seen anywhere. Just think Of It,
tliNre WAS not an arrest and
no fights, which are always
disastrous in its effect on peo-
pie who like to have a good
time in the right way. The
business men of the city do
mated their money cheerfully
and also their time in fixing up
floats, and later on we will pub
llsh the names of all those con-
tributing. Taking it all in all
there has never been anything
like it ever given in the county,
and the residents of this city
should feel proud that we could
have such a celebration.
"HURRAY FOR EVERY
THING"
FOURTH OF JULY NOTES.
The Missouri Valley Military
band, under the efficient leader
ship of Prof. Peterson, did
much to make the day a sue
cess. They did not hesitate to
give the people their moneys
worth all day and played from
early in the morning until 8
o'clock at night. If they could
have heard the favorable com
ments yesterday, the boys
would feel that their efforts
are appreciated.
The band stand built by the
ladies of the Improvement
League and donated to the city
of Missouri Valley is something
that has been wantedfor years.
1t is nicely finished and is
equipped with four 32-candle
electric lights, which makes it
pleasant for the band boys. 1t
was used yesterday for the
first time. The ladies are re-
celving many compliments for
their good work, not only in
this direction, but in the gener-
al up-building of the city.
Chief Neufind, of the fire
department, surely deserves
the thanks of the people for
his good work during the
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1907-07-11

THE DICGrSTsCEI. ITERATION
EVER HELD m no. VALLEY

The Day Was Fine and The
the Day. Fully Eight
Present and Enj,
Well, the biggest celebration
in the history of Missouri VAL
ley is past and everybody is
happy to think that it was such
a grand success. EARLY yester-
day morning people began to
arrive by carriages, wagons
and on the trains and by 8
o'clock the streets were pretty
we'll filled. They brought huge
lunch baskets and came with
the intention of spending the
whole day. The sun came up
bright as in happy accord with
the spirit of the day and this
helped to put the people in the
mood for anything in the way
of pleasure. By 10 o'clock
there must have been between
1000 and 5000 people present,
waiting for the signal for the
big parade to start. Firecrack-
ers, toy pistols and revolvers
shooting blank cartridges
helped to swell the din, but
everybody was careful and
there were no fatalities, which
is a proud record for such an
event.
MERCHANTS INDUSTRIAL PARADE
The merchants industrial
parade was surely one of the
finest parades of the kind ever
seen in Western Iowa. A large
number of the merchants and
civic organizations of the city
participated, each one furnish
ing a float. Everyone put out
a special effort to make their
float one of the best, and they
surely succeeded, as the floats
were handsome and represented
the business the proprietor was
engaged i'm. There never has
been as fine a parade seen in
any city in Iowa the size of
Missouri Valley. The NOR
chants put out a great deal of
work and considerable expense
on their floats and the words of
praise received from the thous-
ands of people on the streets
showed that their efforts were
fully appreciated. At 10 o'clock
the procession formed at Eighth
and Erie streets and passed
down Erie and then north to
Huron and then east on Huron
to place of starting. The fol-
lowing floats were represented
in the procession:
A. T. Smith, flag bearer.
Hose team.

shops. Six husky firemen took
part in this affair, which
created much amusement for
the spectators. Many people
could not get up close enough

The Day Was Fine and There Were No Accidents TO Mar
the Day. Fully Eight Thousand People Were
Present and Enjoyed the Occasion.

their machines, and at 200
o'clock he began his address,
speaking from the starters
stand, while the grand stand
was packed with an cnthusi-
attic audience. About one
tenth of those who would liked
to have heard Mr.. O'Connor
were able to get into
the pavilion. Mr.. O'Connor
did himself proud on this
occasion. He is a true SON
of Harrison county, proud of
his birth place and his relation
ship, and manifested the old
Irish ability to say the right
thing in the right place. His
address was scholarly, argu-
incentive and eloquent, full of
historical data, wit and beauty.
His reference to Washington,
jefferson and the Fathers of
the Revolution, was brilliant
and only equaled by his words
of the "lmmortal Lincoln" the
wisdom of q Roosevelt, and tho
greetings of our country and
our flag.
Then came the sports, which
we give in order as they were
pulled off:
SACK RACE
Robert Riley, LIST, 50. 90.
Ray Single on, end, 81 90.

Ray Singleton. LIST, 50 90.

Clcary, End, $500.
BOYS RACE UNDER Ia
j. Kinney, LIST, 5000.
Mahoney, End, $1.0O
The CREASED pole feature
was one OF the most laughable
of the day. There were many
boys who thought it looked
easy to shin up this pole, but
their "hopes" were dashed to
the ground. Following this
came the horse race.
! MILE RUNNING RACE
Antrim, LIST, $500.
Campbell, End, $500.
There were three entries in
this race.
Did gou ever try to catch a
creased pig? Well the one let
loose yesterday at the grounds
weighed between 80 and 80
pounds and there was certainly
a scramble for it. The
winner of this event was Jim
Finley and we will! say that he
got his moneys worth. Fol
lowing these sports a ball game
between Modale and Missouri
Valley occurred. The local
team defeated the Modale
bunch by a score of 10 to 2.
There was plenty of enthuisi-
asm, however, and the band
helped out with selections be-
tween the innings.
After the sports were con-
cluded at the grounds, the peo-
pile remained and ate their sup
pers and then about ZOO
o'clock they drove into town to
wait for the Illuminated fire
run and to enjoy themselves in
various ways. There were
many private displays of fire.

We're sent up from the streets.
The fire team certainly made
an imposing spectacle as they
dashed down Erie street from
Sth to 2nd. The hose wagon
had been decorated and lighted
with cred fire" and as it passed
down the street, lined with
people, the driver and team
were enthusiastically applauded,
and they we'll merited it to be
sure. The fire team brought
forth many favorable comments
a fact of which we are all
proud.
The Seminole Club had
charge of the program and GER
tainly covered themselves with
glory. They kept everything
