Big Fire
Cracker
The explosion that wound up the
Fourth of July Celebration
on Cooney Island.

Two mammoth firecrackers stood in
the window of Casey's grocery. They
were IL inches long and proportion
ately thick. -ls-5 ....
For a month before the Fourth of
July these gigantic indicators of en-
thusiasm had stood in the window like
British soldiers on dress parade, while
a predatory spider hung a filmy ham,
mock between them and calmly killed
his buzzing victims over two powder
mines.
The firecrackers were the admira-
ton and the envy of all the boys in
Cooney Island. 1t was seldom that a
youthful nose was not fattened against
the window pane in ardent covetous-
ness.
But thee price demanded by Casey
for the thunderers was prohibitive, so
far as the boys were concerned, and
there was not one of them patriotic or
courageous enough to invest 25 cents
in single ecstatic explosion.

BENTON'S
SCHOOL
FAIR
Many AmuSementS But the ChiIdren's
Work Was the Greatest Attraction

Corvallis, Or, Aug. 30.-The first
day of the county school fair was
what is called a great success. The
day was perfect, and the attendance
was large. The arrangements to en-
tertain the crowd were excellent.
There was balloon ascension with
terrifying parachute jump. There
were snake eaters and fakirs galore.
but best of all was the actual exhibit
of products of the soil and of the
handiwork of the children of the
public schools of Benton county. In
all 500 children actually exhibited,
$1100 in prizes were distributed,
nearly 5000 square feet of floor
space was filled with the public
school exhibits of the county. Or
gans, book cases, monographs and
libraries were presented to the
schools, the gifts of Corvallis busi-
ness men. Benton county has got
great big advertisement as one of
the finest producing counties in the
state, and knockout blow has been
delivered to theories of race sui
eide.
The Speakers Platform.
Flanked by rearguard of Span
ish war veterans, the large platform
at the west entrance to the court
house was a blaze of colors-bunt-
ing, flags and an awning of can
vas to keep off the sun. At 2 p. m.
the half-mlle long procession OF
school children, in which at least
1900 participated, had filed past
and assembled on the court house
grounds. There must have been
1000 people on the grounds when
Judge McFadden called to order.
The Procession.
The children from the district
schools of the county, headed by the
Philomath school, led the procession
through the streets. The Corvallis
schools and those nearby closed the
marching columns. The principals
led each group of children, and the
women teachers walked alongside.
All waved flags, wore white dresses,
pretty hats and fluttering ribbons.
"Ain't they cute" did ou ever
were the most frequent amations
of the crowds.

ment. The first round of applause
came--a hearty one-in response to
his eulogy of the one man to whom
this great fair and this whole dem.
onstration was due, County Superin'
tendent George w. Denman. He
then introduced Prof. L. r.. Alder

The sight of the marching column
OF schoo' children going by was a
very inspiring sight, They repre-
sented the home and the school. the
work of careful, conscientious teach
ers and faithful, devoted fathers
and mothers, the mothers the great
est teachers of all. The school fair
is a growing idea. 1t was highly
commended by all the speakers. The
exhibit spoke for itself. Pride beam
ing on all faces showed that the
people of Benton county spoke their
unanimous approval.
