HOW WE
WILL
CELEBRATE
Outline of Salem'S Coming
Demonstration
Day Will Be One of COntinn.
GUS Entertainment

The details of Salem's grand Inde
pendence day celebration have not
been completed, but from the outline
of the program Il is assured that the
demonstration will be complete, from
both a patriotic and entertaining point
of view.
The day will be initiated with the
customary morning salute, to be fired
on Wilson's avenue. At $3.50 the
street procession will be formed, and,
after covering the line of march, that
is yet to be decided upon, the citizens
will convene at Marion square about
10 30 o'clock, where an interesting ex-
ercise of an appropriate character will
be given. The Grafton of the day will
be delivered by the Hon. VIM. Colvig,
of Jacksonville; Miss Musa Geer, of
Salem, will read the Declaration of
independence; Rev. p. s. Knight, the
pioneer Congregational minister, will
act as chaplain; the five bands will
play national airs in unison, and patri-
otic songs will be given by a chorus of
so voices.
This will conclude the program for
the forenoon. Immediately after din
ner a shooting match will be held on
the river front, for which a purse of
SIS has been offered The balloon as
cension will follow, and a series of
vaudeville performances, including
plantation songs, etc, will be given by
the colored jubilee singers, on plat
forms constructed at points on the
main streets, where the greatest num-
ber Of spectators can be accommo-
dated. The Tice sisters and Christian,
the expert skater, will follow in some
interesting exhibitions. A program
Of street sports, including sveral nov
city races. will be duplicated on the
two principal streets. The winners
will receive prizes that have been con-
tributed by Salem's business men.
The real entertaining features OF
the days demonstration are reserved
for the evening These will be sing
ing by a large chorus from barge in
the river, and Christian, the skater,
will give his wonderful electrical act
The celebration will conclude with the
most elaborate and grandest display of
fireworks from the river bar that has
ever been seen in Western Oregon.
Another attraction for the day. in
addition TO the regular celebration pro
gram, is the match game of baseball
scheduled for the afternoon at the
state fair grounds between the Uni
versity OF California and the Chemawa
Indian school team.
Five bands will be in attendance,
and there will be an abundance of mu-
sic. The bands engaged are: Salem
Military band, Chemawa Indian school.
State Reform school, Monmouth and
EOla Hayseed bands The last namad
organization has a surprise In store for
the celebrators, and will give a novel
program on the streets. The initial
part of their program will be or a bur
lesque nature, and will conclude with
some fine solos and selections, show
ing the talent of the performers.
