The birth of the nation was very
appropriately celebrated at Jackson
ville on July 3. The day broke with
out a cloud, the air was agreeably
warm. About 9:30 the procession be
gan to form on Fifth St., and owing
to the numerous floats in line and
the several hundred children to be
assigned places it was several min
utes after 10 o'clock before the pa
rade was In order.
J. S. Orth and Miss Dee Ankeny
mounted on splendid horses acted ds
grand guides, followed by a float
bearing our nation's flag, Miss Edith
Priest as bearer. The band boys fol
lowed In their wagon drawn by six
white horses, then the Grand Army
of the Republic of several posts in
the county, a carriage with the presi
dent of the day, Judge Barnes, A. E.
Reames and Miss T. Bryant, the ora
tor and reader.
The glee club was then followed by
a pure white float bearing Miss Myr
tle Woodford as Angel of Peace, which
was a very pretty presentation. The
chariot was beautifully decorated
with orange and white colors, which
was a most striking resemblance of
ancient chariot drivers and was a
position gracefully filled. Miss Nettle
Lewis as Goddess of Liberty came
nxt In a handsome red float. The
t float was of forty-four girls
ed in white with white wreaths
blue sashes, representing the
states of the union. The Faith, Hope
and Charity float was presided over
by Daisy Huffer, Ella Krause and
Clara Colvlg. Another float contain
ed a dozen or more fairies and brown
ies, Mark Hanna. being represented
among the lot. The colonies were
most beautifully represented by thir
teen young ladles garbed In every
hue of the rainbow and strength and
victory held away.
Miss Birdie Schmidt was a lovely
Justice, her costume being of grwn
and purple silk. Our dear old state
of Oregon was represented by Emma
Ulrica. Her float was most artistical
ly decked with every kind of produce
and the choicest of flowers. The Army
and Navy were presided over by Wm.
Den Iff and F. Kassahfer. The next to
follow was a float designed by Bert
Whitman of Med ford representing the
C resent bicycle. The float was drawn
by six bicyclists on decorated wheels.
This was as handsome a sight as any
of tj parade.
The hose cart wes trimmed with
flowers and bunting and drawn by a
number of youths with red shirts
and caps. A darktown band of brown
ies were scattered on the hook and
ladder wagon, and brought up the
rear of the procession.
After parading all the streets, the
following program was observed at
the" court house under the cool shade
of the maples: Music by the band;
song by the glee club: prayer by Rev.
Robert Enuls, reciting the Declara
tion of Independence by Miss Bryant
In a clear loud voice; song by the
club, then the oration by A. E.
Reames, and It is claimed by some of
the oldest residents here that this
Fourth of July oration came the near
est of being directly to the point f
any ever delivered on a like occas
ion. There was a flowery beginning.
The attention of the audience was
held throughout the entire address
and those who failed to hear Mr.
Reames' address missed a fine liter
ary treat.
After all had partaken of dinner
the hundred and one amusements be
gan. At three o'clock the baseball
game was called and was closely con
tested until at six o'clock when the
Jacksonville team was declared vic
torious and was presented a fine sil

VALLEY
OF RARE
CAREFULLY EYED
The two cases of tuleremla a rare
disease, exceedingly serious but not
necessarily fatal discovered In this
county recently by the county health
department, are under observation
and responding to care, County Phy
sician Drummond aaid today. The
local cases are in the Central Point
district. Isolated, and under control.
Dr. Drummond says that tuleremla
is an Infection caused by handling
skinned rabbits,, is contagious and
dangerous. The patients In this
oounty had been engaged In skinning
rabbits for their pelts and grinding
up the meat for chicken feed. Squir
rels, blood-sucking files and birds are
carriers of the disease, but rabbits
are the most common. Tuleremla
was first located in Utah, where rab
bit skinning is an Industry. The
disease was classified and Its cure
and control started. It also prevailed
among the blacks of the south.
In most Instances tuleremla attacks
the hands first and spreads to other
portions of the body. It is particu
larly dangerous on the face, as it
affects the eyes. The aliment also
weakens glands.
The best preventative la not to skin
rabbits. If afflicted, the advice is
to consult a physician and not em
ploy "home cures."

STATE CONVENTION
Enterprise Orange met June 35
with a fair attendance and two
guests present. Mrs. Harry Purrler,
secretary, and Betty Hlllls, the new
lecturer, were stranded up In the
mountains with a broken wheel and
were unable to be present.
8 later Esther Smith substituted
as secretary and Sister Vivian Nor
man Barto filled the lecturer's chair.
opening the program with song and
music and reading the message to
state Orange convention from State
Master M. C. Glover, which Brother
J, R. Bowen brought to the meet
ing. After discussion and a violin solo
by Brother HI Moore the meeting
was turned over to the worthy mas
ter Eugene Moore, who, after the
regular business Invited Brother J.
R. Bowen, delegate to state Orange
at Sllverton to deliver his conven
tion report, also Sister Bowen to give
a report from the Home Economics
division.
Brother Bowen reported that the
hall was full to overflowing at every
session there being a Orange mem
bership of over 6000 within a radius
of 60 miles of Sllverton.
Much enthusiasm and interest was
shown throughout the entire session.
Much good was derived and dele
gates went home filled with a de
sire to. help Improve conditions
throughout Oregon,
By way of enjoyment 750 delegates
drove 25 miles to Silver Palls, start
ing at 5:00 a. m. to partake of a
twenty-five cent breakfast, a feature
of which was the largest strawber
ries Imaginable, so big that he said
Sister Bowen Inquired If those big
red things were sausages?
Seven thousand acres of strawber
ries around Sllverton will not be
picked owing to lack of market. Ber
ries are selling four boxes for ten
cents. One man had two hundred
acres going to waste.
The Grangers saw wonderful crops
of wheat, barley and hay during their
drive over this delightful country.
The second evening of the conven
tion Sllverton treated the delegates
to a strawberry festival, giving every
one all the strawberries and cream
they could eat.
The Bowens had a narrow escape
from death on the way to Sllverton
when a huge log came hurtling down
the mountain side and struck the
pavement only a few feet In front
of their car.
The state session passed a resolu
tion to have a state bank at Salem
with an auxiliary bank at each
county seat.
Investigation showed that the old
battleship Oregon is costing the tax
payers $9000 per year for mainten
ance, having several aalarled people
on board as caretakers, reception
committee, etc.
This and many other leaks In ex
penditure was brought out and dis
cussed. The good and 111 effects of chain
stores was under the spot light and
It was shown that there was a good
as well as a bad side to the ques
tion. Sister Barto told how the Skagg
Brothers by buying all the sheep In
the several mountain and western
states had saved the sheep men from
going broke last year, and that
Skaggs even allowed the sheep men
to shear their sheep and retain the
wool after whlah these many thous
ands of sheep were run through
their hundreds of stores all over the
nation as moderately priced meat,
benefitting consumers as well as
sheep owners.
Only such a corporation as "Safe
way" with Its enormous buying
power and means of distribution
could have had the ability to put
through such a tremendous deal.
Sister Bowen In her report, gave
It as a consensus of the home eco
nomics committee that women's
clubs and activities caused women
to grow and made them more val
uable as wives, mothers and citi
zens. The members of Enterprise Orange
decided to spend July Fourth at the
Reesbeck home, taking lunches and
picnicking, playing games under the
trees.
