OF IS A SUCCESS SUM m NEARLY HOMED YESTERDAY Fourth of Fuly Speaker Forced to Stop When Crowd Yells at Anti-government Talk. A near-riot occurred at the Farm ers' Grange picnic and Fourth ot July celebration n if Lacomb yester day when the principal apeakcr, L. H. McMalion of Salem, made remarks at tacking the Administration and the conscription law. It ia .aid that McMahon was forced to stop in the middle of his speech, some talk of riding him on a rail. The audience was very much angered over the remarks against the government. It was the biggest Fourth of July hat AHiauy ever saw. Never in the history of the city have so many peo- le been in town. They came from all lirectiona and from every part of the -late. Ihcre were over 30,000 of linn here in all. The Oregon Elcc ric brought in ocr IbOU of that num ber on three special trains, two from ortallis and one from Portland. The S. I', brought in nearly a thousand n one train ironi Detroit,. and every tlier train arriving in the city was packed to the guards. The city was literally swept off its feci and was taken liv surmise bv he invading hosts. No onr expected o many people. Hut there was one little elrment that was not fully con l rrd in reckoning with the hosts. rtul element was advertising. Trie Round-Up and 4th of July was the best advertised event ever held in Al bany, and in the same ratio the crowd was the biKgcst. Next year everyone will know better and be more near ly ready for the occasion. The parade yesterday morning was the biggest of its kind ever held here. much credit cannot be given those in charge. J A. Howard, chairman of the par ade committee, was marshall of the day, and rode at the head of the pro cession Then came the Corvalli- Fircmrn's band, which did fine work nil through the Round-Up and was greatly appreciated by the people of lhany and those attending the Round-Up. Next came the militia boys march ing proudly, followed by the G. .. R. in autos. the W. R. C. and the Spanish War Veterans. The Red Cross section was one of the striking atures of the parade, a large number f fine looking ladies occupying a long string of cars. The standard bearer on horseback and the Red Cross ambulance added to this section. The fire department, always a feat ure, showed up well. In the private Moats there were many attractive features. The progress of Liberty from 1"6 .portraved bv a carefully worked out floai. was presented by the Fortmiltcr company. Hauser Broi.1 float was also attractive well as Minton-Gilbert's. and there were others that added Of course the mam float was the car bearing Miss Isabelle Young, who made a beautiful Goddess of Liberty The car was prettily decorated and the character was well presented. The Honor Guard girls made a fine appearance marching and were ap plauded along the line. They have learned much about marching and ue the regular military formation. I here were so many other features abtMt the parade that a stenograph tf would have been necessary to have recorded them all, but all were worthy of special notice if space wouTd per mil. The p.irade ended at the public park where the program was held. Hon. Dan J. Malarky of Tortland, made a stirring, patriotic appeal to the ieo- pM , and was roundly cheered. In the afternoon the crowds divid ed between the citv and the wild west show, and it is said by those who re mainrd down town that there seemed 10 be more people left in the city than were at the Round-Up It was a ercat day and one long to be remem bered by Albany.

The decision was fair in every respect, and Fletcher is the happiest mau in town today. It is his first prize saddle, and a worthy one, too, from the shops of Power & Son oT Pendleton. Uroncho Bob Hall, of Independ ence, who was another favorite during the show, was given second place, and Dan Thompson of Montana, was third. Babe Ewing of Prineville. who made the finals, did not get into the. money . Arrah-go-wan, High Binder, Ponce Villa and Black Diamond were the horses picked to do the dirty work in the ftnaU. Many good rides were also made in the semi-finals yester day, A. C. Stammard of Oklahoma, putting a thrill into the proceedings b getting bucked off and the horse knocking over and breaking a motion picture machine and closely missing the operator. The judges today figured up the totals and awarded the best all-around cowboy prie to Johnnie Tayche of Pendleton. The selection oi the man for this honor was a difficult one, At first it looked like Buff Jones or Bob if all would have it easily, but final summary of the points showed Tayche to have 110, Fletcher 105; Hall, 100; Saunders. 95; Jones, 95; and Guy Ray, 90. The award is made the basis of entry and winnings in the most different events. Winners in the three-day events are: Pony Express Hank Potts, Los ngeles, first; Chas. Reed.

NO ACCIDENTS DURIN6 THE ROUND-UP All Had Good Times in Quiet and Orderly Manner; No Booze Flowed. Considering the fact that the larf- st crowds that ever filled the city. were here yesterday, the order was the best that could be desired. The special and regular officers handled the situation in splendid shape. There were no arrests for drunkenness dur ing the three days. The amount of disorderly conduct was nil. The cowboys here were gen tlemanly, quiet and sober and the most austere church worker could find no fault in their conduct. The tney dances were the boon to thou sands of people in search of amuse ment and much pleasure was gained in this manner. The band and military lub dance in the armory was crowd- dunnir the three days and last ight the boys stopped playing from ahaustion with couples still on the floor. t It was an ideal Fourth, and not an accident nor an arrest was made upon the celebration.
