PASS MAY CELEBRATE.
Aviation Meet Planned for July
Fourth.

The celebration of the coming
Fourth was discussed pro and con at
the regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial Club. President Hobart
stated that he himself would like to
celebrate if the town could find the
features to make an attractive and
successful program. An aviation
meet appealed to him if the cost
would not be prohibitive. The best
figure yet obtained for this feature
was $1,000. Attorney o. s. Blanch-
ard was in favor of celebrating, but
his idea of a proper observance of
the day was to hold big picnic in
the park or some available grove, and
with sports, barbecue, fireworks, etc,
give the people a safe and sane day

Pass playing host to all of her friends

EXERCISES IMPRESSIVE.
Flag Day Duly Signalized by Local
Elks.

The flag day celebration given by
the Elks lodge in their spacious hall
was well attended, every seat in the
room being occupied. The exercises
were appropriate, full of patriotic
sentiment and enthusiastically re-
ceived, the large audience voicing its
appreciation by repeated applause
Appropriate musical numbers formed
an important part of the evenings
entertainment, national airs being
rendered by the orchestra and solos
OF patriotic nature being given by
Mesdames Wolf and McQuilkin and
j. K. McWil.iams The Elks quartet,
composed of Messrs. Briggs, lose,
Strickland and Hale, sang Auld Lang
Syne, with pleasing effect r. A.
Minkler read the flag record and w.
E. Newcombe delivered the Elks'
tribute to the flag. The latter fea-
ture formed one of the most impress
sive numbers on the program and
was delivered in an eloquent and
touching manner that appealed to the
large audience, permeated, as it was,
with spirit of loyalty of the order
of Elks to the flag of our country.
r. H. Burns delivered the address
of the evening, an address replete
with patriotic utterances that held
the audience completely. Mr.. Burns
stated that the present celebration
is in the honor of the 135th ami
versary of the adoption of the flag,
citing as an evidence of the marvel

tuted the constellation of the flag,
while now there are AS. He spoke
of the scope of influence now covered
by Old Glory and boasted that she
knows no politics, no party. All fac
tions and parties honor the flag. The
call to arms during the Civil War re-
suited in hearty response in de-
tense of the flag, and in speaking of
those dark days, Mr. Burns stirred
the hearts of his hearers by his reci-
tation of the patriotic story of Bar
bara Fritchie. He spoke of the ven
eratiCn evidenced in the capitol of
each state, in whose archives is to
be found a state battle flag torn
and pierced with bullet holes. He
boasted that every American loves

points as far south as Dunsmuir are
already making plans for celebrating
the Fourth in Ashland, attracted by
the prospect of juicy slice of beef

and camping privileges in the park,

Recently the salaries of the clerks
