Commute Choaen to Canvas
City to Solicit Funds
for Celebration.
MAY HOLD MARKET DAY
Score of Interested Citizens
Meat at Court House
and Favor Old Fash
ioned Celebration.
Initial steps for the Fourth of
July , celebration were taken
Tuesday evening when about a
score of business, professional
men and other citizens interested
met at the court house to consi
der the feasibility of holding a
genuine, old-fashioned commem
oration of the nation's birthday
in Condon. The consensus of
opinion of those present was to
celebrate and to celebrate loyally
and with that end in view a com
mittee consisting of Hallie Rice,
Campbell Morgan and Oscar
Veatch was elected, to make a
canvass of the business houses
to ascertain how much can be
raised to ' defray the expenses
incidental with the celebration.
Mayor Farnsworth was chair
man of the meeting and after
expressions favorable to the
holding of the ' festivities had
leen given by a number of . per
sons, the meeting adjourned 1o
meet at Borne future date when
the committee chosen will make
a report
There is but little doubt that
the soliciting committee will
receive the hearty co-operation
of the citizens and that a subs
tantial fund will be forthcoming
to make the Fourth of July in
Condon a great and glorious day
during which the American
eagle will scream its loudest .
It is probable that a "market
day" such as has been held in
Pendleton, The Dalles and other
towns may be inaugurated here
during the celebration. There
will be plenty of baseball and a
number of carnival features will
be secured to add sprightliness
to the occasion.
