MONTGOMERY, Ageut JOSEPHINE COUIN 1 i GRANGE DEPARTMENT Preparations are now well under way for tlia celebration tliat is to oe held on the Fourth of July at Wilder- ville under the auspices oi me u Orange in Josephine coooty, and it promiaea to be the largest gathering of farmers aver held in Kogus River Valley and there is every reason w expect that the towns wiu m m represented, lor bo jar oooBoed, the only towus In Southern Uregon that are planning to celebrate are Ashland and Roieburg. The cele bration is not an exclusive Grange aflair and ail will oe welcome to come and enjoy an outing in one of tne most deligntiui groves ui h-i. of the state. This grove is largo enough to accommodate the largest crowd with more apace in me u joining forest and it is clean and in perfect order. The grove is located just across Slate creek from Wilder ville postoffice and is easily accessible to vehicle of all kinds. A special ttrummn it that there is a large .nri.icr nf ice cold wattr on the " r - r ornmidfl. The Grangers will put into affect several innovations tliat they expect onll nnndnce to make their celebration a day of perfect enjoyment as well as resi to those who attend. That owners of vehicles may hare no fear that whips, lan robes or wraps will be purloined or lunch baskets disturbed a committee will look after all automo biles and otner vehicles. All vehicles will be assigned a place In the grove and at least one of the committee will be on dnty all the time to look out for hoodlum boys aud pilfering men. It is not expected that belongings in the vehicles will be disturbed for the people of Rogu River Valley are noted for being hunost, but Were are always toughs at a publio gathering and these light fingered gentry will be promptly arrested if caught disturb ing other people's property. Camping facilities will be afforded tliohe com ing from a distance who may desire to come the day before and camp. And the young man with a whinkey bottle in bis hip pocket, with his bat on the back of bis head and a frizzly foretop of hair to accentuate his leary counten ance and who frequeuts qui door gatherings to make a show of himself and to create a disturbance, will get what be la looking for in about two minutes after be lands on the grounds, at the hands of the marshal or the deputies, and he will either subside or get off the grounds.

With no oonveulenoes lor rest, a picnio day gives but little pleasure to tired mottiers with babies aud small children aud old people too, and the day tiresome, for anting ou a bench or the ground has lost its attractiou there. A large teut will be erected on the grounds and fitted with easy chairs, lounges, cots and wash basins, towels, etc., to which mothers with their children will ne welcome and a committee of ladies will be in charge to make the rest room one of the com- lueudahle features of the picnic, lu e shade of the trees adjuiuiug the rest room will be placed easy charis and hammocks that will be for the use of elderly people who want to take a quiet rest. Another 'feature is that no firecrackers, bombs or other explosives will be allowed on or about the grounds and auy such danger making, uoise producing Chinese ap pliances will be promptly confiscated by the marshal so soon as touud on the grounds. The cracker, bomb nnlsauce lias had its day in Auiericau publio gatherings and at manv cele brations they ate prohibited aud many towus and cities have torbid their heiug exploded within the city limits.
