CAME TO SEE CELEBRATION CELEBRATION AT HAND Active Preparations Are Being Com pleted For Proper Observance of . Independence Day, Sheriff J. M. Grant is today enter taining two youthful adventurers who came into Dallas last night and whom he is holding here until their relatives come up from Portland after them. The names of the two boys are Max Goldstaub and Max Hoaglio, aged 11 and 11 years, respectively, the former giving his address as 70S Vancouver Avenue, and the latter, 731 Williams Avenue, in Portland. They left home Sunday and had worked their way to Perrydale yester day evening, walking part of the way and riding on trains when possible. At Perrydale they were detained by someone who had noticed in one of the daily papers an account of their disappearance from home. From that place they were sent to Dallas and taken under the wing of the sheriff of Polk county, who immed iately telephoned to Portland and noti fied the authorities there of the arri val of the two lads. The boys are both bright, Intelligent appearing .little fellows and their departure from home seems, to have been prompted by no other motive than to see what they could see of the world. Their ingenuous narrative of their adventures in coming to Dallas proved highly entertaining to the county officials and others who chanced to be In the sheriff's office this morning. According to their own story, tbey left home with no fixed destination in view, but after they had proceeded In thisdireotion for some time they began to notice large posters announcing a Fourth of July celebration in Dallas. The farther they came, the more plenti ful became the alluring posters and long before they reached Perrydale they had definitely determined to come to Dallas and see the celebration. The only thing that appears to give them much uneasiness now, Is the fact that they may have to go back to Portland tomorrow and miss the celebration after alL A third boy. Harold Hilleary, is also reported missing from Portland, but Sheriff Grant's young visitors say that they know nothing about him I ' OH YOU KID Miss May Littlepage was In Port' land over Sunday on a visit. George Whitehorn left Saturday for Pasco, Washington, after a few days' visit In Dallas. He was accompanied by bis two daughters and one son who have been living at the home ot Mr, and Mrs. W. H. Boals in this city for several years. They will make their home with their father at Pasco In future. A number of visitors from Inde pendence and other neighboring cities paid a fraternal visit to the Masonic lodge in Dallas, Friday, when mm atlon ceremonies were held. After the business meeting and initiation, the remainder of the evening was spent In a pleasant social manner, refresh ments being served. The arrival of Arnold's merry-go-rouud from Brownsville yesterday, followed today by the other shows that will appear here Friday and Saturday, were among the first out ward manifestations ot the . near approach of the date for the big cele bration. At the same time merchants up and down the streets begun to unroll bunt ing and put up their decorations for the celebration, electricians begun preparing the wiring for the street illuminations, and the premature pop of the firecracker occurring at inter vals during the day, told where the zealous small boy, unable to wait in patience for the coming of the great day, was indulging In a little antici patory celebration. Feverish activity on the part of some of the committees on preparation furnished yet another ot the unmistakable signs that Dallas is almost on the eve of one of the big gest commemorative celebrations its citizens have ever given. Friday morning will see the first fruits of the labors ot the committees on preparation, and from the time or Arnolds balloon ascension at 10 o'clock m. on that day until midnight Saturday, there will not tie a minute that will not have its feature of enter tainment. The forenoon Friday will be devoted to the pioneer program and the earlier part ot the afternoon to the annual business meeting of the Polk County Pioueer Association. The remainder ot the day will be given over to sports and popular amusements, a big dance at the armory in the evening closing the day's events. Saturday, the day of the Fourth of July celebration, will be ushered in with a grand salute fired at sunrise, after which events of interest will fol low thick and fast. A second balloon ascension will be given after which the brilliant parade, in which all of the social and fraternal orders and the majority ot the business houses of the city will be represented, will form and take up its line of march to the City Park, where the morning exer cises are to be held. The preparations of the committee on sports have been most thorough A boar hunt, two baseball games, foot races and many other athletio contests will fill the afternoon, furnishing amusement for all. The fireworks In the afternoon and evening have also been selected most carefully and will prove another feature of great attrac tlon. Get the fad for the big celebration!
