While the rains of the week
have not been general, a consid-
cradle portion of the country has
received quite a generous supply
of moisture and it has proven
beneficial at the growing crops.
Grain has been quite backward
but it has not been damaged by
the cold weather and with the
usual June rains and warm
weather we may expect good
crops. Fruit prospects are not
very encouraging at this time on
account of cold nights but still
we may expect a very good
yield of apples.

BIG CELEBRATION PLANNED FOR 4Th.
Development Congress, Horse Racing and
Baseball Garnes---S Several Days.

The committee to secure fnan-
ces with which to properly cele-
brate the 4th of July was more
or less discouraged the first of
the week but NJ. L. Lewis and
Dell Dibble got busy and sue
ceeded in raising quite an addi-
tion to the fund and now sufi-
cient is subscribed to make the
Eagle scream loud.
1t is planned to have at least
four days and possibly six, In
vitations have been sent to Grant
and Malheur counties suggesting
a three team base ball tourna-
ment to cover the 1st. End. 3rd,
and 4th and should the outside
counties accept it is likely such
will be the program for those
days with some horse racing add
ed on the 3rd. 1t is proposed to
give at least $1,000 for horse
racing during the week and pos
sibly more if the ball teams fail
to respond. Should the latter
not come the racing will be sub
stituted.
The celebration proper will be
held on Saturday, the 3rd, and
the committee hopes to make it
one of the best yet undertaken.
A parade with floats, liberty cars,
etc. with patriotic addresses and
music will be a feature of the
forenoon followed by a basket
dinner and barbecue at the fair
grounds. The afternoon will be
taken up with base ball, horse
racing and other sports.
The program for the first two
days will be so arranged as to |
not conflict with the Oregon
Idaho Development congress
which will hold a two days ses-
sion in this city. The program
for this congress is in the hands
of the Commercial Club and no
doubt full announcement will be
made within a short time.
The celebration committee can
not announce a definite program
until responses have been receiv-
ed from the ball teams of Grant
and Malheur counties but the
people may be assured of a good
time. The band will give a con-
cert on the evening of June 30 l
and the same boys will be hosts
at big ball to be given on the
evening Of July 2.
A telephone message has been
sent TO Prineyille assuring the
horsemen attencing the race
meet there this week that good
purses would be hung here will :
bring big string Of gallopers to /
participate in events and every |
,ne should make it a point TO be
lere for the entire celebration. 4

FAIR WEEK SPEED PROGRAM

The speed program for the Hm'-
ney County Fair TO be held Oct.
5-6-7-S-9, is the most attractive
ever put out by the local organi-
cation. This was made possible
by the liberal contribution and CO.
operation of the business men Of
Burns who are determined TO do
their part toward making this
fair the most successful in the
history of the county.
The liberal purses hung are
sure to attract a class of fast
horses and the dates arranged are
such as viii iit withlothernterior
race meets making il possible for
horse men to participate in adj
joining counties.

we give the speed program:

Home seekers are now moving
and every day there passes this
point emigrant wagons headed
for Inland Oregon. They come
from Idaho and they come from
Washington; many of them pass
ing through Harney county and
going to Lake and Klamath
counties. 1t is the opinion Of
those now on the road that this
season will witness a great many
prospective settlers headed in
this direction. Blue Mt. Eagle

The surveyors who have been
working on the route over Huclle-
berry fiat have withdrawn from
the field, and it is understood
that that route has been aban-
doned. 1t is not likely that the
road will be extended this year,
and if anything is done it is pos
sible that the surveyors may get
into the field on the route along
the Middle Fork, Blue Mt

eloquent, and the Eugene and Sa-
lem bands helped the occasion along
with appropriate music. A general
feeling OF interest was manifested by
the Eugene people in the coming
Cherry Fair In this city, and a mon
ster crowd is assured by the sister

PARAL YZED, MAN LIES
THREE DAYS, HELPLESS

San rancisco, July 6.-Suddenly
stricken with paralysis and made un-
able to move a muscel below his waist
Lee Kelly, sheet metal worker, lay
for three days and three nights with
out food or shelter in a vacant lot
az Seventeenth and Valencia streets.
Saturday morning while crossing
the lot, which is surrounded by n
high board fence Kelly was stricken.
At intervals during the afternoon he
called for help, but his cries were
unheard.
Saturday night he lay helpless on
the ground unable even TO drag him
self to the fence. Sunday passed, and
by Monday he was so exhausted and
weakened by exposure and hunger
that he gave up his efforts to attract
attention and prepared TO die.
Early today laborers going to work
passed through the lot and found the
man. He was hurried TO
the Mission emergency hospital where
he lies in a critical condition.

collection of autos and many other
interesting features introduced by
the merchants of Eugene. Probably
the most attractive float In the pa
rade was that OF large Japanese tea
garden. Swinging from the top OF
the frame we're Eugene's prettiest
girls, made up to resemble Japanese
maidens, and swaying to and fro in
small rope swings.
In the afternoon a small portion Of
the crowd, including over so Salem
people, took the cars for the ball
park to witness an exceedingly damp
game of ball between the Fairmount
clmb, of this city, and the Eugene
baseball aggregation. It was a nat
ural impo sibility for the two teams
to play a decent game under the con-
ditions, but they made a brave at
tempt at It, notwithstanding the
field was a muddy mass, and the Bu-
gene team defeated Fairmount by a
score of 4 to 0.
The race course at Eugene,
claimed a sprinkling of a crowd also,
but that amusement was not what
could be called n success, either, ow-
Ing to the track being in bad shape.
It was a bedraggled crowd of
patriotic celebrators who returned
from the sporting fields late in the
afternoon, and the Salem people,
there being 150 Of them, hied them
selves for the depot, where they
boarded the overland for home. On
account o. the heavy rain yesterday
very few Salem people were expected
by Eugene, but Salem did attend the
celebration, and in good numbers,
too, both surprising and pleasing the
Eugene people, who did every thing
possible to make the day enjoyable.
Hotel and eating accommodation
we're good, and the Salem visitors re-
,eived ev"ry attention possible.
There we're no fatalities TO mar the |
lay and, the Fourth in Eugene could |
Dc termed n thorough success, out
iide OF, and indeed In spite OF the |
ain.

CAPTURE OF TEHERAN
IS NOT VERIFIED

st. Petersburg, July 6.-The report
that the rebel army captured Teheren
yesterday cannot be confirmed today,
as wire communication with the Per-
sian capital has not yet been re-
stored.
In some quarters II is thought that
the report of the capture of the city
was probably due to a premature an
nouncement at headquarters of the
rebels. Others believe that the re-
port is true, and fear that a massacre
Is now in progress in Teheran.
