
ing. Although the celebration was a good
one and enjoyed by all, of course many
things mentioned on I lie bills failed to
materialize, but this is most, always the
case in such a jubilee, and great, cred
it is duo the poor, tire.' managers for
thei'- effort.- and success.
xoti:s ok tiii: DAY.
Not one serious accident occurred
during the day.
No confidence men or pickpockets
showed up.
Tutlbrd's "wheel of fortune" was the
only game of chance.
'fhe round swing coined the dimes.
Sheets it Hay allowed their shop to
be used as a cool retreat for the ladies.
Only a few drunks.
Wildey was the busiest man in town.
Some of the boys came with their
"worst" girls.
The baby boy of the pendleton boy
band was sent home sick.
Several of the stores were closed.
One t-aloon took in over if 100 cash.
The committee came out only $100
in debt.
The leader of the burlesque band was
over ten feet high and never stumbled
or fell.
No arrests were made.
Kxtra police all kept cober.
