PLAN
MERRY
FOURTH
Committee Met Last Night
and Arranged Many of the
Details for Celebration

Salem will celebrate the Fourth OF
July as it has never before been com
memorated in this city. The various
committees met in the city hall last
evening and talked over the plans upon
which they have been working fo~ sew
eral weeks past. Naturally in the ar
rangements of such a celebration the
thing to be ascertained primarily is
the amount of money available to car.
ry out the affair to successful compile
ton. That some hard but effective
work has been done by the various
committees was demonstrated by the
announcement that nearly $1150 had
been raised among the business firms of
the city. The business of the evening
was the apportionment of money to the
committees who have charge Of the ar
rangements for the celebration. Man
ager Rolin X. Page stated he had
taken steps relative to the illuminations
and that 600 incandescent lights would
be employed for that purpose. The
Citizens Light & Traction Co. will
make liberal donation for that part
of the celebration, and about 800 was
apportioned to the illumination fund.
The scheme if carried out as suggested
by Mr.. Page will prove unusually at
tractive, especially at the intersection
of State and Commercial streets. That
party of the city will be blaze of
glory never before seen here.
Since the San Francisco disaster it
has been difficult to obtain electrical
appliances, but Salem will not suffer
in the lighting effects to be given the
evening of the Fourth.
The parade, too, promises to be the
finest ever seen here. The business
firms of the city are going to be repre-
sented by floats of all descriptions.
sizes and shapes. When in Portland
few days ago, Major Loomis contract
ed for four of the floats that were in
the great parade at the Made-in- Oregon
fair. These will be decorated anew !
and especially fitted up for the celebra'
ton. In the parade will also be seen
the various trade unions of the city,
he lodges, the militia, the fremen, the
nigh school, the rural mail carriers, etc.
The committee is also considering to
offer prizes for the best display in the
procession. Chairman West was en-
.husiastic over that part of the cele-
oration and indications are that the
parade will approach to gorgeousness.
It is also probable that the Uniform
Rank of the knights of Pythias from
Woodburn will take part in this great
civic parade. AS for the music, four
bands will peal forth patriotic airs and
stir the blood Of the assembled patri- |
,ts. Lieutenant Holman was appoint |
ID chairman on the military committee.

Late in the Day Which Was One Of
Mixed Sentiment--Gains Shown
In Individual Stocks.

New York. Sept. THE price move
ment of stocks today reflected a mixed
sentiment in speculation and one
liable to alterations during the day.
The most general show of strength
came early in the day and this was
largely in sympathy with the special
strength of individual stocks Later
in the day there was compr extensive
reaction. The decline was attributed
to heavy cash losses which banks

have suffered. A chilling effect upon

Shaw's letter to the National banks

forcement of the rule laid down by
the secretary would greatly pinch the
resources now employed in sustaining
speculation stocks is clear. The pos
Isible results to follow from interior
ences thus suggested were not rel

GUARDED BY CANNON.
Home Of a Millionaire That L
Armed Like an Ancient
Fortress.

In an old country like our own, with
its ancient traditions Of respect for
law and order, firearms are seldom re-
sorted to as a protection against law
breakers.
In the United States, however,
things are widely different.
Revolyers, rifles and even cannon
are called into service as protection
against thieves and rioters, and, when
necessary, the, weapons are used with
far less provocation than would be the
case here.
An instance in point is the home Of
a certain millionaire, which is guard
ed like fortress, with perfect arse
nal of weapons, including cannon and
howltzers, which can be fired by cleo
trio wires from the house.
In addition, the grounds surround.
ing the mansion are fitted with thou
sands Of electric light bulbs, so as to
be instantly Illuminated in case Of at
tack.
Some Of the large factories, too, are
furnished with Maxim guns for use
against turbulent strikers.

IN BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA.
A Holiday World with It's Wealth
Of Fragrant Easter
Lilies.

As we wander through the streets
Of the white city, houses and walls,
and even the square cisterns on the
hillsides, all Of dazzling white, we ask
ourselves If 1t can really be of the
earth earthly, but pennants and flags
Of many colors, flying in all direc-
tons from the ofang, speak to us
the language of terrestrials from
every quarter Of the globe, for Ber-
muda is the English halfway house
Of the high seas, and here nations
meet, greet and part, writes Ellen
Wood Coombs, In Four-Track News.
A holiday world 1t seems, with
wealth and fragrance Of flowers to
complete the gala effect. Fields of
Easter lilies nod their satin helmets
in the sunshine, and century plants,
towering 20 feet above, throw out bril-
liant candelabra Of blossoms in strik-
ing contrast. Waxen scrolls of callas
peep through lattice and gateway, and
the night. blooming cereus, falling in
masses over the white walls, filings to
the darkness of its own little world
the heavy perfume of Its flowers.
