'RAH FOR THE 4TH Dallas Sets Apart Three Days to Give Vent to Pent up Patriotism. Orations, Reading of Declaration of Independence, Basket Din ner, Moiic, Parades, Etc Fourth of July festivities will opH) up in Dallas Saturday morn- rig with the pioneers' reunion. A hand concert and parade will be given in the forenoon. The annu al address will b delivered by Hon. Win, Galloway, circuit judge- elect. The occtthionaL addre-fs will be delivered by J C.

A patriotic sermon, sacred con cert and Lasket dinner, will be the order of the day Sunday. The celebration proper on Mon day will include an address by Hon. Claude Gatch of Salem, read ing of the Declaration of Indepen dence by Harry Belt ot Sheridan, and there will be all kinds of street sports and contests, for which prizes will be awarded. Special mntors from Independence, Mon mouth and Airlie have been ar ranged for. Machine Shop Purchased, t II. M. Edear of Salem has pur chased the bicycle repair shop of II. C. Miller on C street and taken possession. Mr. Ldjjar comes with the intention of expanding the business and ia putting in larger machinery and more tools. It is his purpose to do all kinds of ma chine work from the repairing of a bicycle nut to a threshing machine. He is an experienced mechanic having run the Salem ironworks for the past two years. Mr. Edgar has been unable to rent a residence in independence for love or money and with his family will occupy the back of his machine shop for the present. to get this it was necessary to force Mr. Miller out and the latter is rmtrinir un a tent and will Jive o under canvas this summer. Grecian Prophetess. Man v people, young and old, filed into the tent of the Grecian palm ist during the two days of the big i . il picnic; some went eany in xne morninir, others a few hours after the sun had set and a few at high noon. This womau was the seventh auehter of the seventh son and had the wonderful power of read- ne one's fortune in the stars. A close observer could have seen by the sad expressions and downcast looks on leaving the tent, that the path of each individual was not literally strewn with flowers and m the other hand there were a few whose foot steps would be troubled ery little by thorns. Time will tell. ' ' . THE HOP SITUATION. The estimate on the output of ihA Btate has been lowered and some wagers have been made on 90,000 bales. No one ia now put ting the estimate as high as 14U,0UU the wild piediction that found its way to the Portland papers two months aeo but hop men generally are not pessimistic. They generally estimate the crop, from present prospects, to be about the same as last year. E. M. Young thinks the yield may be less than last year. George L. Rote We can't have 100,000 bales this year. Pain is needed now. The next two weeks is the critical time fur hops. They will be bloksoming out, and it is while blooming they need rain. Dove I have 88 acres in the bottom and they look very well. It looks likfc I will get a full yield. Horst Bros, yard does not promise as big yield as last year. That yard produced 1800 bales last year and it looks now that it will pro duce about half that amount tbi year. The yield of the new yard will be very light. The output of the state will probably b about the same as last year. Kola'NcU, Squire Farrar, Julius Pincua and L. D. Jacks made a trip through thote parts look'uig over the hop prospects this week, They found that the dry hot weather is aff-JCting some yards, but they re port not a great deal "A rain a week ago would have helped, re marked Senator Farrar, ''bat there will be hops whether there is rain or not." . Kola Neis has a yard across the river from Independence. Jay yard looks well," he said, "and ya'ds throughout the valley,- espe- dally bottom land yards, look as well as they did any time last year. The hops are free from lice." J. Morrison, manager for Horst Bros. Hops need rain so badly they don't know what ia the matter with them. If rain comes within a few days they will be all right." SILVER-WEDDING HELLS. The silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs E. T. Henkle wae celebrated at their home in Independence Mon day night in the presence of a large assemblage of mends and neigh bors. It was in the nature of a surprise to the host and bostes who have been happily living ia marital bondage the past twenty-fiye years. Dr. E. J Thompson acted as master of ceremonies, going over again in his inimitable style the wedding ceremoayjtothe delecstaiion of those present.
