PLAN BIG CELEBRATION
Dallas Will Commemorate Our Nations
Nativity in Thoroughly Patri-
Otic Manner this Year.

J. g. Hayter, w. R. Ellis and B. M.
Guy, the members of the committee
appointed Monday night to solicit
funds for Fourth Of July celebration
in Dallas have been during the past
two days, applying themselves zeal
ously to the work that has been
assigned them and, after great ex-
penditure of persuasive effort and
substantial sole leather in their goings
and comings about the city, are able
to report that their suit is progressing
prosperously.
Mayor H. G. Eakin says that he will
call a mass meeting as soon as he is
advised to that effect by the finance
committee, for the purpose OF laying
complete plans for the celebration and
appointing committees to carry out ltf
various details.
Dallas will be the only town IN this
section to hold a celebration this yeal
and that fact assures an enormous
attendance from all parts OF Polk
county and from many of the adjoin'
ing cities of neighboring counties
The prospect of a record breaking
attendance is sufficient to inspire
desire to make the proposed celebra
tion the very best ever held here and
once under way, the preparations will
be rushed forward with all enthus
iasm.

Yukon Pacific Exposition "Oregon's
splendid exhibit of its resources at
tracted great crowds yesterday at the
Alaska Y Yukon- Pacific exposition. The
thousands of persons who visited the
Beaver state building were greatly
i'm pressed with the display. especially
the great panorama in the dome OF
the building, which is made up
entirely Of seeds, grains and grasses.
The fisheries exhibit on the main floor
was an object of great interest, and
taken all in all. Oregon's display at
the A-Y-P fair could hardly be beaten.
The exhibits are we'll arranged and
the crowds were handled easily. There

the Oregon building yesterday, MOI
will there be until Friday, June Is
when formal reception will be held.

of their ground" before taking more
definite steps toward the selection OF a
site and the erection Of the building
