Its Patriotism.
SPLENDID CELEBRATION

Condon, the "Wheat City."
commemorated in brilliant and
patriotic fashion, the nation's
natal day. Cool, refreshing
breezes swept over the city, set
ting hundreds of flags and tri
colored ribbons dancing in a riot
of flashing color. The largest
crowds that .ever gathered here
on, a similar occasion were in Con
don to make tho closing day of
the celebration a record-breaker.
For weeks Condon had awaited
tile tun it of the crowds but on
the FourthAer hopes were
realized. It the first "dry"
. Fourth in the th'a history but
it was a safe aniane celebra
tion, orderly but foua.

while in the city. The water
wagon might have been
more conspicuously in evidence.
That the city must devise a sys
tem of street sprinkling was
demonstrated during the cele
bration. Parade Attracts Attention
The Fourth was ushered in
by noisy guns at sunrise. At
10 o'clock the parade formed
near the Congregational church.
The line of march passed north
of the church for three blocks,
turned eastward on Walnut street
one block, then it continued south
to Spring and up Main street as
far as the Oregon hotel and then
eastward to the skating rink.
The procession was headed by
Frank Moore, marshal of the day
mounted on a black horse gaily
caparisoned for the occasion,
His aides were E. Wheir and
Jim Pointdexter. The Arlington
brass band playing stirring pat
riotic airs, was followed by the
carriage in which rode Mayor
Farnsworth. Hon. C. N. Mc
Arthur, Chairman H. W. Paul
ing and Mrs. Pauling. The big
traction engine drawing three
prettily decorated floats came
next. On the Liberty car, Miss
Nan Fitzmaurice sat enthroned
as goddess and grouped about
her were her attendants, Miss
Larson and Miss Palmer. The
trio made a pretty picture and
Miss Fitzmaurice impersonated
the goddess of liberty mosteffec
tively. Following came the car
of states filled with boys and
girls waving American flags,
Some were dressed in red, some
in white and others in blue and
all represented the 46 states
and territories. Little girls on
horseback, appropriately attired
typified the thirteen original
states. Other attractions elicited
f comments and cheers from by
Btanders. Edgar Dunlap made
a capital clown and rode the well
known bob-tailed "Bobbie."
Slowly but feeling his outs, Elton
Clurk's peaceful donkey came
plodding along pulling a minia
ture dray decorated with red
white and blue bunting the
contribution of S. B. Barker Co.
The Home Bakery was in the
procession with its delivery wag
on and team well decorated. In
the rear or the wagon sat a
boy throwing out peanuts and
candies to the little tots looking
on. The Farr Bros, float was
typical of the butcher business.
The driver sat making eyes to
the girls and proudly puffed away
on a Frankfort sausage. At
the rear of the wagon a jovial,
white-aproned meat cutter was
distributing wiener wurts and
bologna to the boys who crowded
about the vehicle. The Condon
Livery barn had one of its best
turn-outs in the parade and the
surrey was prettily draped with
the national colors. The little
pageant wouia nave Deen mcom-
plete without a gasoline buggy.
Cjok Bros. 's big car filled the
bill admirably. William had tied '
tri-colored ribbons and bunting
on various parts of the machine
and filled it with a jolly bunch of

carriages ended the parade.
Literary Exercises.
rink was an ideal place for the
holding of the exercises. The
hall was comfortably filled and
number of people had to stand
up but all appeared to enjoy the
program rendered. The opening
number was a patriotic selection
sung by a children's chorus wav
ing flags. Rev. F. T. Murphy,
gave the invocation which was
followed by a selection given by
the Arlington band. A mixed
chorus then sang "Flag of the
free, fairest to see," Miss Lilian
Ranney being the accompanist.
Mayor Farnsworth introduced
the speaker, Hon. C. N. McAr
thur, of Portland, who delivered
the oration. It abounded in
historical allusions from the dawn
of history to the scaling of San
Juan Hill by "Teddy" Roosevelt
and his regiment There was
ittle new in the oration but it
was delivered in good voice.
The Ball Tournament.
Probably the most thrilling
baseball tournament ever pulled
off in the Wheat City was won
by the Condon Grays after three
sensational struggles on the dia
mond. In such victory there is
joy; in such a defeat no disgrace,
The Grays are elated over the
victory but the Clems are good
losers. Without Clem's co-oper
ation the drawing-card of the
celebration could not have been
played. The second game of the
series broke all previous records
for attendance but the three
games were wortn seeing,
Somehow it does some of us good
to have our athletic emotions
stirred a little. To wave our
arms, to yell our heads off and
shout through a mecapohne
brings anew some notion of the
joy of living and acts as a most
eftective homeopathic dose.
The Globe regrets to be com
pelled for lack of space to give a
a rather brief summary of the
games.

BARBECUE IS A SUCCESS
People Celebrate Eventful
Day with Songs, Oratory
and Sports.
With oratory and songs and
sports the people of Lone Rock
celebrated Independence Day in
old-time style and the event was
one of the most enjoyable gather
ings ever held in that thriving
village. The barbecue was pro
bably the feature of the celebra
tion but the musical and literary
exercises proved thoroughly in
teresting to the scores of cel
ebrants who had made the pil
grimage to Lone Rock. Besides
the songs and recitations by the
children, the arbor in which the
exerci8eg were held waa made to
with speeches bristling
with g00d sound sense. The
8peaker8 were j B Goff A- B
Staney and Rw charleg Casoni
The immortal document penned
by Thomas Jefferson was read by
Charles Lillv. Mrs. A. B. Stan-
ley also appeared on the program.
At the noon hour every one
partook of the juicy ox that had
been prepared in true barbecue
style The athletics were un
der the supervision of George
erry and the various races
added excitement to the day's
pleasure. The horse racing was
the signal for enthusiasm and
lenry Ochse's horse won from
three other horses. Lone Rock
did itself proud in the obser
vance of the day.
Destroyed by Fire.
The house and barn belonging
to J. P. Cotton, in the east part
of town was entirely destroyed
by fire yesterday afternoon. It
is thought that the boys who
were playing in the barn may
accidentally have dropped amatch !
where the straw became ignited. I
The fire department was out as
promptly as possible but the
barn was soon enveloped in the
flames but on account of the
lack of hose the house could not
be protected in time to save it
The house was occupied by Geor
ge Wick and family. Some of
the household goods were saved.
Big Land Deals.
There is no slump in real estate
here and values in wheat ranches
are, by no means, deteriorating.
This was demonstrated when E.
Curran was in Portland this
week, at which time he and J. 0.
hlrod closed two big land deals
that have been hanging fire for
some time.
R. McMurphy, of Eugene, pur
chased the Skelly place, a mile
north of town, for which he paid
$28,800. This ranch is well cul
tivated by Wm. Ebbert who has
it rented and is all in crop, one
third of which iroes to the buyer. I
The other ranch that changed j
hands is the Wetter place near
Clem and was bought by S. C.
Dodson, the well-known local
merchant The consideration
was $26,400. Those who know
declare that Mr. Dodson has one
of the finest ranches in the
county.
Mr. Curran who is Mr. Elrod's
agent here, has been working on
these deals since last Spring and
is much elated that they have
been brought to to a close
and successfully consummated.
