JULY 4th AT HOME.

Although Hope did not attempt to
celebrate the great American holiday
this year, bv no means did all, or half OF
our citizens go elsewhere on that dav.
Many however did drive over to Port
land Saturday, and unfortunate for them
it rained most all day. so that the pro-
gram could not be carried out. While
here at home we made the best of the
situation and had foot races, bicycle
races, pie eating matches galore.
In the forenoon the neighboring farm.
ers came to town in large numbers and
soon the following program commenced:
FOOT RACES.
Guy jackson and Robt Mcclellan run
100 yards for purse of $40. Mcclellan
won.
Next came Doc. Hadwen and Chae.
Pake, so yards, for s. purse. Won by
Doc.
Then E. H. Stevens. Chas. Pake and
Robt. Mcclellan run 100 yards for 90.
Stevens ran the fastest and captured
| the money.
L. A. jacobson and w. T. McMahon
each thought himself the tieetest on
foot, SO in order to settle the dispute a
race was soon arranged for 80 yards. A
Oox ol nne cigars was lue purse. MIC
| Mahon won it.
The little boys were rot to be out
done, so four OF them run 100 yards for
so cent PURSES cents to winner and
Is to second. Earnest jacobson, Eddie
Milligan, Harry Rice and Buz Warner,
were the participants Milligan won
first and Harry Rice second money.
Now here come the fun that made
everybody split themselves laughing. 1t
was the three leg race between four
little follows, two tied together. They
were Steon Nelson and Monkey Rice,

it would seem that twenty-onc years of

you take into consideration that the
