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. While
dancing la one or tne nicest oi amuse
ments, yst this same class of hoodlum
young men nave Droognt pnoiio
dances iuto disfavor aud there will
be no platform dance in or about the
rounds for the Orange executive
committee has sontrol lor that day of
the lauds adjoining the grove.
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.
Nigger baby racks aud other games of
chance will also be forbidden. Itnt
there will be amusemeuts in plenty
for the young people and the older
people to. Swing and games will be
provided for the children and a fine
program of athletic sports will be i
lentnre or the picnic.
