SPLENDID PROGRAMME ARRANGED
FOR LIBERTY PARK CELEBRATION

Today is the one hundred and thirty
third anniversary of the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence, or, i'll
other words, the birthday of this, the
greatest country on the face Of the
earth. Owing to July falling on Sun
day, however, it will be observed to-
morrow in Salt Lake City and, in fact,
throughout the state. The celebration
this year will differ somewhat from
those of previous years in that some Of
the most prominent citizens of tho town
have been working very energetically
for "sane Fourth" "
While the small boy must have his
toy cannon and firecrackers, he will not
have so many of them as in the past
and. IN fact, the sale for the goods has
been very slight this year to what it
has been III former years.
The celebration this year will lack
the customary din and confusion TO a
great extent and it Will be more Of
a dignifled and patriotic character The
principal celebration will be at Liberty
park. An elaborate programme has
been arranged for the occasion. which
is one especially for the benefit of the
children. The event viii be held under
the auspices of the Liberty stake of the
Mormon church, but it viii be partici-
pated In by the children of all crccds
and denominations
The children will assemble at the
north gate Of Liberty park at 10 clock
in the morning. They will then march,
four abreast. down the center driveway
to the road intersecting east and west
lhey Will then march east to the main

OIL MEN
STILL MAKING FIGHT

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The plac.
ing of petroleum on the free list by Il
substantial majority of the senate APP
parently has not taken all of the fight
out of the Independent oil producers
and another effort in the direction OF
protection for this industry will be
made when the tariff bill shall have
been perfected in the committee of the
whole and reported to the senate
AT n conference the representatives
of the Independent oil producers who
have been in WASHINGTON practically
all of the present session of congress,
it was decided today TO make another
effort TO amend the bill so ms to pro-
vide for a countervailing duty upon
crude petroleum, Unlike the provision
of the existing law, however, the pro,
posed amendment will prescribe that
the duty TO be collected shall be only
one half of the duty imposed by any
foreign country upon oil exported from
the United States.
Senator Curtis has been selected to
introduce the new amendment. Mexico.
which Will be affected more than any
other country if the countervailing
duty is maintained, imposes duty Of
nearly 40 cents a barrel on the crude
product This is estimated to be equiv
alent to an ad valorem rate of between
800 and 400 per cent. and the independ.
ents assert that this duty is prohibitive.
When this amendment is offered in the
senate an effort will be made TO get
roll call upon it,
Several members who voted against
the Penrose amendment placing a duty
on crude petroleum have signified their
intention Of voting for the countervail-

EXIT FACILITIES AT
SALTAiR TO BE BETTERED

At last the Saltair management has
come to the conclusion that the present
exit facilities at the resort are not ca
pable of accommodating the large
crowds which congregate there For
the past two years the exit facilities
have been the reason for much criticism
on the part of the public. 1t has been
almost impossible for women to push
through the small gates in time to OBJ
tain seats in the outgoing trains, and
Il number have been injured in getting
out of the exits.
Several other changes also are to be
made at the resort. The old engine
house at the entrance is TO be removed
and in its stead building is to be
erected for the Offices Of the company.
A large electric sign reading "Saltairp
is to be placed over the main gateway.
