THE MUSIC STARTED.
Committees Appointed for the Fourth
-Grand Program Mapped ont.
Which Will Need Funds.

Chairman John G.. Wright, G. II.
Monroe, II. S. Simon and w. l..
Wade, Of the general committee on
celebration, met yesterday afternoon
at Mr.. SimOn's store and talked
over the manner Of procedure.
Their active and intelligent discus
sion and their wise conclusions
would convince any observer that
there was no mistake made i'm their
appointment. They made the fol-
lowing selection of subcommittee:
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
II. $. Simon, J. \. Eaton,
John II. Brooks.
COMMITTEE OF ORATORY.
John G. Wright, III Murphey
and T. McF. Patton.
COMMITTEE ON TNvITTAION.
G. II. Monroe, Col. NJ. w. Hunt.
John Knight, a. +. Hofcr Jr. and
Geo. ii. Saubert.
There are sever other committees
to be appointed yet AMI this will be
done rs soon as the work uf the
finance committee is accomplished,
hence the Importance will be at once
recognized Of recrIvinr these gentle
men literally when they APPROACH
you, which they Will shortly. There .
is energy and pluck on that com
mittoe and you might as well come
down" without kick, because
they'll overcome you at last.
Speaking seriously, the character
of the celebration now depends en-
tircly upon the amount of money
raised. The committee has in
mind as fine program as ever made
the national holiday pass pleasantly,
but they cannot carry ii out without
funds. Last year there was more
money spent away from home by
Salem people than would meet the
expenses Of halfa doZcH celebrations.
besides the amount that was kept
,ut Of the city by reason Of ~ having
zone here.
There is now such "a program
mapped out as will bring people
rom Benton, Linn, Polk, Yamhill
md ClacEhm1s counties, aud in
nrgc numbers, so that the commerce
# the city on that day il incalcul
ble. And every branch of busi-
less will feel it, It is not this man :
r that man who will reap the ben-
Ut, but all will share Il crcin, If =
ONE mau in special line Of trade i
appens to profit directly, his profits -
o into the general business Of the "
ity in the very near future.
One of the things to avoid is envy
4 thisway. Some may think "Oh, =,
Is only such and such branches ,
hat profit by n big crowd; | make
othirg out Of it," Perhaps not
hat day, but the next day aud the
ext that "such and suchp q mans O..
rosperity is shared with you by -
Is purchases. Drop old prcjudices, n
hen, and meet the committee with
earty liberaity.
As capital city of one of the
randest states in the galaxy: as
ne handsomest, most literally laid :
at city west Of the Rocky noun ~
ins, Salem should have Il pride in "
nking celebration that can be re. !,
rred to with pleasant recollections. -,
II that Is necessary for this is
lited liberal action on the part of \,
e business men-thc committees
g all right. "
1t Is deemed best at the initial =
int to thus discuss these matters - -,
actically and have it understood ~
hat is necessary. The JOURNAL -,
lieves that in the bright lexicon Of =,
lem's determination for progress
ere Is no such word as "mil,n
erefore 1t has full faith that every
luircment will be met.
There is speaker in view, who,
le can he here, will draw such
wd as Salem never saw, but it
uld bc trespassing ON confidence ia,
outline tha program before It's WA
npletion. The glad surprise will an'
all the more complete when II !
