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

paid a fraternal visit to the Masonic
lodge in Dallas, Friday, when mm
atlon ceremonies were held. After the

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.
