O resurrect stale Groceries from dark and musty corners-
We believe firmly in the hygienic and business value
of pure food products. As a dry goods merchant who
understands his business keeps his shelves as free as
possible from shop worn and out-of-date goods, so it
becomes the model grocer to steer clear of musty,
wormy, dirty and impure preparations.
T
UR Baking Powders, Syrups, Teas, Coffees, Spices and
Fruits and Vegetables are selected stock—with refer­
ence to the fact that our customers are to use them.

These figures are not exaggerated.
There were more rather than less. And
it was as orderly and well-dressed a
crowd as was ever seen on a similar oc­
casion. Not a case of drunnkeness was
observed by the writer, and he saw more
and prettier white dresses and pink and
blue sashes than were ever displayed in
Yamhill county. The ideal weather and
the stirring music by the home band,
which is a very creditable combination
of players, kept everybody in just the
humor to enjoy the program. This was
carried out as published. The parade
formed and marched through town head­
ed by W. T. Macy on a black charger as
marshal of the day. He was sent for
solely to lend dignity to the occasion.
The parade was not large, but highly
creditable, particularly the load of little
girls in the liberty car, drawn by four
gray horses driven by Mr. Hutchcroft.
Miss Morgan as goddess, and Miss Bed-
well as Columbia, were beautiful. Wol-
berg’s park is the equal of any grove in
the county for picnic purposes. It has
an open center with a band stand, and
skirting this is a circle of raised seats. A
race track runs through the grove, which
is open yet dense enough to preserve a
good shade. Adjoining the grove is a
large open field for bitching purposes,
and in it has been constructed a bicycle
track surrounding n ball ground and
grand stand to seat 400 people.
The program at tlie park was as fol­
lows :

After dinner there was a 50-yard free
for all foot race with prizes. This was
won by Fred Bunn, first, Wib Dudley,
second. Then came a race for boys un­
der 14 years. Won by McCarty, first,
Bunn, second, A three-legged race was
won by Dudley and Perkins, A sack
race by Tom Fay, a ladieB’ 50-yard
race by Miss May Stoddard,
At 3 p.
m., a game of ball was called bitween
North Yamhill and the “Torpedoes,” a
nine from Wolfe & Zwicker’s employes
in Portland, composed of Shay, Hume,
Black, Downs, Parrott, Corliss, Seville,
Wolfe and Gardner. North Yambill’s
personnel was Tallman, Hauswirth, Mor­
gan, L. Ferguson, Bunn, J. Ferguson,
Walker, Jones and Blackburn. In the
second inningaregular head to-head col­
lision occurred. Tallman, catcher, and
Morgan, short-stop, were both after a
fly ball, and apparently didn't see each
other, and the captain said nothing. The
result was a severe bump that floored them
both, and Tailman went down like a log
and failed to rise. He was resuscitated
after some effort, and showed great grit
in going on with the game, being the
only catcher that can hold their man
Hauswirth. They ran up five scores in
this inning to the Torpedoes’ two, and
were in high feather. But the odds were
against them, not counting the accident,
and they were “shut out” till the last in­
ning, when Blackburn got in a run, giv-
Ihetn a total of 6. The Torpedoes were
“shut out” t w ice, and made 16 scores.
Two mile bicycle races were run after
the game, which practically closed the
program.
Wib Dudley gave an exhibition of very
ekillful riding of a bunch-grass broncho,
which amused a big crowd. Dudley is
probably the best rider in the Willamette
valley.
every American citizen, the speaker be­
ing frequently interrupted by hearty
applause. Mr. McCamant talked for one
hour and 30 minutes. There was not one
moment of the time that the large audi­
ence was not intensely interested. Fol­
lowing the dinner hour were bicycle and
foot races, two of the former being won
by Lester Neal of this city. The game
of coho by the Indians was a hot contest
and was made more exciting by the hid­
eous war whoops. There was a display
of fireworks in the evening.
DAYTON.
IL Mauts is home from The Dalles on
a visit to his fathet1.
Miss Minnie Lefevre came up from
Portland recently on a visit to her sister

caught his pants in the chain and was
thrown, resultingin a broken collar bone.
Dan Abdill, while riding home from
McMinnville, took a header by the break­
ing of his wheel, and was slightly dis­
figured.
The people of Dayton were well pleased
with their visit to McMinnville during
tlie encampment, and all say the people
of McMinnville did themselves proud.
The Woodmen of the World organized
a ladies’ circle here Thursday evening
with 38 members, a large showing for
the first meeting. May the good work
never fail them.
The town park has been finished up
in 4th of July style. The green trees and
grass in center, and the fence painted
white, makes a beautiful contrast. Good
for our city dads.
The 4th of July was duly honored at
Dayton with a picnic in the park. Pa­
triotic speeches, good singing and lots of
sports were highly enjoyed by all. About
3,000 people were present. The Wood
men went through their usual )>erform-
a nee, sawing, chopping and ladies driv­
ing nails.
