That's What Was Done in Weiser
Tuesday.
NATIONS DAY DULY OBSERVED


The day in Weiser was pleasant.
The new sprinkler had proved it's ef-
ficiency and the absence OF dust was
very agreeable feature. Walt Ly-
ons opened the exercises about sun
rise with national salute that woke
up the town and suburbs and remind
ed the loyal population that consin-
ued patriotic demonstrations would
be the order Of the day. Old Glory
was displayed from all prominent
buildings and in fact it was he day
OF the flag, from the miniature en-
blem TO the broad banner on the flag
staff, always in view.
The celebration was in the main, q
local affair. Many localities that
usually come here had their own
neighborhood gatherings, but not
withstanding, the attendance from
the near vicinity was quite large and
by / O'Clock the streets assumed a
holiday appearance. Marshal OF the
Day, F. T. Page, soon had the parade
organized and in marching order.
The principal feature Of this was
the bicycle review, for which prizes
we're offered for the most tastefulIy
decorated wheel Headed by the
Weiser brass band the column passed
in review through the principa
streets and then to the grounds where
the exercises of the day were to b'
held. Here commodious pavilion
had been built of sufficient dimen
sions to accommodate all with seat
and shelter from the heat. The ex
ercises opened by the band, playing
in fine style, The Star Spangled Ban
ner and followed by the invocatio
by Rev. Mcpherson. Music by til
choir was the next in order and 80
: 10 by Miss Jeapie Anderson. Th
, Grafton that followed, delivered b
Hon S. B. Kingsbury, was In all re
E spects mastery effort and listene

arranged his subject so that all poin,
