J. O. Hayter, 8. M. Ray & Company 10.00 B. M. Gy "nd J!,UI8' lnB mem bers of the committee on funds which had been appointed at the meeting Monday night, $900 was raised to pay the expenses of the celebration. In addition to the funds secured by Bolk-itiDg, the City Council, upon request of the finance committee, agreed to turn over the license money on booth and stand . concessions for the benefit of the celebration as has been the custom heretofore. The rev enue from this source added to what has already been raised and what will be secured from later subscriptions, will swell the funds considerably above the $1000 mark. The finance committee having made certain of funds In sufficiency for the project, the details of the big event remain yet to be deoided upon and that part of the work will be launched tonight at a mass meeting which has been called by Mayor H. C. Eakin to be held at the Courthouse at eight o'clock. At that time oommlttes to have charge of the various depart ments of preparation will be chosen and definite plans as to the different features of the celebration will be discussed. The Pioneer Association of Polk County had fixed the date for its aDOual reuulon for July 3 this year, but since the Fourth falls on Sunday, those in charge of the preparations for the Pioneers' Plcnlo have kindly consented to change its date to Friday, July 2. This change assures a big two days' celebration, combining the Pioneers' Picnlo on Fiiday with the commemoration of Independence Day on Saturday. Conditions are especially favor able for a thoroughly successful celebration. No other place in Polk county will celebrate this year and Salem, the largest city In any of the counties Immediately adjoining, bas decided to dispense with a Fourth of July celebration, in order to devote all of its energies to the work of preparation for the Cherry Fair. This fact assures an exceptionally large attendance. The success of celebrations of the j Fourth in Dallas is proverbial. The hearty response that bas been met thus far from nearly every source, to the call for co-operation and assistance to carry out the enterprise, Indicates a continuauoe of the city's enviable record in conducting big entertain ments of this kind. The list of business men and firms contributing to the fund for the cele bration is as follows : Whiteside & Brown $10.00 W. R. Ellis 35.00 J. A.

The baseball same scheduled to be played between Dallas and Salem, Sunday afternoon, at the local ball park, was called off at the last moment, owing to the inability of the Dallas manager to get bis team selected for the contest.

Salem, Brooks, etc Paul, Gervals, Buttevllle, Woodburn and Aurora 40 per cent and Sllvertoo district 6.0 per cent He says that Ore gon cannot possibly produce more than 60.000 bales this seasoo. He gives the maximum for New York 35.000 bale, California 75,000 bales and Washington, 20,000 bales. The total to the United States 190,ono hales as compared with the short crop of last year at 206,000 bales. Brewers' require menu are 229,000 bales annu ally. Portland Journal. Lively Raaaway.

Aoent, Portland, Oregon Electricity for Lighting Is only expensive to people who are wasteful and careless. To you, who are naturally careful, it does not come high. It Is economical because it can be quiokly turned off wnen not needed. With gas or kerosene there is the temptation to let light burn when not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes the electric light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month. You can probably get some kind ot artificial light for less money than electrio light, but does It save you anything when it limits op portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesightsmokes Ln..nii.m.ri rlnnnrnt.lnna and Increases household work, xou could Drobablv save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals but it wouldn't be economy.
