Spaulding Logging Company VIII
Get Supplies by Way of Dali
Ias and Falls City.

The long talked Of wagon road
from the Spaulding logging camp on
the Big Luckiamute river to the
Baker ranch on the Falls City-Rock
Creek road is to be built at once. The
Spaulding Logging Company has
given orders to its foreman to begin
the work, and it is expected that the
road will be open for travel before the
rainy season begins.
A subscription paper was circulated
bv H. w. Bancroft among the busi-
ness men Of Falls City and Dallas
this week, and about $50 was raised
to help build the road. The largest
contributor to this fund was L. Gerl-
niger, president of the Dallas & Falls
CITY railroad, who donated $50. The
SpauIding Company will give an
amount equal to that subscribed by
the people Of Falls City and Dallas,
and the total amount thus raised will
be amply sufficient to build the road.
When the new road is completed, all
supplies for the logging camps on
the Big Luckiamute river will be
taken in by way Of Dallas and Falls
CITY. The Spaulding Company will
save 13 miles Of teaming by travelling
this route, and the present road from
Airlie up the Big Luckiamute will be
abandoned. The proposed road will
be about five miles in length, and will
intersect the Rock Creek road at a
point Il miles southwest Of Falls City.
Two miles Of tais road have already
been completed by the logging COM
pany, leaving about three miles yet to
be constructed

THE IDEAL FOURTH.
II should he "A Festival of Faith and
Thanksgiving.

The main feature i'm the celebration
of the nations birthday should be the
expression Of its faith in the greatness
of its destiny and the glory of its mis-
sion. The celebration Of the festival
should be thoughtful, dignified and
beautiful; but above all else ii should
be jubilant and enthusiastic.
1t is to be regretted that dignified,
appropriate, instructive and attractive
public celebrations Of the day are not
the general rule in every city, town
and hamlet. In every community there
should be a formal celebration suffi-
GENTLY spectacular, musical and ora
torical to be both popular and inspir-
ing. but we are not to undervalue the
crudest forms in which the patriot
enthusiasm OF the rising generation
finds vent. 1t means much that to the
children the Fourth Of July is the most
jubiant OF holidays.
On this day enthusiasm Is the best
education. Those forms Of expression
Of patriotic sentiment which are the
most pleasing to the masses and most
captivating W NOilI dit lhC bNSN, ~
cause they are the most effective. The
ideal Fourth of July celebration in
Maine or Manila, In Alabama or Alas
ka, in Ohio or Oregon, in Porto Rico
or Pennsylvania. in New York or Hon

will set them marching and singing
and waving the star spangled banner
will enrich their minds with pictur-

nations and fire their hearts with vi

OF the American people. On this day
let the skeptic become shouting be-
lever and the pessimist an optimist.
