Dallas Fourth of July Celebration to be Biggest and Best Ever Held in County. PLANS BEING PERFECTED The committees in charge of the various departments of preparation for the oomlng two days' celebration of the Annual Pioneer Beunion and the Fourth of July, have been working during the past few days like the proverbial industrious beavers. As a result, the plans for the celebration have already emerged from their somewhat indefinite form of last week and are taking shape in such a man ner as to give abundant promise of its being the biggest event of its kind that has ever been held in Dallas. Our nearest neighbor outside of this county to arrange for a celebration is Corvallis, but the program at that city is set for July 6 and leaves Dallas still free on the second and third to attract a big attendance from cities in all of tbe counties adjoining Polk. Working in conjunction with the committees appointed for the Fourth of July, tbe committee of the Pioneer Association is preparing a flne pro- gram for the reunion on Friday, July 2. The order of events for that day as submitted by Dr. T. V. B. Embree, president of the Association, will be briefly as follows : The procession, headed by the Dallas band will form on Main street at 10 o'clock a. m. and take up its Hue of march to the city park, where the exercises of the morning will be held, Here the program will be opened with a musical number followed by -the Invocation by Eev. N. S. Reeves, of the Presbyterian Church After the readies of the minutes of the last meeting, the roll of the deoeased pio neers will be called and Hon. G. O. Hnirnun will deliver the address of tbe day. After the noon hour, the members of the Pioneer Association will re-assem ble for a short business meeting at whinh the prizes, which they are accustomed to give to the oldest pio- neer and the oldest pioneer couple, will be awarded. The remainder of the day will be thrown open to the general amusements which will be inducted under the direction of the Fourth of July committee. Saturday, July 3, has been set for the celebration of the anniversary of our Independence, and no efforts will be spared to make the program com. plete in every respect. Each com mittee has been working with a will on tbe details of entertainment that come under its supervision and the results of their labors bid fair to be successful in the extreme. The parade will be larger taan ever before and will comprise a number of features which have never been Intro duced in parades given at previous celebrations. The members of the float committee have met with excep tional success in their work, floats being promised by eighteen of the business houses of Dallas up to last Tuesday evening. This number will probably be increased still more with in the next few days and between 20 and 25 flne floats may be expected to appear in tbe parade. The Dallas band will bead the pro cession in which, beside the beauti fully decorated floats, features of Interest will be the parade of auto mobiles, Cornelius Hughes' juvenile military company, Company H, Ore gon National Guards, Indians from the Grande Ronde Reservation who are to give their famous war dances n the evening, and the comical parade of Plug Uglies, without which no celebration would be complete. For speaker of the day, Dallas has fortunately been able to secure Hon. N. McArthur, of Salem. Mayor H. C. Eakin will preside over the morning entertainment at the City Park and Mrs. J. C. Courter, of Falls City, will read the Declaration of Independence. For marshals J. F. Groves, of Independence, T. T. Graves, of McCoy, and T. B. Masters, of Falls City, have been secured to serve. The work of the committee on sports has been most efficient and that por tion of the celebration will be beyond censure. A baseball game between Falls City and some other neighbor ing city will be the main feature of Friday's program and on Saturday afternoou, Dallas and Independence will cross bats, a preliminary game being also arranged between the boys' teams of the two cities. Races of all kinds for liberal prizes will be held each evening. A feature of additional interest will be the bear chase. A live bear has been secured and will be taken through the streets of the city after which dogs will be put on its trail, a prize being offered the owner of the dog which is first in at the finish. Other features of attraction will be furnished by E. J. Arnold's big car nival company which will pitch Its tents here during the celebration. Mr. Arnold guarantees two balloon ascen sions, one each day, beside number less other free attractions which will be given in addition to the entertain ments in the tent. The merry-go-round, always a favorite amusement feature will be here and a number of interesting sideshows will attract throngs of visitors. The brilliant display of fireworks which have been secured will be one of the crowning features of the day. Two displays will be given, one con sisting of Japanese day fireworks, Saturday afternoon and the other being the regular illuminating fire works which will be discharged after darkness has fallen. The latter attraction will bring to a olose the the program of the day, which Is arranged on oneof the most elaborate and comprehensive plans that has ever before been outlined for such an event in Dallas.
