for Celebration.
MAY HOLD MARKET DAY
Score of Interested Citizens

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.
